INTEREST IN
COAL STRIKE
1t Has Shifted From the Northern
Fields to the Southern Part
of Colorado.
FUSS is UNNECESSARY
Opinion Of Governor Peabody After
Perusing Alleged 'lncendiary and
Incriminating" Letters.

Denver, Dec. { The interest in the
coal miners strike has shifted from
the northern fields, where work has
been resumed, to the southern part OF
the state. John Mitchell, president OF
the United Mine Workers will be in
Trinidad tomorrow to conte.' with the
district union officials. 1t is believed
that he will renew his attempt to Sc
cure personal conference with the
managers of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron and the Victor Fuel Companies,
who have repeatedly refused to meet
representatives of the union.
Nothing to Fuss About.
Denver, Nov. 1-Governor Peabody
decided after perusing the letters
written by Secretary Haywood of the
Western Federation of Miners, which
Adjutant General Bell declared to be
"incendiary and incriminating." that
there was nothing in them to make
any fuss about.

FORESTRY IN
NEW MEXICO
Timber Lands on a Big Cattle
Ranch to Be Put Under
Management.

A party of foresters from the
Bureau of Forestry, under the direc-
ton of A. F. Halves, has been employ
ed all summer on the William H. Bart
lett ranch in Colfax County. The field
work has been completed and system
of administration for the lands is now
in preparation.
The Bartlett tract lies at the south
ern extremity Of the Rocky Noun
tains in the Vermejo River Valley and
includes 100000 acres, part of the Max
we'll Land Grant The owner of the
tract, who resides in Chicago, uses it
in part as a cattle ranch and summer
residence.
The former owners of the ranch re-
tain the right to cut the timber for
definite period of years, and 1t is Mr.
Bartlett's desire that young forest OF
the best possible quality cover the
tract when these cuttings shall have
ceased. Much of the pine land has al
ready been numbered, though in most
parts sufficient number of seed trees
remain to insure reproduction. About
so years ago extensive fires swept ov-
er the mountainous parts of the tract
which were then covered with a mix
ture of spruce and fir. These burned
areas have since grown up to a dense
stand of aspen under which, in most
cases, there is a good reproduction Of
the native conifers.
The bureau will recommend that
fire patrols be established and fire
lines be constructed; that those parts
of lands covered with young reproduc-
ton be fenced in SO as to keep out the
cattle; and that considerable tree
planting be done, chiefly of western
yellow pine.
The plan will be accompanied by a
map showing the location of forest
types, proposed fire lines areas to be
planted, etc.

HEIRS SELL
OLD LANDMARK
Arthur Se1igman Secures the Title
to Property on the Southeast
Corner of Plaza.

An old landmark has changed hands.
The heirs have sold property on the
southeast corner of the plaza with a
frontage of AZ feet and inches on
San Francisco Street, and for the same
frontage running back ON Shelby
Street distance of 307 feet on Water
Street, on which thoroughfare It has
frontage of 80 feet and inches, 40
feet of the frontage on San Francisco
Street and to depth of 1876 feet being
the property of Mrs. Joha ira Kahn,
and occupied by the premises of Jacob
Weltmer the stationer. This plot be-
ing cut off makes the purchase 'L''
shape
The purchaser of the properly was
Arthur Seligman, member of the
firm of Seligman Brothers Company,
wholesale and retail dealers i'll dry
goods, fancy goods, boots aud shoes
clothing and notions. An incid ent
worthy of note in connection with the
purchase is that Bernard Seiigmaa,
the father of Arthur Seliglnan and
James L. Seligman, present members
of the firm of Seligman Brothers Com
pany established in 1856 with C. L.
Clever, at one time delegate to Con-
gress from New Mexico, the dry goods
firm of Seligman & Clever. in the store
room now occupied by Miss Musler,
the milliner, which is part of the
purchase.

made the transfer to Mr.. Selie~nan.
consist of Teresa Pratt, Lola A. Borra-
dale, John Borradaile, Josefa A. de
Heyn, Fred. B. Heyn, Anita ArmiiO,
Rosalia Armijo and A. w. Clelland,
Jr., eight in all, who are scattered
from New York City to Albuquerque.
The frontage on the plaza and San
Francisco Street also includes the
storeroom occupied by William +.
Slaughter as barber shop. Mr. Sell
igman has no immediate plans for inn
proving the property, but the lapse OF
time viii undoubtedly mark the erec-
tion of large and commodious build
ing to be used as department store
by the Seligman Brothers Company, as
a monument on the site where the
business was started by the father OF
the present members of the Arm half
a century ago.
The consideration received by tho
heirs of Ambrosio Armijo for the prop
erty is not made public, the deed sim
ply setting forth 81 and other valu-
able considerations.

DREYFUS
CASE AGAIN
Famous DEVILS Island Prisoner
Again Brought Before the Pub
lie Eye for Justice.

Paris, Dec 1.-The general belief
prevails in we'll informed circles that
the commission appointed to pro-
nounce upon the admissibility of the
request of Alfred Dreyfus for judi
cial revision of his case will submit it's
conclusions to the minister of justice
certainly within week and some per-
sons say before the end of the present
week.
M. Mercier, director of the minis
try of justice and member of the
committee, says the commission has
not yet assembled and that they have
no knowledge of the contents of the
document to be examined.
"The committee" M. Mercier adds,
proposes to take all the time neces-
sary to deal with such an important
question, but it's conclusions will not
be final. They may or may not be ac-
cepted by the minister of justice"
In this connection it is recalled that
the first consultation committee
charged to examine the petition pre-
sented by Madame Dreyfus, in the
name of her husband, then prisoner
at Devirs island, recommended against
a revision, but the minister of justice
overruled this, which is considered a
precedent for like action in the pres
ent development by Minister Vale,
who some time ago went so far as to
say that the policy of the government
had already been made up and was
favorable to Dreyfus, whatever the
conclusions of the commission, though
the officials expect them to support the
Dreyfus position.
The commission will pass on two
points-the uses made of the pre-
tended Bordereau letter annotated by
Emperor William of Germany, and
the alleged false testimony of Gar
nusk during the court martial at
Rennes.
Public interest has been aroused to
a high pitch by this latest phase of
the Dreyfus case, which was relegated
to second and third places, respective
ly, by the Panama affair and the
Humbert inquiry. Some of the sensa-
tional papers connect the Humberts
with Dreyfus, asserting that they used
their influence and money in his be-
half in order that the ministry might
not be subjected to the danger of be-
ing shaken up.
In consequence of the agitation fol-
lowing the action taken in the Drey-
fus affair." the government has allowed
the publication of the declaration
made at the last meeting of the coun-
Gil by M. Vale, the minister of justice.
The minister communicated to his
colleagues the contents of the dossier
and the result of the examination
made by War Minister Andre and
himself, adding, 'You understand that
will not consult you or solicit ad-
vice. have simply determined to in
form you of my decision, which I
have the right and duty to take as
minister of justice and which | take
on my own responsibility"
Deputy Congy, Republican Socialist,
today announced his intention to inter-
pellate the minister of war upon his
return to Paris in regard to his action
in the Dreyfus case, but the ministry
replied that it had no intention of ar
guing the Interpolation until the COM
mission had rendered its report.

AN ATTEMPTED
ASSASSINATION
Tapanese Medical Student Arrested

Yokohama, Dec IA Japanese med
ical student was arrested here today
on suspicion of an attempt to assassi-
nate Marquis Ito. He carried a dag
ger which he concealed when arrested
at the Marquis villa at Mize
1t is believed that this attempt on
the statesman's life is the outcome of
recent suggestions in the sensational
newspapers of Japan that ministerial
assassination would be patriotic ac-
ton tending to produce a more warlike
policy in the government.
