THAT GOVERNMENT ROAD.

While the legislature has the matter
under discussion and there are pros
poets of getting outside help, the citi-
zens of Las Vegas should bestir them
selves and help along the proposed
wagon road across the range to Santa
Fee.
The section traversed by this road
Is the natural summer recreation
ground of the west besides the mines
of the Pecos will in the not distant fu-
ture cut q large figure in the CONNER
cial status Of both Las Vegas and
Santa Fe.
From this side of the range there
are two good routes to the Pecos, one
up the Gallinas canyon, past Harvey's
and along the hogback from there to
the base Of Elk mountain, and the 9TH
e + past San Ignaci0 up the Sapello,
to the Blake ranch. thence to the top
of the ridge between the Gallinas and
SapellO rivers, and over the range
to Willow Creek. Either of these
| routes would cost lot to exceed IS 900
for construction and besides throwing
the whole Pecos trade to Las Vegas,
| would open the park from this side of
the mountains to summer campers,
and add materially to the city as a
| pleasure resort. Let the board OF
trade look into this Immediately, re-
Numbering hat by lending their coun-
tenance to the project at once q great
deal of the expense can be nullified by
the employment of convict labor which
the Territory proposes to furnish.

Party of Pennsylvanian's Inter

The Sentinel has made reference to
the presence in the city for the past
two days, of a number of Pennsylva-
mans who are largely Interested in
the plant of The Grand Junction Smell
ting company. These gentlemen call
ed at this office yesterday afternoon
and most pleasant conversation was
had, regarding the future industrial
progress of this city.
The gentlemen who. were callers
were Boyd N Park. Charles NJ. Hulin,
of Franklin, Pennsylvania and b. U.

versation. one thing particularly is
worthy of mention. One of the gen-
tlemen, Just before his departure said.
1--WE are putting considerable money
in the smelling plant ana hope that it
will be a success. We want to feel
that your people are deeply interested
in the success of this plant. So far as
the money is concerned. that is a mat
ter which causes little concern. all our
people want Ito know is that your
people here have faith in the scheme
"We have examined the plant fully
and are pleased with the great amount
of work accomplished. We cannot see
any reason for failure, if the ore can
be secured to keep the smelter busy.
1t IS n splendid plant. credit to any
community and it should be a finan-
cial success aud be verv helpful to the

The speaker was assured that the
smelter had the moral backing of this
entire community. That so far as the
citizens were able they had invested
in the stock of the concern and that
they were just as hopeful of success,
as We're the foreign stockholders.

Under the guidance of Mr.. f. e.

city and were much impressed with
its commercial activity considering its
size.
1t was not determined whether the
party would return from Aspen to this

"A DOUBLE DOSE
Another Case of Small Pox
Develops. One of the Three
men Who Originally Bro't
1t Here Affected.

Another case of small pox developed
last night at the Candy House located
ON Rood street, near 2nd. The party
is man by the name of Smith and
he is one of the three men who first
came to this city with the germs of
the disease in their system He is a
partner of the man now in the pest
house, who was removed from the
Southern hotel.
Smith, the man now afflicted with
the disease, was one of the two men
who escaped from the officers, at the
time their partner was taken down
with the disease in the Southern
hotel He became sick yesterday and
went to DIR. L b. Hards the city phys
ician and he at once discovered that
the man had case of small pox,
fully developed.
The man was told that he must be
removed to the pest house and ex-
treme measures were at once taken by
the officres to quarantine all persons
in the house at the time that the
case was dedeloped. There We're
twenty one presons living at the
Candy house, which is boarding
house and run by Mrs. Herde.
Four persons. unknown to the Off
GERS have been exposed to the disesae,
through intermingling with the man
Smith, but who remained away after
the quarantine went into effect.
These people the officers have been
trying to locate. but thus far have
been unsucce ssful
Smith tells many stories of his
whereabouts. since he was first able
to circumvent the officers. at the time
the Southern hotel was quarantined.
He says he has been working as a
farm hand and that the other partnre
| who escaped with him. is now in
Glenwood Springs and that he is affiic-
ted with a case of small pox.
The officers placed themselves in
| communication with the officres at
Glenwnod Springs this morning. to
see if the man was telling the truth,
as they have every reason to doubt al
most every thing the fellow says. as
he has been lying considerably about
his whereabouts.
When it became known that there
was a case of small pox at the Candy
house, the officers at once took prec-
autionary measures, TO see that no one
who was in the house, or who had
been exposed should escape. A rigid
quarantine was established, two men
being placed on watch in the day and
two at night time.
The large number of persons who
have been exposed to the disease in
| the Candy house, makes it absolutely
necessary that the most rigid quaran-
tine be maintained.
There need be no unnecessary alarm
felt over the development of this case.
The man did not contract the dis
| ease here. He was one of the three
men who brought the first case to the
city and with the prompt action OF
| the city officials in removing the man
to the pest house and prompt quaran-
tineing all those who had been ex.
posed. there can be felt the relief
chat of the iInprobability of any more
cases developing ON the outside, OF
those who have been brought in close
contcat whit the germs of the disease.
