Mr.. Stephen Girard, the infidel mil
~lionaire Of Philadelphia, n Saturday
nade his clerks come next day and un-
load a vessel which had just arrived.

sANrA FE COURT.

In the case of N. Salmon, plaintiff,
versus. Nazario Gonzales, defendant,
an action to compel specific perior.
nance of a contract to convey certain
real estate in the city of Santa lie
and known as the Nazariu Gonzales
property on San Francisco street,
Judge McFie yesterday rendered en-
opinion in favor of the plaintiff, hold
ing mat the defendant had a perfect
right to convey the property and to
carry out the agreement and ordering
performance of the contract. The de-
Tense made the contention the de-
PENDANT was coerced into the signing
of the agreement by undue and i'm
proper influence; also that defendant
could not convey legally one hals OF
the title, as it was vested in the heirs
of his deceased wife. he, defendant,
having conveyed to her, during ner
life time, a one-half interest in tho
property and although she had con
veyed the entire property back to
him in 1897, never the less, defend
ant claimed that under the sta-u.a
governing such cases, she had no
right OF power to -diSest her heirs of
any right or title belonging to her l..
the property. The case is important,
not only on o of the amount
involved. which is $4,000, but also
because it is the first time in the ju-
risprudence of the territory hat the
community right statute of 1884 has
been directly decided. Judge McFie
wrote an elaborate and well consid-
ered opinion in the case, which was
filed by him today. The attorneys
for the plaintiff were: A. 3. Rene=
ian. r.. l.. Bartlett and G. W. Knae-
bel: for the defendant Catron and

LAWRREAkERS

A citizen today called the atten-
ton to The Optic to the fact that q
city ordinance providing for the
dumping Of garbage is being violated
with impunity, especially in the
north and east parts of the city. The
city has set apart a suitable place for
q dumping ground and the citizen
suggests that the Woman's Fedora
ton, which is doing SO much to en-
sure the cleanliness of the city, take
steps to see that the ordinance 10

citizens frequently purchase q load Of
wood from the haulers and then en-
ploy them to carry on The accumula'

NO CONSOLIDATION

The Optic says that there is no OPP
position to the consolidation of the
two postoffices i'm Las Vegas, but the
postal authorities tell a different story.
There is a big kick from the whole
west side of the city.-Albuquerque
Citizen.
Ii would be so much better il the
Citizen would inform itself before it
ventures t give Information concern
ing the affairs of this city. The west
tide wants a consolidation of the
pcstoffices. But objection is made
and will continue to be made to the
summary adjustment of the west side
office. thus depriving four thousand
people of convenient mail ia
c~ilities. There has been no
consolidation; the a S side of.
fee remains as before. the west side
office non est. The business men of
both east and west side are for con-
solidation and a central office. AS the
Citizen seems to be possessed with a
consuming desire to mix up in Las
| Vegas affairs. thereby, perhaps, hop
| ing to withdraw attention from its en-
| harrassing predicament at home, it
| will perhaps have the courtesy to cor
rect its unfounded assertions regard
ing the postoffice matter here.

Nothing gives a better idea OF q
town than the newspaper printed in
it. The Optic proposes, when it en-
larges the first of the month, to spend
several hundred dollars a month more
in making a larger and better paper.
When it goes abroad every n who
sees it cannot nelp being impressed
with the Importance of a town in which
such a paper is published. The Optic
will do its part if the man who adver-
tises and the man who reads will do
theirs. The laborer is worthy of his
hire, and a larger paper costs more
money. A little plan of putting more
money into The Optic for advertising
and putting less into fake advertising
schemes will accomplish ten-fold the
result for the advertiser.
For the past two years The Optic
has been buying large quantities Of
machinery and type with a view to
making a bigger and better paper at
the proper time. and the time has
come.

Great Britain's supply of coal yet
remaining to be mined is 0 placed
by experts at 8O,6S4, 00O, 900 tons,
which, at the present rate of mining.
will last $40 years. But as the rate of
mining is likely to increase right
along. the supply at best must be ex-
hausted within $50 years. This is a
brighter prospect than was figured
lout 80 or 40 years ago, when some
Estimates brought exhaustion within
about 100 years from the present
time. 1t is quite possible, however,
that population will not increase in
lGreat Britain as rapidly as hereto
fore; and it is highly probable that
substitute sources Of energy will be
discovered or applied ere long to an
~lextent that will materially reduce the
demand for coal. Anyhow, the end OF
England as a great industrial nation
is not yet in clear sight.
