TKoOrS have again been ordered out in Colorado to protect life and property from tine supposed fury of striking miners. Doubtless the troops were necessary as those Colorado miners have a reputation for doing nasty things, such as dynamiting and even the taking of life. Colorado, always the hot bed of strikers, has been particularly unfortunate during the past year. President Roosevelt acted wisely in refusing to order United States troops to Telluride. The militia of the state is certainly ample for present needs.

TIE excitement over the new gold strike in Sierra county is on the in- crease, and according to reports hun dreds of men are rushing to the new fields from every direction. Gold nuggets worth from SEQ to S3O have been found. The new diggings are said to be quite extensive Claims have been located along Apache creek for distance of fifteen miles. Apache creek is on the east side of the noun tains and empties into the Rio Grande. Sierra county has always been noted for placiers. Hillsboro, the county seat, was one of the original placier camps of New Mexico. and produced several millions of dollars. It would seem from reports that another rich camp has been dis covered, but authentic news is yet too scarce to judge of its permanency and future.

SISTER CARRIE NATION has been leading a strenuous life at Washing. ton. She logged out in her gay rags and sallicd forth to cheer the presi- dent by a pleasant morning call. She wished to advise the president with regard tO the brewery and saloon in terestS of the country. She was not admitted at once and becoming weary with delay she became violent, and was removed from the executive office by two stalwart policemen Carrie gave them liberal piece of her mind. She stated that although she was cjected from the building. she would pray for the policemen and also that the Lord would send a prohibition president who would have the good taste to admit her rather than a delegation of brewers. She next visited the senate and created a scene by screaming. saloons are an- archy. saloons arc treason and con spiracy." She was elected from the senate and afterwards arrested by the capitol police force. and taken to the police court where she was fined S25. which she paid, considering it a very cheap piece of advertising. Carrie is doubtless "bug house."

WILDEST EXCITEMENT PREVAILS
Around fiiIIsbOrO, New Mexico, Over
 Gold Find.

The greatest excitement within
 the knowledge of New Mexico
 is in the gold fields of Apache canyon
 Tn Cebolla mountains east of Hills
 borO. The news first came less than a
 week ago, and now five hundred peo- pie are on the ground and more com ing in every day. Some MeXicans, guided by an old Mexican chart. have
 been prospecting in the locality for some time, and last Sunday struck what proved to he a bona nza. bringing
 in bottle of gold nuggets, the result ot lew hours work. cleaning the bed rock, and blowing the dirt away with their breath. On Thanksgiving day the district court judge ard court off cers took holiday looking over the lind. One day more on their return ended the court proceedings, and they are of again, as are also most of the jurors and available population. The report Of the new bonanza strike, and a more extensive area than at irst re- ported Is keeping up the excitement. Wagons are provisioning up and go- ing to the scene almost hourly. The easily worked ground, and accessibil- ity is also attracting the crowd. It is doubtful if any part of the whole of the truth of the big strike is anywhere near known. Everything and every body is at fever heat over the dig Paso Herald.

Committed Suicide.

A Mexican by the name of Federico Castillo committed suicide about fif- teen miles above Clifton on the San Francisco river Thursday last. He was engaged in the wood business. His brothers who reside in Clifton state that he had been acting queer for some time past, and were there fore not greatly surprised at his talk ing his own life. It is seldom, how ever, that d Mexican suicides.

DTRING the last few months there has been considerable agitation in the lower Gila valley Of this county in re gard to the tailings turned loose III inc san Francisco river from the cun- centrating plants of Clifton and Mo renei. The ERA is not prepared 10 say whether or not these tailings are q detrinent to the valley farms, but at any rate the question should be met by both sides in spirit ot irend- Illness. The big companies have al ready signified willingness to do away with the tailings by inn bounding them in the canyons, where they can be stored, and perhaps used
 for filling the old workings. The farmers and miners in this county are SO closely allied that q disagree ment would be harmful to both' but can easily be avoided by a little patience. There is no use for the ERA to tell the farmers that the removal of the plants from this sec tion would be a direct loss to them. They know that already, for it would q destroy their home market, and make their farms proftless. The mining companies, owning their railroads could transport their ores many miles as is done in Montana, and still make the business profitable, but the farm CT could not follow them with his produce. Clifton and Morencl are today the best markets in the United
 states for farm produce of all kinds should these markets be removed tC New Mexico land values would de
 preciate fifty per cent the first year - o'
 compelled to abandon their home in order to make living. Hence, n
 both parties are equally interested il
 reaching a solution of the question they will doubtless be able to do so Il the near future. unless interfered witt by unreasonable and hot heade'
 people, who would precipitate troubl
 which should be avoided.
