Lordsburg Liberal says:
Prof. w. II. Stevens, superintend-
ent of the Michigan-New Mexico Cop.
per company, informs the Liberal that
his company has purchased a fifty
horse power. double cylinder, steam
hoist which will be placed on the De-
cotah Pearl mine. The company has
recently let a contract to have the
shaft on this property advanced 100
feet When this contract is complet.
ed the shaft will have attained the
depth of $50 feet A satisfactory feat
ure of this development work is the
constant improvement in the character
of the ore as the shaft goes down. 1t
is the companys intention to push de-
velopment on the property until the
shaft is down 500 feet, when they will
erect a teaching and cyanide plant
with a capacity of fifty tons per day.

Jackson, KY, May 28.-Early last
evening body of about sixty armed
men marched into Jackson. They were
not punched close together.
At midnight the providers began to
sneak across the street from the bank
south of the Jail. The guards demand.
ed them to halt. They refused and in
reply fired several shots. The guards
returned the fire. The providers ran
about a hundred yards further and
fired again. The guards then poured
three volleys into them in rapid sue
cession.
Moving objects were discovered on
the north side of the Jail and the
guards fired again and killed COW. A
few moments before the firing flash
of lightning revealed a squad of men

was expected that a concerted action
was to be made to reach the Jail and
the troops prepared to give any conner
hot reception, but terrific storm
was raging and it was absolutely so
dark that no further demonstration
was made.
The bullet marks this morning show
ed that firing was accurate and numer-
Gus, although no one was hurt.

one else interested can visit the diff
ferent places and see for themselves.
Another point misrepresented by
the Democrat Is upon the term of the
school year. The registers from the
several school districts will show that
the county schools for years have been
kept in session from five to eight and
up to ten months a year, the average
being seven.
Most of the school buildings were
during the incumbency Of
Hon Frank A. Hubbell as school su-
perintendent, and at present many
more are in contemplation of building.
This statement is made simply in JUS
ttce. as against the sweeping asser-
tion Of conditions made by the Demo
crat this morning. Some of the coun.
try schools are in session today. AS
to commencements, elegant buildings,
recitals, elocution and flow
ers, the country schools will have to
plead guilty, but We will reach up to
that by and by.

Niuht of Horror.

Jackson, KY. May 2S.-There was a
night of horror here and almost a pam
Ic among the troops as well as the
people.
An attack was made on the Jail and
repulsed. Hundreds of shots were
fired during the night. 1t is impossible
to get reports of the attack on the
county Jail last night when a mob of
hundreds charged on the Jail where
Curtis Jett and Tom White are held
for the murder of ]. b. Marcum.
1t is not denied, however, that there
was an organized effort on the part of
the feudists to take Jett and White out
of the Jail. Some say the object was
to lynch them and some say the pur-
pose was to rescue the prisoners. No
thing can be ascertained this morning
as to the results, the casualties or any.
thing, and there Is such a reign of ter
ror as to prevent the securing of news
or its transmission.

SOME SCHOOL MATTERS.
Figures to Show That the Democrat
Told a FaIsehood This Morning.
ARTICLE MISLEADING.

The morning sheet, the Democrat,
presents picture comparing the city
with the county schools, which is not
true. 1t says:
I'm elegant school buildings which
will compare favorably with like struc-
lures in any city of the nation, the
school commencements were held,
etc, while the country schools of Ber-
of their own, have their commence
ment exercises, the Lord knows when
or how. A good many of them econ
omize time and money by having their
terms begin and end at the same time,
and, taking the whole forty districts
together, they constitute the variest
burlesque upon an educational sys,
TEN. Why this difference?"
And then goes on comparing the ef-
ficiency of the city officials and de-
nouncing generally the inefficiency and
political management of the gang and
ali such rot, as being responsible for
the supposed conditions; but facts
will show different.
While, of course, We cannot boast
that our county schools are equal to
the city schools, in any respect, yet
the condition of the outside schools in
this county is as good and efficient as
any other Of their kind in the terri
tory. One great mistake of the morn
ing sheet is in saying that none OF
the county districts have buildings OF
their own.

CHIEF ENGINEER Dun
Here to Talk Over Matters With Other
RaiIraaders.
PLEASED WITH WORK o. CUTOFF.

James Dun, chief engineer of the

Trimb arrived in the city this morn.
ing from Belen. and Is spending the
day at the Alvarado. Mr.. Dun, ac

Lantry Sons, contractors, and ]. V
Keyes, engineer in charge. returned
to Belen last night from a trip fifty
miles along the line of the New Mexico
Eastern railway, now in course of con-
struction.
Mr.. Dun was seen this afternoon
and said that he was well pleased with
all he saw being done on the cutoff.
and that the work of construction is
progressing nicely. Lantry Sons are
so well along with the rock work in
some places that they are now going
on to masonry work for bridge abut-
ments. The grade from the east end
OF Abo canyon to Willard, on the San
ia Fe Central railway, will be finished
within thirty days, with the exception
of two steam shovel cuts.
OF course this steam shovel work
will have to wait until the track is
laid through the canyon. Mr.. Kelly
of Gross, Kelly & Company. is de-
livering a large amount of piling and
ties at Mountainair, the town on the
pass, and the bridge work will begin
right away. The tracks are layed out
ten miles east Of Belen to Colorado
station, and, as ties are being deliver
ed now. Will be layed to the canyon
in a little while, Mr.. Dun says that
the country is looking fine, rains have
fallen there and grass is good He
will leave for the east tonight.

After reading the above. what do
you think of Rev. Norman Skinner of
Las vegas7
Here are some of the ideas he con.
veyed to the good people of California
and Presbyterian ministers and dele
gates from all over this broad land of
ours:
Not public school in the territory
that is worth the name" How about
this, Superintendent A. B. Stroup?
Public instruction a farce" What
have you to say to this, Colonel ].
Francisco Chaves?
Statehood not wanted" Every man.
woman and child in the territory
knows better than that. II is want
ed, and it is coming at the next ses-
sion of congress, too.
Il prophesy that 1t will be fifty years
before we have any adequate system"
He means school system. Just think
OF that,
mot 10 per cent OF the Mexicans
have any education" To see that this
is lie. Just look at the report of su.
Of public instruction. and
also reflect on this, that we have in
this territory Mexican men and women
who are educated and upright persons.
How do you like this? Ninety
thousand poor. illiterate children,
bought and sold like cattle at every
and at lower prices"
"All are looked upon with contempt
by the whites" What a falsehood!
Does Rev. Skinner, man Who pre-.
tends to be minister Of the gospel,
think that by such falsehoods he is
the gospel OF Jesus Christ
We believe not. Does Rev. Skinner
look upon the Mexicans with con.
tempt?
II the Times quotes you correctly

and done an irreparable in.
jury to New Mexico.

new MEXICO SLANOEREO.
Rev. Norman Skinner, Of Las Vegas,
Does It in Los Angeles.
SHOULD Be CALLED TO ACCOUNT.

Rev. Norman Skinner OF Las Vegas
is attending the Presbyterian conven.
tion in Los Angeles. He has sland-
cred New Mexico, her people and her
public schools.
On Sunday afternoon he spoke at
a meeting held in the interest of home
missions, at Emmanuel church. in that
city, and the Los Angeles Times says
the commissioners were vigorously
enlightened on the statehood problem
which caused so much congressional
splutter during the past winter.
The Times quotes his language as
follows:
81 shall endeavor 10 speak the very
last thing they want TO hear in my
countryside truth. They are afraid
of 1t, and dodge or deny 1t on all pos.
sible occasions. We have a popula-
tion of 100000, of which 100000 are
Mexicans. Not 10 IT cent OF the
Mexicans have any education what
ever; all are looked upon with con-
tempt by the whites.
Christian education Is New Mexi-
co.'s only salvation. We have no com
mon schools that are worth the name.
Public instruction is the variest farce,
and whole families OF all conditions
are being brought up in absolute ig-
norance. | prophecy that it will be
fifty years before we have any ade-
quate system, and during that time
charity is all for which we can hope.
