The Vendome hotel enjoyed the
washout and tie up of the Arizona s.
New Mexico road. There accumulat
ed quite a number Of people who
wanted to go to various places up the
road, some on business, some on pleas
ure, and some because they had to.
As there was no train they had to wait,
and hotel bills kept accommodating
while they waited, and most Of these
bills swelled the Vendome's bank ac-

T. A. Lister and G. G. Kulp presi.
dent and vice president of the North
American mining company, made a
trip down to FL Paso, returning the
frsJ of the week. Mr.. Kulp is out
here from Williamsport, Pennsylvania,
TO look owe the affairs Of the North
American company. He tells the
LIBERAL that he is greatly pleased
with what he has seen, and thinks
the company has got a great mine.
Professor Jones, the eminent mining
authority, who was at the mine last
week, will return, and give the prop
erty a careful and extended examina-
tion. He has already given the com
pany some advice regarding the work
ing Of its property, which has resulted
IN the commencement Of a new shaft
on another vein of the Cobra Negra,
which the company had intended To
strike by cross cutting, but which can
be more economically and satisfac-
tOrily exploited by the shaft. Mr..
Kulp will probably remain at the
mine for a month or so, for he is not
only learning a great deal about the
property, but he is having a good time
and escaping the rigors Of a PeOnsyl-
vania winter, and the one on exhibit
tlon this year is particularly bitter.
