SALE or RATION COAL FIELDS.

The sale OF the immense coal fields
OF the Maxwell Land Grant company
10 railroad interests, which are al
most beyond question Rock Island, Is
one of the most important business
deals ever carried out In New Mexico.
The transaction Is important, not only
because OF the large amount OF
money Involved In the direct sale.
but In what II means In the way OF
railway extension and the develop
ment Of the northern part Of this
territory.
That the Rock Island railway com.
pany In order to maintain It's pres.
tige, must reach the Pacific coast Is
apparent to everybody. The way has
been blocked In the south. There Is
only one route open. That Is by way
of the Cimarron canyon. II Is very
well assured that another transcon-
tinental line will be built and that
IL will be run through northern New
Mexico.
While all the members Of the board
Of trustees Of the Maxwell grant
worked tremendously to bring about
the sale Of the coal fields. especial
credit is due to Attorney Frank
Springer Of this city who took the lead
in carrying on the negotiations, and
attended to every detail Of the trans
action.
TO Mr.. Springer much credit Is due
for the able administration of the af-
fairs Of the grant since he succeeded
to the presidency In 1892. Al that
time the affairs OF the grant were In
a bad way and the didn't
amount to a dollar a year. 1t was an
open question whether the owners
wouldn't abandon the grant as a losing
proposition.
During Mr.. Springer's incumbency.
a large part Of the grant has been
proftably utilized, valuable sales and
leases have been made, large revenues
have been produced great development

What would you think of a young
man, ambitious to become a lawyer.
who should surround himself with a
medical atmosphere and spend his time
reading medical books? DO you think
he would ever become a great lawyer
by following such a course? No, he
must put himself into n law atmos-
phere. where he can absorb 1t and be
stepped in It until he is attuned to the
legal note. He must be grated into
the legal tree 40 that he can feel Its
sap circulating through him.

who Is always complaining Of the in

and whose every step Is on the road
to failure-how long would 1t take him
to arrive at the success goal? Would
any one believe in him or expect him
to win?
The majority Of failures began to de-
teriorate by doubling OF depreciating
themselves. or by losing confidence in
their " ability. The moment you

in yourself you c~apitulate to the enemy.
Every time you acknowledge weak

you weaken your self confidence, and

So long rs you carry around a fail
