ERAL MANAGER
Former Las Negan Promoted TO
High Position by the
santa Fe.
THE SANTA FE'S
TRAINING SCHO i
Wise Policy of the System Which
Lessons It's Own Men for l'O-
SitiOns for " hich They are
Given Preference.

Miss Maggie Bucher received thi
morning telegram from Topeka L
the pleasing effect that her brother.in
law, j. f. Hurley, had been appointett
general manager of the Santa Fe rail
way, to succeed n. U. Nudge
This is gratifying news to Las We
gas, where Mr.. Hurley is claimed al
most as a citizen.
There was real regret here when the
| announcement was made that Mr..
Nudge had resigned from the Santa
Fe. He, also, was esteemed as q
New Mexico man and a good one
But when Mr.. Mudge's retirement be
| came known every Las Vegan was ca
ger that Mr.. Hurley should be appoint
| ed to succeed him. There was a gen
! eral belief here, founded on the
knowledge of the gentleman's indus
try, through training and splendid abil
| ity, that Hurley would be the man
but there is none the less pleasure
| felt now that the matter has been
made certain.
Mr. Hurley. like Mr.. Nudge, com
menced his railroad work in New Mex
leo and he remained in New Mexico
until his ability called him TO broad
er field The man who can achieve
this territory can till almost any kind
loi n railroad npsitione This has heeu
proven again ana again.
1t is 4 great training school for rail
way men we have down in this end OF
the earth and Mr.. Hurley is valedic-
torian and d leader Of his class.
In the promotion of Mr.. Hurley, the
Santa Fe has given further evidence of
its devotion TO a policy that has made
it strong among railroads-a policy
that has made its railway officials
sought by every big road in the coun-
try. As its big men, trained step by
step in every branch Of the service,
have succumbed to tempting offers
from other roads, other big men have
been found ready to step into their
shoes and TO fill them quite 1t has
not been found necessary, nor deemed
wise, to look to other companies for
men. The Santa Fe training has prov

NEW YORK, Dec. I3.-James j.
Corbett is shortly to retire from the

JUDGES WIFE WOULD NOT
HAVE DECIDED THAT WAY

KANSAS CITY, MO-, Dec. a.
Judge Gates in the circuit court to-
day rendt red a decision too the effect
that silk skirt is not an article of
necessity, and that if woman pur-
chases one her husband is not bound
to pay for it.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the American Outftting Go.
against Carleton King Mrs. King
is regular customer of the outftting
company and runs a bill. A few
months ago she purchased silk skirt
for $3.50, and as usual had it charg-
ed. When the bill came lin her hus-
band objected to the skirt item and
refused to pay for it. The outfitting
company, after trying in vain to COL
lect the bill, brought suit.
King set up that as the skirt was
no an Article of necessity he was not
bound to pay for it, and Judge Gates
upheld his contention. rendering judg.
ment for him and taxing the costs
against the Quitting company.
mo one need tell me-" declared the
Judge. "that silk skirts that cost
$1,000 are necessity to any woman.
My wife finds it possible to live
comfortably and happily and even go
out into society with skirts that cost
50 apiece.
''This idea of a woman having to
get herself out in silks and satins and
frippery is all foolishness. If her
husband wants her TO have such things
and is willing to pay for them it is
all right, but when she tuys them
without his consent and has them
charged to his account l will not be a
party to the holding up by forcing
him to pay for them

owners to ship ten dollar ore at a profit in which event there ought to be Q filling of the hills with prospectors unless the hundreds of men who are row familiar with the country have been entirely deceived in values. For they all claim to have ore that goes ten dollars or better. The completion of the Val Verde smelter will prove q fine nearby market for these ores and as it is to have a capacity of 600 tons 1t will be able to handle probably all that will come to it.
 pr. Geer says the Arizona Gold Co expects to begin shipping to the Val Verde smelter from it's mines at Gold Cn just as soon as the smelter is ready to eceive the ore. It had been the in- tention of the owners of the Mineral Belt near Wynden, of which the doctor is one, to erect a mill there this fall and the plans so far have not been changed, but if the shipment of ore to Val Verde should prove all that now seems to he assured, it is quite likely the company will find it cheaper to ship it's output than to build a plant.
