 One of the genuine surprises of the season was afforded Silver City peo- pie last week when it was announced that Professor R. H. Agate and Miss Charlotte Rice had been quitely mar ried at the home of the brides par ents. So well did the young couple lay their plans that the news of the event came as a surprise to even their most intimate friends. Enter prise.
 The fact that '.sBorax" Smith, the promoter of the Tonopah & Tide water railway, has shipped several carloads of railroad material and supplies on the Santa Fe to Ludlow, would suggest that he had aban- doned the building of the proposed line from Las Vegas. Nevada, and that he would build into Death Val ley from the south, making the june tion point with the Santa Fe at Lud- low, or near there.
 A small sized Indian scare was re- ported from the western part of So- zorro county last week. A buck and a squaw raided the ranch of A. Riehne, stockman living near Frisco, killed some horses and run of some more. A posse was formed that took the trail and re-captured the stock, but could not catch the Indians. A posse of the territorial police has been ordered into that section to look after the Indians.
 Word from Mayor A. R. Gibson of Santa Fe, who is at present at Bar stow, Cal, states that he has made one of the richest strikes that has been made in that country for years. He has located seven claims on vein near Barstow that runs $500 in free milling gold to the ton. The vein is 11S feet wide and is close to where the Death valley plunger, Walter Scott, has several claims. It is-said that Mayor Gibson's claims make those of the famous ''Scotty" look like thirty cents. Mayor Gib- son is well known in Silver City where he has made frequent visits to look after some mining property near here in which he is interested terprise.
 w. A. Tenny, the freight con tractor, moved $500 pounds of as- sorted ore from Camp Fleming last week for shipment to the Fl Paso smelter. The ore is high grade and will net the owners handsome sum. The ore was taken from claim be- ing worked by Peter Mungaul and Charles Metcalf, about mile west of the Old Man mine. They have been working the mine now about nine m0nths and have taken out some exceedingly rich ore. The ore is a lead-sulphide, carrying silver values. The strike was made last winter at distance of six or seven feet, while crosscutting from BOO foot tunnel. The walls are well de- fined and show ledge of ore 16 inches wide. The gentlemen have been working the property at inter vals ever since, and the shipment . made last week represents months of >Natient toll, and for which they will no doubt be handsomely rewarded Enterprise.
 The experience Ed. Allen had with the screw worms should be a lesson to .xrl I~ -s. tackled. As told in the Liberal last week after getting relief from the first ones that matched he returned to Gold Hill the same afternoon, when more eggs matched out, and he went to the hospital at Silver City. The Enterprise reports that he was in such a bad shape when he got there that the doctors had to put him under the influence of chloro- form and took two spoonsful of worms from his head It was thought for time that he would die, but at fastest account he was improving. The eggs of the fly are so small that they are hardly visible, and if they grew from practically nothing to two spoonsful in day or so, the increase must have come from the tissue in Aliens head. Dr. Crocker wanted him to stay in Lordsburg for day or so, to see if any more eggs,hatched, but Allen thought he could not, as he had teams in Goid Hill that needed his care. If man finds that he has been attacked by these flies the only i safe thing for him to do is to get Adoctor and stay by him until MNe that all the eggs that
