SHORT BUT
VERY GOOD NEWS
Silver City Prosperous-Money Plen'
tiful and Banks Are in Fine
Conditions.

Judge w. H. Newcomb, OF Silver
City, arrived from the south on the
noon train today. He came on person
al business and will tomorrow visit Ra-
ton on a similar mission. Judge
Newcomb states that he has short but
good news from his town. Everybody
is busy and there is plenty of money
being made and in circulation. The re-
cent statement of the Silver City Ma
tional Bank shows deposits to the
amount of $438,732 and the American
National Bank, which has only been
in business twenty days, shows de-.
posits of $4,000. In Judge New
combs opinion this is the best showing
financial institutions of Silver City
have ever made and is quiteja feather
in the cap Of the town considering the
number Of it's inhabitants. The Silver
City Savings Bank, which is organized
under territorial statute, is also doing
good business and is leaning money
principally to contractors and builders.
Much building is going on and mechan-
les, such as stone masons, brick lay
ers, plasterers, carpenters, ETC., are
very busy and the demand is greater
than the supply. The contract for the
new Elks' building, which is also to be
theater, will be let on April 26th.
The structure is to cost $4,000 and is
to be handsome, commodious and mod
ern.

RIO ARRIBA
FLOURISHING
Travelling Auditor Stafford Finds Very
Satisfactory Agricultural and
Stock Conditions.

Travelling Auditor Charles V. SAT-
ford, who returned yesterday from
Rio Arriba County where he was in
conference with the county commits
sioners, county treasurer and county
assessor, reports that conditions in
Rio Arriba County, especially along
agricultural lines are very good. To a
New Mexican reporter he said:
my work with the officials of the
county was of routine nature al.
though considerable good resulted.
While in Rio Arriba, took occasion
to notice conditions outside of my
regular line of duty. While there will
undoubtedly be a large yield of crops
this year yet range conditions are not
so good. The creation of the Jemez
Forest Reserve by the government has
made pasturage somewhat scarce and
owners of land grants are charging
high prices for grazing privileges.
However, those fortunate enough to Sc
cure grazing permits on the Jemez Re-
serve are assured of good pasture,
plenty of water and government pro-
lection. The tendency, however, Is to-
ward the detriment of the small sheep
and cattle owners.
aside from this drawback, sheep
and cattle are in excellent condition
and live stock men are going to make
money.
81 did not have time to visit Ell
Vado but from reports the saw mills
there are running full force and are
turning out large supply of lumber.
Business all over. the county is -four
ishing and merchants appear to be con.
tented.
II will leave the Capital again in a
few days for the southern part Of the
county on official business"

thoroughly alarmed, and promising hurriedly 70

that Lethby was Miss Elotts cousin and would
probably have news Of her.
At the club he was greeted as one back from

him like so many hawks, and in the midst Of their
careless badinage and ralery he forgot for the
time his anxious fears.

The hottest political fight that has
occurred in this state in many years
was the republican mayoralty fight in
Minneapolis. David P. Jones, the pres
ent mayor, made himself very obiec-
tionable to the liquor and gambling
element by rigidly enforcing the Sun
day closing and the anti gambling laws
Mayor Jones stood for law enforce
ment and announced that if reelected
he would stand for the same principles.
This was equal to a declaration of war
as far as the liquor and lawless ele-
ment of the big city was concerned,
and with unanimity that would be
worthy Of much nobler purposes they
went after the mayors scalp. It was
battle of law and order against law
lessness and disorder; a battle Of de-
