A LAMeNrAsLs DISGRACE.


From The Caliente Express:
c. B. Sibert. owner Of the sibert
group of mines near this city, is one
of our most progressive citizens. Mr.
sIbert paid down his hard cash for
the mines that now bear his name
and from the very start he has demon
strated not only the worth of the Cal
iente Gold Mining company's claim.
but he has proven the value OF every
mining claim of value in this mining
district
Mr.. Sibert has been harassed and
annoyed by unfortunate circumstances
by irresponsible characters who have
endeavored to annoy him in the sue
cessful opening up of his property and
by divers and other means which
makes it both trying and disgusting
No surprise need be expressed should
he decide to suspend operations in
this camp until conditions become
more agreeable to the upbuilding of
Caliente and dlstasteful to the disturb
ing element who apparently secures
aid and encouragement in their viii
famous designs on the plea of SYM
pathy
We trust Mr. Sibert will be permit
ted to pursue his business without the
meddling or interference of trouble
seekers and that the riot breeders De
given a hasty dose of medicine vigor-
ously applied that will make compre-
hension apprehensible with rapidity or
otherwise. that peaceable means be
resorted to by which such ulcers of
that class be made scarce In this min
ing camp.
Mr.. Sibert is doing all man can pos
sibly do in trying to bring out this
district and every fairminded citizen of
Caliente ought to lend his moral and
physical support in assisting this en-
pire builder.

he occupied was entirely inadequate TO
his needs and desires He therefore,
wanted the agent to dispose OF the
property as soon as possible. and IN
the meantime the owner would endeavor
to find a home more suited to his tastes
The real estate agent visited the res

one of the local papers setting forth the
many advantages of the property, but
did not give the name o. the Owner or
the exact location. The following morn

This is probably true. and mary will

The fact that Washington has been
selected by the wealthy class as the mt
place for home is OF more weight than
one would ordinarily suppose. Here is

but the added Importance that other

adopted the custom of purchasing
Washington homes. II is certainly not
with a view to economy that this has
been done, for the expenses of main
tanning on establishment are much
greater than if modest apartments were
secured in any section of the city: and
certainly the move cannot be explained
on a political basis. for the longer
Senator or Representative remains re-
moved from his constituents the more
apt is he TO have opposition But the
explanation lies in the fact that III spite
of the palpable political and economic
disadvantages. the National Capital pre-
sents so many advantages as a place of
residence that those who can afford TO
do so are acquiring permanent homes
here.
These incontrovertible statements take
