Building operations will soon be In
full blast if material and workmen
can be secured.
Chas. Holly expects to plant about
IA acres in orchard this spring. OF
LOO peach trees he ordered, 1850
were Elbertas.
1t is estimated that 500 acres will
be planted to new orchard this spring
in San Juan county. Who says the
new railroad is OF no value to this
section?
If the two new canals are complet-
ed the Aztec-Bloomfield country will
soon be growing some.
The land on the Bloomfield mesa is
being divided up into smaller tracts,
which will be much better for the
place when the canals are once in
operation.
The commissioners voted $4,000
for bridges-s9, 900 for three bridges
on the San Juan: one at Bloomfield;
one at Blanco and one at Pennington.
While we believe that the amount
could have been better expended for
one or two first class bridges, yet
neither place would consent to bridge
building unless there were bridges for
all. We are informed that there
would nave been a bridge at Bloomt
field years ago If 1t had not been for
the jealousy OF the Pennington dis
trict. The result was the loss of
about dozen lives. Three bridges
are none too many If substantial
bridges can be put in at that price.
Our oil boom seems to he taking a
nap.
One industry built with substantial
foundation is worth a dozen weakly
creations that are doomed as failures
from the start. It don't pay to try
to do all at once. 1t is all fame to
start in and failure at the end. This
is especially true of factory proposi-
tions.
The new board of trade at Aztec
scored a good point on the bridge
proposition for start.
Cedar posts are becoming scarce
and quite valuable. Guess we will
have to use cement.
Citizens of Aztec have decided to be

The road is to intersect with the

a line will be built mp the San Juan

not intersect with the Colorado line

LA PLATA COUNTY MINES.

La Plata Miner.
There is nothing new doing in the
mining business and this condition is
likely to prevail for from four to six
weeks as it will require that length of
time for the immense body of snow to
melt enough to allow the starting OF
new work or the resumption of work
ON properties that were shut down on
account of the lack of supplies. In
some instances it may be possible to
start work by the list of May, but, If
we have the usual amount of storms
during April, it is hardly likely that
1t can be done. However, although
we may be late in getting started, the
amount of work projected for this
year will make this the liveliest sea-
son ever known in the camp.
The Bonnie Girl Empire and Chief
properties, on which only develop
ment and building operations have
been conducted for two or three years,
have been brought to a point where
production will soon begin.
While the work on the Durango
girl will be mostly development, as
large force as possible will be EN-.
ployed, and, as this mine always pro-
duces quite largely from development
alone, its output will materially in
crease our figures this year.
The May Day will furnish employ
ment Cor at least 100 men and the ore
now in sight insures the continuance
OF its output of from 100000 to $4,000
per month.
As soon as the Valley View Mining
company can get in mine timbers and
lumber for shaft house work will
commence on this property which ad-
JOINS the May Day and Chief, and.
while it will be developed, If the
present pay streak continues, the pro-
duction will be worth noticeing.

 lived in the city from Tombstone, where he had spent the day in con !nection with the case.
 At the time Rapier was arrested in this city he had great number or receipts for postoffice money orders, as well as s2S775 in cash. He also had several of the checks which he had stolen and filed out, but 1t was un- 'certain whether or not Rapier had used all of the cheeks, or whether he had confederate who would get away with those which had not been used. As soon as the United States of ficer arrived in the city he met Officer Johnson of the local police force and secured search warrant. After mak- ling a few inquiries they proceeded to the house at which Rapier had stop
 ped during his short stay in Bfsbee. The officers found it unnecessary to luse the search warrant as the people with whom Rapier had lodged were ionfy too glad to lend them all the as- sistance they could in the matter A thorough search of the room which
 Rapier had occupied was made and re-
 suited in the finding of the charred edges of a number of checks. It was an easy matter to identify the partic- les as pieces of United States govern ment checks, and the officers are con- ivinced that the man with whom Ra-
 pier had roomed, for the few days he
 was here, had become frightened and
 examined Rapier's baggage when he
 heard of the arrest, and destroyed the checks.
 The officers stated that they were convinced that Rapier had no con- federate in his operations, because as far as they have investigated, they have found that although he had com panions in several places, he, only was with these men for day or so. Just what action the federal authorities will take in the matter is uncertain, but will probably be decided in few days.
 It has been stated that the money which Rapier had sent to his brother inIaw, Robert Morrissey, will be re- turned to the government.
 The father of the prisoner is almost broken-hearted on account of the ac- ton of his son. Together with many other family troubles which have arisen Tn the past few months, this new burden is weighing him down.
 The prisoner was given his prelim- mary bearing yesterday afternoon at the county seat.
