Agent Mahoney informes the LIB
ERAL that Chas. S. Fee, passenger
traffic manager, announces that the
Southern Pacific will, commencing
with December II double and greatly
improve its passenger service between
San Francisco and New Orleans. Mr..
Fee only gives the time of the east
bound trains. The Sunset express
will leave San Francisco at 1880 p. M,
arrive in Los Angeles at 1890 the
next morning, and lay over there UNI
til $40 p. m. 1t will pass through
Lordsburg 1880 p. m, and arrive in
RI Paso at 11;55 p. M, and New Or
leans at 6:45 p. m. The run will be
made from Los Angeles to New Or
leans in two days and nineteen hours.
The train will have the highest class
Of equipment, including out door OBJ
servation rotunda, observation parlor,
library, clubroom; drawing room
sleeper and diner. The number of
business days spent on a trip to most
of the eastern cities. will be approx
mately the same as on other limited
trains. The other train, No. 8, will
leave San Francisco at 8 p. M, pass
through Lordsburg about 8 a. M, and
arrive in Ell Paso at l p. m. 1t will
have the same equipment as the other
train, but will be a little slower. MI.
Fee says that the events of the sum-
mer had in no way affected the belief
of the Southern Pacific company that
the volume of winter travel to Cal
ifornia would be heavier than ever
before, and this faith was being ex-
pressed in increased train service.
The new service is to be extensively
advertised, and at the same time Cal
ifornia's unexcelled opportunities for
pleasure and home seekers. There
will be no change of the Golden State
Limited. Later information gives the
time of the westbound trains. No. 8
win leave Ri Paso at 5:45 a. m, and
reach Lordsburg about 1880. No. 7
will leave El Paso at $50 p. M, and
reach L~ordsburg about 1880 p. m.
The trains in each direction are about
twelve hours apart, and this will save
Lordsburgers much money they have
had to spend for hotel accommoda-
tions in Deming.

The miners Of this section Of the
country once took a much greater in
terest in silver than they now do in
copper, and with silver once more
selling for a good price it will again
be an important metal. The follow
ing from the New York Commercial
Bulletin, of October 16, regarding the
white metal is of interest. Since the
article was printed in the Bulletin
silver has sold as high as 10 cents:
In keeping with the trend Of other
metals and commodities in general,
silver the past week made a new high
level-69i cents-the highest since
1896. This is largely attributed to
the buying for Indian account, though
the purchases Of the United States
Government were a minor factor.
Since the first of the year it is esti-
mated that India and the Far East
have taken about IS, 900 ounces,
which, with a consumption in the
arts Of go, 1000, 900 ounces, leaves a float
ing supply for coinage purposes OF
other countries of only about 25,0O0,-
900 ounces During the past decade
there has been but a comparatively
small increase in the output of silver,
despite the much larger demand, the
present production being about no.
900, 900 ounces. Not only has the East
been a large buyer, but the require
ments Of France and other European
countries for coinage purposes were
fully up to the normal. Should China
enter the market, it is argued by be-
levers in higher prices that the diff
ference between the supply and de-
mand would be emphasized. One Of
the curious results of the rise in
silver has been the expectation of
Mexican currency, the bullion value
of which exceeds the legal value.
With silver quoted in London the
past week at 32td, the range Of prices
for a series of years is of interest:

There was a most lamentable ira
gedy last week at Rice station on the
ella Valley road. A man named Jack
Purvis stole a team of mules and sold
them to Robert Sherrer g. Co., con-
tractors, who are doing work at Rice.
Mr.. Sherrer was going to Los Ange-
les, and saw Purvis at Bowie. Deputy
Sheriff Stanley of Globe was at Bowie,
and arrested Purvis. 1t is said he
searched him, and then let him run
loose till train time, when he started
with him for Globe. A telegram was
sent to Rice instructing Sherrer's
book keeper to come to the train and
identify Purvis, so that Sherrer need
not come back, but could continue his
trip to Los Angeles. At Rice the
book keeper, II. f. Wilbur, got on the
train, and said Purvis was the man
who sold the mules, and then the
trouble began. The papers from that
part of the country say that Purvis
pulled a gun and shot Wilbur in the
abdomen, that the deputy sheriff
jumped him and in the struggle Pur-
shot his gun and hit Perry Vim
cent in the groin, and continued
shooting and the deputy turned the
gun SO that he shot himself in the
head, and emptied his gun. The LII
BERAL has talked with several trav-
men who were on the train,
and they tell a different story. They
say that Purvis shot Wilbur, and then
took a second shot at him and Vim
cent, and then deliberately put the
gun to his own head and fired, and in
the meantime Deputy Sheriff Stanley
did nothing to prevent the shooting,
and was not struggling with Purvis.
The shot that killed Purvis was not
an accident of the struggle. S~hanley's
c~arelessness in not watching Purvis is
due the killing. Purvis died that
and Wilbur lived for a day or
50. He had been married but a
couple of weeks. The travelling men
who know him speak most highly of
him.

This section Of the country has
been visited by the most unusual
spell Of weather the last week. Sun
day it turned cold, and Monday there
was a rustic to put up stoves, and for
several days it was good winter
weather. The storm was a general
one, and in the northern part Of the
territory, and further east and north
there was regular blizzard weather.
There was no now in this section, al
though at Metcalf and Morenci some
fell. The wise weather Projectors
claim we viii have an open winter,
and a late spring following this early
cold snap.
