Streets Not So Bad,

The Pecos Valley today came to
herself again, and the sunshine is
rapidly drying up the mud. 1t is evil
dent that Main street already has a
pretty good foundation for paving.
There is merely a s1op of two or three
inches of mud on the surface, and
even loaded vehicles do not sink
down more than few inches in the
middle of the street. The gravel and
cinders used in repairing the street
and the" work of throwing it up in
the middle has had a good effect
With a little better drainage so as
eliminate the hog-wallows near the
curb, Roswell streets could stand
lots of wet weather even without
paving.

Philosophy of Advertising.

In discussing the philosophy of ad-
crat asks who pays for the advertis-
ing of merchants and other business
men. Answering its own question it
constructs this chain of argument:
Not the advertiser, for the cost is
returned to him fourfold in increas-
ed profits; not the purchaser, for he
buys cheaper from the advertiser and
mas a better assortment and fresher
really pays the advertising bills? The
non-advertiser, of course. A just pro-
portion of the money he loses by his
lack of initiative and enterprise finds
it's way eventually to the printer, to
advance the cause of education and
the interests of the community
In commenting upon the above the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
adds:
''Very good. But it should be added
that if the non-advertiser should he
come an advertiser and pay his mon
ey directly to the newspaper he
would get it back many times over
in increased trade, and thus be a
gamer instead of a loser. This makes
the argument complete and unanswer
able Moreover, the contention is sus-
tanned by the experience of the most
successful business men"

Died of Pneumonia.

George W. Losch, aged 60 years,
| died Saturday morning at Z o'clock
at the Charles Killing ranch, Is miles
| northwest of Roswell, after a two
weeks illness with pneumonia. He
had been working at the ranch and
also had some sheep running in that
range. His wife and daughter, Miss
Lena Losch, reside in Roswell. He
also leaves two daughters who reside
in Stanton, Texas, Miss Henrietta
Loscn and Mrs. Charles Glasscock.
Mr.. Losch came to Roswell 5 years
ago and his wife and daughter fol-
lowed a year later. He was a mem
ber of the Catholic church, and the
funeral was held at the church at
nine o'clock this morning, burial be-
ing made in the South Side cemetery.
In a recent issue of the Santa Fe
New Mexican appeared a news item
stating that George L. Wyllys had
been appointed District Clerk to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
the late c. M. Bird. The New Mexican
was misinformed, the employment of
Mr.. Wyllys being only temporary.
The New Mexican gives Mr.. Wyllys
a deserved compliment in connection
with the item-and of course many
people in Roswell would be pleased
to have Judge Pope make the appoint
ment of Mr.. Wyllys permanent.

 The opinion of local mining men who have been at Paradise during the past two months is that the develop msnt work was carried on by anna teurs and that the Chiricahua prop erty has not been developed in man. ner likely to disclose Ae nre bodies. Recently mining men1of high stand ing visited the property in company with Captain Burns and it Is under stood that they were moi backward in condemning me development work done
 Captain Duncan, another of the original owners. is expected here from St. Jo. Missouri, next week and will probably remain in this section until l. is known what course the Chirica- hua Development Company proposes to pursue.
 In the event that the Chiricahua Development Company gives up the present option the property will pass into the hands of new company.

SHATTuck-ARiZoNA.

Preparations for the shipping of ore are now almost completed at the Shattuck. The tramway is very near completion. and the cables have been strung. The tensions will be put in position this week. The railroad spur which was put in for the accommodation of the Shattuck is now completed. and 1t is expected that the first carload of ere will be hauled over it about the 20th of August. The 1000 ton ore bins are now very nearly filled, and of ore will be haulded over it about it is expected that the first carload the 20th of August The 1000 ton ore bins are now very nearly filled, and by the time shipping is commenced will be loaded to their full capacity
 The site has been selected for the new office building. and the erection will commence as soon as the prepa- rations for shipping are completed. The new building will contain three rooms. The chief engineers room will be 16x24; the main office. 14x16 feet; and the superintendent's office, 10x14 feet. It was the original in

than S1.00 per pound. Besides the wulfinite the ore being brought up from the mines gives values in gold and silver of s15.00 per ton.
 All told the Sonora Bonanza owns four hundred and fifty acres of ground, and the claims are so situated as to take in fully one and one-quarter miles of the mineral ledge that is being ex- plotted. Up to the present operations have been confined to the eastern DOT ton of the property. Here the sur face showing is not nearly as promis- ing as in the center and western sec tions of the company's ground, but the typographical conditions where the work is being conducted admitted of better advantages for operating. As will be consistent with the working of the property in the most thscough and systematic style, additional shafts will be started and plants enlarged, and with the very efficient management in charge there is no questioning that the property will develop into one of the signal successes among mining yen- lures in the southwest.
 Senator Charles Smith, of the Calu- met & Hecla O., Calumet, Mich. i; Thomas E. Wells, Negaunee, Mich. W. M. Barker, president and general manager, and R. E. Lopez, formerly prominently connected with the Greene company, are the leading men connected with the Sonora Bonanza organization and to them in the largest measure is due credit for the success thus Ear attained.

The week just closed does not bring cut any particular news CT informa- ton regarding the market, CT give us any hope for @ better market, the con- lnsweek. With bad band statement.
 big crops ahead of and heavy de mand for money, new fiotations, leaves one to believe that stock would nat uraIly hold their own. I was in hopes that I could get something definite regarding the allotment of the Canan- ca and Duluth stock pro rated for the C2nanea Central, but up to the present there has been nothing definite, and no great deal of trading has been in the stock, with sales ranging all the way from S4.25 to $4.O0 per share and at the close of the week had been offered freely at s4.00 The week brings out trading in a good stock that ought to be a good trader as well as an active one, the Cananea Gen. tral. This stock has already reached the Boston market and all principal trading places and stands well among traders. The stock was first dealt in at the Boston Exchange sales being made at s10 IS for very few shares, and sold as high as S12.25. Towards the close of the week, however, sales were made at s11.50. Many are of the opinion that Cananea Central will SC lower figures. This of course
 might be naturally expected, as there are many that are always willing to take very small profit, but on the other hand I certainly recommend this stock for good long pull and do not-see that there is a better invest ment on the board than Cananea Cen tral. It will be well to compare this
 property with the Greene Consolidat- ed. They are both capitalized for the same amount, that is 100000
 shares at S10.00 per share. Greene Con. has all her stock issued and now selling at S25.06 per share. The Can anea Central has but 600,000 shares issued. of which but $500 per
 share has been paid in. With the i strong directorship of the Cananea Central and their rank among the min ing industry and financial world, there | is no question that in less than two years time this stock. will be selling for more than Greene is at present. If you will remember when I got you in ! on North Butte that it stood around lthe $25.O0 mark for some little time,
 but when they got to work, you soon
 saw where the stock went to. If you buy Cananea Central take it and put lit away, let the market take it's course
 and in two years time I am sure that
 you will be much to the good. Supe

 On account of the delay in receiv- ing the new Corlss hoist which was ordered from the Aliis-C Chalmers peo- pie some time ago, and which was to have been shipped from Milwaukee on the 18th of May, the Shattuck was forced to borrow a hoist from the Junction. They will use this until their own hoist arrives. With the present equipment. 1000 mining cars of ore can be hoisted and dumped in the bins every 24 hours. The new steel head-frame is in position. The engine-room will be Femodeled, so as to make room for the new boilers i which is now on the ground. It will also be necessary to build an ex. tension to this building The new Sullivan compressor, is expected to arrive about the 1st Of October. On the level six stopes are be- ing opened up, and there is plenty of ore blocked out for shipping. On the 500 four stopes are being opened up. These two levels are the ones which will supply the Shattuck's ship ment to the smeiters for some time. On the eco several bodies of ore have been encountered, but not as large as on the other levels. The drift on this level is now in ledge matter.
