/" Yankees CQmingI I"

There has been a time when to some
the words yankees coming" meant
something serious. Now the words
mean good will toward all mankind.
Next Friday, Dec. 81, they will be here,
and we extend hearty welcome to
these old war heroes. They will find on
their arrival in Alamogordo many good
men who are also war heroes-those
who wore the gray-whO will gladly
welcome those who wore the blue, and
this shows that both, those who wore
the blIe and those who wore the gray
to be heroes still. Again we welcome
them, and may the bean bake he a sue
cess. and may their appetite for sshard
tack be as good as in the historical
days of the COS.
The supper will be held on the vacant
lot next to Messer's restaurant.

The speech of Grand Orator
Redfield, member of Great Bend
Lodge No. 10 A. F. & A. NJ, of
Great Bend, Kans., was a beau
tiful tribute to Free Masonry.
and in part is as follows:
Most Worshipful Deputy Grand Master,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Sincerely do regret my inability to
perform well the labor your kind par
tlality has invited me to undertake.
However, apologies and regrets are
alike useless, and can never add to the
value of an effort whether good or bad.
But l am assured, that the same broth
erly kindness that dictated your choice
will judge lenlentIy of my efforts on
this occasion.
1t was glorious spectacle, when the
King OF Israel dedicated the first Temple
to the worship and service of Jehovah.
Art had indeed triumphed, a structure
had risen upon Mount Morlah, whose
walls OF pure white reflected the gor
geous sunlight of Palestine, and shed
rich, yet mellow, glow upon the sur.
rounding hills. There was the costly
material from Labanon, from Tyre and
Elath, combined to beautify the inner
and the outer courts; those wonderful
proportions so nicely adjusted and fit

the architect, who laid the foundation.

out and within the hallowed place, the
assembled tribes had gathered to offer
their thanksgiving. But it was not
from any one of these, nor vet from all,
that the son OF David felt he had re-
ceived the inspiration with which he
spoke. These were material objects
alone, though types of holler and
higher dispensation. He looked away
from the scenes before him and in
prophetic vision caught glimpse of the
New Jerusalem, of which the Holy CITY
was the blessed emblem; he saw In the

Jackson" Street GRADING.

1t will be rememberd that during last
year the late A. P. jackson graveled
and graded 9th street at cost of $1,000.
At the time Of his death, Nov. 30, ult.,
he had just commenced to gravel this
street again, expecting to spend another
$1,000 on IL. We now note that this
work Is TO be carried out just as Mr..
jackson had planned. When Mr.. Jack
son died AlamOgOrdo lost one of her
most valued citizens. He was a pro-
gressive and liberal citizen and with
the means to carry out any Undertaking
for the betterment Of his town.

Busy Scenes.

Conditions at the site of the new
Sanatorium are indicative OF the rapid
rate at which these buildings will be
erected and ready for occupancy. J. p.
AMMAN, manager of construction, in a
talk with a reporter with the News,
stated that great activity was evident on
the grounds. as over ten teams and 90
men are engaged in grading, ten men
are clearing the adjacent ground and a
large force OF carpenters are now build
ing the camp house for the accommoda-
tion OF the large force OF mechanics who
will live there during the building OF the
Sanatoria. Car loads OF materials are
arriving daily and the scenes at the
tracks is busy one ard long lines Of
teams are constantly on the road TO and
from the site.

The north side sidewalk of 9th street
has been graveled as far up as Texas
avenue. This graveling was paid for
by private subscription by citizens along
that street, and was according to the
suggestion and wish of tho late A. p.
Jackson, and was carried out by Chas.
Z. Mitchell.

coLEMAN's MEXICAN VENTURE.
Former Utah Mining Man Goes
Through En- Route to Los Angeles.

Robert ]. Coleman, formerly manager
OF the Newhouse mining interests in
this state, but now manager OF the
Lluvla de ORC mine In the San Leandres
del Rio district, Chihuahua, Mexico.
passed through the city yesterday on
his way from the east to Los Angeles.
Mr.. Coleman succeeded II. Il. Carey
as manager OF this Mexican mine sew
eral months ago and preparations are
now we'll under way for the construc-
ton OF mill with capacity for the
treatment OF a large tonnage OF ore.
Development OF the mine began seri-
ously three years ago. when Il was
taken over under the option from Cara
Il Beccra, the Mexican owners, by tho
present company. OF which James
Campbell OF st. Louis Is president and
managing director. Harry Scullin. also
OF ST. Louis, Is vice president. and Il.
II, Yoakum, chairman Of the board OF
directors OF the Rock Island and ST.
Louis n san Francisco railroads, Fred
Edey OF New York and John Scullin
OF st. Louis are directors.
Three years have been devoted TO
opening and demonstrating ore bodies.
Ii is learned from Mr., Coleman that
the ore occurs in a series OF shoots In
limestone, which are very definite and
L.
placed them from 20 to so feet. Devel-
opment OF the vein has offered no prob
lens since the system OF faulting was
mace clear. The ore shoots are from
30 to 70 feet long on the strike, and
from rs to 20 feet wide, being more or
less square IN cross section.
Two great ore bodies have been opened
SO far 10 a depth OF 300 feet. The ton
mage exposed is probably sufficient to
Justify n mill of 100 tons daily capacity.
The two sets OF workings are TO be
connec ted by tunnel which Is expected
to reveal many ore shoots similar to
those described. The ores are very high
grade.
For the past IS months 20-stamp
mill has been in operation at the Fuerte
River, five miles away, on the richer
ores which have been packed down by
mule trains. To avoid building a tram
way. the company Is considering tho
installation Of the new mill at the mine.
Though the capacity and type have not
yet been fully decided II Is stated that
Il will be OF a size to handle. economic
ally, the entire mass OF ore which
averages uncommonly high grade when
the great tonnage liz considered. OF the
total values, 80 per cent are In gold.
the balance In silver.
For the next year development win be
confined TO the connection between the
two mines and TO further demonstrating
the two great ore shoots referred 10. II
Is expected that within that time the
new mill will be completed. This will
