SLhyING OF PEST
GOES M6RRIbY ON
Five Hundred more Added to List Of Dead
Another Drive Today

Another successful rabbit drive took
place on last Tuesday, just south of
town. The people from miles around
met at the home Of j. j. Smith from
where the start was made. AS a re-
suit of the first drive, almost three
hundred of the bunnies were corraled-
besides a large number which were
killed before ever getting into the wire
corral. The second drive resultedin
corrallng more than a hundred more.
after a number were slain on the run.
A conservative estimate places the
number slaughtered at about five hum
dred. These together with the result
of the drive last Friday, rids the VAL
ley of mere than a thousand of the
hairy fellows.
Another drive is to occur lust north

The annual Manzano Day Picnic has
been announced for July 10 and 20, for
this year. Mr.. Corbett, who has been
active in arranging the past two cele-
brations at the ancient town, had abou;
decided to pass this year by, but num-
Der of the residents of the town and
vicinity of Manzano have expressed a
desire to have the picnic made a regu-
lar affair, and take delight in having
the people come to spend day with
them. So it has been decided to have
the picnic on Saturday, the 18th, under
the old trees and near the spring, and
on Sunday hold religious services under
the trees, near the ruins of Cuara Just
west of Punta de Aqua.
1t has been proposed to form an or
ganization and establish a regular time
for the annual outing at Manzano
The native people are taking more in
terest in the old trees and ruins, since
the first outing held there two years
ago, and are anxious that large num-
ber of the people, especially the more
recent settlers in the valley, should
spend a day with them. Our native
people in the mountains are not to be
outdone by any other class in hospital
ity, and better acquaintance with them
will prove that they are royal lot of
people,
The old trees now growing at Man
zano, cut of which we show on this
page, were found bearing fruit at the
advent of the native people generations
past The history of the trees has
been traced for at least one hundred
years and the size Of the trunks, to-

EL0PERS RETURN
and HRE FORGIVEN
Were Welded in Los Lunas where they Missed
the Parental kilograms

On last Sunday about eleven o'clock,
Misses Winnie Booth and May Cowley
and Clarence Lasater and Howard So
per, having secured rigs from the local
livery stables, started for drive. Not
returning in the evening the parents of
the young people began making ingui-
ries, which soon brought to light the
fact that the couples had eloped. Te-
legraphic messages were sent to Albu-
querque, Alamogordo and Santa Fe, to
the effect that the young people were
not of age, and should be refused license
to wed. The first authentic informa-
tion received from the runaways, was
when they were seen in Mountainair
by a correspondent of the News on
Sunday evening. Here they inquired
the way to Belen. Nothing more was
heard from them until last nighta post
card was received, mailed at Albuquer-
que, stating that they had been married
in Los Lunas.
This morning Miss Winnie, or rather
Mrs. Lasater called up her sister, Miss
Lena, over the phone from Mcintosh
and said that the whole party were there
and asked if her mother wanted to see
her. She also stated that Clarence
was afraid to return to Estancia. How
ever, all have been forgiven, at least
so far as the young Mr. and Mrs. Lasa-
ter are concerned. They will return,
the fatted calf will be slain, and grand
ball will be given for them.
The Alamogordo correspondent to the
ElPaso Herald got wind Of Mrs. Booth S
message to the Probate Clerk there,
and sent an article to that paper to the
effect that the couple were there and
had been refused a license This was q
fabrication in its entirety, as theyoung
folks were not near the Otero county
seat.

history.
The old cross on the hill (shown in
the cut) is said by some to mark the
location where stood for ages church

sect which practiced corporal Ia
ton as penitence for sin. The whip or

woven of the roots and stems of

with the cactus. In more recent years,
since the lechuga has become more
scarce, wire is used in the making of
the lsshes to take the place of the
tough lechuga. The flagallation is
usually done during Holy Week, espec-
tally on Good Friday. The bodies are
barred excepting a waist-cloth, and
each pen,t,nte lashes his back, until
he drops from sheer exhaustion caused
by the loss of blood.

They will be offered cashiers certi-

of that kind would take several
years to settle and it is a question in

PRODUCT OF
BULLION
In This State For Past
Quarter Shows Big
Advance

Up to September 80 of this year,
according to the reports in the hands
of James H. Nevin, State Bullion Tax
Collector the production of gold and
silver in the two banner counties OF
Esmeralda and Nye has been such as
to place the year 1907 in the front
among all the years that have pre-
ceded it recently in the production of
the precious metals.
In the first nine months of this
year the taxes paid on the net profits
in Esmeralda County amounted to
$197 .S40.33. For the quarter ending
September 80, 1907, the tax on the
Goldfield production alone amounted
to $60,48 This tax is based on a
tax rate of s420 per thousand dollars
of net profit.
In Tonopah for the last three
months ending September so, the tax
has been slG,S37S1 On the net out
put at the rate of s3.45 per hundred.
When it is remembered that the
mines in Esmeralda County have been
closed for more than 100 days in the
past nine months the importance Of
the report will be appreciated az
showing the real worth of the mines
in the Southern camp.
A detailed statement of the amount
received from Goldfeld for the last
