NAVAJOS SLAUGHTER DEER
Dozen Braves Brought to Socorro
Yesterday and Lodged in Coun-
ty Jail.

Eleven bucks and one Squaw
from the Navajo reservation near
Alamillo were brought to SOcor-
70 yesterday and lodged in the
county Jail for violation of the
game law, They had about
eighty deer skins, a quantity of
venison, and other evidences of
their slaughter of game packed
on sixteen ponies and half as
many burros. They killed the
game over at the north end OF
the Black Range and were ar
rested near old Fort Caliente,
about sixty miles southwest of
Magdalena, by Forest Ranger
Thos. Werner of the north Gila
forest, assisted by ID. B. SorrelS,
A. ID. Mcdonald, and b. 7. Cox.
When the cavalcade reached
Magdalena, Lieutenant h. w.
Lewis of the mounted police was
sent for. Lieutenant Bob re-
sponded at once and escorted the
party to Socorro, where he de-
livered the prisoners at the
county Jail. They have hear

NO FINANCIAL FURRY HERE
At Least II Does Not Appear TO
Have Disturbed socorro County
3tockmen.

]. w. Cox, one of Socorro
county's we'll known stock raisers,
drove 146 head of fine cattle
overland this week from his
Datil ranch to Albuquerque. All
were Herefords between two and
three years old. i've got 1000
more Of them on my ranch, "
said Mr.. Cox to a press repre-
sentative. The trip overland was
a successful one, and the cattle
are all in good shape. In fact
stock conditions were never bet
ter. The range is good and the
cattle exceptionally healthy and
fat"
The financial furry that is so
much talked about as having
caused such a hubbub on Wall
street has evidently not touched
Socorro county stockmen. They
may have read or heard that
there has just been a financial
disturbance somewhere, but that
is their only evidence. Their
only trouble is to get cars to
carry their stock to market.
And when the railroads can't
get cars enough to handle their
business, that doesn't look much
like panic either. In fact, any
talk to a Socorro county stock
raiser about a financial panic
would probably affect him no
more than to cause him to smile.

or eight years and every loot OF
it has been a paying investment
from the start.
In relation to the mines in the
territory, the New Mexican has
been unable to secure any official
information as yet. The matter
has been taken up and as soon as
something on this important sub
ject has been secured it will then
be furnished. Mining has all
ways been an important indus
try in the territory and more
progress may be shown along
this line than any other. The
mountains of New Mexico
abound in minerals in almost
every section of the territory
from the coal mines of the north
and east to the copper, silver,
lead and gold mines of the west
and south.
LARGE INCREASE IN TAXABLE
PROPERTY AND POPULATION.
AS an index to the financial
growth of the territory, figures
have been compiled from the Of
fetal tax returns for the last two
fiscal years and show that in 1906
the amount subject TO taxation
less all exemptions was SAB, 3,242,-
746.31, while in 1907 under the
same conditions it was S4S, 509,-
098.26, showing a net increase in
property of taxable value of
SIS, Zoo, ,350.95. These figures are
based as stated above, on the
net amount returned for taxation.
which will be understood, is in
this Territory much as elsewhere
perhaps only thirty per cent of
the value of the properties.
In population, the territory
has made the greatest strides.
From a carefully compiled re-
port of the homestead entries
for the last twenty months it
will be shown that within the
boundaries of New Mexico there
have been filed over 10000 orig
inal homestead applications.
These 10000 homeSteads figured
at a conservative estimate of 5
persons the family, would mean
an influx of over 100000 people
in that space of time. These
figures are absolutely reliable as
they are taken from the official
records of the United States
land Offices in the territory and
cover the period from January
1st., 1906, to October 3lst,, 1907.
In the period from January 1st,
1900, to January /, 1906, the ter
ritory had at least this number
more, making the addition to
population from this source alone
since the census Of 1900 at least
two hundred thousand people.
Another point is that these
immigrants are all settlers from
the oldest states and territories
and OF course native born Amer
ican, English-speaking people,
making the population of Eng
lish speaking people today, eX-
elusive of those included in the
previous enumeration above re-
ferred to, more than the total
population at that time.

Capt. M. CooneY returned
home Monday morning from a
business trip to Mogollon. The
captain tells of a rather strenu-
Gus automobile ride from Silver
City to his destination and re-
turn. In the first place, the buzz
wagon was too light to carry its
load up the worst hills, so it was
necessary to get out and push.
Then there was a breakdown
which caused a delay of three
hours on the road. And, final
ly, there was an explosion OF
naptha that burned the chauf-
feur's hands badly and ruined
the upholstery and some other
inflammable parts of the car. 1t
might be added that when Cap
tain Cooney reached San Marcial
on his way home a deputy sher-
iff asked him to take charge of a
prisoner accused of misappro-
priating a horse and deliver him
at the county Jail. All that was
certainly entertainment enough
for one trio, and the captain
really has the air of man who
is glad to get home.

We will put you on. When you have a million dollar bills and pile them on top of one another, and you want to Jake off the rop one, you will have to reach 267 feet. If you lay them down, end to end, you will have to walk Il and three-fourth miles. If you had the amount in silver dollars, the pile would be IF miles high. And so on.

Every American citizen has the right to be protected in his efforts to earn an honest livelihood. No man or com bination of men should nave the pow CT to prevent him from following his voration even by intimidation, for he may have not only himself but wife and children for whom to provide. It is my opinion that the honest laborer who is willing to do work which IS proper and in To way conflicts with the interests of the community, should be gjyen the opportunity to perform u and to have the same protection from tSe authorities which is extended to any peaceful citizen, no matter no" powerful CT influential may be the per son or society which opposes him.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. To- Before
a brilliant assemblage OF his old com
rades in arms, Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci was today placed on trial to answer
with his life and reputation for the loss
of Port Arthur on January |. 1905, and
in firm tones and with quiet manner the
general pleaded mot guilty" to the
charge of needlessly surrendering the
fortress, and thereby humilating the
Russian army.
Generals Stoessel, Foek and Reiss
turned their defense on charges OF
eowardice today into furious attack
on the war ministry.
Denying their guilt the accused Rus
sian generals say the fortress at Port
Arthur was 50 poorly equipped and under
provisioned that effective defense was
rendered impossible.
As tribute to the war ministry the
accused officers openly assert that they
believe the conditions named were less
due to incompetency than to corruption.
The court apparently showed preju-
dice in depri,mg him Of two witnesses
whom he asked for and who at the
previous trial testified in his favor. 1t
is generally understood that Stoessel
has in his possession weapon in the
shape of telegram from the Emperor
which is alleged to say: Don't push
the defense to extremities," meaning by
this to spare the lives of the Russian
soldiers when the power Of resistance
was exhausted.
