THINKS" AND COMMENT

Don't be afraid of work. The
sturdy, Woodworking men make our
country great. One of the great
evils is the anxiety of young men to
get to the front too rapidly Life is
not a gamble, and desirable success
cannot be won by the turn of card.

ALL MEN IN Mines
PROBABLY dead NOW

Charleston. w Va, Jan. 3l.-Tne
mangled and dismembered bodies of at
least thirty of the eighty or more vic
tins of Tuesdays disaster in the
Stuart mine near Thurmond. w. Va,
were piled about the foot of the shaft
when the rescuing party reached the
mine level last evening On account
of the broken cage it was impossible
to remove them at that time. Instant
death appears to have overcome all of
the miners and a thorough investiga-
tion will be necessary to determine the
exact cause of the disaster. That none
of the ninety men who were in the
mine when the disaster occurred escap-
ed death now seems certain.

No Chance For Martinez Bill.

In III" southern part of th" territory
The bill provides that cattlr. sheep.

The injustice Of such a bill Is a. once
apparent In S0corro count, for in

both cattle and sheep are owned ty
Albuquerque people who are not resi-
dents Of the county. Under these con
ditions all the live stock belonging TO
non-residents of Socorro county, would
be assessed for the benefit of some
other county and would ruin Socorro
county financially. The bill provides
a penalty of removal from office of any
assessor who does assess such live
stock. The bill will probably be killed
