OROGRANDE WILL HAVE PLACER
 PLANT
Machinery for 400 Ton Mill. Received by Electric Mining and Milling Company-NO
 Delay in Work,
(Orogrande Times.)

NOTOSFaHuG IlnSS.B
 The Electric Mining and Milling company have received a carload of placer machinery and will begin the erection of a 450-ton mill on their grounds near the reSer TUir at once. The car arrived Sunday and consists of elevators, disintegrators ahl other placer and milling machinery. The company will common ,e work right away and hope to have everything running at full blast by September. They are now waiting for a car of lumber which is expected to arrive some time this week from the mills at Alamogordo.
 The Electric company has 120 acres of perhaps the best placer grounds in the camp and from pannings so far made it is believed that dirt will aver age about four dollars per cubic yard in placer gold. They have already handled over 2,200 cubic yards that has made this average, some Of it carrying as high as S200 to the cubic yard. The ground has been thorough ly tested and shows that there is at least a half million cubic yeards of good pay dirt to the Electric com pany's claim that can be handled to good advantage. Traces of the gold show from a depth of twenty feet on the upper edge of the property to as deep as 150 feet in some places fur ther down the gulch.
 Work will be commenced at the west line of the Electric company's property up the gulch, and the chan nel followed down to the east side for considerable distance as the segrega- tion of the gold washed down from the hills seems to be heaviest along this route. Many other channels will in all probability be discovered and the leads Allowed up, as traces of the gold deposits have been found all over the valley and for half mile out on the plain.
 The water from the Lucky shaft will be utilized by means of a four inch pipe line which will be built through the tunnel in the Lucky hill. This pipe line will be over a mile and halft long and will have a drop of about 150 feet, furnishing a good pres sure for the placer operations. About 50,000 gallons of this water a day will be used at the start and the capacity of the mill will be increased as soon as more water can be obtained from the mines.
 The scarcity of water has been the most serious proposition the Electric and other placer companies have had to face, and has held back develop . ment along this line heretofore, but it is now believed that the deep shafts of the various mines are reaching the water level it will soon be possible to obtain plenty fo< all purposes. Most of the water which has so far been struck in the Lucky and other shafts is so heavily impregnated with soda and other minerals that it is unfit for general purposes and for that reason the placer companies are enabled to use it at very small cost.
 The plant to be built by the Flee tric company will be equipped with all the most improved milling machin. cry and will handle approximately 5000 cubic yards of the dirt a day. About ten or twelve men will be em- ployed at the mill and in sluicing out out the ground.

TRAINMAsTER ROE

Trainmaster W. G. Roe of the east ern division of the Fl Paso and South western is doing everything possible to improve the train service of the Southwestern and he has a grasp on the situation that is sure to result in giving Fl Paso the best train accom- modations of any city in the west.

INDIANS Will TEST
THEIR RIGHTS IN COURT
Claim They Have Same Privilege as Othel
American Citizens

Arguments in test case Involving
the rights Of an Indian citizen to sell
and dispose Of his property in any
way he may see fit were begun in
Judge Townsend's court at Ardmore
yesterday The question at stake is
the right Of the government to issue
suits in the name Of Indians to can
eel leases without the consent Of the
Indians because Of inadequacy Of con-
sideration. The validity Of the gov
ernment action is being questioned on
constitutional grounds. About TWEEN
ty-fve cases are involved.
The government is proceeding
under the provisions Of an act Of
congress Of March 3, 1905, permitting
investigations being made By the IN
terror department and authorizing the
attorney general TO institute suits for
cancellation where inadequacy Of
consideration or fraud may be shown.
The Indians who have made their
appearance in these cases AL insist
that they are citizens Of the United
States and as such are no longer
wards Of the nation and that the gov.
ernment has no right to interfere in
the premises. They are satisfied with
the contracts they have made for the
lease Of their lands and are anxious
that the gass instituted BY the gov
eminent be dismissed. They contend
In short the indians claim all the
privileges, rights and immunities Of
other citizens Of the United States

tute and file suits at law and equity

Information Wanted.

Mr.. Editor-"Please inform me
of the origin of the word hobo
and how it happened to be first
used"
We are unable to find any in
formation in the dictionary or in
.cyclopedia relating to this word.
1t probably has been in use many
centuries, and perhaps originated
in this way: When hoes were the
principal implement for tilling the
soil, no doubt there were more or
less lazy men who detested doing
the hard toll. Hoes were rather
crude affairs, and it took black
smith about a day to hammer and
shape one of them. The lazy per-
sons, on an exceptionally hot day,
were in the habit Of breaking their

these men were called hoe breakers.
and were not wanted by the thrifty
yeomenry. From hoe breakers to
hobo is an easy transition, and it
is likely that this is how the word
originated. However, If any of
our readers can throw additional
light on this subject, we would be
glad to hear from them.

the lucky ones that got a

of the "Muldoon" type, and it was

him.
