hack's Shopping Experience.

"Hal Hal laughed the fat old gentle
man in the arm chair" that reminds
me Of an experience had a few weeks
ago. live in a small town when Of.
ten it is impossible to buy certain ar
ticles which | need in my electrical
business so | Just take the train for the
city, and between trains, make my
purchases. OF course my wife always
wants some knick-knack that no man
is supposed to know anything about,
but | am quite accommodating and try
my best to please her. On this particu.
lar day my lady wanted certain kind
Of button and after listening to de-
scription about thirty minutes long, |
thought knew exactly what she want
ed.
My train into the city was little
late and only lett me an hour and q
half TO make my purchases and get
back to the station. II seemed as
though | spent hours In selecting
those buttons and nearly everything
saw besides found its way into my al:
ready stuffed pockets and overload ed
arms. | must have closely resembled
st. Nicholas, without his rein deer on
Christmas eve.
At last, my shopping dore, ! boarded
q trolley car bound for the station.
Ny bundles and my avoirdupois occu.
pied so much space il is n wonder that
the conductor did not charge me two
fairs instead Of one.
All went we'll until I reached the sta
ton. As the car stopped l saw my
train pull into the depot and was de-
lighted to find that | would not have
to wait. Alas! for the slip 'twixt cup
and lip-just as | alighted from the car
| made mistep and sank in a heap
upon the pavement. My packages few
is every conceivable direction. Ny
temper rose higher and higher ard
reached its climax when | heard the
conductor Of my train call out in his
loudest accents, "All aboardl" Well,I
gathered my scattered belongings and
took them to an express office, where
! had them expressed home; then | sat
dnwn IN the W aiting room to wait an
hour for the next train. Ha! Hal and
! didn't buy the right buttons after
all! Ho! Ho! Hol NJ. L. S.

GRAPHIC
LOCAL AND PERSONAL
FARMERS ARE
ORGANIZING
Hold Enthusiastic Meeting
to Unite Their
Forces.

lnTOuSn tue courtesy OI the
secretary of the Adelphi Club,
quite a large gathering of rep
resentative farmers and profess
sional men of this community
assembled at the club rooms last
Saturday afternoon and laid the
foundation for a Truck Growers
Association.
Mr.. B. P. Shull's name was
placed before the house as tenn
porary chairman and he was
unanimously chosen. Mr.. E. L.
Atkins was elected secretary.
Mr.. Ramsey made a short but
spirited talk on the necessity of
organization. S. P. Miller urged
organization and a committee to
look after freight rates. Judge
c. C. Fielder urged that steps
be taken at once to perfect per-
manent organization. Judge
Chapman said many good things
and scored the point that we
must adopt the dry system of
farming to make a success of
farming in this country. Chair
man Shull made an interesting
talk and told how truck grow
ers organized in the Arkansas
valley of western Kansas and
made the melon industry profit
able; also urged that the grow
ing of seeds to sell to large seed
houses be established. Mr.. Shull
brought out in his talk the his
torical fact that at Deming some
fifteen years ago was born the
great irrigation movement that
has spread over the entire South
west and eliminated in the Ma.
tional Irrigation Congress that
is to be held at Albuquerque this
fall, yet the people of Deming
today know less of irrigation
than any other section of the
territory. Mr.. McCan told how
the buyers of the East are seek
ing new cantalOuple territory; of
their offer of seed and men to
plant and superintendent the
planting Of melons in any place
in Southwest New Mexico that
will agree to put out as much as
300 acres, guaranteeing good
prices for same.
1t was moved and seconded
that the house enter into a per-
manent organization. The mo-
ton carried and Mr.. S. P. Miller
was elected chairman and E. L.
Atkins, secretary.
Following committees were APP
pointed. On Bylaws and 0rga-

J. B. Hayes, General Foreman Of 9.

w. s., we're in Deming quite recently
making plans and estimates for a
number Of improvements in the water
service and fire protection.
Mr.. T. A. Carr reports n very enjoy.
able time while attending the G. A. r.
Encampment at Albuquerque, having
met many old comrades and friends,
and blushingly admits that the Merry
Widow hats OF that city from a point
Of gorgeous splendor bear a striking
resemblance to the Santa Fe round
house.
The old adage, "they burned their
bridges behind them," was illustrated
near Whitewater Tuesday, and caused
the Roadmaster and track force all
kinds OF inconvenience to build tenn
porary crossing until the construction
train could arrive.
The passenger train being on the
other side Of the trouble remained at
Silver City, when the Highland train
was pressed into service and reached
Demine about midnight.
To meet the demand for motive
power during the stock shipping season
bring all the available engines Of the
300 class into active service. To re-
lieve the No. 1856 on the Silver City
run small engine with q big number.
one that has seen many years and the
mileS to its credit, are legions arrived.
II was with doubt and hesitation that
the crew lined up the train consisting
Of eight cars. The switch engine, con-
tending that a good beginning was
half the battle, Joined as a pusher,
When all was ready the signal was
given and Kissing steam, grinding
wheels, screeching whistles aud chang.
ing bells caused the village to sit up and
take notice. Many theories were out
lined as to the cause OF this unusual
stir. The one moot plausible was that
il was for the community's good that
this train was escorted TO and we'll be-
yond the city limits but be that as il
may when they passed through Whitney
they had reached momentum Of more
than four miles an hour. The engines
at the roundhouse returned the salute
and with shouts of laughter and wav-
ing hats 1t was plain to be seen that
the trainmen and every one along the
line were having just barrels Of fun.

and j. s. Henderson, secretary. The
board of directors, Is in number and
who are among the most substantial

towns, remains as before, and also the
executive committee Of 5; but the ac-
tive management of the concern passes
into the hands of Messrs. Manning and
Henderson. Beside being an expert
enced and successful business man,
with a training peculiarly fitting him
for such a position, Nh. Manning has
strong business connections in various
parts of the country, and he will
strengthen the growing business OF the

ways.
The splendid quarters of the Regis
tration Trust company are in every
way fitting the Importance and dignity
of such an institution. The main room
is devoted to the counting room and
private consultation rooms, fitted up
for the convenience of their customers,
and can be used for the meeting of

doing it. A hoist is on the way in to

LEASER AT HART STRIKES
HIGH GRADE AT IS FEET

Lots are rising in value with a steady
and persistent demand. Two were sold
yesterday for $500 each which are now
held at much higher figures. The Salt
Lake road has started work on the
auto-stage line from Leestalk, and the
section gang on the Santa Fe is busy
putting in the new siding at Hit,
where a freight house will be built at
once.
There are over fifty claims working
now, most of them running two or
three shifts.
j. B. Flanagan has nearly completed
the new home of the Hart Enterprise,
a bright and reliable weekly paper,
and has the press foundation ready.
Barring accidents the paper will issue
from its new home next Saturday.
New restaurants, loding houses, and
stores are going up on the main street.
c. F. Sloan is building a 3Ox70 house
on the corner of Main and Foster which
will be used by a saloon and general
store, while further up the street, Whit
taker & Co. are building for another
general merchandise store. The gen.
eral trend of the business section is
west, while the hills on the north and
east are being selected for residences.
There are at present over a dozen
FAMILIES of owners, leasers and bust
ness men, in town and there is already
talk of a Ladies' Society. Mr. Rock
well OF Tonopah came into camp last
week and promised to return with q
drug store within a few days.
All of the claims are giving encour-
agement and there are few idle men in
camp.
Four claims comprised in the Fair
view and Providence properties, have
been incorporated as The Hart Con-
solidated Mining company, capital

on Fairview is in SIS feet with their tun-
mel and will drive so feet more for the
ledge which showed big values on the
surface.
Hart and Hits Foothill and Foot
mill No. !, were closely prospected this
week by Bert and Clark Hit, with the
result that a ledge showing plainly Tor
l,5OO feet was located, and for $50 feel
the paintings were estimated at from
so to $25, on the surface, while at one
point they ran to about $75. Bert hiu
knocked off a sample from the ledge

ground which showed free gold.

Hart, Cal, April 9.-The second big
strike on the Sloan lease, on Jumbo,
owned by the Quartette Mining COM
pany, of S~earchlight, New, has made
the camp sit up. At a depth of IS feet,
Sloan ran into rich high grade last
Monday, and three days later, the
ledge widened and grew richer. Now
the shaft is down about AZ feet and the
entire bottom is in high grade ore,
which shows free gold fairly plastered
over some of the samples. The ore is
being sacked as fast as it is sent to
the surface by the three shifts that
are working, and there is already about
$50 sacks at the mouth of the shaft.
There are no signs of the ledge lessen
ing either in size or values and there
is as a result renewed impetus in all
the workings Of the camp.
Superintendent Hall of the Jumbo
proper, has his big hoist on the ground
and three shifts are sinking the main
shaft, while half a dozen men are
working on the surface. Mr.. Hall is
building a new road to Searchlight
from Hart, wei which he will haul
ore to the Quartette mills. This road
runs around the hills to the south and
east, and will make the entire distance
something less than fourteen miles.
Teams and men are being engaged and
it is believed hat within ten days, ore
will be going out of Hart to Search
light. Sloan will probably follow with
shipments a day or two later, unless
he concludes to rush what he has al
ready sacked.
With these shipments Hart will show
the mining world that she has been
nothing if not conservative when this
town was declared to be the site of one
of the best milling propositions in the
west.
Another 100000 sale was made this
week when w. B. Andrews and G. A.
Marsh, of the local firm of Andrews
& Marsh, bought Orc Belle and Orc
Belle Fraction, from Hart and Hit,
for that amount and made the first
payment. These properties will be in
eorporated this week as the Orc Belle
Mines company, and most of the stock
is said to have been already taken up
by capitalists in Duluth, MINI. There
are four leasers on the property all
working in good ore, and the claims
themselves are situated in the center
of the district which has so far been
most developed and consequently shown
the highest values.
Building is rushing, and the several
contractors have more orders than they
can fill, and there are several cars of
lumber ordered to meet the demand.
