 The committee on rules reported it, responded MT. Dalzell.
 "Oh," draw1ed out Mir. Mann, "the committee on rules cannot make every thing" and he added that in his opin- ion the committee on rules had nothing to do with the proposition anyway, as it directed an investigation and did not relate to the organization of the House.
 Speaker Cannon sustained Mr. Mann, who suggested to MT. Dalzell that he should not object to unanimous con- sent.
 T won't ask for it." replied MT. Dal- zell, with a show of petulance, MT. Dalzell insisted that the matter was privileged because 1t was a report from a committee, but the speaker adhered to his first ruling.
 MT. Williams of Mississippi sought 'o secure unanimous consent for the con- sideration of the resolution, but at the suggestion of MT. Dalzell it was re- committed.

THE WORK WILL SOON BEGIN
Contracts Let for Grading 100 Miles
of Columbus Colorado and Mex
leo Railroad Line.

The FL Paso Herald of recent
date contained the following con-
cerning the beginning of work
on a line of railroad that will de-
velop a wonderfully rich section
of Western Socorro county:
1T is probable that within the
next fifteen days the grading
contract for $50 miles of the
Columbus, Colorado and Mexico
railroad will be let.
This announcer ment was
made this morning by A. ..
Bailey, president of the company.
Mr.. Bailey said the preliminary
surveys have all been made and
the surveyors are pushing work
on the locating survey as rapid
ly as possible with view of hav-
ing it ready for the letting OF
the contract early in May.
The contracts for the rails
and ties have already been let, so
only the grading remains to be
done. The contract Tor this will
cover the proposed line from Col
umbuS, n. M, to the Mogollon
district in New Mexico, and later
a branch from Tyrone to Silver
City is contemplated provided
satisfactory arrangements for its
construction are made.
MIR. Bailey said this morning
that the road will penetrate the
richest underbrush section in the
United States, containing bill
lions of tons of high grade coal,
the largest undeveloped forest ot
pine and spruce in the south
west, and enormous supplies OF
copper and other ores, all of
which are yet virgin because OF
lack of transportation facilities.
When the road is built to the
Mogollons, FL PaSo will have di-
rect communication with that
section, and the coal, ores, lum-
Der, etc, will be so easily sent
here that the prices on fuel and
lumber will be greatly reduced.
Mr.. Bailey says that the road
will open up a section which, be-
cause of its immense iron and
coke supplies, will become the
greatest steel manufacturing CEN
ter west of Pittsburg.
The company is composed al
most exclusively of citizens of
FL PaSo."

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
Stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, denf-
ness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
Caused by catarrh) that cannot

FERD BOECKELER & COMPANY
Suit Brought by socorro Firms to
Recover from the Late Abscond-
ing Firm.

Wednesdays issue of the Albu-
querque Jonrnal contained an ar
ticle that will arouse painful
recollections in Socorro, as fol-
lows:
Judge Ira A. Abbott yesterday
commenced hearing testimony in
the case of LoewenStein Broth
ers, of Socorro, versus Ignaz
Boeckeler and Agnes Boeckeler,
also of Socorro. The plaintiffs
allege that the firm of Ferdin-
and Boeckeler & Co., of Socorro,
are indebted to them to the
amount of $l,2SO, and allege
that the defendants, Ignaz and
Agnes Boeckeler, are members of
the Ferdinand Boeckeler COM
pany. This allegation is denied
by the defendants. Ignaz Boeck-
eler had 81 900 deposited in the
State National bank of this city,
which amount was attached by
the plaintiffs, alleging that it
was money belonging to the
Boeckeler company and was due
Loewensteins. The defense al
leges that this money was the
personal property of the defend
ants, and further allege that they
are not members of the Boeckel-
er company. II. NJ. Dougherty,
of Socorro, and A. b. Stroup are
attorneys for the plaintiff, and
A. Staab is representing the de-
PENDANTS.

RICH STRIKE AT M0G0LL0N
The Top Mine Yields Ore That
Runs as High as 50, 900 Per
Ton.

The Silver City Enterprise of
this week contains an account of
a rich strike in the Mogollon dis
trict as follows:
"One of the first indications
that the predictions which have
all along been made that the
Top mine at Mogollou would be-
come one OF the richest gold pro-
ducing mines of New Mexico
was verified last week when in
running a drift in the direction
of the Last Chance mine at
depth of about $50 feet a streak
of ore varying from two to three
inches in width was encountered
which runs all the way from
81 200 to So, 900 per ton, the aver
age value of the entire drift
being not less than $500.
Some fine specimens from this
rich strike are now in the possess
sion of Eugene CoSgrove of this
city. Free gold can be easily
detected by the naked eye in
some of the specimens, while
others, which have been partial
ly roasted, show large globules
of silver protruding from every
portion of the specimen. AS a
result of this strike the iudica-
tions are that it wont be long
until the Top mine is sacking
and shipping ore which will have
an average value in gold aud
silver of 1000 per ton"
