regard to securing rights Of way for the pro-
posed Magnolia avenue Extension, Mayor Evans

SHOWING OF OIL
CREATES EXCITEMENT

CREATES EXCITEMENT.
At a depth of about 1900 feet, a
good showing of oil was found in the
Hagerman prospect we'll at Headquar-
tiers ranch, twenty miles east of Ros-
well the latter part of last week.. The
showing amounts to about a quart on
every bail-ful that comes out of the
hole. While his is merely a sign of
good things that nay come later, ma
ny people have gotten greatly excit-
ed over it and are filing on all land
in that vicinity.
1t is stated that a big tract of land
that vas filed on last May, June and
September by Roswell parties is be
ing relied on by other citizens; and
the riwaltry Is becoming intense. The
belief of the second parties is, of
course, that the first filing has expir-
ed under the three months rule. But
the older ones claim that they have
rear after the January L, follow
ing their filing, in which to do the
work on the claim. Those having the
first claim on the land will, according
to the latter opinion, have until Janu-
airy 1, 1910 in which to do their work.
The older crowd of locators make
their contention dispute the opinion

is right in the matter, and to confirm
his belief, consulted the chief attor-
ney of the department, who ruled in
accord with him and marked the fol
lowing section of the U. S. Mining
Laws to show what he based his rul-
ing upon as follows:
Omitted States Mining Laws and
Regulations Hereunder. Approved
December IS, 1903. Page 10. Sec.
{, 324 of the Revised Statutes of The
United States amended by adding the
following words: Provided, that me

patented mineral claims shall COM
mence on the first day of January sue
ceeding the date of location Of such
claim, and this section shall apply to
all claims located since the tenth
day of may, ammo Domini, 1872"
This publication of the law is given
as a warning to the public to save
them the expense OF making useless
filings.

warning.
To the Public:-
The Fire Department of the City OF
Roswell, as well as the citizens, have
been annoyed a number of times re
Gently by parties turning in false"
fire alarms. This habit, it is well for
those who are disposed to cultivate 1t,
should be checked. City authorities
have about reached the limit of pa
tience and sever penalties IF ordi-
nances will be enforced if such acts
are repeated. Let this be sufficient
to those who are disposed to annoy
in this way.
You are further notified that the
city police department has been a
thorized and instructed to arrest any
persons, not connected with the fire
department, b nay be found after
the alarm has beer given, anywhere
upon the sidewalk OF the drive on
Third Street east Of the alley be-
tween Main Street and Pecos Avenue
in the vicinity of the engine house
and upon the south side of said Third
Street. 1t is the habit of some peo-
pie to rush to the engine house after
the alarm has been given AMI inter-
fere with the operations of the fire
company. You are notified that this
must be stopped. You do not assist
or help,-you simply delay, and you
have no business there and must not
be found there unless o have been
invited to assist by the chief of the
fire department or his assistant. This
will be strictly enforced and it means
who is in the habit of hang
ing around the engine house or going
there after the alarm of fire has Deen
given. There will be no exceptions
to the rule. You must keep out.
You are further warned that when
the alarm of fire is given that every
possible ~hindrance to the movement
of the fire department must be remov-
ed from the street. People are in the
habit of crowding upon the crossings
and sometimes ever driving in places
where they are aware that the engine
and hose wagon are likely to appear,
regardless of h alarm which they
have heard. The city will not be re-
sponsible for any one getting nIrt un-
der the circumstances and you should
not care, and ought not want to jeo-
pardize the lives OF the volunJeer ire
men of this city. and IL you are good
citizens you will be more careful n
give them g opportunity to oper-
ate the machinery of the fire depart
ment with speed and safety. This is
your duty. I have watched the opera
tons of the fire department and its
movements in the city after alarms of
fire have been given, for a number of
years and l am sure / have never wit
messed as great carelessness, IN the
part OF the public, anywhere as at
Roswell, and 1t is due time that the
citizens should take warning n that
the fathers and mothers of the city
should see that their children are not
in places where they should not be OF
occasions of this kind.
hope this will suffice to at least
call attention of some people to the
recklessness that some of our citizens
exercise towards the Roswell Fire De
partment.
Respectfully, submitted,

Mayor of the City of Roswell.
