RIVERA RECOVERS
 WITH BULLET IN HEAD
From Sundays Daily.)


 With bullet inbedded in his skull over seven weeks ago and after pass ing through one critical stage after another since receiving the wound, JI M. Rivera will eventually recover and be a well man, was the state ment made yesterday by his attending physician. This case has attracted probably more attention and occasion ed more professional interest than any other in recent years that has come before the medical fraternity. At the time of being shot with a % .calibre bullet, Mr Rivera was in his tent house on the old baseball grounds in the northwestern part of the city sitting in a chair. The bullet came crashing through the canvas and lodged in the top of his head, going direct through III a vertical line for over three inches. After he was wounded, he sank to the floor, and since that time has wavered between life and death. For several days afterward ne was in an unconscious condition and it was with difficulty that he partOOk of food to sustain life. Later he regained his mental faculties. when paralysis of the right side followed. In this condition he gave symptoms of the end approach ing and it was believed that death

the siege of Juarez and all are wait ing in eager expectation of hearing the first shot ring out. In consequence of the great rush, the streets of Fl PasO present the animated life of a wild western boom raging over the discovery of a bonanza mine. Hotels lodging houses, public places and all other institutions that care for the transient, are reaping a financial har- vest, which will not abate until the Juarez incident is settled one way or the other. To keep the interest of the people at fever heat, reports of battle across the river starting are in circulation daily, which intensifes the situation and makes the appetite of the gore hungry all the more keen and vOraciOus.
 While the loss to smelting and mer- cantile interests in Fl PasO has been heavy since the insurrectiOn got un- der full swing. the revenue derived from travel will even up the balance sheet. He states that he will leave for the east in few days and defer his trip inland until, the atmosphere is relieved of its hay hue.
 It is Mr. TOmlinsOn $ opinion that in about thirty days the situation may be cleared so that Americans can go in to look after their inter ests and ne will wait until the OppOr- tune time arrives before following the others in that mission

with 2 tons of forage, per acre.
The peanut vines after the removal
of all the first-class peas, have a feed
ing value practically equal to the cost
of the field culture of the crop. An
acre of first-class peanuts, calculat-
ing the yield at a ton of vines, worth
from IS to $40 and 60 bushels of peas,
worth $40 to $50, will give an income
of $4S to $40. The cost of growing
an acre of peanuts is variously esti-
mated at $12 to $25, including seed
and fertilizers. These figures show a
net return of $36 to $45, which is
