Rich Gold Strike ~
iii Near Ute Park

Unless present indications and
the opinions of mining experts are
all wrong, the Ration Mining and
Milling company will begiH> al
once and continue to make regular
shipments of high grade ore. The
men who are backing the PROPOSE.
tiou are elated over their success.
Within the past few days the COM
pany has secured longtime leases
on several properties lying next
the Mountain Witch claim a few
miles from Ute Park, which is own
ed by the corporation. Arrange
ments have heen made with for the
use OF stamp mill and cyanide
process. These will be utilized
unfit the company has completed
the erection OF its own mill, which
will be begun in the near future.
The company has done extensive
prospecting on the Mountain Witch
and has struck a vein of rich gold
ore two feet in width which widens
with depth. A tunnel has been
driven into the mountain and a
shaft will be sunk at once The
company has on exhibition a retorts
worth sa5o which officials Of the
corporation say was taken from
ten tons OF ore. The Mountain
Witch is not a new claim but was
not developed until recently when
ben Williams of Las Vegas, went
TO work there with gang OF miners

Plenty Of Fire 10
n 4 Water for City

The Cook-Gregory Construc-
ton Coz Of Joplin, Mo-, has al
most completed the work of con-
struetion on the new waterworks
system for Cimarron. Water con-
necions with houses throughout
the city are being made as fast as
possible and twill be only a short
time until almost every building in
side the city limits will have an
abundance of pure mountain water.
The water is brought to town,
through eight miles of steel bound
pipe, from the Cimarroncito and is
as clear and pure as it
can be. The fall from the intake
at the foot of the hills to the city is
1900 feet. and from the reservoir
near town it has a fall of gao feet,
giving an immense pressure. A
test of of the pressure shows it to
be Ioc pounds.
The city has twenty-one FIRE
Ihydrants and the Continental Tie
& Lumber Company have ten,
making thirty-one hydrants in town
With that number Of hydrants and
the pressure the water has Cimar-
ron can boast OF having the best
FIRE protection Of any town in the
Territory. The city has recently
purchased /, 600 feet Of hose which
is sufficient for the present.
Work on the system started Ian
uary roth. Sixteen thousand feet
OF the trench was dug by hand, a
ditching machine used for the re-
mainder. The entire system will
cost s45, 900.
The laying OF the pipe has been
done under the direction of James
Mcmillan and C. F. Phillips, resi-
dent engineer for the waterworks
company. Mr.. Mcmillan has had
many years experience in such
work and understands the business
thoroughly. Mr.. Phillips is g
FIRST class engineer and has looked
after the interest of the water com
pany in a manner that shows they
were fortunate in securing his ser
vices.
The company has a well equip
ped Office building in which az

II. Webster, Jr., and F. II. Alper

Eastern New Mexico
Has Come Back =

The situation in the plains country can
be no better expressed than by the CORES
pondent of this paper in Melrose. who says
that eastern New Mexico has demonstra-
ted that she can come back" There 10
no longer room for an iota Of doubt that
she has come back" Real mud is maxi
ing the roads difficult to travel around
Mountainair. at Clovis the rain and hail
broke windows and demolished hOmestead-
ers' cabins; It has rained at Las Vegas and
Sapta Rosa and Texico and Las Cruces
and Roswell and Carlsbad: rains which
have not been equalled in FIVE years. The
cup Of plenty should be full and running
over in eastern New Mexico this year. aud
there is every ground for the belief that
New Mexicos farmers are going to get a
start this year which will keep them going
for years to come. There is no exaggeFat-
ing the importance of these rains, and in
fact the average city man can form no ade-
quaie idea at all OF what the showers mean
to the thousands OF acres of farming land
in the east half Of the territory.
Statehood, or no statehood. nothing is
going 10 keep New Mexico back this year

the enthusiasm Of the empire builder has

Henry G. Emery, Chairman Of
the Tariff Board. promises that a
report laid before President Taft for
transmission to Congress within
the next week. Mr.. Emery says
that the Board made no prepara-
ton for an extra session Of Con-
grers and will therefore be unable
to report upon the subject Of cot
ton and wool schedules until next
winter. AS the country has been
considerably exercised over these
tenturesof the tariff, this statement
BY Mr.. Emery comes in the nature
Of disappointment as there is a
great demand that the woolen sche-
dulles be considered. On the other
hand, the defenders OF the pres
ent schedule X, have asserted that
the statistics to be gathered by the
Tariff Board will serve to substan-
tiate their claims that wool growers
and woolen manufacturers are re-
ceiving no more benefits under the
tariff than they are entitled to.

What was one Of the most elab.
crate and successful social enter
tainments of the season was that
given Saturday evening in Athletic

Club. Two hundred people accept
ed the invitation to attend and they
certainly had good reasons to be
glad they did so. for the Bachelors
could not be we'll surpassed in the
generous and engaging spirit of
hospitality with which they receiv-

Dancing began atabout nine o'clock
in the evening and continued until
the small hours of the morning.
At midnight lunch was served to
to the guests, the Bachelors taking
special pains to see that the ladies
received their share. The music

by the dancers. The evening s
entertainment was very successful
and the Bachelors placed their
friends under great obligations

Washington. d. c., April a., 1911
Just what the latest delegation
lFom New Mexico hope to obtain
by coming here to ask Congress to
make further amendments to the
Territorial Constitution, is not very
clear TO the people in the Capitol,
unless the visit oi the delegation is
directed as blow against state

It we're nos for the meddlers who
have interiered with its progress,
the long cherished ambition Of
statehood would have been realiz-
ed attic last session. u Is too
Well known to be repeated that on
the fourth OF March the injection
lion Of the ArizoDa controversy
sent New Mexico over the session.
Troubles OF the Arizonans have
been responsible for the delays in
ratifying the New Mexico docu-
ment. When the matter FIRST came
before the Committee on Territor.
les OF the House, number Of peo
pie, styling them selves as temp
srance advocates, inteTposed obiec-
tions to statehood but they were pro
nptly turned down BY the Com
mittee. And now when New Mexico
needs every support that il can COM
mand there has appeared a number
OF people, who style themselves pro-
minent citizen of the Territory 10
mterpose further objections. Alta
meeting OF the Territories Com
mittee the first ol the week, Mr.
II. b. Ferguson OF Albuquerque,
and j. b. Hand OF Las Vegas, ap-
peared and made statements before
the Committee and made arrange
ments for the appearance Of Mr..
A. A. Jones, James Nornent and
William A.. .McGill, who we're at
the time enroute. Messrs Fergus
on and Hand stated that some 4ot
the Democrats and lnsurgent Re-
pnhlicans oi Flew Mexico were OPP
posed to the approval of the present
Constitution and to this statement
Delegate Andrews returned that
there we're no lnsurgent Republi-
cans in New Mexico, which brought
out the answer in contradiction, in
which Mr.. Herbert J. Haggerman
OF Roswell, General b. JJVilieion
of Las Cruces, Levi Hughes Of
Santa Fe and r. H. Hanna Of the
same place, were named as the
men who constitute the lnsurgent
Republicans OF New Mexico. The
statements of Mr.. Ferguson, were
TO the effect that the constitutional
election had been fraudulent, thai
the ballot box had been stuffed and
the voters deprived OF their right
TO vote. Mr., Andrews met not
the claims with the remark that

new CONTROL OF CT.
&L RIVAL IS RUMORED

Denver, April 7a.-A change in
the control of the St. Louis. Rocky
Mountain & Pacific Railway COM
pany is scheduled to occur at an
early date, according to The Times
The company has assets amounting
to more than sac, 600, 600 and it is
the largest coal and coke corpora
ton in the entire west with the ex-
ception OF the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company.
The company has a railroad rum
ming through the last unoccupied
low pass across the Rocky Noun
tain range. Il is probable that the
control Of the company will go to
the Colorado Fuel company or to
], Pierpont Morgan. The concern
owns 5ao, 900 acers OF coal land in
northern New Mexico. a railroad.
coke ovens and some of the best
equipped mines in the world.
Henry Koehler Of St. Louis,
president of the company is under
stood to be the largest stockhold-
er. Mr.. Koehler has been quite III
recently and word has reached Den
yer because Of illness he is desir-
GUS OF disposiug Of bis holdings.
J. van Honten of Ration, N. NJ,
is yice-president and general man
ager OF The company, He spends
considerable time in Denver. Mrs
van Houten is now stopping at the
Brown hotel, while Mr.. van
Houten, who is in New York is ex-
pected to return TO Denver May l.,
b. P. Cheney OF Boston, who is
closely allied with Mr.. Morgan in
number OF enterprises, is now in
Colorado. Mr.. Cheney was asked
yesterday, when he was in Denver,
about Mr.. Morgan's interest in the
St. Louis, Rocky Mountain & Paci-
fic. He stated that he (Cheney)
was not financially identified with
the company, but that he could not
say about Mr.. Morgan. He stated
that Mr. Morgan was very friendly
to Fisk &Robison, fiscal agents for
the western concern,
Mr.. Cheney spoke in glowing
terms OF the immense tract of coal
land which is one of the largest in
the United States, but did not think
SO we'll of the railroad proposition
The road was built to develop the
properties, and is a logical line for
the use of some transcontinel sys-
tenn seeking a route to the coast.
The enormous extent OF the COM
pany's coal land holdings can be
Judged from the fact that it owns
and controls Sra square miles oI
coal lands, or an area half as large
again as the anthracite coal regions
OF Pennsylvania and FIVE times as
large as the entire ConnellsvillS
district.
The concern is at present in a
splendid financial condition and is
earning money equal to fair return
on an investment of $40, 600, 900.
1t has been pointed out by some ol
the parties interested that II the
concern can make a showing OF
that kind at this time its possibili-
ties are almost unlimited when the
west becomes developed.
