garding this district:
"The La Plata mountains offer To
the prospector better opportunity
than any other new mining camp il
the west, being almost wholly a tun.
mel proposition. While the accesi.
bility of the ore bodies, make it an
ideal poor mans camp.
Except for the May Day, Idaho
and 1ncas mines, the district has had
very little prospecting. Most of the
mining has been carried on by ranch
men and stockmen living in the vicia-
ity. The same condition that made
the rich ore in the May Day, Idaho
and Incas mines, extends over big
area, much of which Is still open for
location.
1t must be remembered that the
La Plata mountains is no devcloped
camp consequently the properties for
lease in the majority of cases do not
show a great quantity Of shipping
ore in sight, but do show good sur
face indications TO make ore. Good

Western Press.
TOPEKA, kans., Aug. 24.-Con-
Tests have been filed before the state
contest board by the Taft forces
against the eight Roosevelt electoral
candidates nominated at the recent
state primary.
The conests are in the form Of OBJ

pies.
That Roosevelt had MS name print
ed on the Republican primary ticket

GOOD ROADS NECESSARY.

The most important matter for
the San Juan people to look after
just now is the building of railroad
from Pennington south to connect
with road leading directly into Los
Angeles. This matter is receiving
due attention and we are satisfied
that the results will be Commensurate
with the efforts that are being made.
The next most important business
for the San Juan people to consider
is the building of good automobile
and wagon roads connecting us with
the commercial centers of the state
and also making it possible for the
eastern tourists to get into this
country by the automobile route,
We should not neglect this good

POPULATION INCREASING

1t will be noticed that Durango
Is gaming new residents every day
Many who have been away for the
summer are now returning 10 the
city and getting ready to place the
young people in school. Many whe
make their homes in the country
move into Durango for the winter in
order to secure the superior advan.
tages of our schools.
1t will be noticed that there are
but few empty houses in the city and
by the time school commences there
will be no houses for rent. Notwith-
standing number of new residences
that have gone up this summer all
houses will be occupied and that
means the population of Durango ia
steadily increasing.
This movement to the city speaks
well for Durango as a residence CITY,
Our population is increasing each
year from the mining population of
the surrounding country. These peo-
pie have summer residences up in
the hills where their mines are To-
Gated. During the school year these
families or a part of them come
down to our city for the winter and
the schools.
This condition has very favor
able influence on the mercantile bus
mess here and this in turn stimulates
all kinds of business in the city and
the surrounding country.

WATCHING HEARST.

w. r. Hearst of New York from
the point of valuation is perhaps the
greatest newspaper man in the whole
world today, He owns string OF
newspapers reaching the large cit
les and extending from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and from the Grea,
Lakes to the Gulf
Hearst is Democrat but he has
not been able to work with the Tam
many Democrats and has been en-
gagged in Independent politics about
as much as he has with the Demo
Gratis. His string of papers has
caused the Democratic party much
trouble in the last ten years and at
the present time has not decided to
support Wilson unless he modifies
his platform. 1t was made for him
and he had to do was to accept it.
Hearst is in Europe and will not
be back until September when he
agains threatens to launch into poll
tics and may himself be n candidate
for governor of New York If the
Democrats nominate Dix.
He is very wealthy man and with
his newspapers throughout the coun-
try can strike the Democratic par
ty terrible blow. He Is very pos
tive and determined character and
there is not much of the spirit OF
compromise in his nature. The Dem.
ocrats say that he is looking for an
excuse to support Roosevelt.

go down in social history as one of
the most extravagant affairs of its

Thousands of electric lights were
arranged so as to give an eastern
effect and Illuminated the entrance
to Beaulieu and its mounds and piaz-

was easily converted into an annex
to the ball room was built. In the
theatre first of all the 400 guests

from New York. Egyptian orange
trees, bamboos and cocoanut palms
