Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 15.-Twen-
ty-five hundred Mexican constitution
alists, under General Pancho Vile,
captured Juarez this morning. Cen
eral Villa authorized the United
Press to announce that the lives and
property of all Americans would be
protected.
The rebels approached the city un-
der cover of darkness and suddenly
appeared on the outskirts of the city
at 2 o'clock this morning. They open
ed fire on the federal garrison which
was completely off guard.
Colonel Castro, the federal COM
mander, was unable to rally an eff
fective resistance. Fighting in the
streets continued for several hours.
At 4:15 the rebels captured the Gus
toms house and approaches to all the
bridges to Ell Paso, preventing any
federals from escaping to the Amer
lean side.
General Castro with small squad
of federals took refuge in the police
station. They were surrounded by
rebels and captured. Firing continued
intermittently until o'clock when
quet reigned. General Villa took pos
session of the city government.
1t is rumored Villa plans to execute
all federals captured, though this has
been unconfirmed.
Fighting was renewed at 7 o'clock
at the. race track, on the outskirts of
the city, and it is reported force
of fifty federals were completely ex-
terminated by the rebels.
During the fighting the American
caualry -zpatrolled 7tho--rinternat
bridges on the river front streets this
side of Juarez, keeping people out of
the danger zone. Many bullets sang
over Ell Paso, but no one has been
reported hit.
General Villa says five rebels were
slain during the battle. The federal
loss is unknown.

We have received many commend
ations regarding the article on min
ing and its possibilities appearing in
yesterdays Herald in connection with
Silverton and San Juan county. Local
mining men are Of one opinion-that
the day has passed when one can go
east with assay certificates and sell
a prospect. Mining these days re-

CONCERNS MAY HAVE TO SHUT
DOWN If STRIKE CONTINUES

COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. To-
If the present southern Colorado coal
strike is continued another 80 days
the situation in the Cripple Creek
mine district will be acute, accord
ing to mining men. 1t is feared
many Of the properties will be COM
PEELED to shut down. Nothing but
Ignite coal is to be had at present
and the consequent expense to oper-
ators is greater while the service is
much inferior to that obtained from
the hard coal which is especially
adapted to most of the mine furnaces.
Many of the mines are practically out
of coal and the power plants at
Pueblo and Canon City are face to
face with a coal famine threatening
TO tie them up. In this event the
Cripple Creek district and smelters
at Pueblo would be without power
and business would be paralyzed.

condition is not impressed on visitors.
Ask about conditions and every Sill
vertonian will begin telling you about
this or that mine working or getting
ready for operations-that times are
Improving. And under the system in
vogue times are improving. This is
evident to every one who studies the
situation. A year ago three freight
trains week took care Of the busi-
ness. For the past six weeks it has
required "double-header" most
every day to handle the in and out
traffic, and one of the dealers told us
he was still shy 100 cars of coal and
hay. Must be something doing to get
away with the supplies that requires
two locomotives daily to land in the
town. But, as previously stated, there
is not the hurrah of former days.
Very few idle men are loafing around
the town and in saloons! all are vt
work in the mines and mills or CO.
operative lines. The business inter-
ests are up and doing. They want =
return to the old days and feel this
will be brought about in the near
future If the mining industry ia prop
erly presented to men seeking invest
ments. They do not desire any ficti-
cious boom or values, simply straight
facts and the active mining commit
tee of the commercial organization
will only be too glad to furnish facts
and see that prospective investors ara
not buncoed and the camp injured
thereby.
In conclusion: Isn't the lesson
worth remembering? Shouldn't the
pull-together spirit prevail in Du-
range and all other communities? II
Durango will only thrqw out the
knocker and every one present an op-
timistic spirit, boost for everything
in sight and not only boost but get
into the working harness, we will
have metropolis that will appeal
to the people in every direction. Think
about this, Mr.. Durangoite. Don't
put any ifs in the way. Let us for
get past troubles and unite for
greater Durango--a greater San
Juan.

est diversified industries in the world,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov 10
With certainty that currency legis-
lation will soon be before him for
signature, President Wilson today
turned to his trust policy. This will
be the all-overshadowing issue of the
regular session of congress. The
president will devote the major por-
ton of his annual message to con-
gress to this problem. He has told
a score of congressional visitors dur
ing the past few days that the anti
trust bugaboo must be eliminated for
all time. The big corporations of the
country, he believes, are ready to go
ahead and do business under the new
tariff bill but they won't, and they
have right to expect, the president
thinks, the right to have defined for
them how they can operate and
whether they are to be limited by a
series of new laws.
To every single one of his visitors,
the president has insisted that the
fact corporation has a capital stock
of billion dollars is no reason why
anybody should fear it. To one visit
or he said:
81 am not objecting to the size OF
the enterprises. Nothing is big
enough to scare me. am not OBJ
jecting to the extent of business, and
least of all, am not objecting to
people getting rich from conducting
business with prudence. What
am going to object to is that the
government should give corporations
exceptional advantages which enable
them to succeed and does not pu,
them on the same footing as Other
people,"
That will be the keynote of all anti
trust legislation-equality for every
one under the law, for the small a.
we'll as the large producer. The
president has told the men who viii
handle this legislation that he wants
the Republicans taken into their con
fidence. He insists that while th'
Democracy, by reason Of being in con
troll of congress, must assume respon
sibility for initiating legislation, i
must make that Legislation SO broat
that it can bid for the opposition sup
port In enacting it.
