Mining Journal. Of New York. q have

could name dozen camps that will
come into prominence and add great
deal to the prosperity of Ell Paso
when development is started. There is
q wealth of mineral in New Mexico
only awaiting transportation for OBJ
eratlons to be commenced on a big
scale"
III the prominent people Of Chi
huaEua are here in FL Paso," said Juan
Arellano "and now that we are be-
coming adjusted to things in our new
home, We viii soon begin to have our
own social activities among our Chi
buahua colony. Personally I am very
much attached to Ell PasO. and it has
been the home of my sisters for some
time. Regret concerning the disturb
ances in our country is the only thing
that Is preventing US from being per-
fectly cortent and at home here

81 had a burglar scare out at my
house the other night that made my
hair stand straight up" said John
Harm, superintendent Of the press and
stereotype departments of Tho Herald.
My vile was awakened by a grating,
rasping sound as of wire being cut and
she called me. heard the noise and,
taking up my revolver, FASTENED into
the next room. The noise grew
palmer and was sure that a burglar
was ripping the whole of the front
door screen open so he could go to
work with skeleton keys on the lock.
Leaving the room dark. so he could not
see me, L slipped to the door, opened
it easily and pOlced out my revolver
at a big cat that was amusing itself
climbing the wire"
"The chariots shall rage in the
streets; they shall iOstle one against
another in the broad ways; they shall
seem like torches; they shall run like
the lightnings," quoted F. L. W. Polk,
accident man Of Austin and Mari. Il
do not mean to assert that the advent
of automobiles was prOphesied in the
bible but that would seem that the
prophet had looked far ahead to the
present time. Automobiles do rage In
another in the broad ways and they
run like lightning. In the last two or
three years automobile accidents in
few cities have increased as follows;
New York. $40 percent; Philadeiphi2'
800; Boston 277; Cleveland, $40; CHI
cagO, 1853; Los Angeles, ESQ; Seattle,
$50; Memphis, 400"
Bill Stewart was wearing mourning.
The men on the day shift had suffo-
Gated the Jail cat and her kittens three
when they fumigated the Jail Il am
cured Of trying again II rear cat
family" declared Stewart Five or
six grown men sat around helpless
while my cats were being smOthered.
That is enough to peeve any man. One
Door little kitten managed to escape
because just before the fumigation
started that kitten slipped out of the
door. Had I been here 1 would have
looked out for the cats first. That
was a good cid cat and those kittens
were just as cute at they could De.
The only harm they did was to eaten
the rats and mice IN the JAN can
figure out why they should have been
suffocated"
'As stand here in front Of the
hotel Zeiger and watch my country
men pass see many rebel officers and
soldiers" said GuiIlermo Porras. for
merly acting governor Of chihuahua
under the federal regime. They are
permitted to come and go at will from
JuareZ. RaOul MsderO attends tho teas
which are given by the officers at
Fort Bliss and is never questioned.
Yet when one OF our defeated gener-
ais crosses the line he is, thrown in
Jail and is held indefinitely and then
termed with the common soldiers.
That does not seem like the fairness !
that know Americans are capable OF,
and I often wonder if the fact that
Villa is a temporary victor does not
cause the Americans to lose their good
common sense. Had Sa1azar been a
cOnquering general instead of q de-
feated commander think his treat
he crossed Yet Villa is doing exactly
the same things that Sala9ar has been
accused of and he is hailed as hero.
That is turn Of American character
which I do not quite understand"

where is the silver cup which we
offered for the best exhibit in the
Statehood jubilee parade two years
agO?" asked Col. Eugene van Patten'
of Las Cruces. The Peras, Teguas
from the vicinity of Las Cruces, APP
peared in the parade, won the cup and
have never been given the trophy.
They keep asking me for 1t as they
wish to place it on the altar OF their
little church in the upper valley.
don't know what became Of this cup,
but do know that we are entitled to
It and the indians should have it after
they worked SO hard on their costumes
and went to the trouble of coming to
I3I Paso to show the visitors a typical
indian parade.

builder and president of the Alamo
gordo Improvement association, who is
here for the bankers hearing. I'VE
have arranged for issuing q large num-
her of booklets, the. contract mas been
let to an FL Paso printing, company,
the maps and pictures are to be made
in Ell Paso and the matter is to be
compiled by an Ell Paso writer. We
are going to give Alamogordo the kind
of legitimate advertising it has been
needing. Town building is distinct
from town boosting and we prefer the
town building to the other method.
We want settlers in the Alamogordo
valley rather than the real estate
boosters and we are not going to allow
anyone to misrepresent our valley for
their own personal gain"
1--WE are sorry to leave JuareZ. but
glad to get back into the field again"
said Maj. Carlos Ugarteehea, Of the
ZaragOsa brigade in Juarez. Our stay
on the border has been interesting,
but we are getting tired of the mac
hvity connected with guarding a town
that is in no danger of attack. Most
of the men in this brigade came from
the neighborhood OF Torreon and they
