AMERICAN TROOPS
 REMAIN MEXICO
OCCUPY PART OF CHIHUAHUA
gon and American Officers Will Result in Stay of American Sol diers South of the Border.

FL PASO, April 29.-The belief is growing here that following the con- ference between Secretary of War Obregon of Mexico, and Generals Funston and Scott, the United States troops will be allowed to occupy a part of the State of Chihuahua.
 No official announcement as to the conference has been made, but it is freely stated, by those who are pre- sumed to speak with authority, that the United States officers will hold out for permission to occupy striI of the country south of the border for the purpose of holding in check any attack that may be directed or the American towns near the border line.
 It is understood that Obregon is urging the complete withdrawal oi the troops, but is unable to furnish sufficient guarantee that the Car ranza troops are able to efficiently guard the border, particularly if the uprisings reported in various parts ot Mexico should gain in magnitude, o1 the invasion by Diaz should material. iZe

DIFFICULT TRIP
 FROM GLACIER WILSON'S MEN COME FROM MINE Jim Wilson's Freighting Crew Leaves Camp at Midnight and Are All Day Coming Nine Miles to TOwn-BOt- tom Dropped Out of Crevasses.
WILSON'S MEN COME FROM MINE

Wilson's freighting outfit of twelve horses came in from the glacier last evening, having completed the work of landing the seasons supplies at the mine of the Ramsay-Rutherford company. The men report an ex- tremely hard trip to town, the snow bridges across the crevasses having fallen in in many places, necessitat- ing the construction of plank bridges in some instances, and the filling up of some of the shallower holes with rocks from the morraines before the stock could be taken across. The out fit started from the mine shortly aft CT midnight yesterday, and did not arrive in town until o'clock last night. As all the snow has gone off the flat between the glacier and the town, the sleds were cached at the foot of the glacier and will be brought in on wagons later.
 The boys were burned to deep red color and had many snow-blisters from working on the ice in the hot sun of the past few days.
