RUN DOWN AT LAST.

The El Paso Times the

morn-ingof the sixth inst. contained

the following:

Albuquerque, N. M., Feb. 6.

"Abel Sedillo, anotorious

desper-ado, was killed this morning in a

battle with theofficers, and Claude

Duran, one of the most

danger-ous desperadoes in

the

west was

badly wounded. A band of five

desperadoes have been terrorizing the surrounding country for

months,stealing horsesand cattle,

holding up travelers and daring the oficers to seekthem.

Yester-day the sold twenty-fiv- e

stolen cattle to Indians at Isleta,

only twelve miles below

Albu-querque. Ben Williams, special

Santa Feofficer, hero of a

hun-dred fights, and Deputies Cooper of Albuquerque and Barela of Las

Cruces secreted themselves at a

ranch six miles from here. At8

o'clock this morning Sedillo and

Duran rode up. They refused to

surrender attheofficer's command.

A fierce _battle followed. Sedillo's

body was riddled with bulets, and

he died within an hour. Duran's

leg was shattered by a ball, and two horses were killed. The

of-ficers wereunhurt. A large

re-ward isout for the capture of all

the members of the band. Duran

hasserved two years in the

peni-tentiary for cattle stealing. He broke jail at Bland last year by

cutting his way through a wall.

Two weeks ago, single handed,

he made an attempt to hold up

the California express sixty miles west of Albuquerque. Sedillo, for years, hasbeen reputed to be one

of the worst cattle thieves and

desperadoes in _the _territory. _He

always eluded capture. A

de-termined attempt will be made to secure the othermendeadoralive.

The gang has for the past few months confined its operations to Bernalillo, Valencia and Lincoln counties. Stockmen were in

con-sternation as their lives had

re-peatedly been threatened if they

ventured to take any measure of

opposition. The chief credit of

the successful raid must be given

to Ben Williams, who directed

the posse."

The dispatch is in error as to the name of one of the

despera-does.

It

is Claude Doane instead of Claude Duran.

Bryan, speaking of the coinage bill now before thecongress, says:

"The bill has a double purpose first to convert standard silver dollars into subsidiary,and second, to make silver dollars redeemable in gold on demand. In discussing the subject, however, it will be

SOUTH HOMESTAKE STARTS UP.

Yesterday morning the people

of White Oaks were wakened by

the South Homestake mine and

mill whistles in concert withthose

of the Old Abe. Such causes the

Old Timerto move with increased .

elasticity in his step, and the in

habitants generally to recall the

old times of prosperity,which are

now rapidly returning to our

mining industry.

The prospective stage of gold

mining at White Oaks has passed

into history, and the once

primi-tive shafts over which were the ordinary hoisting whims at the

Old Abe and South Homestake,

have been replaced by the latest patterns of modern machinery,

their value having grown with

time, and development, from a

few hundred dollars to producing mines of a great worth, and

rep-utation, the Old Abe, having

al-ready produced more than a

mil-lion dollars of gold. At present

the Old Abe, so the Kaoi.k has

been told, has more gold in sight than at any previous time during its operations, and the South

Homestake has a mint of money

inthe ores now in the bins, and laid bare in the mine waiting

for the stamps which were start-ed going yesterday morning.

Who can tell what a year will

bring to us with such a

begin-ning? Situated as we are in the very heartof New Mexico's virgin mining country, surrounded by

mining camps of various kinds of

ores. Jicarilla, New Mexico's

greatest Placer mining district, is

atour northeast door, eight miles

from White Oaks.

Thirty

miles

beyond is the Gallina district,

where there are greatcopper, lead and silver deposits. To the

south-west of us is Schelerville and

Nogal both--meriting first rank

among other ore producing

dis-tricts of New Mexico.

Nogal, though victim of

un-scrupulous bac kca p p c r s, and

knockers, has many valuable

properties in gold and other

met-als and must soon attract

atten-tion from capital seeking invest ment. Schelerville is now a live

hustling camp, with development

of copper mines going on under

the New Mexico Mining and Mil

ling Company's management

With these surroundings and the

storeof minerals at White Oaks, including our gold, coal fireclay, marble, building stone, iron, etc.,

etc., suuaieu in easy reacn ot a

through line of railway from El

Paso toKansas City, markets for products on both ends of the road,

insures a future for White Oaks

that

is good. Organization and a

pull all together on the part of

our people will bring better times

for this community. Let us make

it that way. Let the thick skinn

ed mossy old croakers stay in

their secluded coners and curse

themselves and their fate. Let

every man interested in tin

growth of his town and the gen

eral prosperity of the community

negotiate with himself with the

view of loosening up for the goot:

of White Oaks as a town and see

if something can be done to show

that

our resources merit the in

vestment of capital and thereby

increase the importance of our

mining interests as an industry.

NEW FIND IN THE BOSTON BOY.

Last week the miners in _the

Boston Boy cut a large vein of

rich ore. The new timl was made

in a drift west of the main

tun-nel at a distance of 20 feet, the ore being inplaie and ofa greater

value than has heretofore been

opened in

that

property. Thus

the EaüLU expects soon to

an-nounce another producing

prop-erty added to thepresent list.

HOUSES STOLEN.

Four head of horses were stolon afewdaysago fromJ.E.Wharton's

It

that

with us continually for the past three weeks. It is a boon to our

stock men, however, insuring an

abundanceof early grasses and

plenty of water.

A. B. McKie, Editor of the In

at

several days here recently in the interest of his paper. A special edition of the Record will appear

in about 60 days, in which it is

expected that the most thorough

THE EAGLE (REEK BUDGET

OF 10CAL HEWS.

Your correspondent is undecid-ed whether to surrender or renew the battle. Snow! Snow!! Snow!!!

It has been snowing for 15days, and the fall still continues today, and the depth has reached 3 feet

in many places.

It

is impossible for range stock to get anything

to eat except the leaves and

branches of trees. The oldest

settlers here allege this to be the greatest continuous snow storm they haveever seen in this locali ty. Snow has been falling some

part of every 24 hours during the

last 15 days.

It

means good crops

however, thecoming season, and

abudance of water, with early

grass. There is no kind of stock work going on

at

present for the

reason

that

it isimpossible to get through the snow.

Yonr correspondent would

sug-gest

that

the

Kaotjj

entreat our

honorable law makers to take up

the question of good roads.

Leg-islation on this question is very

badly needed. The roads away

from the towns are almost

impas-sable and have not been worked

for two years. The reason of this dearth of good roads is

_that

the

oflice of road supervisor was by

the 33rd legislature merged into

that

of Justice of the Peace, with the right sufficient salary of

$5per annum.

The

consequences

are

that

our roads have been

grossly neglected by these high

salaried officers.

It

is an apparent

necessity to me

_that

the super-visorsh-ip

should be taken away

from the Justice of the Peaceand put into the hands of the County

Commissioners. They then should

begiven authority to appoint a

road superv isor in each school

district in the county, such super

visor should receive a salary, of

say, S1.00 for each day's work he

put in on the roads during the

year, and should be delegated

authority to compel each and every able bodied man in the

dis-trict to work at least three days

ineach year. A law which would

bring these things about would make the markets more accessible

to _the farmers, and fruit growers

of the county, and would be the

means of increasing the trade of our merchants.

La Grimm has fastened its

dutches on a goodly number of our inhabitants recentlv.
