There are two or three papers
in the territory, notably the vir
tuous Star, that are still trying to
boost tip the Tortillita mining
swindle,' which was so thoroughly
ventilated by the New York Her
ald and several first-class mining
journals together with the Tomb
stone Epitaph, which gave an ex
pose of the manner in which that
company sought to subsidize news
papers generally.
The attorney general has ren
dered a decision on the construc
tion of sections 3, 4 and 5 of the
act of March 3d, 1S87, passed to
provide for the adjustment of
land grants made by congress to
aid in the construction of rail
roads, and for the forfeiture of
unearned lands. The question
was submitted as to what is meant
by bona fide purchasers of un
claimed lands as mentioned in the
third section of the act The
opinion says the rights of the
several classes are as follows: The
first in right is the homestead, or
pre-emption settler, whose entry
has been wrongfully cancelled,
and if he has notbeeu disqualified
by locating another claim, or
making another entry in lieu of
that erroneously cancelled, his
right is absolute. The second
class persons are bona fide pur
chasers of land unclaimed by the
first class. The third c'asa are
those who without knowledge of
wrong or error, have purchased
from a railroad company land pre
viously - entered by the pre-emption
or homestead settler whose
entry has been erroneously can
celled, and which land pre-emption
or homestead settled did not elect
to claim after recovery by the
proceedings prescribed by the
sections of the act Under the
fourth section of the act the sec
retary says: "Until the lands shall
have been legally determined to
belong to the United States, the
right to issue patents under the
fourth section does not arise. If
patents should be issued under
the fourth section before recon
veyance as a judicial recovery un
der the second, and . proceedings
be then instituted to cancel the
patent issued to the railroad in
the decision was adverse to the j
government, two patents would be
outstanding at the same time."
Ihe question submitted under the
fifth section is whether the pro
viso making it 'awful for bona
fide purchasers of lands not con
veyed to or for use of the railroad
company selling the same to make
payment to us for said land, ap
plies to lands within the primary
granted limits or whether it ap
plies to land within the indemnity
limits of which the company has
made selection, but which has not
been approved. On this point
the secretary says: "The word
grant in the fifth section must be
construed to include as it does in
the proceeding sections, both
primary and indemnity limits.
Upon receipt of the opinion, Sec
retary Lamar directed the con -missioner
of the general land
office to at once adjust all land

Booms seem to be the onW of
the day on this const, and now it
is extending over the divide. New
towns, virgin lands and mines are
the cause. As soon as a towusile
is patented steps are instituted to
boom the place. Th attraction
of arable lands of the public do
main that are open to settlement
is made known to the densely
populated districts of tho North
and East to create a boom in the
locality. When an important
strike in mineral is made any
where it is certain to be followed
by the inevitable boom.' Some
times the place, the land or the
mineral discovery creates a boom
that is short-lived deplorable in
results being born of the spirit
.of .reckless ' speculation, "ribbed
up" by the adventurer and the un
scrupulous sharper for the pur
pose of personal gain at the ex
penso of the honest investor who
hal swallowed the improbable
stories toia mm. mil mere are
periods in the history of places
known as booms that still con
tinue prosperous, because its busi
ness men having an ere to the
future and would not tolurata the
unnatural boom to exist. Lead-
vine, in ner early days, is a case
in point as regards a mining
camp. El Paso is another per
taming to real estate, etc. Neither
of these places have ever experi
enced the humiliating position of
having to explain or apologize to
the world for creating bubble fig
ures in realties. Both are rich in
resources, backed by plucky and
enterprising business men men
wno aro capable in tlieir various
avocations and who act as a unit
in any undertaking that inures to
the common welfare or tends to
commercial advantages; men who
are not afraid to face competition;
men who recognize that competi
t:ou is tbe life of trade; and if
there be resources in their m"cet,
they will ba nnearthod an.l create
genuine values settled on the fonu
dition of toil, of which prosperity
and wealth are the offsprings. In
this connection it is pleasing to
note that the business men at our
county seat (Silver City) have
realized, at last, the importance of
attracting attention to Grunt
county's numerous resources per
taining to mines, lands and cli
mate, - and have inaugurated a
move that is sure to win. They
are scattering broadcast over the
world a folder gotten np in an
elegant and attractive form set
ting forth nothing but plain un
varnished facts for the laborer,
the farmer, the stockman, the
capitalist and the nnhealthy to
ponder on. The statements made
in the folder, being true and un
exaggerated, it does not take the
eye of a prophet to see the result.
Grant county will boom on its
merits and not on unnatural or in
flated values. There will be no
reaction to prostrate or cripple its
energy or enterprise; but rather
the sure progressive march on the
road to prosperity and Buccess will
be pursued. The business men of
Lordsburg will assist in the good
work. Qcm Nunc.

El Paso is unhappy. The
Mayor and corporation authorities
of the town of Ysleta are on the
point of instituting an injunction
suit against the city of El Paso,
asking the courts to restrain the
latter city from emptying its sew
age into the Rio Grande. Ysleta
lies twelve miles below El Paso,
and depends for all the water used
for'drinking and irrigation upon
the river. El Paso has just com
pleted an extensive sewerage sys
tem which empties into the Rio
Grande somewhere between the
two cities. The Ysleta people are
afraid that El Paso will contami
nate the river to such an extent
that all will bo poisoned, hence
the application for an injunction
On top of all these domestic com
plaints there will be remonstrances
from the Mexican authorities on
the same subject.
It is asserted that ex-United
States Senator Jones of Florida,
who, for some unexplained reason
has sojourned in Detroit for two
years past, is practically a beggar
upou the streets, und but for the
charity of a friend would be with
out food or shelter to-night The
6tory says he has run through
with all his money and completely
exhausted Lis credit. Leading
members of the Democratic party
as well as high church officials
and others have repeatedly urged
him to go home to Florida but he
will not do it. It is the opinion
of many that his mind w affected.
