turned back by Campbell’s orders. The killing of Kid Lewis and the capture of Heath and his gang scattered the rustlers. Big Dave was killed somewhere in Arizona, and several others run out of the country. Shoot-em-up Dick was killed on the Rio Grande for horse stealing. Ike Clan- ton was shot some time afterwards by an officer on Eagle Creek, Cherokee Kid, Garcia and several others are in the Yuma pen, and Pilar, as hard a wretch as ever drew the breath of life, was hanged by Andy Laird in the court house yard in this city. It will be remembered by the Enterprise readers that Pilar kidnaped a Mexican girl on the Mimbres and that Thomas Hall, an old timer and as brave a man as ever walked, a deputy sheriff under Jim Woods, was looking for him.

A Hint To Prospectors The Enterprise desires to call the attention of prospectors to the fact that they have for many years been passing over valuable deposits of marble, onyx and jasper, which in all prob- ability are of as great and possibly more perma- nent value than any gold or silver mine in the world. Take for instance the marble quarries of Carrera, Italy which have been in operation for hundreds of years and will continue to be worked for centuries to come. We have within the limits of Grant county a greater variety of the grades of marble than found in the same area anywhere on earth. Note the different kinds enumerated below.
