RUINS OF OJINAGA
SHOW RAVAGES OF
MEX. REVOLUTION
OJIN'AGA, Mexico.—Rearing their
crumbling walls along the skyline of
the south bank of the Rio Grande,
the ruins of Ojinaga, opposite Pre
sidio, Texas, tragically exemplify
the ravages wrought in Mexico by
eight years of revolution.
The town, which has been fre-!
quently mentioned in the news dis- i
patches recently as the headquarters |
of General Antonio Pruneda, who!
was instructed by his superiors to *
co-operate with the American puni-;
tive expedition, has been bombarded |
several times and has been in the j
hands of many masters.
Years ago it was a flourishing
little city, doing considerable busi- j
ness with the American side.
Today it is a wreck. The custom
house, the walls of which are gaily
decorated in colors of pathetic taw
driness, as if to conceal the under
lying shabbiness of the structure;
the ancient church, which has es
caped comparatively scathless; the
flat-roofed, one-story military head
quarters; a few dingy shops—these
are the Ojinaga that is. And scat
tered throughout the town are the
empty and cracked shells of build
ings that were.
Ojinaga’s ruin is more nearly
compete than that of most other,
revolt-racked Chihuahua towns. Chi- j
huahua City, too, has been bat-j
tered and buffeted by war, but it'
still wears at least the semblance
of some prosperity. Juarez has;
gone through many an ordeal of!
fire and sword; yet it retains a cer
tain air of bustle and gaiety.
Not so with Ojinaga. Her own
citizens are quickest to admit the
town’s utter desolation; but they
are also quick to add that, when
normal conditions are restored. Pre-1
sidio’s twin again will come into j
her own. j

BE PROSPECTED
Recent arrivals from the Tolovana
country are authority for the state
ment that considerable prospecting
will be done in that camp during
the winter season in the hope of
lining up new paystreaks for future
development. The population of the
camp has been considerably reduced
by recent departures from the dis
trict. but those who remain during
the winter expect to put in a busy
season, and all are looking forward
to large-scale mining activities in
the spring.
Owners of claims on Lucky creek
are planning to sink many holes on
that stream this winter, in an effort
to find the continuation of pay
recently located there, one outfit
having lately uncovered a streak
that will go $1.25 to the foot.
The Beaver country also will be
thoroughly prospected during the
winter, several outfits already hav- •
ing arranged to work there as soon .
as snow and cold weather come.
All of the travel to and from <
the Tolovana district at present is •
confined to the Olnes trail, but To- j
lovanaites intend to cut out that j
route as soon as the railroad has )
been completed between Xenana and J
Fairbanks. After that they will use
the Happy trail, connecting with ,
the railroad at Dunbar’s. Everyone ,
at Brooks, and throughout the To
lovana district generally, is said to
be enthusiastic o%-er the promise of
early relief from the mountainous
Olnes route, and the prediction is
made that all the travel this winter
will be between Brooks and Dun
bar’s. by way of the logjam.
The distance between Xenana and
Brooks, by way of the Happy trail,
is 66 miles, over a perfectly level
tountry. The distance from X'e
nar.a to Dunbar’s, by rail, is 16
miles: from Dunbar’s to the logjam.
23 miles; from the logjam to West
F'ork. 18 miles, and from West Fork
to Brooks, seven miles.

rear 1919-1920 by the Nenana

property lists have been distributed
ind mailed to residents within the
School District. These lists should
