railroad, called at the Ne7o Meci-
can office yesterday and while here
produced some very fine specimens
OF copper ore which were taken
from his group Of twenty-eight
mines in the foot of the White
mountains, four miles from Tula
Rosa, Dona Ana county. The ore
runs about 80 per cent copper and
40 ounces in silver. This proper
ty is within three miles Of the line
Of the FL Paso IL White Oaks road,
and the Major is confident that he
has bonanza that will be hard to
beat when the facilities for ship
ping are secured. The proposed

Let us particularizc, cogcntly,
aud without artitce.
We will first strike from El Paso

from we strike the Organ Noun

reach the San Andrcas, where the
copper product alone would supply
an immense amount Of freight
Immediately northeast of the San
Andrcas, and iuSt south OF the Nal
Pals are the White Sands. which
are nothing more or less than a
large deposit Of gypsum, the best
fertilizer known, which would soon
prove to be a bonanza to the freight
schedule of Il X. Il. Then comes
Iulmoso, an exceptional fine graz
ing and farming section. And
then, the Indian Agency, which
would render grateful tribute to an
iron highway. Coming still furth-
er north, the II. Il. will strike the
mining district on the west side of
the White Mountains, which. thro'
the seductive agency Of a r. Il.
and smeltcrs would soon produce
heavy invoices. Then comes the
Vera Cruz, Nogals, and Bonito mi
ming districts, winch, under the in
fiuence that r. X. would induce

the capacity of a r. r. Then
comes White Oaks, which, togeth-
er with the Coyotes, Jicarillas, and
adjoining districts, would swell to

Now let us take the other chute.
a X. Il. from Albuquerque hither
would strike the Manzanas Noun
tains, which, with proper prospect
ing, would develop large and valu-
able copper interests. A little fur
thcr ON and the X. r. would roll
along by the Salt Ponds, the sight
of which would make a denizen of
Syracuse stare and confess that
such saline deposits were undream-
cd Of in Onondaga. Then would
be reached the Gallinas mining dis
trict, which would provide r. II.
an immense ore traffic. Even un-
der the present partial develop
ment in that camp large amount
Of ore would be shipped.
Should the r.. K. strike from Las
Vegas, it would tap the same ad-
Vantageous points, with dlo addi-
ton OF an mcxcelled pastoral see
ton, as also the Pecos River. and
Alkali Wells, besides tapping the
San Andreas and JacanIlas.
Then, let the r. r. come to us
from Carthage, and it will tap the
San Andreas copper fields, then the
gypsum beds, on to the mines
bordering the west side Of the
White Mountains, and strike this
camp through Vera Cruz and Bo-
nito.

The recent large failures inyolyi ng assign

The recent large failures inyolvi ng assign
ments of property in several States have
started a fresh agitation for national bank
rupt law. 1t is certain that another bank
rupt law will be demanded by the business
men of the land atgno distant day. Some
States have no insolvency laws, and in no
two States having laws are they alike in their
provisions. In some States assignments
with preferences are lawful; in other States
they are not. A national bankrupt law es-
tablishes uniformity and secures the equal
rights of all creditors, no matter where they
are, or where within the limits of the United
States the insolvents property may be-.
Bradstreets' has taken up this matter and is
vigorously urging the passage of bankrupt
cy bill. 1t is proposed to hold convention
of delegates from boards of trade in Wash
ington next winter to press upon the atten-
ton of Congress the need. There are two
bills now before the Senate, one known as
the equity bill reported by special commit
tee of which Senator Ingalls, was chairman,
the other the Lowell bill, SO called, which
Senator Hoar will try to have substituted for
the other.

The Baltimore American believes that it
is possible for the Republicans to carry
Maryland at the next election if they appre-
ciate the significance of the situation of the
Democratic party and prepare themselves to
take advantage of it. The Democratic dis
organization is complete. There are two
great factions bitterly hostile and each of
these is split up into subdivisions and
cliques. The rank and file are involved in
the quarrels of their chiefs and bitter
hatreds are rife. All this may be true; but
we are unable to be sanguine about Mary
land. The Republican party there has not
been model of harmony and brotherly
kindness hitherto. If it can forget its own
diffeI ences and unite now 1t will do what it
has not been able to do in recent years. The
principal object of the Maryland Republic
cans has long seemed to be not to defeat the
Democrats but to struggle among themselves
for possession of the few offices in the gift
of the President. There are few weeks
when no delegation from Baltimore appears
at the White House, to ask the removal or
the appointment of somebody and the rival
delegations frequently jostle each other in
the ante-rooms.
