LOUISIANA REPUBLICANs.

To the extent which the Deme-
Gratis of the State are becoming
active, the Republicans appear 70
be in sounder sleep. While Demo-
cratic leaders are arousing their
followers, Republican leaders appear
wrapped in a somnolence from which
some severe shock alone can awaken
them, even as to some, an awakening
of their fears Of removal from Iucra-
tive Federal offices, obtained thro'
vouchers of their partisan activity.
Whatever the true relative num-
bers of the two parties within the
State may be, there can be no ques-
tion that their numbers are so nearly
equal that, under the difficulties
embarrassing the Democratic leaders
and the dissatisfaction prevailing
among the masses of that party,
there would be, with proper efforts,
a fair chance Of Republican success
at the coming State election.
Moreover, there are duties which
mlnorities owe to the State. Their
active opposition often accomplishes
! good results. It is noticeable how,
in several of the States, for years, the
weaker party, though in d Hume1i-
cally hopeless minority, presents an
unbroken front to their opponents;
how their press, leaders and voters
enter into every political contest, as
if expecting victory. Defeated
though they constantly are, yet
they are never daunted; aud, what is
the great object ofminorities7 They

islation, than the defeated, but
active minority call attention to the
fact, expose the attempted wrong
before 1t is cOmsansadted, and appeals
to the better elements of the whole
people tojoinin anunited opposition.
So it should, and might be, in every
State, and in none with greater
benefit than in Louisiana. In every
point IF view, it is the duty of Re
publicans of the State to arouse
themselves and stir up their would
be leaders to a realizing sense o
their opportunities and duties.

assessor, was ineligible under the

are informed he intends doing, and

conclude that whatever horn of the

himself from his present embarras.

The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1883-05-18

it is considered that n year ago these
remarks would have been applicable to
but one or two Of the properties men,
toned it can hardly be said that the
range IS standing still. Dull, it certain
ly does seem to be, but there is never
theless, a good deal of development
work, and good work too, accomplished
in the course of every twelve months
The RANGE wonders how many Of
its readers have not often marveled at
the rude skill manifested by the Indian
in his chipping out from hard and brit
tie flint the arrow heads which abound
in all quarters of this hemisphere. and
it also wonders how many there are
who have the least idea of the manner
in which the work ~is.executed or of the
tools employed. 1t always seems the
most natural thing in the world that
the points should be made of flint rock,
because Of its exceeding hardness, but
when we came to think as most of us
have thought of the kind of tools used
to make the clippings, we go far estray.
We always fix our minds upon iron i'm
plements until we recollect that the
aborigines did not use iron and then we
substitute copper or stone tools, seldom
considering that it would be a matter
of almost impossibility to hack flint in
to the shape and style of the arrow
head with any edged tool. And they
are not cut out at all. In making the
arrowhead the rock is first heated
in the fire. Then the Indian manu-
facturer takes the red-hot rock in one
hand and a piece of wet buckskin in
the other and then brings the two artl-
Giles in contact. Wherever the cold
buckskin lightly touches the hot flint a
chip of the rock flies off, dividing on
its natural cleavage. AS the buckskin
touches so the division is made. and
thus by repeated intelligent touches the
form desired is obtained. The most
skill is displayed upon the neck, which
must be manipulated carefully. The
RANGE is indebted to George Davis for
the above enlightenment.

HERMOSA.

The Americana has found 1t neces-
sary to procure an air pipe for use in
its shaft. The dAmps are troublesome
in the shafts of the ran& during the
rainy season, which appar Elly is not
far off at this time. -
Jack Burke left the RANGE a choice
specimen of ore from the Yuma mine,
alate discovery on North PalOmas in
which he is interested with Mcbride
and others. The ore which at ten feet
assays two hundred and fifty dollars
grows better with depth.
ID. Dalglish has taken a ranch of
his own on Palomas creek, about a mile
above the town of Hermosa, and to
this point he has moved his stock from
Dry creek. He has a nice place where
he is now, there being several acres of
cultiyable ground there and when the
town of HermoSa acquires the impor-
lance that it is certainly destined to
have the Dalglish ranch will be valua-
BILE.
A new discovery of mineral has been
made by r. A. Mcbride, Jack Burk, +.
l.. Young, Mike Dempsy and Mike Irish
partners, which equals in Importance
anything yet found in this land of Won
ders. The find is located on the North
Palomas, on the opposite side of the
same hill as the Pelican, an extension
of which 1T is supposed to be. The
Chicago, as this location is called, covers
the ground where the Pelican extension
was expected to be, and owners of the
Pelican who have examined the Chica-
go, pronounce them identical with the
bonanza. On the north side of the
gulch opposite the Chicago the lead was
found again with good mineral crop
pings. Work was begun on these new
properties this week, with what result
is not known. If 1t shall be proven
this new strike is or the same vein as
the Pelican the fact will add greatly
to the worth of the latter already val
liable prospect, for it will definitely set
tie the now disputed question of wheth-
er the Pelican is a VEN or IA deposit.
1t is apparent from present develop
ment that the Pelican il a deposit is an
immense one, and if it can be proven
to be the vein it is claimed to be, it will
be truly a remarkable property.

pect for equally acknowledgements
in the way of rich mines. The Black
range is in an embryo state from which
it must dig out If it gets out.

anime the new stock of gsiS now
ready for inspection and sale ut WesteF-

Work was resumed on the Adiron-
dack Tuesday. c. J. Dow is superin-
tendent and Charley Garfield foreman
This week is occupied with timbering
the shaft which is forty-live feet deep,
and making other preparations TO be-
gin work in earnest. A drift will be
run mort on the vein from about twenty
feet depth in the shaft and a shipment
of ore will be made. The amount of
development will be governed by the
future appearance of the vein.
Chloride is indebted to the patriotism
and forethought of L. M. hampton for
the present welcome supply of change.
Mr.. Hampton had occasion to pay off
his surveying party here, and instead of
giving his men checks on adjacent
banks as many another would have
done he bore the expense of a trip out
to the road in order to get currency.
He reasoned, correctly, that if he paid
in cash agreat proportion of the money
would be spent here in the range to the
benefit of the people here, while if only
checks were used they would be carried
away and this country would receive no
benefit whatever. Remembering, also
the disadvantages regarding the lack of
small change which the range contends
with generally, he got eight hundred
dollars of his money in one dollar bills.
Hence the Black rangers stand very
well on change at the present time.
W. w. Jones will survey the Buffum
mine for patent as 500 as he receives
his expected appointment as deputy
mineral surveyor. The shaft of this
property had reached two hundred and
ten feet depth last Saturday and a wall
had been struck which is supposed to
be granite. If it really proves to be
granite it will be an important revela-
ton and it will greatly inspire CONT
dence in the minds of mining men con-
corning this country. The Black range
is known to be capped with a secoli-
Diary formation of porphyry, lime,trach-
lite and breccia. but, heretofore ne
shafts have penetrated to the primary
structure TO determine Its composition
If 1t is definitely settled that the solid
formation is granite, and that the veins
continue down uninterruptedly into it,
then there will be no fear in the minds
of any to take hold of the remarkably
rich surface workings here shown, and
continue them to the establishment OF
permanent and remunerative mines.

favored citizens of "the states" During
the past week Kansas City and the ter
ritory south, in Missouri and Kansas,

siderable damage and loss of life.
Greenville, Wisconsin, suffered from

a small town named Rock in the same

worst of the three was the Missouri
disaster, for it was much the most
