to overcome is the failure of thOs,

the influence of an overexcited imagin-

by means of going into some Of the

tells a long rigmarole about the many

commend themselves to capital, and

camps of the Rocky mountains, and
not one will have a steadier or more

maintain a reputation for high grade

The BLACK RANGE has long persist
ed IN the announcement of its opinion
that the Apache district in the Black
range, is not to be eXcelled by any other
mining camp for its true. assure veins,
and fer its surface indications for min.
eral. 1t has also cOntended that the
showing of ore, on the amount of work
done, is exceptionally large, and that
nothlngis needed but the judiciOus in
yestmtnt Of capital to make the pro.
pertles Of this camp great producers,
and to throw the district INTO the front
of western mining camps as a perma-
nent and pro6table bullion producer.
The RANGE has never boosted of high
grade ores; that is to say, has never in,
sisted that our grades of ore, as a rule
are high. Of course hlghIgrade tspeci.
mems can be found, but the day has
long since passed when specimen as.
says will be taken as a measure of the
merit of a mine. Hundreds of thous.
ands of dollars have been put in to
mines, by capital, on the representa-.
lions OF specimen finds, and many old
miners to-day will honestly deceive
themselves into the belief that they
have a bonanza because of some speci-
mems assay they have found in their
property. What wins in mining is the
large bodies Of ore of low grade.
Bodies of ore that are enduring
and that can be calculated upon
to yield certain net results by concen-
tration, are what capital in these late
days ask to be shown. But mining, the
safest of all investments, where en-.
tered upon with the same degree OF
caution that other business IS engaged
IN, seems to be surrounded with a
strange fatality in the early history Of

date mentions the BLACK RANGE as "a,
strong democratic paper" which is a
news item worthy of notice. The
BLACK RANGE is emphatically not a
democratic paper and never was such
although the course into which itself
in company with the Las Vegas Gazette
the Albuquerque Journal and the So
zorro Sun were driven by the high
handed outrages perpetrated by Col.
Breeder and Max Frost before the last
election, and the shameless frauds of
the henchmen of Frank Chavez DIT the
SAID election, may have warranted the
impression that the New Mexican Re-
view editor appears to have gained.
The editor OF the RANGE has had the
pleasure Of voting for two republican
presidents and has been a delegate to
every republican convention held in
this county and territory for the three
years past and he expects to be at the
next one, but at the same time he is
not so blinded by party fealty as to be
unable to see good in the opposite party
and no bad IN his own. The RANGE
Pounds its highest admiration for the
republican party on it zeal in working
out its own publication, and believes
that in this consists the continuity of
the organization which it proposes to
stand by. When it fights corruption in
the republican party it proposes 10
strike from the inside.

give relief to the suffering animal. Ex-
perience has taught us, that when both
lungs are affected, the animal generally
dies. That many animals partially re-
cover, whore but one lung is diseased;
and that the different methods of treat
ment, which have been recommended and
tried, have never done any good: that we
have never increased the number of such
recOveries by such treatment, but have
in many cases done much harm
AS to the efficacy of incubation, cav
not speak definitely, as there is much
difference of opinion as to it's efficiency
as curative agent. Some able writers
claim it is the only way to modify the
strength of the virus and eventually
stamp out the disease: others, of Just as
high professional standing claim it is as
useless to adopt as any other mode of
treatment It's value, at least in this
country, has yet to be shown, and we
will content ourselves by patiently await
ing its development.
When it is definitely known that this
disease is in a herd slaughter all the ami
mails that have the disease in the first
stage, as their flesh is fit for human food
The loss will be great, but not so much
as when the disease is allowed to run on
until all the herd are affected to that de-
gree that, when killed, the flesh is unfit
for human food Allow no cattle to go
on or come off the farm, as they may
bring more disease to your herd; or else,
carry the disease from your herd to an
other herd in your immediate vicinity,
thus causing heavy loss to Your neigh
bors.
To sum up the treatment of this dis
ease in a very few words, carry out the
modes of precaution as laid down in my
first article, when speaking of the means
to adept in order to etfectualy rid our
selves Of this dreadful malady. If we are
so unfortunate as to have this disease in
our herd, confine it as much as possible
to our own stable, and employ every
means to stamp it out as quickly as pos
sible, and thus save our neighbors' herds.
Fortunately the government is now com

Editor IF Tie Cecil Why:
This yarn, founded on facts with the
proper names of those interested given,
was doubtless published many years
since, if so, still will be something new
to your readers of the present day:
The late Commodore kearny, the
bluff and brave, lived in Il cottage near
Brighton, New Jersey, where many of
the naval friends enjoyed his hospitality.
Among his guests on one occasion, were
Capt. (now AdmiraD Porter, Capt. (now
vice Admra) Rowan and the late and
honored Capt. llarstien. One night they
had been telling side-Splitting stories,
when Capt. Rowan said: by the way,
Porter, what has become Of old EGyle?!"
"Well, the last time | saw him, answered
Porter was his second in duel. |
had gone with half dozen other fellows,
all naval officers, to spend a week at
Shrewsbury, little one-horse town in
Jersey, and as we were sitting in the
bar room of the tavern, smoking, telling
anecdotes, &C., who should saunter
in but old Boyle. Any room for me? he
asked. Why yes, come in, we all cried.

Too Strict.

In Germany, the police regulations are
very strict, and any violation of them is
promptly punished. The people have a
holy terror Of the law. Two gentlemen
happened to meet in Berlin, and the fol-
lowing conversation took place:
"Havs you heard the dreadful news
about Miller?''
"Ne, what is it!H'
Gle was in boat in the river. lie
fell overheard, and was drowned. The
water was toe deep"
Didn't he know how to SWIM

sons are forbidden by the police to swim
