RICH TURQUOISE MINI.
New Mexican Mountain Which Contains
Gems in PFOfuSion.

| Gems in Profusion.
One Of the very few turquoise min es
on this continent is situated neal
Santa Fe, N. M. 1t was worked
profitably during the time of he Span
ish occupation of NV Mexico, and
when the Spaniards were driven out
of the country the Pueblo Indians tried
to efface this surviving monument OF
their conquerors tyranny by filling
up the shafts of the mine to the top
with the rock that had been dug out.
Seven years ago New York company
bought the property from its Mexican
owners, who were doing nothing with
it, and began to clear out the shafts,
intending to resume the workings and
flood the market with turquoise
They cleared two Of the shafts to
the bottom, and were beginning
to excavate the tlled-in tun-
nels when their money gave out
and they were unable to continue the
work. They tried to raise five hum
dred thousand dollars to develop the
mine and failed. and then they adv T.
tised the whole property for sale.
Now it seems that Boston company
is about to take hold of The mine with
money enough TO see if it really has
the turquoise in it that tradition credits
to it. Edward w. L. Wilkes was in
the city recently, returning to Boston
from Santa Fe, where he has been
looking at the mine. II am certain
that the company will buy the mine,'
said he to reporter. "My report
will recommend it as good invest
ment The mine is in mountain
which is still known by its M,xican
name of Mount Chalchuiti, and it is
about mile from the mining camp of
L % Cerrillas. On my first visit to the
mountain found lot of Pueblo In
dians cropping about in the heaps of
rubbish on the dumps by the two
shafts, looking for stray bits of tur-
quoise. They all wore strings around
their necks, on which hung one or
several pieces of the most beautiful
and truest-colored turquoise l ever
saw-the genuine greenish- blue COM
bination. / tried to buy some of these
pieces. but the Indians refused to sell
at any reasonable price the pieces |
wanted, and l could get only one or
two pieces of inferior color. A ter that
visit I got Mexican interpreter in
Santa Fee and drove out to visit some
of the Pueblo towns near by, where /
found out that all the turq uoise The
Indians wore had come from this mine.
The Indians tell the most remarka able
stories about the wealth that has been
taken out of it, and the people of
Santa Fe say that one piece of tur-
quoise from the mountain now holds a
place among the crown jewels of
Spain. After that | examined the
mine and the mountain very closely,
and I am satisfied tn at we can find tur-
quoise in quantity sufficient to return
handsome profits if we start to drift in
on the mountain from the side OPP
positc to the old workings. The tur-
quoise lies in chalky formation, but
it is found in deposits all through the
and not in = vein. st.

TRE Article, nails, is in itself complete
RECITATION of the monopolist's argument
that if tie thrift is to 1ched ruin and disas-
ter will de- csnd on the cDuut'y. There i
a pretty high tariff on nails, aad any nail
manufacturer will tell you that rot a cent
Of it is needed. Why? Because there is
no trust in nails end consequently there is
free competition and we make nails cheaper
in America than they can in England,
although EoglaRd pays much lower wsges
Ifthere were trust in this article, IS there
is in almost everything else that is highly
protected, thers would be howl from every
member Of the trust that to take O quarter
Of cent of that tariff would shut up all
the nail mills.
1t is only the trusts that are hit by the
Democratic measure Of tariff reduction, and
thsy are hit hard as they deserve to be.

NEW YORK IA SAFE.

The Eighty New York Herald has taken
to Publishing sensational little cards f ou
its correspondents 10 the State purporting
to give the "rtal truth" about New York
''ahOvs the b;idge." 1t seems to us that
this is ~ acknowledgement that the Herald
has been lying all along. Ard if it has
been how are we to determine that it is
telling the truth now?
The Herdld's most sensational prediction
is that if the Democrats are not eMe!ul in
the State HARRISON may come down t.
Harlem bridge with 8 plurality Of rocco
The Republicans themselves claim 10
more than this. Very well. Taking this
extrems figure the chances are ten to one
that the Democrats will carry the State
They are alive IS they never was before 10
New York City. There is an increase of
$4,000 over 1881, in the first two days
registration in New York City. Two
thirds of this increase must
be Democratic, because all Ie-
turns show that there are three Demo
Gratis in New York City to every Rspubli-
can. Half of such gain as this weuli be
sufficient 10 wipe ont q larger Republican
plurality in the State than 10000.
Now that the very worst has been ssi !
about New York we feel more confident
than ever that the Empire State will cast
her thirty-six electoral votes for her great
s,n, GROVER CLEVELAND.

1--WE have great faith In Indiana, less faith in

They need only one ofthe three doubtful States,

THE sCHRMuNa Is THE OTHER
WAY.

The Iateuigencer spsaks Of its "recent
exposure" Of 'the Democratic scheme to
iusugurats an Independent movement"
among the colcred voters Of this State.
This, like all of the Iatelligeneer's talk, Is
basel on nothing or on lie. The Inteli-
qsseer's exposure" ss IL calls it, has
nothing 70 do with the Democratic party
or the Independent colored movement, 1t
consists Of nothing but few letters frem
DemocratsrTasiag to comply with the re-
quest from one LASMAN, co,ored man OF
Charleston. LASMAN hiss no connection
with the Iuds pendent colcred movement
and he cold the letters Of there Democrats
to the Republican managers, who thought
by these slender neaus to establish in the
minds of colcred men suspicion that the
Independent movement was Democratic
scheme.
There are tbs best reasons in the world
for believing that tie whole STAIR was
precopcerted, either on tbs part Of Lam
MAN to make money By the sale OF the
letters, or on the part Of the Republicans
themselves, who used LANMAN as tool
to discreditthe Independent eo'o'ed move
ment.
LANMAN tried during the colored mems
convention at Charleston to get on the in
side of the movement, but he was not al
lowed in the convention. He has no con-
nection with the new party and no
authority to speak for it, Yet, as we see,
he wrote to Democrats as one Of its prime
norers. 1t seams to us that this is the bes
evidence in the world TIA. lie wrote either
on his own responsibility with view to
Sc lug the replies to the Republicans, or
az the teiest Of tie Republican mapagars
themse'vss, and that the IateHigencer's
exposure" is fraud, in lire with the old
bulldcz ng policy of the Republican psrty,
the party Of sec.ionsliam and intolerance,
which would, fro n shesr hate, perSecuts
all Who have the manhood and the indie
pendence ID break away from its corrupt,
biie-bound.a and narrow minded policy.
The replies written by Democrats
to LANMAN show on their face that they
had no more knowledge Of, or hand in, the
independent colorsd movement than the
R-p1blican ms nagers themselves. In every
instance, if we remember rightly, they re-
fused the aid asked by LANMAN, retura-
ing simply courteous and formal replies to
his letter. An again if they had had any
ioside knowledge or if the move nsnt had
been Democratic scheme they lrould hare
kao,rn that LANMAN had nothing 10 do with
n.
Ia fact the closer the mstter is Looked
in'O the more clear il becomes that the In
teiiigeneer's very thin exposure" is
scheme of the Republican managers to
throw discredit on the new movement, as
they do on sll i1depsnds nce that loses
them votes, and to asperse the character of
the brave and intelligent cclorsd men who
refuse longer to b, packhorses of the Re-
publican party.

There is scarcely q prominent Republi-

twenty years from 1855 to 1885 when that
party was mainly responsible for the fiscal
policy of the government, did no. commit
himself in favor OF tariff reduction and
against tbs repeal of the tax on whiskey
and tobicco. It i, only since the people
of the United States in their wisdom have
deyoivsd the responsibility of revenue leg
lation upon the Democratic party that
Republican leaders have changed their
