Surely and not very slowly The
clmp's stock is going up. Some
well known and shrewd mining
men 1.-TWO especially, whom com
mon report calls the mining kings
of the next decade) are keeping a
good watch on our neighboring
mines, and very little better show
ing, especially in the lower work
lngs, would convert our camp from
its present status to a point hardly
dreamed of by most of our readers.
But we want to say once more,
what we have repeated many times,
that our good ground is not lying
around loose, ready for the first
man who will take the trouble OF
locating it. Thereare men in this
town, working for days wages,
whose property on the hills cannot
be bought by any tin-horn capital-
ist that wants it. 1t takes money
to buy mining property here just
as much as it does anywhere else.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
AStat. men: That fae Work VIII Begin
At Once.

New York, Februery 20.-The
news of the assage of the Nicara-
qua bill was received with much
satisfaction at the Office of the Me
aragna Canal Construction Compa-
nv. which has taken the contract ot
constructing the canal for the Mar
itime Canal Company of Nicaragua.
A Representative of the former COM
pany said
awe will begin work as soon as
we can close the contract we have
now and make other necessary ar
rangements. There will be no dl-
plomatic difficulties, as treaties
have been concluded between the
United States and Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, allowing the construc-
ton of the canal. The total dis
tance from ocean to ocean at MICA
raoua is l66 miles, of which fifty
six and a half is by lake, eighty
one and half by river and basin
navigation, leaving only twenty
eight miles of actual canal The
estimated total cost of the work by
the surveying expedition Of 1883
was S50,00O,000, and sl5,0OO,O00
for contingencies, making 500, ,000,-
600. 1t Is said that the whole work
can he completed SO that the canal

Santa Fe, n. NJ, February 2l.-
T. +. Chisholm, representative OF
the government in charge OF the
collection of coal aud iron statistics
fof the Rocky Mountain States and
Territorie J, was in the city to-day
en- route to Denver, having COM
pleted his inspection of the camps
of this Territory. He puts the coal
output of New Mexico for 1883 at
a little more than 10000 tons, an
increase of 30 per cent. The heav-
lest producing camps are Bloss-
burg, Gallup and Los Cerrillos. He
finds the iron industry of New Mex
leo in very promising condition,
vast deposits of a superior grade OF
iron having been opened near Ger
rillos and Lorleta, in this county,
and also in Grant, Lincoln, Colfax
and Mora counties. Cleveland (O.)
parties, headed by the Cowles
Bros, have organized a furnace
and rolling mill company. They
have secured interests in Il number
of iron mines in southern Santa lie
county, and contemplate the erec-
tion of furnaces, probably in the
midst of the anthracite coal fields
of Cerrlllos.

Hill will start up during the pres

this district have been consolidat-
ed. Recent developments in the
Potosi and Copper Glance mining

riches. A party of several gentls-
men left Silver City last Saturday
to examine the properties OF Cap
tain Cooney on Silver creek in the
Mogollon mountains. Negotiations
have been pending for the pur-
chase of these mining estates by an
English syndicate, and the report
and examination of these proper

ly result in their purchase and com
plete equipment, and be the direct
means Of stimulating mining enter
prises in other portions of this rich
mineral bearing range.
1t is reported on good authority
that the Good Hope mine, in Black

tory to the active resumption OF

The day after the bal masque,
the following lines were picked up
from beneath the piano;
Oh woe is me for the champagne

The bottles are bare Of aught but air
And my head, most fills the room.
Oh come to the lair of the grizzly bear,
Where he gnashes his teeth in velvet
sheath
And the cubs all play in wan wierd way
And the mad magnolias bloom.
Or the great green gods with their gilded
rods
In the temple, stare at the vacant air
While we bow the knee to old Ching

none the less true because of its ans

pecially so. 1t is almost amusing
to note how men are much more

the white heat of indignation over
events, which if they were merely
personal and private affairs, would
be dismissed with shrug of the

How to Keep Warm.

1t may not be generally known that
when exposed to severe cold a feeling of
warmth is readily created by repeatedly
filling the lungs to their utmost extent
in the following manne Throw the
shoulders well back and hold the head
well up. Initiate the lungs slowly, the
air entering entirely through the nose.
When the lungs are completely filled
hold the breath for ten seconds or longer
and then expire it quickly through the
mouth. After repeating the exercise
while one is chilly, a feeling Of warmth
will be felt over the entire body, and
even in the feet and hands. 1t is i'm
portant to practice this exercise many
times each day, and especially when in
the open air. If the habit eyer becomes
universal then consumption and many
other diseases will rarely, If ever, be
heard of. Not only while practicing the
breathing exercise must the clothing be
loose over the chest, but beginners will
do well to remember in having their
clothing fitted to allow for the perma.
nent expansion of one, two and even
three inches which will follow.-North.

off after it, while the father sighed over

The following editorial from the Chey-

estimated by our fellow Mississippian,
Mr.. Edgar s. Wilson.
"Owing to the great stress which Prc. c.tdent
Cleveland has put upon his much vaunted
land policy, and the want of confidence
shown toward the west by land Commissioner
Sparks, the position of land register has at
tracted more attention and called forth more
criticism than all of the other Wyoming ap
peintments combined Edgar =. Wilson
who was early appointed by the PRECEDENT to
this responsible office, has carried out his in
structions to the letter, and stood the fire OF
the opposition press with remarkable equin.
unity. If he had been more lenient he would
have more friends in Wyoming
"The Sun is willing to concede that Regis
enne land Office his earnest and undivided
attention. and that he possesses unusual abili'
ty for such difficulties as must be daily en-
countered in the land department., but ne
might have been less strict in carrying ou
the instructions he received from We Jhingtot
because he was on the ground and could sec

nection with the Governors o4ice. His
communication, vigorous, str;Sght-ior-
ward and strong, is characteristic. Ills
action, however, will cause his friends
keen regret, for there were many oithem
who have firmly believed him to be the
man OF the hour. The State OF Ml'sls'

is, indeed, the very opposite, with an
intellectual strength and force possessed
by few public men in the State. He is
capable of rising to the height OF a
statesmanlike consideration and solution
OF social or political question. Wen
poised, firm and sincere, indecision, vac
illation and hypocrisy have no place
or force in his action. He is man who
would have given distinction and indl-
viduality to wise and brilliant admin
istration of high Office.
With DR.. Peoples as Governor, Miss

advanced beyond her present stand. de
would have impressed the course OF at

have infused into the current OF State
life much of his quiet but intense zeal
enterprise and determined spirit, ano
would have managed business with
talent that would have brought prosper
ity and satisfaction, and removed doub
and discomfort.
