THE CONDITION OF STOCK,

In response to a request for information
rs to the number of steer cattle in New
Mexico, the Stock Grower and Farmer.
published in Las Vegas, has compiled q
report OF the number Of steers and their
General condition, together with the CON
dition of the range and water supply.
The report has been made out with great
care, having been compiled fron more
han 200 letters, and shows the whole mum
Der OF steers in the territory from year
lngs up to be 397 800; ones, 200, 10; twos,
1919; threes up, 66, $50. 1t shows
that the range taken on an average is fair,
only one county being designated az poor.
Water is plentiful III most OF the counties
and cattle are generally in fairly good
condition. With reference to numbers,
San Miguel county is entitled to the ban
ner, having within her borders, 90 900
head. Grant county comes next, with a
total number Of $4,000, while Taos county
county has the smallest number, which
is LOO Santa Fe county is shown
TO have 800 ones, 700 tWOs and
so threes and up. Taking into
consideration the time of year, the
General condition OF the cattle is all that
could be expected. In some places the
range has become very poor from the
lack OF water, while i'll Others sheep have
taken possession of it. Take the terri
;ory as whole the losses have been eX.
tremely light, and while the past season
has not been what might be termed II
profitable one among the cattle men, yet
there Is no complaint heard. The recent
rain, which was pretty general all over
he territory, coupled with the fact that
heavy SHOWS have fallen in the mountain
regions, assures us that there will be an
abundance OF water from now on, and
that everything at present points to pros
porous year among the cattle men.

IT is a matter OF no little surprise that
the secretary OF the interior has declined
to grant right-oi-way through the Fort
selden military reservation necessary Tor
the construction of an extensive irrigation
canal into the Mesila valley. Here is ali
enterprise that would bring under cultlva-
ton so 900 to 100, 900 acres OF choice irult
lands that without water are OF small
value, and the policy OF the government
ought to be one of the most generous en-
couragement rather than one OF obstruc-
ton based, as appears from the limited
information now at hand, upon some
legal technicalitv.

THE Republican central committee
should be called together and a chairman
should be selected There is work ahead
and plenty OF it, and preparations should
be made accordingly. The coming cleo
ton will be the most important ever held
in the history OF New Mexico. The com
mittee should also take into consideration
the question OF submitting the constltu-
ton framed last September to the people
and decide whether or not a state ticket
should be nominated by the Republicans
and voted for in November next. Gentle
men of the committee, it is high tim

premises.

NUMEROUS points OF Importance are to
be discussed at the cattle mems conven-
ton, which began in Fort Worth Thu
morning. The percentage charged by
eastern commission men will be assaileo
by the cattle growers, who are to make o
strong effort to have the system OF charg
ing by the head, now in practice, changed
to charging by weight. Under the presen'
system the rate on shipping car load Of
cattle selling at $50 per head from New
Mexico to Chicago would be the same as
that charged for car load OF the choicest
steers. Chicago insists that there shall
be a fixed rate of SO cents per head on a
sales without regard to value. The west
ern cattle growers prefer to ship at 5,
much per cwt.

THE grand jury repori has SUSTAINED

THE Mesilla valley is pushing ahead with
a vim characteristic OF her enterprlslng
people. The mud age down there has
given place to that o! burnt brick; new
and substantial farm houses are golngup =;
irrigation enterprises are under way
VINEYARDS and orchards are being planted,
and the only thing lacking to make the
valley paradise is better public roads,
In this matter, however, the people are
moving, and a remedy will soon be found

WHEN it comes to mineral and agrlcnl-

to bow to any country. Her resources
are more diversified than those OF any
other state or territory in the union, and
during the year 1890 millions OF dollars
will be expended in developing them.

The Lillian is an old discovery on Walker
gulch, tributary of Ten Mile, but has
never been developed to any extent. It is
situated about ten miles southwest of Hell
ena, and 400 yards from the Rimini rail-
road. The ledge is owned by Jno. s. M.
Neil and 0. +. Schoenfeld, of this city,
and development work is now in progress.
An assay of ore taken from the outcrop
gave returns of $2l.6O in cold. The out
crop is ten feet in width and several hun
dred feet in length on the side of q steep
mountain. It has every indication of prov
ing valuable mine.

Among the many mining stocks in this

the favorite. About $1,000 shares have
changed hands in the last two days. It is a
prime favorite with the ladies. Upwards of
10000 shares were purchased for the Ladies'
Investment society in this city. They evil

to the value Of the property and have been
heavy buyers in open market. Other spec
ulators, who always have an eye open to the
main chance, have picked up number of
thousand shares at what is considered
good bargain. A heavy holder of U. r. &
n. here says he has offered his entire stock
at % cents. The elort to bear the market
has been apparent to many insiders, but a
rise Is expected. Five thousand shares
we're placed in the hands of broker yes

The city council has finally concluded to
undertake the tedious task of going over
tho revised city ordinances, and two meet
ings were held for this purpose yesterdao.
At the most It is monotonous task and at
the afternoon session every member Of the
council including tho mayor was present,
and at the evening session the mayor was

Several changes were made in tho salaries
OF city officers, and under the head Of Lii
oenshs and Taxes some very important
changes were made. Tho council eliminat-
cd every source Of revenue that would prove
. tax upon the laboring man, and even the
poor, handwriting lawyers, physicians and
notaries were relieved of the burden Of Ii
cense. But the corporations will have to
stand what the city has lost in other chan
nels. The saloon keepers had close call,

HE KILLED THE HORSE.
4 Balky Horse Struck on the Head With q
Climb.

Balky Horse Struck OH the Head With q
Club.
An accident happened on the east side
yesterday which no doubt astonished the
chief actor as much as anyone else. A man
was driving horse attached to cart, the
outfit belongingtho James Blake. The
horse became stubborn and refused to
bulge when the driver was ready to go. He
tried mild suasion, but that wouldn't do.
The whip was then vigorously applied,
with no appreciable effect. Finally, be-
coming enraged, the driver picked up
stick and struck the balky animal over the
head. It was not very hard blow, but it
was in the right place. The horse dropped
dead in its tracks. Any man is justi-
fed in getting mad at a balky horse, but he
is never justified in striking horse on the
the head with club, unless it happens to
be trying to eat him, which was not the
case in this instance. A horses skull is
very thin behind the ears and q very slight
blow often proves fatal. It is reported that
Mr.. bake charged the driver with the value
of the animal and discharged him.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The performance of Josephine by Rhe,
and company was again enjoyed by fash.
ionable and enthusiastic audience at Ming
last evening. The strength of the play be
comes more apparent at each performance
The plot seems to lack in bits of briRh,
comedy to relieve the series of trapi,
changes. The Napoleon of Mr.. Harris il
the greatest success Of his stage career. Hi
friends have good reason for believing in 8
great future for his talents. Rhea's Jose.
phine is much better than other characters
in which she has appeared. The exceptional
strength of the company was particularly
noticeable. No better support has been
seen in Helena this season. Josephine will
be seen at a matinee this afternoon and for
the last time this evening.
The next attraction at Ming's will be the
Lester d Williams speciality company. This
organization is made up Of many of the
clever speciality artists in the country. Re-
ports from eastern papers say that the COM
pany gives an excellent performance, Thew
will play at MinQ's on Tuesday and We'd
nesday, the oath and 25th.
The season for the festive circus is at
hand. On Wednesday McMahon's circus
will exhibit at the old grounds, and on July
3 John Robinson's ten allied shows will ap-
pear. John Robinson was running a circus
when Rarnum and Forepaugh were boys.
His show this year is bigger and better
than ever, and has many new and novel
features. 1t will be attended by very
large audiences.

o. P. Chisholm, of Bozeman, gave a
glowing account of the Galiatin Basin in
an interview with reporter for the Inter
Mountain day before yesterday. He says
the Basin is about forty miles southwest
from Rozeman and has never been exten-
sively explored owing to the roughness of
with Mr.. v. E. Tull, the well-known coal
expert, went into the Basin short time
ago and both were agreeably surprised BY
what they found. The Basin is forty by
fifty miles in extent and offers every in
duoement for settlement and the building
of a railroad. The mining camp contains
copper, silver and gold ores and placer
mines of much promise. Besides these Mr..
Tull discovered some fine coal deposits.
About 800 locations of tin mines have been
made in the Gallatin and Madison valleys.
The samples found 50 far show from az to
10 per cent of metallic tin and all feel conf
dent that wonderful deposit has been
found.
