DURING three and halt years Of the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
torial penitentiary there was received
from the labor OF convicts and the feeding
of United States prisoners the sum OF
$500. During the first twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 4 1889, to March 4 1890,
there being about the same number OF
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1890 there was received the
amount of IS, 900, from the same source.
Facts are facts and these facts mean that
the present administration of the terri
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient. and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extravaganza and inefficient.

THE people Of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost Of running the courts
was $160, 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
hclal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto OF that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleye-
land, and owing to JUS, and honest adj
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
swelve months of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
OF deficiency in the pay of jurors, ETC.,
OF about $1,000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico we're Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

should be indicted, tried and convicted,
as other wrong doors are. 1t is a matter
for the sheriff and the courts. We doubt
whether any large number are implicated
in the depredations committed, but
whether many or few, they should be as
certained, arrested and punished, as in
other criminal cases.
But we beg to inform our contempo-
raries in Colorado that New Mexico is in
the United States, that it enjoys the bene-
fit of free institutions, and that we prefer
to be governed by modern civilization
and civil law, rather than go back to des-
potism and the dark ages with their mar
tial law, Expressions" and burdens"

Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-.
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much Of the job
printing now going out OF town should
come to the New MEXICAN Office. There
in no better excuse for sending out of
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing. Our mer-
chants should consider these things. The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper OF this section. The patronage
of the people will enable US to keep it so.

MR., HAGERMAN,s VIEWS OF 1T,

The senate has agreed to the amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation
bill repeating the irrigation provisions in
the bill of October 2, 1888, except that
reservoir and canal sites heretofore To-
Gated or selected shall remain segregated
and reserved from entry or settlement
until opened by proclamation of the
president. The only land in New Mex
leo which this affects is what is termed
the Jemez river basin, lying to the north
west of Albuquerque, and in which Major
Powell's geological survey forces worked
some two years ago.
The repeal of this provision will
meet with more opposition in the house
than in the senate, but as it has finally
to be settled in congress it will probably
be agreed to. The house item appropri-
ating $4,000 for continuance of this ir-
rigation surveys; $4,000 for engraving
maps of the arid lands, and $4,000 for
supplying Major Powell with handsome
ly equipped office in Washington have
also been stricken out by the senate.
The necessity for such action has been
made very plain by the discussion which
has taken place in the senate chamber
during the past week, and the members
Of the house, many of whom evidently
supported Major Powells schemes origi-
nally through ignorance of the wants Of
the people residing within the arid land
belt, have doubtless come to take an
altogether different view of it.
AS indicating the possible results and
the importance to New Mexico if this OBJ
noxious law should not be repealed, it is

that the proposed marriage between the

SCENES OF MOURNING IN
STRICKEN ASHLEY---THE
STORY or THE DISAS-
TER.
Robert Roberts, One of the Com
panions Of the Foolnardy Fire
# Boss, Tells What Happen
.. ed In the Mine After
the Cave In.

WLxEsBARRE, PA. May 20.-It
was a sad Sunday in and about the
borough of Ashley. The terrible
calamity at the Jersey mines which,
ON Thursday last, crushed out the
| lives of twenty-eight sturdy miners,
threw a pail Of grief over the com.
mn uity and plunged hundreds OF
hear M q into the depths Of despair.
In tbe funeral professions no less
than tn enty stricken widows and
seventv oTphans were numbered.
Three d..NYs ago these same were
bapnv and ct,nEented. A long idle:
ness lad only recently been followed
'y by work. n and the Jersey was the
only colIiery IN the vicinity which
wa: ordered to stsvt up. In con.
sequence those employed in tina:
mine were congratu lated aud en-
WED by thousands Of other miners
who saw no sign of returning EN-
ployment for them. The little
homes of the twenty-eight men,
whose blackened, torn and blistered
bodies were brought up from the
dark chambers on Friday, took on a
bright appearance.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Thirty-one men are at work in an
upper vein. Their are four veins in
this colliery, but these thirty-one
miners are not more than 100 feet
below the surface. They are nearly
a mile away from the main slope
down which they passedin the morn
ing on their way to work. The
vein is large and the chambers
roomy. There lis no Inconvenience
in working down there. The big
fan at the breaker supplies them
with plenty Of fresh air, and while
outside workmen are compelled to
labor with the mercury at so and
hot sun pouring down upon them
here i'm these subtsranean vaults the
thermometer stands at 20.
, Presently the men IN the upper
Ilift are startled by frightful echoes
that come laundering through the
dark, honey-combed galleries Of the
enllerv. Their trained ears tell
them what has happened. The
earth has dropped somewhere of in
the distance, and they know that be.
tween them and their means Of exit
an impassable barrier is placed. II

IN TOTAL DARKNESS.
The moment the drop occurred
that made these thirty-one prisoners
down in the Jersey, also plunged
them in total darkness, for every
light was extinguished in an in
slant, and imagine, If possible,
what kind of darkness it was that
surrounded these men. Naturally
they crept toward each other to
council together. As the moments
passed they felt no inconvenience
from the lack of air. This en-
couraged them. They knew we'll
enongh that rescuers would begin
at once and their full dinner pals,
as we'll as the recollection Of the
Sugar Notch rescue Of 1879, when
score Of men were brought out safe
and sound after ten days imprison-
ment In cOlliery there, inspired
them with hope.
Roberts, one Of the two men who
lives to tell the story of that sub
terranean convention, says that as
they became assured that they
would not be suffocated, proposi-
tions were considered as to whether
it would not be advisable to make
the attempt to get out by the way
of an old opening which Fire Boss
Allan, who was among the impri-
soned, said was certainly not more
than ], 200 or l,500 feet from where
they were.
EXPLORING THE DUNGEON.
1t was doubtful suggestion, to
say the least, for their movements
in the direction Of escaped must be
made in the awful darkness that
surrounds them, as each miner
knew that it would be courting
death by explosion to light lamp,
as after all cave ins case accumu-
lates in great quantities and in places
previously considered safe. After a
long delIberation Fire Boss Allen
could enlist only two men, Robert
Roberts and Anthony Frame, to fol.
low his lead and take the chances
With a good.bv to those who de-
clined TO go, the three started upon
their dismal and doubtful journey.
They sought the gangway and slow
lily followed it eTcuitous windings.
Every owrand then they halloed
back to those left behind who re-
piled with encouraging shouts.
After a while, however, they
reached a point where no answering
echoes could be exchanged. For
two long hours the three men
worked their way toward the old
Iopeaing which Allan had reference
to. At last they came TO a point in
the gangway which marked the
foot Of steep decline. 1t had Q
pitch Of thirty degrees and was over
| 200 feet long. Here Allan became
discouraged at the surrounding
darkness. The steep was slippery
land uncertain. BY the aid of a
light it could easily be surmounted,
and once at the top they were with
liz 300 feet Of the old opening and
1.-THE surface. II was worth the yen-
ture, he thought, to tempt fate by
lighting his lamp. His companions
! begged him not to do so, butto quiet
| their fears he assured them there
was impossible danger, anOthe lamp
was lighted.

THE EXPLOSION.

Unhappy inspiration! Like the
roar of 10000 eannons was the aw-
frl detonations that followed. A
vast amount Of gas was ignited by
that fOolhardy act Of one who should
havekncwn better. The fire boss ard
his two companions were knocked
to the ground senseless, but not
dead But like a shot from a can.
non the burning gas flew onward
toward the little group Of twenty
eight, who were huddled together,
waiting and hoping with patience
the music Of the pick overhead,
witch should tell them that rescue
was near.
In the twinkling Of an eye they
we're transformed lntotorn, bleeding
and blackened eorpses. Loaded cars
that stood on the gangway track
near them we've shivered to atoms
and the mules attached to them
roasted alive. II was a terrible
sight TO look upon when, later on,
these mangled remnants of men
were lifted out Of the mine and
borne away to theimprovised morgus
