If l knew they would be interest

Big Mining Deal.

Reference has alreahy been made in
these columns to the sale of the Alham-
bra mine, recently negotiated by that ex-
cellent gentleman and leading mine at
torney, Hon. II. L Pickett, of Silver City.
The Mining and Scientific Press, of San
Francisco, has this to say on the subject
Of this transaction:
Probably the most important mining
transaction in southern New Mexico dur
ing the present year is the recent sale of
the Alhambra mine, in the Black Hawk
district, eighteen miles southwest of Silver
City. fhis mine was the property of
Miller & Dodd. H. L. Pickett, esq, at,
torney OF Silver City, negotiated the sale
to some Chicago parties for 100000,
which was paid in cash. The purchasers
have organized stock company with
sufficient capital to push the work with
vigor, which they propose to do. There
is no doubt but that this mine is well
worth the price paid. The ore is high
grade silver with considerable amounts of
native. In its present state it will pay a
handsome dividend on the amount in
vested, and when more fully developed,
tile new owners will reap rich harvest
At the same time, the sale is fortunate
one for the former owners, as well as for
this district, for, with the ample capital
OF this new company, We may look for
greater developments than could have
otherwise occurred.

A Advertising Santa Fe,

Mr.. f. T. Webber, the Denver man
who in company with Mr.. Papa, of
Rawlings, Wyo., recently purchased the
Probst tract evidently has made up his
mind that Santa Fe will do to tie to. He
has just ordered 800 letter, heads printed
and on the back of each sheet are these
facts of interest relating to Santa Fe:"
Santa Fe has an elevation of 1000 feet
above sea level.
1t is the capital city OF the rapidly
growing territory Of New Mexico.
1t possesses the finest climate on the
globe.
1t is the center of the richest fruit coun.
try on the continent.
It is surrounded bv the most valuable
deposits of mineral and cCal in America
1t is the natural distributing point for
the products of the Rio Grande valley
and is destined to become the greatest
health resort between the oceans.
Mr.. Webber's idea is to convey to his
correspondents just enough information
to inspire them to ask questions. 1t is
an excellent plan for advertising Santa
Fe and her wondrous undeveloped re-
sources.

"The Sunshine State.o

Some months ago, Boston publishing
mouse, preparing geographical work,
after asking information of Gov. Prince
on various points connected with New
Mexico, inquired as to its pet name,"
as, in treating OF each state, they had
placed in the pictorial headings these
familiar names, as "Granite State, ""Bay
State" Empire State" etc.
In his recentannual report the governor
refers to this fact and says:
81 had to answer that New Mexico was
not yet possessed Of pet name,' nor
conld one be adopted except by common
consent; but | ventured to suggest that
as it had been called the land of per-
petual sunshine no more appropriate
name could be found than The Sunshine
State" And 20, for wider circulation,
that may elicit comment and show how
fully this meets the general thought |
repeat the suggestion here, for no part OF
the union, by its climate aud cloudless
sky, is so fully entitled to this name of

Settlers Starving.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. l9 1t is useless
to longer attempt to conceal the fact that
in several western counties many of the
settlers are in starving condition. Some
time since Gov. Thayer appointed several
well known gentlemen to investigate the
situation. They visited several counties
and report much destitution. Their estl
mate is that there are in each of these
counties 5000 people who are nearly or
quite destitute. The crop failure was
nearly complete. They have little cloth
ing and only shorts and corn meal for
food. Fuel is very scarce and without
money it is difficult to get enough to keep
comfortable. They have no corn-cobs
even. After mature delberation the rail-
roads have agreed to furnish coal at the
cost at the mines. They will haul all the
way free and the mines are from 2OU to
500 miles distant.

Another Sensational Dispatch Claiming
the Purcha.e Of Stotk.

CHICAGO, Nov l8.-An evening paper
publishes the following sensational dis
patch from Kansas City:
1t is learned here that Jay Gould has
secured controlling interest in the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. Last
week it was announced that one of the
Gould boys was admitted to the directory
of the Atchison. 1t Is known that last
Way Gould secured at least one-fourth Of
the Santa Fe stock, and since that time
he has been gathering in all that was
offered at low enough prices. Barring
brothers, the bankers, who are now in
such bad shape, have been largely inter
esteu in Santa Fe holding, and it is be-
lieved by many persons that that stock
h ~ been one of the milstones that has
dragged them down.

A Paper that Deslikes Col. Dwyer and

SPRINGER, N. NJ, Nov. 17.-J. w.
Dwyer, who was appointed county COM
missioner by Gov. Prince, has just re-
fused to allow couple of printing bills
against his county, although the statute
provides that the county shall lpay said
bills, and he always gets the New MExI-
CANS bills through very promptly. The
bills were for stationery furnished by Las
Vegas firms for the district court and the
superintendent of schools of Colfax coun-
ty, and had the O. X. of the proper Off
cials. Perhaps Dwyer wants to make
the people believe he is looking after the
interest of the county since they have
been kicking against the bill of $633 50
which, in June last, he allowed doctor

To the average citizen it seems that
there is manifest injustice in COM
pelling well-behayed and lawabiding
taxpayers to contribute to defray mu-
nicipal and county expenses, while the
fell destroyer with his whiskey-den
may with impunity increase these eX-
penses out Of all proportion by making
paupers and criminals and Gripping
the productive power of the honest
mans patrons by taking their time and
money. And that all this should be
in open defiance of the law To us
there seems to be something rotten
about the officials-local and county.

regard to maintaining order. 1t is
an almost every day occurrence for
such gang to disgrace not only the
name of the village but common decen-
cy by their scandalous conduct. Every
body knows that Sunday as well as
weekday disorder and drunkenness is
overlooked as though it did not exist;
and officers sworn to faithfully dis
charge their duties openly and deliber-
ately disavow their obligations.
