new MEXICO MINES.
How the Camps Are Booming Under the
Recent Beneficial Legislation.

Correspondence Of New Mexican.
SILVER CITY, n. NJ, Dec. 6.-The pres
ent high price Of silver and lead has given
great encouragement to all our miners
and mining men. Most of the prospec-
tors have new hope, and many are pre-
pairing to do some work on mines and
prospects that have been idle for a long
time. The miners of New Mexico and
Arizona are unanimous in their opposi-
ton to admitting lead ore from Mexico
free OF duty. They are opposed to de-
grading themselves to compete with the
peon labor OF Mexico, which can be oh.
tanned at 50 cents a day in the mines.
Making a little change in the words of
Lincoln "All the miners may be fooled
some times; some Of the miners may be
fooled all the time, but all of the miners
can not be fooled all the time" The
miners distinctly remember that the So
corro, the FL Pasc. the Kansas City and
many other smelters filed the papers OF
that if congress refused to admit "iie i. menus
from Mexico free that they would be
compelled to close their smeters, and
some also declared that they would i'm
mediately remove their entire plants to
Mexico.
Congress just the same passed the tariff
bill compels duty Of l !, cents pound
on lead from Mexico, and congress also
passed q silver bill, and silver at one time
reached 1.22 and lead reached 6 cents
pound. No one has heard of single
smeter closing down, much less OF NOV
ing to Mexico, but on the contrary, owing
to the high price of silver and lead, the
FL Paso smeters are putting in more
stacks, and even the Socorro papers now
tell lis that the SoCorro smelter is putting
in new stack, and hundreds of miners
in New Mexico are now working in mines
that had been idle for years. The miners
are smart enough to know which policy
they prefer.
As Democrat, believing in free coin
age of silver, and rejoicing at the result OF
the late elections in most of the states, !
hope the next congress with its over
whelming Democratic majority will not
lose the great ADVANTAGE gained west
of the Allegheny mountains by admitting
lead from Mexico free, or it will surely
hear from the mining states at the next
election in no uncertain sound.
Silver City, Pinos Altos, Georgetown
and other camps continue turning out
the precious metals. May they so con-
tinue for many years to come.

above the normal, resulting in the warm
est period in that section observed during
the month nf November since the estab-
lishment of the signal service. On the
Atlantic coast, although the month was

There was less rain than usual during

porting an excess Of precipitation for the
month being the middle-eastern slope Of
the Rocky mountains, including Missouri,
Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebraska and
also reported from a number of stations
in the lower lake rgion. Although less
than the normal mount OF rain fell in
the states north Oh the Chic rive and in
the upper Mississippi valley. tne rainfall
in these regions was abundant, generally
exceeding one inch. The month was un-
usually dry throughout the gulf and At
lantic states, over which regions not more
than one-fourth OF the usual rainfall oc-
Cured.
At the close of the month snow was re-
ported on the ground generally through
out Michigan, northern Ohio, northeast
ern Wisconsin, and northern Minnesota.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The weather has been generally favor
able for farm work throughout the prin-
cipal agricultural regions OF the central
valleys. The northwest and southwest
have also enjoyed favorable weather, and
an unusually large acreage of fall blowing
has been completed, and pasturage and
winter wheat are reported as still growing
and in fine condition. A. ". CHIEFLY,

The Indians Petition.

Chicago, Dec. S.-A dispatch from Sis
seton agency, S. d., says: The 200 In
dams on the Slsseton and Waupeton res
ervations are on the verge of starvation at
the opening of winter, because of the
governments failure to furnish them sub
slstence. The interior department has
authorized the expenditure of $4,000 for
the relief of the red men, but upon this
small sum OF money over 1,2U0 men,
women and children must live for u period
of six months OF rigorous winter. This is
less than ! cent day for each person.
Chief Renvile and all the other able
bodied Indians on the reservation have
presented a petition to the government
as follows:
"We appeal to the authorities at Wash
ington and our friends everywhere in the
east to aid us as far as it be in their power.
Unless we are helped in some way, great
suffering and actual starvation will be the
inevitable"

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.

Hans, the Boatman will be seer vt
the opera house again Friday evening
with Charles N. Arnold. for whom the
play vas written, in the title role. Mr..
Arnold has played "Hans'' nth great
success throughout all England, Australia,
New Zealand Tasmania. 1t is a play
that deals in the beautiful feature Of
child life, and yet the romantic side of the
story is OF some interest. MI. Arnold
brings with him a company especially
selected to support him in this produc
ton. including May Hannah and Dot
Frederics.
May Hannah is probably the brightest
child actress on the stage to-day. She is
but 5 years old.and assumes a triple role
in this production, playing three distinct
characters, displaying a versatility won
derful in so young a child. Her dancing
has attracted widespread attention

The Inner was here last August as
the handler of Laramic's feet hose team.
Later he defeated Cockney Sterling in q

pounds heavier and in good condition,
while Jack was out of fix.
Collins was a big figure in the sprint
meeting at Denver last year. He left at

bill was reported. Mr.. Pickett, against
the wishes Of several friends of the bill,
insisted on immediate consideration. The
Burritt amendment was rejected, the bill
recommended for passage and the report
of the committee of the whole adopted by
a vote of Q to IL. but 1t is very likely that
the bill will be referred by the house.
DoUBLE AND ERRONEOUS.
For the special committee on institu-
tons Mr.. Burritt introduced two impor-
tant bills. Here is a brief of each meas
ure:
All counties must pay in full the tax
levied hereafter for territorial purposes.
The governor, auditor and treasurer
shall constitute a board for the adjust
ment of county claims for rebate on ac-
count of double and erroneous assessments
between 1882 and 1889. Settlements
may be opened and t~reasurers interested
shall make statements required. If the
counties Rave overpaid they shall be reim-
bursed, and if they owe they shall settle.
DESIRE TO REcEDE.
The house attachment bill with the
council amendment providing that a cred
itor hight be proceeded against when he
failed to settle an open account due on
demand or when unable or refusing to
meet a note. came up in the house early
yesterday morning. This body, it will be
remembered. rejected the council amend
lei after a big debate last week.
Mr.. Burritt moved that the bill be re-
turned to the council with the request
that the upper branch recede from its
amendment. The mover said be was re-
quested to say that the change had been
made through a misunderstanding and
that the council desired to withdraw from
its action.
NEW BILLS.

A report that there has been a large
area of gold. bearing country discovered
in the Laramie range, in Wyoming. nat
urally awakes interest among most Colo
RADIO mining men. The new discovery is
at the headquarters of Sheep Creek,
Little Laramie and Labonte. Gold rock in
the lode claims assays 81. go at the sur.
face and increases in richness with the
depth attained. A number of prospect
tors went there last November and worked
until the snow drove them out, but viii
return in the spring. The ore is in large
bodies and can be probably worked on Q
large scale, like Black Hills ores art
worked by the Homestake company.
Quite a stampede is expected.
