then If these prove that injustice would
be done or that the law is faulty and can
not be carried out without violating the
letter aud the spirit OF the treaty obga-
tons, regarding these land claims, relief
from congress will be obtained much
easier.
The New MEXICAN is of the opinion
that the court, as at present constituted,
will carry out the spirit and intent OF the
act and of the solemn treaty stipuations
between this country and Mexico, made
and entered into at the time OF the formal
cession of this territory to the United
States, in a spirit of fairness, justice and
equity to all concerned. 1t should not be
presumed, that the court is here to
find fault, or to be captious, or to want too
much, or to interpret the act too strictly,
or to be too technical quite the reverse.
1t may safely be assumed, and We be-
lieve time and the courts decisions will
bear us out, that the court is here to do
even handed justice aud to adjudicate
these land claims and titles in full &C.
cordance with the obligatiors laid upon
this government by the treaty of Guada-
lupe Hidalgo and the law of nations, in
conformity with the provisions of the act
creating the court, literally interpreted,
and in accordance with the principles Of
equity and fairness.
The sooner the court 8 dock ct is crow ded
with business and the sooner decisions in
land grant matters are handed down the
better for the people and for every man
who owns or claims any right, title or in
terest in Spanish or Mexican land
grant,

HE couRI 0E PRIVATE LAND CLAIMS.

The court of private land claims has
commenced business; it behooves attor-
neys and land grant claimants to file
their cases and give the court something
to do. For twenty years the people Of
this territory have clamored for settle
ment of the Spanish and Mexican land
claims here; the time is at hand for
such settlement and prompt advantage
should be taken of the chance.
1t does not stand to reason, that con-
gress will amend the act creating the
court OF private land claims, until its de-
fects are discovered in actual practice.
Therefore cases ought to be filed and
some authoritative rulings should be had

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

The people of New Mexico are fast be-
ginning to see that terrible mistake was
made by them last November by electing
a lot of White Caps 10 the legislative as
sembly. They are beginning to under
stand that the faulty legislation of the last
session is due to the White Cap-Demo-
cratic majority in the house Of represen-
tatives of the Goth legislative assembly.

In this matter Ohio stands for the
Republican party, aud its action will be
justly taken as voicing the sentiment of
the whole organization. In no way can
Ohio Republicans do so much to honor
that state and strengthen the party as by
re-electing Senator Sherman. If they
need the advice of the party at large he
will be kept in the senate by the unani-

The National Cemetery at Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe New MEXICAN believes
that it is hardly possible that the govern
ment will ignore the appeal that has been
made to re-establish the military cemetery
connected with old Fort Marcy as ma
tional cemetery. The remains of 500
soldiers are buried there. Many OF them
are Mexican war veterans. Many OF them
fell in the battle of Valverde and Apache
Canon, from the ranks of the Colorado
First, and others belonged to the volun-
teer regiments of New Mexico and to the
regular army. "It is hallowed ground"
says the New MEXICAN, made so by the
dust of as brave a set of pioneers, volun-
teers in the service of the nation, as ever
carried a knapsack. The friends of those
who are inferred there and those who are
yet to follow have right to hope and
expect the national government to care
for this place as it should be."-Denver

Protection in Germany.

According to report prepared by the
British embassy in Berlin, Germany has
no reason to regret the adoption of the
policy of protection. The report says:
The number of work people in Germany
has increased about 5 per cent each year
since 1882, and is now estimated to reach
100000. Since 1888 a general rise in
wages has taken place in most industrial
districts, amounting to between 10 and %
per cent, while the cost of the necessaries
of life has decreased"
1t is no wonder that the industrial in
terests are emphatically opposed to any
interference with tariff that has done SO
much for the country in securing the Ger
man home market for German working
men. New York Press.

Some Profitable Gold Mines.

IDAHO CITY - The old belt on
the west side of Boise basin is attracting the
attention of capital this year, and the
chances are that some sales will be made in
the course of a few weeks. Experts have
been examining the mines Of the Gold Hill
Company, and the Belshazzer and Eben-
ezer. The Gold Hill 25-stamp mill has
run constantly on ore from the Gold Hill
and Pierce Mines for q years and each year
has been one of large profit. The Ebenezer
and Belshazzer are locations west on the
same belt, and the former has yielded
largely; but, as transportation and
reduction in a custom mill was expensive,
no ore from it has been crushed during the
past few years. Should sale of these
mines be made, mill will be erected on
either Canon or Fall creek, and the ore con-
veyed to it by trainway. Like the mines of
the Gold Hill Company, the ore is not high
grade, but found in immense bodies, and
can be mined at a merely nominal cost
Milling will also be cheap, as there is
abundance of water and timber handy.
This belt can supply sufficient ore to keep
several large mills busy the year around.
The Washington is opening up sloping
ground on a lower level and increasing the
force of miners. The mill will resume
crushing in a week or 10 days. There is,
abundance of rich ore in the ore houses.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH1
New YORK, May S1.-The following re-
ports from the leading mining centers of the
West have been received:
SAN FRANCIsCo-The Hogsback Mine on
the Forest Hill divide placer, in which the
channel Golden River was supposed to have
been struck last December, has been closed,
and it is said that no work will be done for
a year The mine is owned by French
company, which also owns several other
drift mines and tunnels on the same divide.
The reason for closing the Hogsback is not
given. The company has had some bad
luck in its American ventures, its first pur-
chase being the Sucker Flat Mine, which
had been worked out long before and then
salted for the benefit of the Frenchmen.
The experience with American promoters
cost the Frenchmen about $500, 900.
The Kelly Mine, about II miles from So
nora, was bonded some months ago by an
English company, and the development has
proved so satisfactory that the sale has been
completed The Pittsburg Mine produced
S12 900 worth of bullion last month, which
left balance of $1,000 over working ex-
penses.

A Rich Gold Discovery.

VIRGINIA CITY-A two-foot vein on the
fifth level of the Mt. Diablo Mine is yield
ing enough $40 ore to keep the mill running
steadily. Consolidated California and Vir-
ginia are hoisting the usual amount of S3S
ore. In the northwest end of the Washing
ton Mountains, which skirt one side Of the
Paprump valley, party, headed by George
Montgomery, have discovered gold-bearing
quartz They located several leads, some
of which contain galena and sill
ver-bearing ores. but all rich in
gold. The lodges are from five
TO ten feet wide and the mineral belt in
which the lodges are situated is at least six
miles long and from one to two miles wide
4 new district, named Montgomery, in
honor of the diseoverer, has been organized,
and there are about 100 men and one woman
in camp. Water is carried in bags packed
on donkey's backs four miles from the near
est springs. Nut pine timber, good for
fuel, is abundant within four or five miles
of the mines, and white pine, suitable for
timber, abounds about 20 miles from Mont
gomery. The nearest postofice is Iyanpah,
Cal, so miles away, but postofice will be
established at Montgomery in few weeks.

Big Operations in Progress,

William Sweet has the double compart-
ment shaft on mine at the head of Big
Muddy, this county, down to the depth of
over 200 feet. He will sink it 400 feet
further, in order to satisfy company nego-
tiating for the property that it is a good
mine Thirty stamps of the Elmore mill,
at Rocky Bar, have commenced crushing,
and the other 20 will drop in few days.
The 1O-stamp mill belonging to the same
company will start up in a few days.
These mills have been idle for nearly a
wear TO give the miners a chance to open
the mine at greater depth and place it in
condition for the rapid extraction of ore.
The Reeser mill, in the same district,
will soon crush 100 tons of gold ore
for the Ophir. This ore was extracted
last winter by lessees. Some very rich
mines have lately been discovered in a new
district in Latan county, North Idaho,.
called Ruby, and for which deputy re-
corder has been appointed. The ore is lead
and carbonates, carrying a large percentage
of silver. Within the last three weeks many
rich lodes have been discovered and located.
One of the claims, called the Silver King,
which is rapidly developing, yields richer
ore as depth is attained. At the depth of 30
feet drifts have been run Is feet each way,
with no signs of walls. The assays range
from SIC 80 to SIS 6S per ton. Considerable
platinum has also been discovered, and min
ing for this valuable metal will be carried
on as soon as preparations for work can be
made

A Home Refining Furnace.

SILVER CITY-A refining furnace is con-
structing at the Flagler works here, and
will be in operation within 80 days.
Although New Mexico has produced many
million dollars worth of metal, none of It
has ever been refined in the Territory, and
most of it has been smelted in smelters ont
side. A large part of the ore produced in
the Territory is milling ore, but the concen-
trates produced from treating this ore are.
for the most part, shipped to Ell
Paso or Colorado for reduction, and
the mining industry of the Territory
has been hampered for want of adequate
facilities for handling ore Shipments of
ore from Deming are increasing and there
is every indication that the mines In the
southern part of the country are in better
condition now than ever before. One firm
at Deming shipped eight carloads OF ore last
week, all of which was high grade smelling
ore. Although the American Mine, which
was the largest producer at Hachita, has
been closed down, there have been other
discoveries made in that camp and at
Apache, nine miles distant, which will keep
up the production of that section.

Preparing for a Boom,

The Carpenter district, near Georgetown,
is receiving considerable at ention just now
and town site has been located, in antici-
patton OF the coming boom. 1t is likely to
become as important a camp as Kingston,
which is situated on the other side of the
range and but few miles distant. Man
ayers are having considerable difficulty in
getting the teams to haul ore from Pinos
Altos to this place. As high as 81 per ton
is being paid for haul of about nine miles.
The Pacific Gold Company has been getting
ore hauled until very recently for 81 60 per
ton, and the mine produces, on an average,
of teams is caused bv the temporary
employment of large number by the CON
tractors on the new railroad. The mills at
Pinos Altos, which usually have to close
down during a portion of the summer on
account of scarcity of water, will have no
occasion to do so this summer. There has
been an unusually heavy fall of rain this
year, and the mountains are full of water.

which was lost on Luconna Rocks while on

On April %, during thick fog, she ran
broadside on Luconna Rocks, and in half an

vessel were full of water. Two lifeboats
were launched and the crew, 26 in number
put off safely, losing, however. ali their
effects. The boats stood by until the vessel
keeled over, when the Captain gave orders
to pull away. The boats became separated

A Famous Bullion District.

TUCsoN-The Yellow Jacket is q great
mine. Ore is plentiful, and it takes only a
few men to keep the mill in ore. The Orc
Blanco mining district viii in the near fu-
ture become famous for its production of
bullion. The numerous ledges are being
successfully developed. The Turquois is in
very healthy condition. Bryant has struck
breast of ore in his tunnel, and is in about
200 feet He struck the ore about 100 feet
sooner than he expected. The assays show
an increasing value as work progresses. The
first assay showed eight ounces of silver, the
next day 20 ounces and the day following 30
ounces of silver per ton.
Development work goes on only in the
Silver Bell AT fair estimate, there are on
the dumps at least 10000 tons of 25-ounce
ore, which will not pay to ship and must be
worked on the ground. With reduction
works in operation, Turquois will be one of
the best camps on the Pacific coast. Work
has entirely ceased in the Silver Bell, pur-
chased last September by an English syndi-
cate, owing to bad management. They had
a fine prospect and every indication of fine
piece of property, but from the want of
mining knowledge they worked out all in
sight and then refused to spend any more
money.
