The SUGGESTION FOR A CLUB.
Business Man Hints at Possible
Clever Plan for Carrying 1t
Into Effect,

81 was pleased to note in last evenings
New MEXICAN suggestion relative to
the organization of business mems club
in Santa Fe," said prominent citizen
this morning, and added: "Santa Fe
has need of such an organization, viewed
from any standpoint. OF course We
couldn't 90 in for 1000 club house,
nor any such extravagance as that on
borrowed money; but we could, in my
Judgment, establish now the
nucleus OF an organization that would be
of great benefit to the town, and would
grow and prosper from the very start
believe that fifty men can be found here
who will pay $25 each admission fee
into such club, and say monthly dues OF
$3.50 per month. This would afford suf-
fcient capital to start the ball rolling and
after the organization and the establish
ment Of the club the admission fee
could be raised 80 as to materially
increase the revenues. AS to club apart
ments, believe Mr.. Webber would lease
the two upper floors OF his new block on
very reasonable terms, and no doubt he
would alter his plans to give the club just
what it wants. Besides, there would be
some fifteen rooms in the second
and third floors OF this block
which homeless men would no doubt be
glad to rent because of their
modern conveniences and proximity to
the club parlors, reading room, billiard
hall, ETC., for of course no club would be
attractive without these necessary ad-
juncts. The sooner the business men of
Santa Fe can be brought together on this
proposition, the better, and l hope the
New MEXICAN will not permit the club
idea to lag until general expression of
public sentiment is had on the subject"

AMONG The MINES.


To the Editor OF the New Mexican
WHITE OAKS, Jan. 20.-I have been
knocking about among the miners in
these parts some OF late and find the
people enjoy and heartily approve OF the
editorial point recently made by the New
MEXICAN on the modesty of New Mexico
regarding her mines as compared with
the way they shout up in Colorado when
few inches of mineral are exposed.
The White Oaks and Nogal mines never
looked so we'll as now and they are yield
ing good times to the community.
Before long railway line is to con-
meet this camp with the famous Cerrillos
coal district, San Pedro and Santa Fe,
and the richest piece Of country on earth
will then begin TO climb to that position
in the public mind which it is unques-
tionably destined 20 occupy.
Mr.. John Y. Hewitt, now in Santa Fe,
has just shipped to the Denver mint a
mill run on the "Old Abe" mines ore.
The Lady Godiva shows up five foot of
extra high grade gold ore just struck by
Mr.. B. Fl. Dye. All three of the gold
mills here are running, and when the
South and North Homestakes work full
forces again, as soon intended. there will
be about 200 miners at work here.
Great excitement prevails here over the
extra rich silver strikes of high grade ores
made at La Luz, Bonito and Three Rivers,
thirty miles south of White Oaks. The
ore runs over $l1 900 to the ton, but part
of it is in the Mescalero Indian reserva-
ton. However, the miners will soon
open it up.
e. w. Parker has just made pheno-
rich strike i'll the Helen Rae
mine at Nogal, ten miles from White
Oaks; 400 pounds Of the rock panned
out 500 in gold and the vein is six feet
wide.
White Oaks now has a bank, money
order post office, good express line, six
large stores, two newspapers and should
be the county seat, being the natural
trade center of this vast and rich region.
Yours truly, A MINER,

Railway Notes.


A new railroad from trinidad south,
down the immense and fertile Pecos val
ley, would be worth millions to Colorado
and make Trinidad large city.--Denver
Republican.
A travelling man said to-day that there
could be no doubt about the Santa Fe
roads rush of business; that be had trav-
eled from the Pacific to Chicago and back
within the past three months, and was
satisfied that the cause of the delay in ar
rival Of trains so generally complained Of
is this over-rush Of business. He added
that several miles Of double track would
doubtless be butt this spring to make the
work easier.
A new time table on the Santa Fe,
which will also regulate the running Of
passenger trains on the Atlantic & Pacific,
is likely to go into effect, next Sunday.
The heavy SHOWS throughout the west,
have not at all seriously retarded traffic
on the roads thus far. This is unusual,
and is accounted for on the ground that
there has been less wind this winter than
ordinary.

A Point In Politeness.

An old man who was tired was resting in
a corner seat of horse-car. All the space
on both sides was occupied by ladies, some
of whom were sitting sideways and oc-
cupying enough room for two people.
When q lady entered the car the old man
got up and said, with great courtesy :.
Madame, / dislike to give up my place
while 80 many of your own sex are, depriv-
ing you of seat, but you are Lady and
ly sat closer together, and two or three
people were enabled to find places TO rest.
This remark many people will say was
brutal. especially as IL was uttered by
man. But was it? Was it not proper.
even in so public vehicle as horse-car,
for this man to rebuke those who didn't
have sufficient courtesy TO be as polite to
one of their own sex as they would de-
mand that man should be to them, espe-
cially when the rebuker, an old man, was
made TO suffer personally because others
didn't choose to exercise common-senseI
The question that presents itself is this:
Was IL better for him as gentleman to
eiye ND his seat quietly. without word or
a look to betray his feelings, and let these
ladies continue to occupy space they were
not entitled to and didn't pay for. to the
discomfort of others, or TO incur the risk
of being voted brute by those he courte-
ously reminded of their breach OF pro-
priety? -,
and opinions of their own sex, is IL strictly
inst for them TO complain of so-called
breaches in decorum on the part OF men in
a matter of this sort. where one sex Is quite as
much bound to have regard for the rights OF
,ts own members as for those of the OPP
nosite sex? 1t may DO urged that this was
an example of thoughlessness, and prob:
ably it was, but it is Just that sort OF
not guilty OF. 1T is the little foxes" says

courtesy, real politeness, has but one stand

Tho side-wheel steamer Havana. for
many years running on the York
River Line, has been sold, and she left
Woodall's ship-yard at 1915 o'clock yes
terday morning for New York. The Ha-
vana was purchased from the Potomac
Transportation Company by Heinrich
Schroeder, Claus and Johan WEIGHT, of
New York, to be run as an excursion boat
out OF New York to the fishing banks.
The proc 10 said to have been S15,-
900. Havana, although old,
is in every respect sound, the
best material and workmanship hav-
ing been used in her construction. She
was built ct Greenpoint, n. Y. in 1860, by
John English, to run outside between
Philadelphia and New York. She was soon
afterwards sold TO run in the Gulf of
Mexico, between Cedar Keys and New Or
leans. In the latter part of the sixties the
Havana was bought by Dir. Thomas Clyde
for the York-River Line, and the price paid
was 100000. The Havana ran regularly
on the line until about two years ago. She
first had, as her consort, the steamer
Louise. Mr.. Ruben Foster, the general
manager of the line, seeing that vessels
with heavier freight-carrying capacity were
needed, had the steamship DanvIlle built
at Woodalrs.
The company was 80 we'll pleased with

afterwards built. The Louise had been
sold to the Colchester Company. and the
Havana was laid OF as q spare boat. About
eighteen months ago another fine steam
ship was added TO the feet. in the Char
lotto, and the line had no further use for
the Havana. A short time before the
Charlotte was completed the company was
offered $4,000 for the Havana, but it was
not q case of money, and she was held as
an emergency boat until the Charlotte was
tied up at the mammoth docks and ware

The Havana was transferred as an extra

ELECTRIC PLANTS.
Many Cities Moving Forward to Get
Them.
fQaId ara HsrafdI

In Baltimore comparatively little atten-
ton has been given to the city,ownership
of an electric-hghting plant. The subject
is looked upon as an interesting one, and
as having q practical bearing upon the
economy of lighting city streets, but as
vet 1t has attracted nothing more than a
desultory and tentative discussion. The
matter is referred 10 now and then by city
officials it has also furnished inspiration
for few addresses, and few Baltimore
writers have elucidated the topic IN the
newspapers here and elsewhere.
Mayor DaVidson's reference to the sub
iect in his last message was the most seTl-
Gus effort that has been made to bring the
matter forward as O practical issue IN Bal
timOre. In short paragraph the Mayor
favored the municipal ownership and con-
troll of an electrical lighting plant, and
urged the feasibility Of the scheme upon
Grounds of economy and progress. 1t is
clear that this short statement has given
the subject q prominence which it did not
before possess.
But. while this matter is only in pre-
Iminarv stage of agitation in Baltimore,
the same cannot be said Of it elsewhere.
In Chicago three electric-lighting plants
are owned by the city and are in active ope-
ration. Two of them were built IN 1890, but
the three saved the city S31 900 in cleo
IrlC llBLIs ldoO gCoif uHN -h"y " - 80 -
clares that not only electricity, but gas
should be manufactured by the city, not
only for its own needs, but for private citi-
zens as well. "Chicago supplies her citi-
Zens with water. She provides channels
for drainage. and ii is equally proper that
she should furnish her citizens with light
for household purposes as we'll as for pub
lie use." From this it will be seen that
the problem has passed even beyond e1-
pertinent in the Queen City.
In Massachusetts this subject was made
a matter of special investigation by the
Committee on Manufactures of the Bay
State Legislature. A vast amount OF tes-
timonv was taken, and 1t was finally made
clear that an enabling act ought to be
passed empowering every municipality IN
the State to acquire or establish Its own
Gas and electric plants ct the pleasure OF
its citizens.
In Richmond the city owns gas-plaut,
and while it has not yielded large revenues
over and above expenses, yet the munich
pality secures street-light at cost, and the
revenues are increasing at the rate OF
$4,000 q year. Mayor Ellyson, in his re-
cent message, declares his confidence In
the utility of the plan, urges reduction
in the price of gas. and states that the
success attending the gas experiment war
rants the immediate establishment Of an
electrical-lighting plant by the city.
From these facts it will be seen that the
municipal ownership of light-producing
plants is a subject winch will bear investi-
cation, and the question of adopting
Schemes similar to those in Chicago and
Richmond will be before the people here
for decision in the early future.
