HILL is deeper than most men give him credi. for being. The New York Herald thinks that it has discovered his plans. It says:
 "The reason why he wanted the State Convention to meet on the 22d of February is plain. Heaven only knows when the silver question will hob up in Congress. Like Bonquo's ghost that is problem that will not "down." The senator is bound to vote and he is pretty sure to vote for free silver. If before that emergency arises he can manage to get the New York State delegates pledged to him it will remove from his path very se,iozs obstacle. On the contrary, if he should thnk it necessary to say faye" on the silver bill before the convention can be held, he might excite serious op- position in this section. It is a shrewd move on the senator's part, but not even the seventh son of a seventh son can tell wii.; i.l happen in American politics during the next six months

 Delegate Smith, of Arizona, has introduced bill in congress to repeal the clause in the alien act which pro hibited foreign money from invest ment in mines or gold, silver, Head, tin, cinnabar or copper, of any interest therein" The bill has been favorably reported in the house and is now on the calendar. Delegate Joseph oi New Mexico, is working actively to secure the passage of the bill, ana re- ports the outlook favorable for the same becoming law. It would be much more satisfa, tory to the people of the southwest to learn that a bill to repeal the entire alien law had been presented and favorably reported. The operations of the law are seriously retarding the development oi many sections of the territory.

A Rig Cattle Deal.

A Kansas City press report of the 9th inst says: The largest cattle sale made during the past week was closed yesterday by L. A. Allen X Co, com mission merchants of this city. By this deal they sold 1000 head of cattle for the Naddingham Bell ranch com pany to Ryan Bros. of Montana. for $I17, 900, to be delivered May 1st at the northern line of New Mexico.
 This is by far the best price paid for range cattle during the past three years. as 5000 head were but 2-year- olds and brought $l5 per head, while the remainin g 1000 were rated at sI9 per head.
 These cattle will be driven from their range in New Mexico to the rich pastures of Montana, distance Of 500 miles, at cost of less than 50 cents per head, as by May list there will be ample pasture along the trail.-Sun

A SUBSCRIBER wants to know how we arrive at the conclusion that the government sells its silver at 1929 per ounce. The solution is as easy as rolling off a log. There are 37li grains in a dollar and there are 4S0 grains in an ounce. If 37li grains bring 100 cents, 4SO grains bring 1929 You can divide dollar by 37l4 and find the value of one grain, and mul- tiply the value of one grain by 4S0 grains, and the result is 1929. Or an easier way is by proportion. 37l4 100 ::4SO:-Multiply the means together and divide by the extreme and you have the other extreme which will gIve 1929 as a result. Now do not lose sight of the point that they bought 400, ,OO0 ounces last Satur day for 90 cents an ounce and that they sell this ounce Of silver back to us at 1929 per ounce, making a profit on each ounce of approximately 39 cents, or, on the 100000 ounces they made $l56,OO0, which was a pretty good days work.

A Beautiful Country to the South of US-A Truth full Description of a
 Most Beautiful
 Land,
ZAPoTLAN, Estado Ge Jalisco,


 ED. PRosPEcroR We took the sad dle at Colima just as the day was breaking on the 2d inst, with a moso as a guide through the Barancas and pine forests of Jalisco. The morning air was crisp and bracing. Three hours ride at a brisk pace brought us to an elevation of some fifteen hundred feet above the city of Colima.
 We turned in our saddles to take a last look at the old city of cocoas and coffee plantations, and the sight was impressive. The white domes and steeples of the old cathedral and pal. ace were beautiful contrast to the dense yerdure of towering cocoas and ash surrounding the city, To the east nestled at the foot of the Volcano de Colima, could be seen the sugar hacienda "San Marcos" stretching far away to the northeast in terraces as nature had provided it. Those ter races were all filled with sugar cane, and through them flowed beautiful, clear and cool mountain river from the Ice Volcano, and forests of pine fringed the estate on the south Broken chains of mountains ran one after the other, and between these ranges lie beautiful uncultiyated d Val leys with redundant supply of water for irrigating purposes. In this vicinity still can be seen the cacoa from which the chocolate is extracted, planted here in years gone by, by the Aztecs, who used to ship this choice product to their chief Montezuma as tribute
 From this scene we pas around the foot of the volcano and halt at a thatched cottage for rest and refresh- ments. Having no bread or vege- tables at hand we were served with honey and milk. Witnessing all this grand scenery was like drama, and our impression was that we must surely be in the "Holy Land" where the "milk and honey hox."
 The Sd of February brought us to the city of Zapotlan, and as we entered the suburbs, a strange ana weird sight met our gaze. Zopotlan, contains some 30,OO0 people, principally In- dians. Some 300 people, all Indians, were parading the streets with bright banners and iestoons, followed by a curious crowd of spectators. Curious followed in the wake and entered \ a large patio where we behe!d strange sight. Bulls and mounted horsemen, formed of wicker work and covered with tissue paper were stationed about, while boys carried some of the bulls perched upon their heads, going about and locking horns with each other. Next came dashing through the crowd an immense bull on one oi the Indians heads. At signal the torch was applied to his bullship and a thousand firecrackers were exploded, completely riddling the paper bovine, making an awful explosion. Next followed the music of wind and string instruments, and dancing in Indian style. By special invitation, your humble servant joined with the so- called belle of the ball, took several whirls over the tiled floor to the soft strains of lute and harp.
