mess before the convention was the
presentation of candidates for vice

Hon. Whitelaw Reid. Hon. Horace
Porter, of New York, and Governor
Buckley, of Connecticut, seconded
the nomination. Mr.. Kearney, of

ENGLISH COMMENT.

LONDON, June 1.-THE St. James
Gazette says it is matter of indiffer-
ence to Englishmen which party in
America is in power, since both cater
for the Irish voters by occasional
rudeness to Great Britain. Presi-
dent Harrison, following less adroitlY
Mr.. Blalne's example, carried braga-
docio to absurdity in the Behring sea
negotiations until it was found in
vain, when he dropped it and climbed
down. So much for Republican
courtesy, but almost the last act of
the late Democratic cabinet was to
insult the British representative at
Washington.

AT WASHINGTON.

WAshINGToN, June l2.-The STIR.
ring interest shown at the capitol
yesterday at the outcome of the choice
of President Harrison for second
term by the Minneapolis convention
was in striking contrast to the air of
peaceful serenity and quietude which
prevails throughout the building to-
day. AS neither house was in ses-
sion and mono of the committees held
meetings, there was no reason for
the law makers in either chamber of
congress, and except for the presence
of four or FIVE members in the house
writing letters at their desks and a
few members and pages ON the floor,
the building was almost deserted.
An attempt was madeFto continue the
census Investigations, but as mem
bers of the committee seemed adverse
TO attending this morning nothing
was done, ,iand the only members who
were present adjourned themselves
and left the capitol.
Las Vegas free press. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1891-1???, 1892-06-13

The following resolutions of the
Minneapolis convention are of great
interest to New Mexico:
We favor the admission of the re.
naming territories at the earliest
practicable date, having due regard
to the interests of the people of the
territories and of the United States.
All the federal officers appointed for
the territories should be selected
from bona fide residents thereof and
the right of self government should
be accorded as far as practicable.
We favor the cession, subject to
the homestead laws, of the arid pub
lie lands to the states and ter
ritories in which they lie, under such
congressional restrictions as the dis
position, reclamation and occupancy
by settlers will give the maximum
benefits to the people.

SIDNEY DILLON.

Sidney Dillon was born so years
ago in Northampton, Montgomery
county, New York, of parents re-
Gently from Ireland, and very poor.
When years old Dillon found work
as water boy on the first railroad
ever constructed. His salary was 81
per week, and he saved part of it and
kept on saving all his life. He be-
came overseer for railroad contract
ors and then contractor himself,
and as such helped to build the Union
Pacific railroad, of which he after
wards became president. AT one
time he was worth $l5,OOO,000, but
lost half of it when Union Pacific
went down in 1884. He was a di-
rector of most of the principal rail
roads of the country. He was rather
peculiar in his manner and tastes
and was uot very well known by
sight to the public. His wife died
in 1888. He leaves several grand
children. His nephew, ex.Judge
Dillon, is one of Jay Gould's legal
advisers.

B1AINE's ADVICE.

Before he left the city, Mr.. Blaine
gave this communication to the Bos-
ton Journal:
"The resolution, energy and per-
sistence which marked the proceed
ings of the convention at Minneapo-
lis will,if turned against the common
foe, win the election in November.
All minor differences should be
merged in the duty of every Repub-
lican to do all in his power to elect
the ticket nominated today.

as unworthy of notice, but the conditions
which prevail in Dixie differ fronl those
of other districts. and after all, the char
acter .efthe quartz il immaterial 30 1t
carries the gold. And according to the
old adage: gold is where yon find it."
Hard and unpromising as the character
Of the matrix in Dixie district may be,
yet it is sober fact that ii carries free
gold in paying quantities. As to the
concentrating properties of the sul-
! phurets and their value per ton we
know nothing at present. The red ores
are concentrating propositions and ac-
,tual test can alone determine their
worth.
The next ledge visited is one on
which the Buster crew and the editor
have three locations. The outcrop Of
this ledge shows on a spur of the noun
tain range which forms bluff enclosing
a meadow on Crooked creek. A placer
claim was once located by Tom Demp-
ster who built a cabin on the ground
which yet remains. The ore is the pre-
vailing red quartz. The ledge Is wonder
fully strong and we'll defined and at in
tervals along the $500 feet located the
outcroppings are very bold. Good
prospects were obtained from all these
locations. but owing to the lack of de-
velopment nothing is known as to their
real value.
Dixie district is an Independent wa
ter shed which drains intoSalmon river.
1t Is due east of Florence. Rhett creek
and Crooked creek are the principal
streams. Crooked creek Is the first
stream of any importance to put into
Srlmon river on the north side above
Meadow creek at the Wire Bridge. The
mouth of Crooked creek il about midi
ways between the mouths of the middle
fork and the south fork on the south
side. This would place Dixie district
on geographic north and south line
with Alton district. The topography of
Dixie favors the Warrens basin very
| much. There is the same low rounded
rolling hills, growing the same species
of tufted deer grass and covered by the
same growth of young black pine. The
timber in Dixie is however Of not more
than 20 years growth, and in some To-
calities there Ia not even q tree of size
that could be used for mining timbers.
This feature is confined TO the basin
proper, for the enclosing mountains are
dense forests Of fine timber. Dixie is a
fue country to prospect in. The gentle
slope of the hills and the open character
Of the timber make 1t easy to travel
around, and water, grass and game are
abundant. The lodges are all below
the old placer diggings. We estimate
the altitude of the Dixie quartz belt to
be thousand feet lower than Florence.
The small veins run east and west and
dip to the south. The large vein runs
north and south. The formation Is
quarizite, granite and porphyry. On the
whole, We are well satisfied with the
interests acquired on the trip, and our
observations convince us that q great
and promising field for the prospector
exists in that region which is well
worthy of exploitation. In fact. the
more we see Of old Idaho county The
more We are satisfied that the possible
ties OF making fortunes within her
boundaries are greater than in any other
part of these United States.

than any of the present workings.
There is said to be over So 600 worth of
ore on the dump. and ore recently
shipped to the Silsby smelier at San
Francisco paid good profit. As an i'm
stance of The difficulty and expense of
working mines without transportation
facilities Mr.. Davie tells of abe number
of times this shipment had to be handled
before reaching the railroad. 1t was
pack eJ to Graneevile, Il distance of 60
miles, thence to Lewiston IS miles, and
thence by steamer to Riparia, over 100
mile, or about 225 miles by primitive
conveyance at a great expense.
q. &. Parkman, a capitalist from Ana
cortes, and one of the principal owners
OF the California mine on Gold Hill was
recently in Elk City. Speaking of the
lack of transportation facilities he is re-
ported to have said Like others who
are investing good money in bottled-up
mining camps. l think 1t the duty of the
county TO provide roads for the trans
portation Of ores and machinery"
Asked about the future of Elk City,
Mr.. Davie said: II believe when this
country is opened up and gets railroad
communication it will rank with some
OF the largest ore producing countries.
Some years ago low-grade gold propo-
sitions could not he worked to advan
tage. Now, however, science steps in
and shows how to treat these ores at a
profit. We also have modern machin-
cry with which to produce the precious
metal at u minimum cost. Ten or if
teen years ago when the placer miner
had to depend on his pick and shovel
and roughly constructed sluice box. a
claim had to be rich to pay expenses.
About the future of the country 1 can
only say that everything looks favor
able. Foreign capital is coming in and
considerable Spokane capital is also in
vested. Some old miners think well Of
the different properties. and one man
named Pat OHara was particularly
jubilant. He said: 'Elk City will be-
second to Butte; the bodies of quartz
are so large that when worked they
must give employment to large mum
Der of men, With the placer mines
they will give so much employment that
large town must spring up. Once rail.
roads commence to be extended to this
camp mills will be built"
