Pull of Balloons.

One of the youthful sons of the
Emerald Isle, in Lovelock, is DESTROYS
of starting daily paper in that town.
As the young man has plenty of
brains to back the scheme, there can
be no doubt but he will make vet
eran editor in a short time, with the
aid OF Messrs. Paste and Shears. Ii
the plan could be consummated, the
lad would take Associate Press dis
patches, and that alone would be
quite an item. But to man up 4
tree, Paul, it looks as though any
person who would attempt such an
undertaking, looking at it as we do,
pessimistically, in these dull times,
was full of balloons.

The Mongolians Making Extensive Prep.
arations to Celebrate it.
The New Year of the Chinese comes
on Friday, Jan. Goth, this year, and
everywhere preparations have been
made to observe the day. The extent
of the celebration, as regard magni-
tude and duration, depends upon the
funds of the Celestials. If they have
abundance, the feast continues at
pleasure for month, but should
times be hard only two or three days
are given to the festive occasion.
The Irresistible Chinese lilies seem
to have bloomed at the proper time
this year, and to the heathens signi-
fly a year OF prosperity. His royal
highness, the Emperor of China, who
has seen but seventeen Summers,
may find it agreeable and convenient
to call in some of his good near neigh
bors to assist him in the uxorious du-
ties of attending to and entertaining
his one hundred and eight wives, up
on that greatest of all days to them,
China New Years. Speaking of
wives, it strikes us that one is one
too many to say nothing of one hum
bred and eight. In the language of
Shakespeare, CANCELS and ministers

Mexico. The elevation of these agrl.
cultural lands, from $500 to 5000
feet, secures a climate exempt from
the extreme heat of the river valleys,
and insures luxuriant crops of grains,
grasses and vegetables. The same
conditions enable them to produce
the finest favored hardy fruits pro-
duced in the southwest. No such
apples or pears are produced south of
Michigan as in these mountain val
legs.
The scenery of Switzerland is tame
in comparison with that of the Mes
calero reservation. Description fails
to convey an idea of the mingled
grandeur and beauty of the surround
ings. At one moment the eye is de-
lighted with secluded valley having
I'LL the delicacy of outline and seduc-
tive charm of rural scene in Devon
shire; at another, mind and heart are
almost oppressed by the savage gran
deur and majesty of the great White
range; now the vision is limited by
the bounds of a fragrant mountain
nook, scarce large enough for hun
ter's camp, and again has no limits
but the Llano Estacado on the one
side or the peaks of the Mogollons
on the other-Lincoln Republican.

THE PLETHORA OF MONEY.

Money has never been in such
plentiful supply as it is at present,
not only in all the leading cities of
this country, but at all European f.
nanclal centers as well. As a matter
of fact il can be had almost for the
asking, and for some time to come,
as 1t has been for some time past, the
borrower will he able to dictate his
own terms. Here the rate for tenn
porary use is below per cent. In
London it has fallen to per cent on
call and is lending as low as 1919 of
per cent for as long a period as
three months. The bank of England
rate is down to 2 per cent, below
which it never reduces, and there is
talk that the bank of France will be
compelled to reduce its rate very
shortly. Such condition is unheard
of. 1t comes, too, at a time when
there is no pressure to sell stocks
here as was the case in 1884 when a
steady liquidation was going on.
The liquidation which followed the
Barring failure in London in Novem-
Der, 1890, has ceased, and there is no
pressure of stocks upon that market
of any sort, and the supply at both
centers is not large.
There is but one way for this vast
piling up of available money to be
utilized, and that is in the purchase
of American stocks and bonds, which
time and circumstances have proved
beyond question are the safest and
soundest securities to be found any
where. The process may be slow
one, but it is as sure to come as that
the tide GIBBS and flows at regular
intervals. We see at home how
steadily the smallest demand lnfu
ences prices in the upward direction,
and all cable reports, both of public
and private character, concur in stat
ing that an era of speculation is fast
approaching in London, theI first evil
dence being an improvement in
prices of South American and local
securities. That it will soon reach
the stocks and bonds of our railroads
there is no reason to doubt.-Wall

ore bodies of the famous "Hopeful,"
or Parsons mine, at Parsons City,
and thence TO the great six-foot lode
of the "Greenville," on the northern
edge of the reservation.
The opening of the reservation
means the exploration and develop
ment of this gold belt, incomparably
the most important in the south
west, for a distance of thirty-fve
miles, which is known to continue;
and means the addition of incalcu-
liable wealth to the resources of New
Mexico, and the country at large.
A section of this gold belt at White
Oaks, less than a mile in length, is
already producing and shipping gold
to an amount in excess of a million
year. More than one such camp can
be developed within the limits of the
present Mescalero reservation.
The agricultural lands of this res
ervation are beyond comparison with
the most valuable unoccupied lands
in New Mexico. 1t is not too much
to say that the Elk Spring canon, on
the east side of the tract, with its
side tributaries, is capable ST sup
porting a population of 10000 in
comfort. Lands of surprising fer
tility are cut by Astounding streams
of pure and sparkling mountain
waters; the hill and mountain sides
are scanned and fortified by iRnum-
eIa e springs, shaded by mighty
fore tsof magnificent timber, clothed
with carpets of the richest and most
nutritious grasses.
Unnumbered hooks in these
mighty mountains offer homes to
from two or three to twenty famil-
les, surrounded by advantages of
soil, water, game, air and climate,

OPENING OF THE MESoAIERo REsERv-
ALTON.

We are glad to note the fact that
the Indian department has finally
granted the petition of the Mescalero-
Apaches for the allotment to them
of their lands in severalty, and that
the necessary surveys preliminary to
the allotment have been contracted.
1t is important, however, that the
pressure should be brought upon the
department of the interior, that it
may be induced to hasten its pro-
ceedings, to the end that the opening
to settlement may take place not
later than February, 1893. Farther
delay would amount to the delay of
year in making the desirable lands
of this tract available to home
seekers.
The reservation includes, in round
numbers, 5ls, 1000 acres. OF this but
$4,000, at the utmost, will be neces-
sary to satisfy the Indian allotment.
Therefore, at least 446, 900 acres will
remain for disposal under the public
land laws.
On the west side of the reserva-
ton mineral discoveries have already
been made. Copper and silver-lead
ores of high grades exist in large
quantities. The great gold belt of
Eastern New Mexico is known to
extend south through the reservation
along the mighty TANKS of Sierra
Blanca. The importance of this
belt can be understood when it is re-
membered that at its northern end
lies the rising gold camp of the
Jicarilla mountains; that ten miles
south of that lies the White Oaks
gold field, a bullion-shipper for
twelve years Eight miles still far.
Their south on this belt lie the vast
ore bodies of the Vera Cruz group in
the Ticson mountains; and that three
miles still farther south begins the
system of lodes extending from the
famous Helen Rae, south, by the
American, Grover Cleveland
and Cashier; past Nogal canon
and Nogal divide, to the giant

ton found that owing to largo in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum-
mer months to build another factory,

ranged for the construction of new
building of dimensions 60x140 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filed with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 600 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other

dered man, was president Of the Board
Of Public Works, ex-Grand Master Of
Masons, and q leading Democratic
politician. Garrison was member Of
the State Board Of Health, City Health
Officer, and also leading Democrat.
The first trial resulted in verdict
Of murder in the second degree. A
second trial was granted on the grounds
that members Of thejury had previously
expressed opinions.
An interesting question to lawyers
is to be decided. GafFison's counsel
plead that he cannot be tried on the
original Indictment, as the first verdict
practically acquitted him Of murder in
the first degree. They hold the jury
must be instructed to only bring in 4

New YORK. April 2S.-Men with
great faith IN human nature and with
surplus cash assisted Mr.. j. Edward
Simmons, receiver Of the American
Loan and Trust Company, to get rid
Of some of the old securities which the
officers of that company had foisted
upon it.
An idea of the manner in which
President O. d. Baldwin managed the
company's affairs may be gathered
from the fact that fifty blocks Of secur-
tiles, whose face value was 81, O35 500,
were sold to-day for GAG, 491, and yet
it was generally admitted that the auc-
tioneer had obtained very good prices.
Mr.. Simmons said that, the securi-
ties sold were the collateral deposited
by persons who had received loans
from the obliging president, and who
have since failed to repay these loans.
