ASKING FOR TROOPS.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. IA Re
public special from Deming, N. NJ,
says: A petition, numerously signed,
has been sent to the commanding
officer at Fort Bayard, so miles north
of Deming, asking that, in conse-
quence Of the recent troubles in Chi
huahua, battalion of troops be sent
to Deming to remain there in order
to protect the citizens against the
predatory excursions of small parties
of the Mexicans mentioned. 1t is
true that many Mexican excursionists
are crossing to this side, and it is
believed that Sais and his band of
immediate followers are among them
and preparing for another assault on
Mexico similar to that which Sais
recently led against Ascension. Citi-
zens of this vicinity are greatly
alarmed by the appearance of the
Mexican outlaws.

TO PROVE GRAVES INNOCENT.

CHICAGO, jan, 1.-THE story told
in San Francisco by Joseph Woods,
who claims to be Pinkerton detec-
tive to the effect that he has discover
ed evidence to prove the innocence of
DIR. Graves, recently convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Barnaby in Denver
is discredited at the headquarters of
the agency here. Assistant Superin-
tendent Murray says Wood is not
and nevershas been in the agency's
service,and points to the fact that the
evidence against Graves was worked
up by the Pinkertons as showing
that they are in the employ of the
other side and could not be hired to
clear Graves.

SAN PEDRO, Jan. 10, 1892.
A season of extraordinary activity
is pretty surely in sight for Cerrillos
and San Pedro. AS very many peo-
pie in Las Vegas are largely inter
ested in mining properties in those
localities and also a number in the
town site of San Pedro, this is a mat
ter of considerable significance to
Las Vegas; especially when taken in
connection with the fact that Las
Vegas merchants, if they are active
and watchful, can easily do larger
business at both those points than
eau the merchants of either Santa Fe
or Albuquerque. During the past
year qui@ development work has
been going on in the LincoIn-Lucky
mine at San Pedro, which has placed
that mine in condition to ship con-
tinuOusly fifty tons of ore per day.
The copper smelter is turning out a
car load of copper bullion every two
days, two Huntington gold mills are
in operation and new copper plant
will soon be erected. AT Cerrillos n
100 ton smelter will be put in blast
this season.
The recently organized railroad
company, incorporated to build a
line from Cerrillos to San Pedro, is
composed of men possessed of ample
capital to do the work, and they in
tend to commence it within the next
60 days. The Las Vegas people who
are interested in mines atSan Pedro,
and especially in the town site, need
not fear that they have been wise
much before their time. Yours,
WATCHFUL.

"WE are in receipt Of copy of
the Commercial club illustrated sup
plement to the Las Vegas optic 1t
is masterpiece of the printers art,
the illustrations are artistic, the send
off it gives 4.as Vegas is worthy of
the optic, but it only devotes two
small paragraphs to the mineral re-
sources of San Miguel county. This
is a mistake. Some day the people
of Las Vegas will discover that the
mica, iron, corundum, coal, alum
shale, clays and possibly copper,
lead, zinc and silver deposits sur
rounding them and so long neglected,
surpass in value all of their agricul-
tural, mechanical and stock interests
combined. In the mad rush of pros
pectors in 1S79-e0, the northern por-
ton of New Mexico, including San
Miguel county, was overlooked.
The hour is dawning, however, when
the intelligent prospectors will re-
trace their steps to a section that
possesses very promising cropping
veins and the important auxiliaries
of abundant water and timber sup
plies. ."-BulIion.
This is not the first time Prof.
Longuemare has called the attention
of the people of Las Vegas to the
fact that they are in mineral belt

absolutely nothing to develop it.

CHILL GETTING READY.

WASHINGTON, JAN, 1.-THE re.
ported preparation of the Chilean
Government for war, though lacking
official confirmation IN all details as
yet, is viewed with deep concern at
the navy department. The reported
shipment of torpedoes through Mon.
tevideo to Chile has had the effect
of warning the naval officials that in
the event of war they are to be met
by foe armed with the best modern
weapons. Where unmistakable prep
arations are to be discerned it is said,
such as the reported dispatching of
a fleet of three cruisers and a tor
pedo from Valparaiso under sealed
orders, which was reported from
Chile through private sources yester-
day. 1t is the prevailing opinion at
the navy department that this feet
is bound for the straits of Magalen,
which may be regarded to certain
extent as the gateway to Chile. A
comparatively small number of well
armed vessels advantageously placed
in these straits, could in the opinion
of naval experts, hold that import
ant passage against large fleet. 70
be sure, this would not necessarily
prevent the ultimate rounding Of
Cape Horn by AN American squadron
bound for Chile, as two day'~ steam
ing at most would carry the ships
into The Pacific by an outside route

The callfor the Republican con
vention to elect delegates to the ma
tional convention will not specify
the number Of delegates to be chosen,
but will leave that TO the judgment
of the convention. The Republican
is in favor of making the number
six, the representation we would be
entitled to as state. Previous ma
tlOnal conventions have established
precedents under which we can rea-
sonably and logically demand ad-
mission for them. and this paper is
in favor of the Republican party Of
this territory demanding every posi-
Bile right or recognition for New
Mexico.-Rio Grande Republican.
After the six delegates arrive in
Minneapolis and are informed that
only two will be admitted it may be
a good deal of question as to which
two. AS we called attention week
or two ago, the circumstances under
which Dakota had six delegates were
entirely different from what they are
in New Mexico now. Dakota had a
state government all organized, and
under that organization was entitled
to six members, while we are not
organized as state, and may not be
for some time. We think two dele
gates all that will be recognized.

concerned, as a sinking fund for the
redemption of the debentures, are
provided for, and at the close Of each
period of FIVE years the accumulation
of funds paid on sinking fund ac-
count shall be applied to the redemp-
ton of the debentures. AS fast as
redeemed treasury notes of an equal
value shall be withdrawn and can.
celed. In default of payment, the
government shall have right to
levy direct taxes upon all of the
property, personal and real, belong
ing to or found in the defaulted state
or territory.
Senator Dolph explained, on intro
ducing the bill, that it was not drawn
by him, but 10y a gentlemen who has
given much attention to the subject.
The author of the blll-Judge J. w.
Gregory, of Kansas-claims for it
that it offers the means of solving
the problem of the reclamation of
arid lands most completely, in the
shortest possible time, at the least
cost, under all the benefits of local
self-government, whether the public
lands shall be ceded TO the states or
not, and in such manner. that people
now occupying arid lands may be
the first ones benefited, as they ought
to be; and that the benefits of such
reclamation will accrue most largely
to owners of small tracts of land, and
to subdivide the reclaimed land into
small holdings rather than to aggre-
gate it into large bodies under syndi-
cate ownership; that it will, Incl
dentally, increase the volume of cur
rency of the country in a perfectly
safe and healthful way, not leading
to hasty initiation or injurious specu-
lation, and that the securities will
not be burden upon existing prop
erty, but will be safely based upon
newly created real values.
Under the provisions of the bill,
not more than 100000 of the cur
rency provided for could be issued to
a single state in single year, nor
more than a total of SlO,OOO,OOO to
any one state or territory. The ad-
ministrative charge of per cent,
with all payments on sinking fund
account for the redemption of the
debentures, makes the entire expense
OF such currency to the beneiciaries
range from 2 to 3.3 per cent per an
mum to discharge both interest and,
in due time, the principal. The bill |
not only does not appropriate any |
money on the part of the national |
government, but its operations would |
create revenue instead. 1t neither
favors nor conflicts with the move
ment to cede arid lands to the states
and territories, and is applicable to
the deserted homesteads and barren
lands of the eastern and southern
states as well as to the arid areas of
the west

A short Talk On An Important
Subject.

Work at Murray Hill, as everywhere,
has been obliged to pick its way slow.
" through the backward Spring.
Notwithstanding some back sets ON
account of the tardy season, some re-
liable and promising progress has been
made. Fine blocks of tempting grass
have been scattered over the future
home lots, preparatory to building ;
material has been collected, more or
less grading has been done and parti
cularly the opening of Franklin street
has brought the lovely sites of Murray
Hill into close communication with
the city. Mr.. Melvin is pushing BUSH
ness and inquiries for lots are of daily
occurrence. Very many of these choice
sites will be taken this season. Pros
pectors will do well to complete their
selections before this Summer, as u
great rush is anticipated. The South
gate mansion will soon be erected and
others will quickly follow. Now is the
time to take hold of these invest
ments as large profits will develcre in
course Of the year and those who buy
now will get the benefit of future im :
movements. We cannot speak too
highly of Murray Hill property. It's
advantages must be recognized and
recognized at once by all who will
walk over the ground and carefully
note them. Don't let the opportunity
slip away from your hands. Secure
some Of these valuable lots before the
best are sold.
