ClttIe Notes.

The Clayton fall races will be
held on the 24th and 25th of Nov
ember. Purses to the amount of
$500 are offered.
Reports from Sierra county are
to the effect that very heavy
rains have fallen all over the
range in that section. The water
holes are all full and the country
generally was soaked.
In southern San Miguel county,
and along down the Pecos, last
week the heaviest rain in the past
seven years fell, and there is now
nm abundance Of water TO utilize
the little grass there is ON the
range.
The measurements of All Ok
which Col. 5ingefly is having fed
for the Worlds Fair are as fol-
lows' length, 12 feet; around the
body, IL fiji head, s ft. 3 in.
Weight at the time these mcasure-
ments were taken, 3,S4O lbs. 1t is
expected that he will weigh 1000
lbs. by the time the Worlds Fair
opens.
The department of agriculture
sent out list of questions to sew
eral hundred correspondents in
every state and territory, asking
replies. One of these was, "What
is the percentage of loss of sheep
il. your locality from dogs7" The
returns, carefully tabGlated, gave
a result varying from 4 per cent
in Texas, Kentucky and Delaware,
to s per cent in South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Mississippi.
DR.. F. w. LSeward, the we'll
known head of the Inter-Pines
homes for invalidsa at Goshen, N.
Y, has just organized the Chico
Springs Ranch and Resort Co,
and will make the Dorsey place in
Colfax county, a western branch
of his New York institution. The
extensive ranch will be devoted TO
sheep raising, in which business
DIR. Seward recovered his health
in New Mexico some sixteen years
ago. The company is incorporated
under the laws of Colorado, and
the officers are: President, s. w.
Dorsey; secretary, I. w. Collier;
treasurer, D. ID. Dorsey.
Feeding and breeding of cattle
has not been profitable for a long
time. This will be remedied as
soon as the production is reduced
to an amount less than the con-
sumptive demand. Raisers may
howl themselves hoarse about the
injustice of cattle buyers, but
cattle buyers are just like other
buyers-they get everything they
need at the lowest possible point
and sell everything they can at
the highert possible point AS
soon as cattle are scarce this year
prices will be higher Statistics
and arguments TO show that cattle
will be very scarce some time in
the future are of little avail. If
I cattle were wagons or furniture
= they might be bought snd stored
? away against the prospective scar
city, but cattle are perishable
/, property. There is limit even
TO the time they can be stored IN
! refrigerators, and refrigeration

duced by the operation of the tar
iff in increased cost of reduction.
We have the statement of Hon.
Walter @. Hadley, who is among
the best informed practical miners
in the west, that about two years
ago the smelter charges on his
Graph cores were less than one
dollar per ton, while now he has
to pay six dollars per ton.
On this point, Judge w. T.
Thornton, also an experienced
mine operator, testifies as fol-
lows
"I have before me two smelling
returns of the same class of ore
shipped from the Bennett mine;
one prior and one since the pass
age of this law, and they fully ex-
plain why the Organ miners are
interested. One of them is dated
Oct. 6, 1890, and showing the con-
tents of the ore to be lead 1875 per
cent, silver 16 OF. per ton. The
smelling charges were $500 PER
ton. The price paid for lead was
80 cents per unit. The other re-
turn is dated March Is, 1892. and
shows 23.4 per cent. lead, AZ OF.
silver per ton; smelling charges
Sl0.50 per ton; price paid for lead
43 cents per unit. Thus it will be
seen that we are paying $3.50 per
ton more for smelling charges than
before that nefarious law went into
effect, and are receiving about %
per cent less for our lead"
So it will be seen that the price
of lead ores has fallen in the two
years during which the Mckinley
tariff has been in operation, from
an average of 40 cents per unit, or
S400 per hundred previous to its
passage, and the present value,
which was on Wednesday, 1886
per hundred, N Y. quotation, not
withstanding the tax of one and a
half cents per pound, which is
rigidly enforced, and which was
intended to keep out foreign lead
ores and thus protect the home
producer by freeing him from
foreign competition and thus en-
hancing the value of his product.
The fact therefore stands out
bold and conspicuous, and indis,
putable - that the democratic
claim that the tariff does not fix
prices, but that they are governed
by supply and demand-that SC
far from being a help to tho min
ing industry of New Mexico, thai
tariff has been a detriment-that
it is deeper than Mexican peor
competition that this industry has
to fear-that there can be no last
ing prosperity for any industry
that depends on subsidies in the
in the shape of tariffs levied on al
its neighbors-that mining anC
wool, and cattle and farming, anC
commerce and manufacturing, ar,
all equally entitled to fair treat
ment at the hands of the govern
ment and equal protection agains
encroachment or favoritism from
every source-that beyond tina
each must take care of itself anC
depend upon its own intelligen
and businesslike management TO
its profts-that no industry mus
attempt to thrive at the expense o
all others. Simply that and moth
ing more.

A large part of the discussion of
the pending canvass on the part of
the republican press and speakers,
is as to the effect of the lead tariff.
1t is contended, and that conten-
ton constituted a large part of
the speeches of Messrs. Catron
and Morrison, at the opera house,
in Deming last week, that the adj
mission of lead free of duty would
close every lead bearing mine in
New Mexico and drive every mi
ner out of employment
Col. Morrison, was especially
vehement on this point. He stat
ed that the Mexican miners could
and did work for forty cents a day
and were the best miners in the
world. "How, then" "was it
possible for American miners who
worked for three dollars day, to
compete with this peon Mexican
labor in lead mining?"
This is their stock argument.
But they stop there. They pro-
duce no figures, adduce no facts
in support Of their declarations.
They indulge in defamation only,
not facts, which completely upset
their theory and utterly wipe out
the last vestige of foundation for
their statements,
The Headlight has taken some
pains to get the facts in relation
ton to this matter, and they are
conclusive and overwhelming.
They show that instead of lead
bringing a higher price ON ac-
count of the Mckinley tariff
thereon, it brings a lower price
than before the law was passed.
They show that instead of lead
mining being more profitable un-
der the Mckinley tariff than be.
fore, it is less profitable-that OF
account of the operation of that
tariff on articles entering into the
cost of reduction, the lead owner
gets a smaller return for his ore
So that the tariff cuts two ways
first in reducing the value of the
ore and second i'll increasing the
cost of reduction. 1t cuts botf
ways, and the miners lose at both
ends of the balance pole.
The subjoined figures are taker
from the books of several Dem
ing gentlemen actively engaged il
mining in this vicinity. These
books constitute the data anC
summary of their business trans
actions covering a period of sew
eral years. They are kept t.
show the state of their business
as every business man desires t.
know the condition of his affairs
and can accomplish that only b!
keeping a complete record of hi
commercial transactions. Thes,
statements may therefore be de
pended upon as being strictly cor
rect and reliable. The following
tables will show upon what basi
these sales of lead ores of tn,
mines In this locality were mad
to different smelters.

serve the majority of the clubs to hold Con
greS,ional Conventions, instead Of State
Convention of clubs. and with a view of
making the organization of clubs more eff
cient by the organization of Congressional
District Association of Clubs; his therefore
ordered that Convention of Democratic
Nlubs ofeach Congressional district be held
on
Wednesday. the frst day Of J'me. 1892,
1T the following places: For the First Con-
rressional district at Weston; for the Sec
md Congressional district, at Charles Town;
for the Third Congressional district Al
G: arleston, and for the Fourth COngresSior-
district at Raven-wood; for the purpose of
organizing District Associations of Demo

mess as may come before the Convention.
In such Conventions local clubs will be emit.
lied to the following representation; All
clubs with q membership of one hundred ar
ess will be entitled to five delegates with
more than one hundred and less than two
hundred. seven delegates, and with two hun

The oh~,t of calling said Conventions 10
meet at the same time and place as the Con

thereby saving both time and expense. The
