THE RAILROADS.

The new time card took effect over the
narrow gauge yesterday. Hereafter the
Denver train will get in at s p. m. and
leave for the north at 8 a. IN.
Supt. j. J. Burns, of the Union Pacific,
accompanied by Chas. E. Chaplin, Ben F.
Wilson and A. M. McGregor have been
inspecting the Catskill branch of the U.
p. road I'M Colfax county.
Railroad surveyors have been plentiful
all the week. Surveys have been made
and corrected all the way from Maxwell
City and another party is busy cross
sectioning less than two miles behind the
surveyors, which means that work will
begin in thirty days.-Amizett Miner.
Official announcement has been made
from the City of Mexico that the conces-
sion of the Deming Mexico railroad south
has been renewed. The terms of the new
concession are more favorable than the
old one. John w. Young is still in London
on business connected with this enter
prise.
The A., T. g. s. F. mail train due here
from the east at 1926 last evening failed
to reach Lamy until about 2:30 this after
noon. The west bound midnight train
came through on time. The latter runs
over the Hutchinson-Kinsley cutoff,
hence the trouble, whatever it was, must
have been on the main line east of Hutch
inson.

Albuquerque's Water supply.

The Albuquerque Water company, by
it's president, A. A. Grant, has given no.
tice to the city council that unless suits
brought by the city to cancel their fran
chise are Withdrawn, they will shut down
their works.
At the Albuquerque city council meet
ing last evening resolution was adopted
directing the city attorney to continue
the suits to test the exclusive franchises
claimed to be held by them.
Accordingly, the Water company has
given formal notice that sit will no
longer furnish water to the city or the in
habitants thereof, and will close down its
works on and after the 23d day of No
vember."
An injunction, it is thought, will be ap-
piled for to prevent the company from
carrying it's threat into execution.

The Combine Again.

The would-be political bosses of this
territory are ''at it again." A meeting of
the territorial Democratic committee was
held in Albuquerque last Monday at which
time the neutrality-suspicious. crew &C.
tually attempted to secure the endorse
ment of the committee for certain of their
proteges for various political plums
throughout the territory, chiefly that of
secretary.
The idea of territorial Democratic
committee, supposed to represent the
party in New Mexico, discriminating in
favor of "pets" of the would-be political
dictators!
Of course no endorsements were given.
It so happened that other members were
in attendance besides Joseph, FERGUSON
and Crist.
That the attempt to force their candi-
dates upon the people under semblance
of an endorsement of the committee was
premeditated is evidenced from the fact
that the "triumvirate" had arranged for a
"snap" meeting. The Headlight has posi-
tive information that several of the mem
bers of the committee had no notification
of the proposed meeting and knew moth.
ing of it until the proceedings appeared
in print.
Are such actions conducive to Demo
cratic harmony in New Mexicos Is such
course on the part of supposed leaders
going to admit US into the Union as .
Democratic states- Deming Headlight

and force, as the people of New Mexico
are better informed and as the jury laws
now IN force will not allow repetition OF
the actions of the courts during the years
1885, 1856 and 1887.
The Times aspires to be the leading
organ of the Democracy and to knock
out the Albuquerque Democrat, and be-
lieyes by pursuing this course, it will
gain its ends. As far as outsiders are
concerned, they can afford to look on
with much equanimity and are doing so.
II is not fight of much consequence to
the people at large, but simply one be-
tween the two Democratic factions as to
which shall control the official pie for
New Mexico.

AMONG THE MINERS.

As indicating the increased interest in
mining affairs it is noteworthy that the
smelters of the west are doing an excel
lent business generally this season. For
instance, the report of the Merchants
Railway Bureau at Denver shows the ore
receipts by the smelters of that city for
the month of May just past were 2,O99
car loads, or 67S car loads more than
were received during the month of May
one year ago. At other smelling points
the increased production is probably
quite as large, indicating that despite the
cry of hard times and low silver the min
ing industry is growing steadily. At
first glance this seems rather singular,
for it is well known fact that many of
the best silver producing camps in the
west are now practically deserted, but
there are two ways to account for the in
crease. In the first place the miners
have had to have employment, and failing
to find 1t in the rich silver districts, they
have scattered out and sought employ
ment in the gold, copper and lead pro-
ducing sections of the Rockies. On this
account the gold and lead mines Just
now are particularly prosperous and
good prospects are in demand
at ready cash figures, there
being no fear among capitalists to in
vest in this class of enterprises. In the
second place the steady, upward price of
lead and the effect of the Mckinley bill in
shutting out the cheap lead ores of Mex
leo has also perceptibly influenced the
mining industry, and has had the effect
of developing many districts where here
tofore the low price of both silver and
lead has made it impossible to compete
with tho cheaply mined Mexican product.
The smelters have to have the lead ores
and the miners know it; gold is always in
demand and SO it is that pretty good
times are ruling, as indicated by the ac-
tivity of the sme]ters, despite the unfair
treatment of silver.
All that is demanded now is q more
extended use of the white metal as money,
and the mineral producing sections of
the west would soon be in the midst of d
veritable mining boom, and as matters
are progressing there is much to look
forward to. Let the miners keep ever
lastingly at it, keeping stiff upper
lip" and success is sure to crown their
cause.
