of New Mexico and Arizona, among whom
are Col. J. p. McGrorty, Of Deming, who
was the collector appointed by Cleve-
land in his last administration, and
Charles NJ. Shannon, formerly Of this
place but now OF Clifton. II Cleveland,
as is asserted by those who ought 70
know, appoints no old Office holders dur
ing this administration, Mr.. Shannon
stands good show Of getting appointed
collector for this district.
Governor Ross would undoubtedly be
appointed governor OF this Territory II
old appointees we're to be considered IN

the fight. He has three or four rivals.

not very important one and it is moi
probable that he will have any opposi

several aspirants for the office of post

candidates in the field; Mrs L. B. Nor
ril and L. A. Skelly. II Cleveland fol

There is considerable work going on
IN tho mines around Central but there
is very little noise made about It. With
good facilities for the reduction Of ore,
Central would make one ot the hvellest
camps IN tho County.
The Sampler at Deming is handling
considerable ore now but Il has facilities
for handling ore in much larger quanti-
ties than are being offered.
There is not much prospect Of an ac-
tive summer In the mines at Cooks Peak.
The low price Of both lead aud silver
will cause the production Of ore IN that
camp TO be light. A slight raise in the
price Of either metal would cause the
output Of ore there TO be increased very
materially. There are large bodies Of
ore in the camp but the ore is not high
enough grade TO pay a very good profit
at the present price OF lead and silver.
The snow Of last week will insure
water enough 10 keep the mills at Pinos
Altos running for some time yet On
account Of the very dry weather last
year the mills could not be run steadily
and the result was that large amount
OF ore accumulated in the mills and at
the mines. In ordsr to get rid of this
accumulated ore the mills will have to
be run steadily for a number Of weeks
yet. The mines are producing ore con-
stantly and with plenty Of water to keep
the mills going this will be the most
prosperous season ever known at PInof
Altos.
The Mogollon district IL as regular a
producer OF bullion as any district in
New Mexico. Since the Colonial Mining
Company completed its mill it has been
a regular shipper Of bullion and will un.
doubtedly continue to ship regularly
except for about three weeks during
which time the Huntington mills will be
taken out and replaced with stamps
The mill was constructed with view to
putting in stamps il the Huntington
mills failed to do satisfactory work, SO
that it will not take so long to put in the
stamps as it would have taken il the
mill had not been constructed with that
end in view.

A Remarkable Newspaper Enter
prise

Combination is the characteristic of
this age, and when capitalists are com
bining in trusts, working men in labor
unions, and farmers III aiffsiiovs, 1rcys~
papers can hardly be blamed for joining
the procession. Indeed it is remarkable
that the press has not led the way in
taking advantage of the power of asso>
citation, instead of tagging behind.
The Press Claims Company, whose adj
and will become familiar to our readers
during the coming year, illustrates the
advantages of cooperation on an extern
sive scale. 1t is a combination of hun
dreds of the leading newspapers of the
United States for the purpose of pro-
tecting their patrons against unscrupu>
lous Washington claim agents, and Sc
curing prompt, efficient, and economical
service to all persons haYing dealings
with the Government. Incidentally the
company expects to make profit for
itself. 1t will secure patents and pen
sions, perfect land titles, and attend to
all other legitimate business of the kind
on terms that will make it's employment
necessity to claimants having q proper
regard for their own interests.
Membership in this company is a guar
anty of the high standing of any news
paper, all applications for stock having
been carefully considered and passed
upon 10y the Board of Directors before
allotment. The company comes before
the public backed by the collective en-
dorsement of over five hundred 'of the
leading journals of the United States.
That the VALLEY VIRGINIAN has been
admitted to such an association is "a
compliment which our readers will ap~
preciate as highly as ourselves. We take
pleasure in recommending the Press

Those Now st amos.


There are certain matters suggested
by the PRONUNCIATION of the Columbian
stamps which are still being discussed
by the press, and so far without any sat
isfactory conclusion of the whole matter
The discovery of various uses to which
these chromos may be applied first en-
gagged the attention of the public. Mr..
Wanamaker pleaded in extenuation Of
the stamps that he proposed to impose
the major portion of them upon stamp
collectors. Now stamp collectors are a
class of citizens for whom the public
sympathy is not easily excited. They
are often regarded by unfeeling cynics
in the light Of stray dogs, to whose tail
any one may tie tin bucket. But the
Columbian stamp was considered even
too severe for stamp collectors, and one
orator in CONGRESS declared that the
stmaster~General has no authority
under the constitution for inflicting a
cruel and unusual stamp upon them.
The capacity of the collectors soon be-
came exhausted, and then other uses for
the stamps were suggested. Some rec
commended them for chest protectors.
others thought they might answer for
liver pads, but no one ventured to rec
ommend them for use on letters or for
circus posters
The principal question which has been
raised is Of the highest historical inter
terest. The one-cent Columbian stamp
represents Columbus as he stood on the
deck of the Santa Maria on the early
morning of October 18th, 1902, 20. S.
viewing the newly discovered island.
The two cent stamp represents Column
bus in the act of landing on the new
land during the same day, few hours
later than the scene represented in the
one-cent stamp. In the one-cent stamp
the discoverer is represented as having
Just shaved his face clean to meet the
ladies on the shore. In the two-cent
stamp he has a long beard. The ques-
ton is how he got so handsome a beard
in so short time. Various explanations
have been given, none of which, we
contend, are entirely satisfactory. One
says the tropical climate promoted the
rapid growth of beard, another that
Columbus when he discovered that the
natives had no boards, hastily assumed
false one in order to impress them
with his superiority. Still another ver-
sion of the transformation is that Coli
umbus was in the habit of travelling
about in disguise, rapidly changing his
entire appearance. In proof of this nu-
merous portraits of the admiral, totally
differing from each other, are cited.
But the most plausible explanation is
that Mr. Wanamaker considered it but
fair and just dealing to give more for
two cents than for one cent, and so the
beard was thrown in for good measure.
