That Is Just What the Southwest Sill
YER Convention VIII Be.

as tno blmo TOT the nouthWCdt Silver
Convection 10 assemble approaches il is
becoming more and more evident that
Silver City will be filled TO overaowing
on that occasion. Responses in answer
to special invitations sent out are pour
ing in and they contain nothing but
words Of encouragement
Miners all over the Territory are en-
thusiastic and they moan to show by
their presence here on the fourth OF July
that they are In earnest about yhe silver
question. Most Of the camps have been
heard from and there is hardly one OF
Importance in tho Territory which will
not be represented by a delegation.
Delegations will be present from Texas,
Mexico and Arizona and possibly from
other states. Many prominent men have
signitied their intention to be present
and assist in making the convention
success.
1t is generally admitted that no better
place could have been selected in the
southwest to hold a midsummer conven-
ton than SILVER City. This place is
famed all over the southwest as a de-
lightful spot to spend few days in the
heat Of the summer and this fact will be
appreciated by all in attendance at the
convention.
The interest which is being manifest
ed IN the convention is shown in the
following extracts from a few Of the let
ters which have been received in response
to the special invitations which have
been sent out:
Ex-Governor Prince writes: II am ia
receipt Of your favor Of May Ath, invit-
ing me to attend and address the South
west Silver convention in July next, and
can assure you that this evidence of ap-
probation Of my course ON the silver
question is highly appreciated.
1t is certainly the most important sub.
iect now before the people, and no more
so to the silver miner than to the pro-
ducer Of wheat, corn or cotton, whose
product is valued in proportion to the
purchasing power Of silver, or to the
payer Of interest or taxes, who is com
PEELED to meet his Indebtedness at a con-
stantly increasing gold value.
The great necessity of the time is to
enhghted our eastern brethren on the
principals Of finance involved in this
question; and hope that the conven-
ffo,, mill oil l., fbot v-orIr

to long neglected private business, but

The residence Of Charles Metzgar was
broken into last week and thoroughly
ransacked. The thieves expected 10
