The recent discovery of gold in Wa
ter Canyon will add much to the pros
perity of this section during the CON-
ing year. 1t has long been known that
gold veins existed in that district but
beyond a number of unlmportant dis
coveries, nothing has been done in the
prospecting line. The splendid veins
on the Orc Fine and Wall Street were
looked upon as being the source of sup
ply for the placer diggings at the mouth
of the canyon, without anyone going
to the trouble to look for veins of absO-
lutely free milling ores lower down the
hill. Mining and prospecting is now
stimulated and daily discoveries are
being made on the east side of the
Magdalena range.-Socorro Advertiser

and railroad officials visited Hillsboro
last week, viz: Hon. Robert T, Lin

Norman B. Ream and ID. B. Robinson,

L. Saint, G. l.. Brooks. The distin-
guished guests were rendered a royal
reception at the residence of MFR. Nicho-

of the town entertained them. MI.
Lincoln was waited upon by a com
mittee of Grand Army veterans. The
party spent a day among the mines
much to their satisfaction. After
a day among the gold mines the visitors
lelt on their way to the Mid Winter

Those who entertain the idea that
their home paper does not contain the
amount of local new that it ought to
would do well to bear in mind that the
local paper, to a great extent, is DEEPEN
dent upon the residents of the COM
munlty for its local news. If the citi-
ems are liberal and painstaking they
can greatly increase the length of the
news column. Its not always conven-
lent for the editor, especially for be that
acts in the capacity Of editor, tYpe-set-
ter, floor sweeper and errand boy, to go
about the country catering items. In
any town or place where a newspaper
is published it is to the interest Of
the community and its people that the
local paper be- well supplied with ews
OF home interest, and it Is but right
that thepeople OF the community should
interest themselves in the work.
Through the push and energy of the
mine owners of HillsDoro the GOLDFISH
yer mines OF that district have perma-
nently placed that district on record As
a steady, valuable producer of bullion,
aud the steady output of those mines
is attracting the attention of prUml-
nent capitalists and railway magnets,
and the heavy Investment of capital
ana the extension OF the Lake Valley
branch OF the a., Il. q 5. +. TO the
county-seat is next to an assured fact,
which If realized would not only be u
good thing for Hillsboro, it would be
beneficial 10 tue county at large; 1T
would encourage outside capital 10 in
vestigate other more remote districts
where gold bearing lodges exist. With
the endless mineral resources which
the northern portion of the Black
Range possesses there seems no reason
why we should not meet with the same
success that our now more active
neIghbOr, Hillsboro, enjoys. With
endless bodies of ore rich in gold, sill
YER and copper, with mines of lead
and copper and forests of timber and
fuel and water in abundance, why
should not a smelter or aeopper matte
plant, properly equipped and conduct
ed by skillful, experienced men, do as
much for us as it has done for Hills
boro? The mine and smelter owners
of Hillsboro have established a record
as successful operators that demands
the close attention of other mine opera
tors.

Mrs. Mcdonald has given a very
liberal donation to the Ladies Aid
Society, having presented them with
sixteen trimmed hats which will be

unable to buy for themselves. These

otherwise be compelled to remain at
home.
Saved to the Uttermost" was the
topic at the revival meeting at the
Centenary M. E. church last night.
The healing of the woman, bound to-
gether by spirit of inflrmity, by the
word and touch of Jesus,
was the basis of the sermon. The
congregation was good in spite of the
weather, and two seekers, both young
men, answered the invitation and
came out as christians. "How God
Lifts Up" is the topic for tonight.

HE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

]. j. Clarke, an'inspector of govern
ment buildings, was in the city today,
and in company with Architect Ger
lact and Contractor Craig looked the
foundation of the new postoffice over
this forenoon. He was pleased with
what he saw, and made the statement
that the money for its completion is
available, and that before snow flies
next winter the building will be en-
closed, finished. furnished and occu-
pied. This will be good news TO our
citizens, who have seen with some
impatience the various delays in all
stages Of the proceedings.
Mr.. Clarke is young man and seems
to be well posted on his work. He
did not seem to think that a fence
around the foundation was necessary.
His visit to this city had some con-
nection with this, as the contractor
has been reported to Washington for
not going ON with this work on the
fence. The citizens generally, and es-
pecially those residing IN the vicinity
of the foundation, are opposed TO a
high board fence being erected, as be-
ing as unsightly as it is needless.
What the inspector will report on the
matter is not known.

HERE and there all over the country
mills and factories are starting up
again, and the free traders are citing
this fact to show that the claims OF
of the protectionists that the prOpos-
ed Wilson bill will work against the
interests of labor are unfOunded. But
there is nothing in this which in the
least disturbs, the statements which
the protectionists have made. These
mills and factories start up because
they have orders enough on hand to
Justify such course. The supply in
their particular line is approaching
the point of exhaustion, and there is a
demand for more. The Republicans
sincerely rejoice to see these institu-
tions resume something Of their for
mer activity even though they may
not employ their full quota OF hands
and run at reduced wages. 1t is far
better than idleness. Under, the cir
cumstances it is far better for the
employers and employees to make the
best of the situation, until such a
time as their votes will change it for
the better.

A NEW CHAIRMAN.

The county commissioners held the
first session, of the January meeting
Tuesday afternoon The election of a
chairman for the ensuing year was
the first business. Com. Graf was
unanimously chosen to the office, on
motion of Com. Hughes. This action
gives the Republican board Repub-
lican chairman, as is eminently prop
er. The only wonder is that a Re-
publican was not elected year ago.
Bids for building the two stone
abutments for bridge across the Lit
tie Cottonwood river, in the town of
Cambria, known as the lower crossing,
were opened and were as follows:
A. Bashaw. 81, 339. 80.
j. Mccall, 1884,
Joseph Landkammer, 81, 345.
T. r. Coughlan, 1919.
T. Dunlevy, 1854.
w. 9. Craig, So per cubic yard.

The lowest bid is below the eSti-
mate, and the contract will probably
be awarded at this meeting.

THE Municipal League, OF Phila-
delphia, and the New York Municipal
Club have issued call for national
conference in the interest of good
city government. to be held in Phila-
delphia Jan. 25th and 18th. The pur-
pose of the conference is to discuss
the best means to stimulate the in
terest in honest and intelligent mu-
nicipal government. Among those
who will attend are such men as
Abram Hewitt, of New York, and
Lyman Gage, of Chicago, and other
strong and influential business men
who are interested in good municipal
government. When the interest of
the solid business men of our great
cities can be aroused to the need of a
better municipal government, there is
some hope that something definite
will be accomplished. Such a confer
ence. Conducted by practical men,
ought to result in great deal of good,
for it means that one of the first and
most important features will be the
discussing Of matters from business
stand point.

THE Minneapolis Tribune gives a
table showing the amount.of wheat
received at Minneapolis, Chicago and
Duluth during the past five years.
These three points are the largest
wheat markets in the United States,
and probably of the world. The total
receipts in Minneapolis for five years
were 273,000, 900 bushels; for Chicago,
100, 100000 bushels; and for Duluth,
which includes Superior, 152,OOO,OOO
bushels, making an average of $780,
900 bushels, 81, 100, 900 bushels, and 30
400, 900 bushels, respectively. Mime
apolis comes nearer to manufacturing
the wheat it receives into flour than
either of the other points, though
Duluth and Superior are fast coming
to the front as flour manufacturing
point. Chicago is largely specula-
tive point. Undoubtedly the time is
not far distant when the two north
western wheat markets will convert
about all the wheat they receive into
flour before shipping.

AN INTERESTING TALK.

The practical talk at the Y. NJ Z.
A. rooms Wednesday was given by Gen
K. M. Pope, and was fairly attended,
although many young men VINO nave
been in the custom of attending these
talks we're out Of town on their vaca-
tion. Mr.. Pope's subject was "Pol1tl-
cal Ethics" and he worked it up in
such a manner that all present were
both interested and profited. He dwelt
upon political life in it's broadcast as
poets, urging upon all young men
present to refrain from degenerating
into citizens of their town or county
or state, but instead to be citizens OF
America. Mr.. Pope is patriotic, thro'
and thro' and he did not fail to con-
vey this impression to those VINO
heard him last night. He took up
and discussed, in an impartial, dlspas-
sionate manner, some Of the Ques-
tiOns in our national life upon which
public thought and sentiment are di-
vided, and he appealed to the young
men to make careful, earnest study
of them, and act according to
their best judgment, irrespect-
i've of party or local in
tiuence. He was especially emphatic
in denouncing the present tendency
of the metropolitan press to scott at
and abuse men in public positions be-
cause they were of different polltl-
cal faith, holding that since these
men are but our agents it becomes
up to repose confidence in them, or at
least to respect ourselves enough
not to be constantly deprecating our
own action. An informal discussion
was held upon the talk, in which all
who chose to participated.
