FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %.
TALKING POLITICS.

1t is somewhat early as yet to discuss
candidates for the delegateship to be
nominated next November. We have be-
fore us the contingency of statehood, for
one thing. If Delegate Catron is true to
his professions, having his side partner,
Elkins, on deck in the senate ought to
give him stronger pull than that ever
possessed by any delegate, and, as we
say, if he is really earnest in his decara-
tions favoring the admission of New
Mexico, the campaign of 1896 may find
us engaged in contest for state officers,
congressman and legislature that will
name our representatives in the United
States senate, 80 that until the approach
ing session of congress is we'll under way
and some estimate can be made of it's
disposition toward the admission of new
states, and until the friends of the state
hood movement have had opportunity to
estimate the sincerity of Delegate Cat
ron's efforts and pass judgment on his
congressional methods, we are all prac-
tically at sea.
However, some of our contemporaries,
the Silver City Eagle among them, appar-
emily think statehood is too far in the
distant future to be counted even pos.
sibility, and we notice that the Eagle has
taken time by the forelock and urges the
fitness of the Hon. H. B. Ferguson, of
Albuquerque, as the Democratic party's
nominee next year for delegate in con-
gress from New Mexico. We print in
full elsewhere on this page the Eagles
article and desire to add that the New
MEXICAN thoroughly agrees with it's con-
temporary's estimate of the gentleman
referred to. He is in every sense "capa-
BILE, honest and popular" a sterling Dem
ocrat, and one who would make strong
and effective contest as the party's stand
ard bearer in 1896.

Col0RADO'S GREAT COLD CAMP.

Four years ago about fifty people at
two or three COW camps comprised the
total population of that part of south
western FL Paso county, Colo, now
famous the world over as the Cripple
Creek gold district, and the presence of
gold there in paying quantities was not
even suspected by any one. Now the popu-
lation of the Cripple Greek mining district
numbers about $4,000 souls, and its
monthly output of the precious yellow
stuff has reached $l,0OO,0OO and is rapidly
increasing.
The consensus of opinion of competent
and impartial Judges, who have visited
and studied this wonderful district, seems
to be that the golden resources of Cripple
Greek are practically nexhaustible and
that the further systematic development
work. proceeds the greater will be its out
put. At the opening of 1895 its gold
production was 100000 per month. This
has grown until the product from the
principal mines in the district reached
$1,OO0,OO0 for October and is expected to
increase for November and December.
The wiseacres and experts in the early
days of the district shook their heads and
predicted that the deposits of gold-bear-
ing ore would not 20 down to any great
depth and many capitalists took this view
and turned aside from investing in the
territory. At that time the veins we're
thought to be cash and not true fissure
veins. This contention has been amply
disproved by the developments of the
last two years.
Colorado Springs men alone had sufa-
cient faith in the permanency Of the min
eral supply to stand by the camp, but
most of its supporters we're men of small
means, and development went forward
slowly. 1t was this fact that gave Cripple
Greek the name and fame of the "poor
mans camp" The wealthiest men there
were carpenters, plumbers and farmers
two years ago. One of these pioneers,
who recently retired with comfortable
fortune, was, less than year ago, con-
dnctor on street railway in Colorado
Springs, and an invalid at that. The
mining district Of Cripple Creek covers
an area of thirty-six square miles and
has population of $4,000. In 1891, as
already suggested, 1t was An unnamed
cattle pasture. To-day it Is the worlds
most famous fissurs vein gold district.
II was the last place in the world that
an old prospector would have looked for
gold. Now it is covered with prosperous
towns. The town of Cripple Creek has
population of 5000, Victor has 5000, and
smaller towns are Anaconda, Indepen.
dence and Altman, each Of which boasts
of postofice. Cripple Greek and Victor
have telephone and electric light service,
wafer works, churches, schools, and each
supports daily newspapers. The town
Of Cripple Greek was founded in 1891,
and 10 thirty miles southwest Of Colorado

PRESS COMMENT.
United for statehood.

If Mr.. Catron will push the statehood
matter with his wonted energy, aggres-
siveness and determination he will secure
the loyal support of all in favor of state
hood, whether Democrats or Republicans.
There is no reason for politics on that
score, however wide difference exists on
other questions.-Albuqu uerque Demo

Indians wars of 1856 and 1856. 1t was

New YORK, February IA late ar

brings information of the seriousness of
the revolution now in progress in the
Republic of Colombia. Battles have
been fought at several places in the in
terror, which the government reports as
disastrous to the revolutionists, but the
agents of the rebels assert this is not
true. The activity of the government IN
Selling the steamer Premier and Tor
warding arms and ammunition to the
southern departments show the anxiety
felt. No reports unfavorable to the
government are allowed to be printed.
Local mails and personal letters are
subjected to inspection, and letters an
tagonistic to the government would re-
suit in the immediate arrest OF the
sender. All passenger ships arriving at
Colon are closely examined for suspect
ed sympathizers and munitions OF war,
and the cable lines are also under sur
veillance.
Affairs on the Isthmus are very duii,
and seemingly quiet, but an outDreak Is

event of a strike of the employees there
is little doubt but the sympathlzers with

opinion in the case of James Gilbert Eos
ter VS.. the Bear Valley Irrigation Com

the plaintiff, who represented about

successor in interest. The Bear Valley
Land & Water Company went into in
solvency, and a receiver has been ap-
pointed. Prior to this that company
levied 50 per year additional to regular
charges upon holders of class "a" GER

the corporation had by tapping addl-

flow in the Redlands canal, from which
the certificate holders took water. The

ONE OF THE CONDEMNED.
History of William T. Seward, Now
Under Sentence in hawaii.

New YORK, February 13.- Colonel
William T. Seward, condemned to death
at Hawaii, form erly lived at Orient, L.
l. He was very prominent on Eastern
Long Island. 1t first became known
yesterday that the unfortunate Colonel
Seward at Hawaii is the William T. Sc
ward, who for many years had charge of
the extensive Long Beach fish works.
Colonel Seward came to Orient many
years ago from Hartford, Conn, to be
employed at the fish works as chemist.
Upon the death of ex-senator Lewis A.
Edwards Mr.. Seward occupied his hand
some residence, and had charge of the
factories. The residence is now owned
by Caleb A. Dyer, and is one of the
finest in Eastern Long Island. The fish
works became involved about ten years
ago and Mr.. Seward left his wife and
Royal, S. c., and engaged in work in
phosphate works. That was not sue
cessful. From thence he travelled ex-
tensively and landed in San Francisco,
from where he sailed for the Sandwich
Islands. After leaving Orient MIR. Sc
ward met with little success. His FAM
lily became respondent. His place was
sold and his family moved to Guilford,
Conn.,, where they now reside. Mr.. Sc
ward is said to be about SIS years of age.
He was a member of the Masonic
lodge at Greenport; was personal
friend of Senator Hawley of Connecticut
and served in the Union army. A letter
was received yesterday by the secretary
OF the Greenport Masonic lodge from
Mrs. Seward asking that the lodge take
some steps in behalf of her unfortunate
husband. This interested many of his
friends on Eastern Long Island, and
letter has been sent to James w. Covert
and David B. Hill urging them to inter-
est themselves in the matter.
