NEW MEXICO STATEHOOD.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on ter
ritories, today presented the committee
report on the admission of New Mexico
The report sets forth the resources of the
territory, giving the population, numbers
of schools, postoilices, etc, and adds the
report made to the senate ON the same
subject in the last congress.
A new paragraph is added giving the
best estimate possible on the proposition
of residents of the territory of Mexican
birth or derivation.
The report says that exact information
is unobtainable, but expresses the opinion
that about One-half of the population
falls within that class. They conclude,
however, that the MeXicans do not cast
one-half of the votes in the territory, be
cause Il majority of the Americans are
new arrivals. unaccOmpanied by their
families, giving them larger proportion
of voters than among the MeXicans. The
bill is amended so as to fix the election
for the adoption of the proposed consttu-
ton not earlier than the first Tuesday in
November.

WAS THROWN UNDER HIS HORSE.
Mayor A.. F. Perrier Seriously Injured
at Gillett.

Gillett, Colo. July 19.-Today, while
riding his horse, Honest John, in a
match race with Town Clerk s. w. Vid-
Ter, DIR. Ferguson ,: Cripple Creek and
DR.. Foye of Indianapolis. Ind. A. F.
Perrier, mayor of Gillett met with a
serious accident. The race was a half
mile event, and the mayor got away in
the lead. While rounding the first
curve his horse attempted to bolt
through The paddock opening and the
Judge in attempting to hold him to the
track caused him to miss and to strike
The fence with great force, throwing
his rider, the mayor, and falling heav-
lily upon him. The horse received a
four inch rail into his chest, piercing
the left lung and heart. He had to be
shot. The rail had entered so far that
it required a strong pull to dislodge it.
The mayor was taken to his resi-
dence. where DR.. Greene was at once
summoned in connection with Drs.
Ferguson and Foye, and it was found
that he had suffered a fracture of the
collar bone and a badly crushed leg.
He is at present resting easy and al
though he will be confined to his room
for several weeks nothing serious is
contemplated as a result. The horse
was a valuable animal.

COURTS INVESTIGATION.


The following self-explanatory letter
has been received from Warden Nc
Donald:
Editor Republican.
Dear Sir: Please give space to the
following reply to a letter written by
eX-Convict John Courtney. and pub
lished in the Buffalo Voice of July 10th.
The statement that | was in the habit
of engaging in boxing contests with
prisoners is so absurd and ridiculous.
that it seems to me to be enough to put
the entire letter beyond the pale of
credibility.
The state furnishes to discharged
prisoners a suit of clothes of the value
Of sl5. and s. in cash. For the first
four months after | took charge of the
prison. Chas. Greenbaum. furnished the
cTothing for discharged %convicts: sub
sequently. ] patronized the Durlacher
Clothding Co. These gentlemen are
sill in the clothing business, and can
testify as to how much ! paid for suits.
The Temple of Economy furnished two
suits. n for Jas. Dunbar and one for
w. S. Benjamin. at $40 a suit. in both
instances the prisoners were given the
remaining S.. for which they felt very
grateful. as it gave them $40 instead OF
s. as allowed by the state. A few suits,
! think four, were bought of the Ne
braska Clothing Co.. OF Omaha. Neb.
among them was the suit for John
Courtney. at a cost of SO. that included
coat vest and trousers; his hat, shoes
and underwear were bought of w. II.

IN FAR-OFF ALASKA.


The following letter from Hope City,
Alaska, from John Bath who with his
brother Tom, left for that place several
months ago, will be of interest to the
many friends of the young men in this
city. Ii was written to Z. T. Beltz and
in part reads:
Il expect you will be surprised to
hear from me but as it is Sunday |
thought | would write and let you hear
from us.
We left San Francisco April 10th,
and landed at Hope City. May 18th. be-
ing just So days in making the trip by
water. The journey was a dreadful
one as we encountered one hurricane
after another. We were so long over
due that reports were sent out that our
vessel had foundered. but we managed
to make port at last.
When we landed at Hope City we
found everything frozen up. Untold
quantities of snow everywhere. The
weather, however, is now beautiful. A
strange thing is hat the wind never
blows here and | was going to add that
it is so still that one can almost hear
ones thoughts.
THE mining district here is COM
pletey taken up. We have leased a
claim four miles from Hope City and
are working on II night and day,
There are six men in our party and we
divide up so that three work the day
and three the night shift.
You would be surprised, if you were
here. to see the sun shining % hours
out of the "a. When we go to u mid,
night lunch we never use a light. Just
think of The idea Of sitting down a
midnight and reading a newspaper. L
seems awfully strange to a fellow.
speaking about our claim, we are il
400 feet and are on pay rock. l will bt
able to tell more about its value latel
on.
People are coming in and going out
of the country by boatloads and some
of them are making a big kick aboul
the country. Hope City has a popula,
ton of about 500 including one saloon
a drug store and a lot of log cabins.
"If you hear of any of the boys who
think about coming up here tell them
| they are better off where they are"
