RAILWAYS JOCKEYING.
The A.. r. 4 =. +. and A. 4 p. Contest
Capt. Sterry Explains the
Situation.

The complicated situation among
southwestern railroads as explained to
the Albuquerque Democrat by Capt.
Sterry, attorney for the receiver of the
Atlantic & Pacific, is this: A decree of
foreclosure has been rendered by the
second district court of New Mexico as
against that part of the railroad which js
in New Mexico, and the decree fixes the
final limit of time for REDEEM ption at July
8, 1896. After that time the property
may, not must, be advertised for sale.
The Arizona court made similar de-
cree az to the portion of the railroad
within that territory on June l, with re-
demption limit of fifty days.
Foreclosure proceedings as to the prop
erty of the Atlantic & Pacific lying within
the state of California have been begun
recently, and will not be concluded be-
fore September. As it is not at all prob
able that the mortgages desire to have
the road disposed Of BY piece-meal, there
will be no advertisement of sale until the
property can be offered in entirety.
Should the road be advertised for sale
there will be no com mpetitive bidding, and
the Santa Fe will not appear as bidder,
as the fret mortgage bond-holders are in
a position to outbid anybody else aud
would do so to protect their own inter-
ests.
A bill has been passed by congress au-
thorizing the organization Of company
to take over the property, and sale
would mean simply reorganization.
Should the Santa Fe make an acceptable
offer, the stock of the new company would
be sold to the Santa Fe. But the Santa
Fe would not pay more for the Atlantic
d Pacific than the cost of building a
parallel road, and Engineer Vaughn ia
now at work collecting data upon which
to base estimates of cost. The bond
holders of the Atlantic 4 Pacific would
not sell for less than the value of the
road, as determined by the net earnings
and the receiver is operating the road
as economically as possible in order to
ascertain its earning capacity and itl
value.
The two parties are doing just what
men do preliminary to horse trade They
are iockeying and bluffing ON the price
and eventually they are likely to "split
the difference" and make trade. II il
believed by those who understand rail
road matters that the Santa Fe will &C
uire the Atlantic 4 Pacific. Should
negotiations fail, the Santa Fe would bs
com PEELED to build.

LA BELLE AND HEMATlTE.
Continued Encouraging Reports from
the Rich Gold Camps of south
western COIfax C0uaty.

A company has been organized to drive
| tunnel into Scheumann hill, near Hema-
tite. 1t is understood that the company
has sufficient amount of money in the
treasury to last for several months.
1t is reported that the contract has been
signed by which certain parties have
agreed to erect mill at Red River City
within thirty days and the owners of
mines there have guaranteed ore on which
to run the same.
Mr.. H. Pritchard, of Elizabethtown, was
over last Saturday and reports that every
thing around there and in Hematite is
picking up. He is interested in the In
dependence. on Scheumann hill, which
shows wider vein than most claims in
that part of the district and is equally
rich.
The prospects in the La Belle tunnel
are that tine main vein will be cut in a
very few feet. All the rock shows heavy
mineral stain in the crevices, both iron
and copper. Mr.. Cotton, the manager, is
willing to bet five to one that he will
strike pay ore when he cuts the vein.
Mr.. A. j. Downey has sold his entire
interest in the Aztec to w. G. Whitscar-
yer, who now holds controlling interest
in the claim. The Aztec is one of the
leading properties of the camp and it is
Mr.. Whitscarver's intention to confine his
attention to the development of this
claim. The shaft, on which four men are
working, is about fifty feet and over $50
feet of tunnels and cuts have been opened.
C. G. Cotton has succeeded in interest
ing some German capitalists In the Mem
phis, the claim from which the $240 as
says were received few days ago. They
have organized stock company and are
making preparations for extensive de-
velopment at once. Parties representing
the German company interested, who are
in this country, will be here this week or
next to attend to the arrangements neces-
sary for the work which will be carried
on under Mr.. Cotton's management.
Joe Rich is pushing work on the
Criterion and as the shaft goes down the
ore is improving as in almost all other
cases in the district where a good pros
pect was had to begin with. The Criterion
is the same vein ns the Orc, which is
owned by the Houston company, and
WhlCn also crObbeS tuo hhuitou anu
Montezuma claims on the south and the
Grouse Extension on the north. The vein
has been traced for over 5000 feet and
holes have been dug within few hundred
feet of each other through its entire
course. Assays on surface have usually
run about $l4.
Spasmodic prospecting cuts no ice.
one-hundredth interest in developed |
mine is worth more than all the claims,
that can only be found by the stakes, in
New Mexico. 1t is a fact beyond dispute
that in Colorado men will 60 1000 feet
into the earth before finding mineral and
think nothing of it. Some of the best
mines in the state we're discovered 500 to
l 900 feet below the surface. Our advice
is, if you 60 in at all, 60 to stay until it is
definitely determined whether mineral Is
to be found or not and, if none is there,
pull up stakes and 60 in somewhere else.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 21.-In a speech
Saturday night Governor Culberson read
Il letter from Prince Bismarck in response
to a communication from himself on the
subject of blmetallism. The great Ger
man statesman writes as follows: II hold
that this is the very hour that would be
advisable to bring about between the ma
tlons chiefly engaged in the world com
merce mutual agreement in favor of the
establishment of bimetallism. The United
States are freer by far in their move
ments than any nation Of Europe, and
hence if the people Of the United States
should find it compatible with their in
terests to take independent action in the
direction Of bimetallism l cannot but be-
lieve that such action would exert "a most
salutary influence upon the econsummation
of an international agreement"

as Mr. Bryan is an extreme free-trader, it
is not likely that he would favor protective
tariff on anything.
No one who has thought at all upon the
subject doubts that the purchasing power Of
the free coinage dollar would soon fall very
nearly to the cost of its production, because
Of the worldwide competition which silver
miners would set up for the American coin
market. For there would be but one field
where competition in the sale Of silver coin
could be carried on to the very last moment,
and this would be among the employers Of
labor m the United States.
The legal-tcndcr provision Of the free
coinage law would compel wage-carners to
accept the dcpreciatng dollar at its face
value and pocket the loss.
The payrolls Of the United States foot up
something like twenty-five hundreds of
millions of dollars year and here would
be an enormous field for the sale Of silver
coin and certificates; and into this field
bidding more and more sharply against each
other, would pour the silver mlncrs-not Of
the United States alone but of the entire
world and the final value Of the silver
dollar would be barely above the cost Of its
production in the country Of the cheapest
| labor.
| DO American wage-earners desire that the
purchasing power Of their wages shall be
regulated by the cheapest wages paid to the
cheapest labor on earth and that the value
of their dollar should decline very nearly to
the value of lead2
A vote for Bryan and Sewall is a vote for
exactly that result.
