The auriferous earth has been washed
down into the valleys, and SO it occurs
that in isolated and unlooked- for places
gold has been found quite near the sur
face. Only few weeks ago Phoenix
was intensely excited by the news that
gold had been found on farm near
Mesa City, a thriving Mormon village
nineteen miles from here. The discov-
cry was made in the middle of an alfalfa
field, the last place on earth one would
look for placer claim, and the farmers
plowing up their alfalfa fields hunting
for gold was the ludicrous situation for
days.

A,P, A.1SM IN TINE HOUSE.

Delegate Murphy, of Arizona, speaking
of statehood, makes a strong point. He
says: "The incidental silver question in
volved, important as it may be for the
present, will play no important part here
after, because, should Arizona be adj
mitted by this congress, presi-
DENTAL election will have been held
and new congress elected fresh
from the people before the territory
can by any possibility be admitted.
The representatives. who will be elected
eventually by the three new states will
necessarily be but small number to be
added to the house of representatives., and
the senators can not effect any change in
the present senate" This is undoubtedly
true, and shows that there are other rea-
sons why the Reed house refuses to take
up the statehood bills. Fear of increas.
ing the silver vote is q mere pretext. This
is even more apparent now, for since
Delegate Murphy spoke as above in the
New York Tribune the Reed house has
demonstrated that it is controlled by that
un.American organization, the A. P. A.

TRIBUTE TO NEW MtxIco's CLIMATE

The first case reported upon by Dr.
Cyrus Edison, of New York, in his in
structive treatise on the use of aseptolin
in phthisis pulmonalis or consumption
of the lungs, is of especial interest to
readers of the New MEXICAN because of
the unqualified and splendid tribute it
pays to the climate of this territory AS a
cure for consumption.
1t recltes that: "W. NJ, male, aged "a
years, good family history; has suffered
from cough; normal weight, about 1888;
September 2, 1895, 1913 pounds; expector-
ates about an ounce and half of muco-
purulent sputa daily, containing large

cocci; slight daily rise of temperature;
physical signs show small cavity surround
ed by consolidation of middle lobe of right
lung. This general condition WAS first
noted in December, 1894, but improved
so as to have entirely disappeared during
six months residence in New Mexico"
DR.. Edison continues that, after the pa
tient returned to New York from New
Mexico cured, there Was recurrence of
the ymptoms with increased rawness OF
the impaired lung, and that he has since
been employing the aseptolin treatment
in the case with remarkable success. AS
the aseptolin and climatic cure evidently
supplement each other, DR.. Edison will
doubtless next advise his patient to re-
turn to New Mexico with determination
to establish his permanent home in the
land of sunshine.

THE poor miserable dodge of a Ding
ley bill, invented by Speaker Reed, to
side-track the tariff, would have been of
very little value to wool growers. Under
it manufacturers could live aud then they
never would have consented to give wool

could help it."

In the course of a sagacious article on
party affairs the st. Louis Republic lays
down a general rule for Democrats
to follow which is we'll enough framed
to Justify reproduction. "Next to the
boilers, the worst enemies Of union in
the Democratic party are those" says
the Republic, "who would provoke
contesting delegations by disfranchis-
ing districts. Il-omened birds of the
same black feather are the creatures
who make politics a vehicle of pri-
vate malice and weaken the party by in
sulting its members with personal Wifi
cation. Above all personal interests and
all disputes over policies of government,
the union of the Democratic party rises
as a great national necessity. To recog-
nlze the necessity is to be Democrat; to
subordinate the existence of the party to
small ends is to be smaller than a Dem.
ocrat."

THE New MEXICAN regrets to observe
disposition on the part of some of its
contemporaries to try the Fountain case,

unholy crime and bring them to just

"OF course, neither Catron, of New

genius who runs the Lordsburg Liberal
in commenting on the action of the house
committee in the statehood matter. This
is refreshing. Why, of courses 1t was
not only their privilege but their solemn
duty to vote, and if they were prevented
from voting it is the first time in history
that such an indignity was ever heaped
upon the territorial delegates in congress.

How Nature Makes Silver.

The process by which nature forms
her silver mines is very interesting. 1t
must be remembered that the earth's
crust is full If water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, max g

them. These solutions take up small
particles of precious metal which they
find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot the water having got SO far
down as to ne set boiling by the inter
nal heat of the globe. Then they rush
Inward, picking mp the bits of metal as
,Acy go. Naturally heat assists the Per
Torrance of this operation.
Now and then the streams thus form
ed, perHetually flowing hithor and thith

they deposit their lodes Of silver. This
