The Big Indian.

We are informed that the lessees
of the Big Indian have sold their
lease to the owners of the mine, and
that the latter will at once erect a
mill in the ravine above Coryville
They calculate to tram the ore from
the mine to the mill. The lease ex-
tended until July, 1897, and the com
pany paid the lessees 1000 to give
it up.
The mill will be of great benefit to
that section, as there are number
of other mines there which show
lodges carrying from SIS to $50 per
ton which could be worked profita-
bly,.

CHavES COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

The resolutions adopted by the Demo-
Gratis of Chaves county have the true ring
about them. With that sort of spirit
dominating the representatives. of Democ-
racy there can be no question about the
result of the territorial convention at Las
Vegas hext month. Lincoln, Union and
Chaves counties have thus far chosen
delegates to the convention, and free
coinage is their keystone. In Chaves
county ten delegates were chosen to go to
Las Vegas although the county is entitled
to but five votes in the convention. This
was done because it was found that so
many good and faithful men down there
were anxious to go and participate in the
party councils. This delegation of ten
will cast the i've votes to which Chaves
is entitled, and we may add that il speaks
we'll for the enthusiastic condition of the
party in that locality that ten such rep
resentative citizens could be found who
are willing to make the trip from Roswell
to Las Vegas and return-1, 400 miles--in
order to serve the best interests of the
party,

Total delegates. -.

The comfy central committees of the
respective counties are hereby REG uested
to call county conventions to be held in
due time for the selection of the author
lied number Of delegates to said terri
torial convention in accordance with the
rules and regulations, or the usages and
practices of the party in each county. 1t
is suggested that primaries be held in the
various counties not later than May 30,
and that the county conventions be held
not later than June 6, 1896.
In carrying ont the orders of this COM
mittee at its said meeting, all Democrats
and all those who intend to act with tho
Democratic party are hereby invited to
participate in the primaries in the re-
spective counties.
In view of the great weight which the
Democratic delegation from this territory
had in the last national convention in the
selection of candidates for president and
vice president, and in view of the magni-
tude of the interests involved in the COM
ing national convention and of the re-
curing possibility for the exercise of po-
tent influence by New Mexico's delega-
tlon, particularly in silver's cause, the
Democrats in all counties are urged to
make their voice heard in the primaries
and in the county conventions to the end
that our territorial convention may be
largely attended and representative
one, thus assuring the election of a dele
ton to the national convention composed
of Democracy's strongest and truest sons.
This is vital year for silver's cause and
it is the hope of this committee that New
Mexico Democrats will take vital part,
beginning down at the primaries.
