MINING AND STOCK INTERESTS.


MINING AND STOCK INTERESTS
There is no mining boom on in New
Mexico, TO be sure, but it is a fac
nevertheless that a greater number Of
big mining deals have been closed in
the Territory during the past four
months than during the whole period
for five years past. Notable among
these transactions, are the sale of the
Boil & Stevens and "Pacific'' group oil
mines, at Piros Altos, to d. Gillette,
OF California, for the Hearst estate,
consideration. $780, 900 and spot cash
the sale Of the "Albemarle' at Cochiti
to Howell Hines, OF Cleveland, Ohio,
for $125, 900; The sale Of the ssFraser'
group OF gold mines in Arroyo Hondo,
Taos, to w. B. Cameron and an En-
glish syndicate. for 100000, and
other valuable considerations in the
way Of stock; also, the sale of the
"Hopewef" placers near Hillsboro,
1000 acres to Pittsburg and Cleveland
capitalists, for s400, 900. it is said, and.
besides, a full bakers dozen or more
of smaller sales BADging from $4,000
TO $50, 900 in Grant, Lincoln. Coifax and
Taos counties. These are good signs
Of the times for New Mexico.
But our other great industry, live
stock, is equally In the swim. Let's
sec il 1t isn't! Down in Chaves county,
w. G. Triton, Of the Cass land and
cattle company. has just sold 5000
steers to the Crider commission com-
pany at $40. 80 for the two.year.o ODDS
and $24.S0 for the thress. How Is
that, considering that four years ago
such stock went begging al less than
one-half this priceP Sheep, too, are
away up-in fact, ewes that went at
81 q head, last spring. cannot now be
had for twice that money. Nebraska
men are now contracting for lambs,
fall delivery, and paying one-half spot
cash, at 81 per head, and find trades
scarce at that, owing to the fact that
lambs are likely to 60 to s1.5c by fall.
The Landing season is In full blast and
sheep men say that, owing to the fine
weather, the increase 10 fiocks will
crowd closely 100 per cent. And yet

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1897
THE GRANT DEMONSTRATION.


The GRO Uning honor to the memory
OF Ulysses Simpson Grant, soldier,
statesman aud patriot, were paid to-
day by The republic. II is the seventy
fifth anniversary OF the birth OF him
who was destined to become the great
est and most successful general of the
civil war, "The man Of Appomat-
tox," twice president Of the United
States, and 1t was emInently appro-
pirate that this anniversary should
have been selected for the dedication
of the imposing and majestic mauso-
leum Ia which his remains will hereaf.
ter rest until the sound of Gabriel's
trumpet summons the dead from their
SAUNDERS. arr
AS great honors have lev been
paid to the memory of . departed
monarch, or man of the people, as to-
day, twelve years after his passing,
marked the final entombment Of all
that is mortal OF "The silent man."
The nearest approach to it in history
is perhaps the demonstration {, the
French people on the arrival from St.
Helena Of the remains of the first Ma
poleon and their 6ntombment in o sep
ulchre of the Invalides, but from every
point of view the demonstration OF to-
day lowered over the event in question
as historically reported.
Although the bulk of the funds for
the memorial were contributed by the
people of Greater New York. yet the
celebration is no mere local affair. The
republic was represented by its chief
executive, the members OF his cabinet
and the representatives OF the people
in the senate and house of represen-
tatives. Every foreign country joined
in the solemn ceremonial, through its
ambassadors or ministers at Washing
ton; or where such representation At
the capital was lacking, as in the case
of Greece, through Its cOnsul-general in
Washington while 10 addition England,
and nearly every European country
China and Japan, were represented by
warships dispatched to our waters
for the occasion. Twenty states, more
or less, were represented through their
governors, aud confederate veterans
who were among the hardest fighters
against the forces Of Grant during the
war, marched shoulder to shoulder
with the men that wore the blue. II
was such a demonstration as the new
world has never seen before aud pos
sibly will never see again.

Washington, July 90 The indications
when the senate adjourned today were
that n vote BIO reached upon the confer

Thursday or. at tho latest, before the end
Of tho week. There may be a change III
the conditions which viii postpone, vote
but it Is difficult to see what would cause

The opposition TO the bill realize that
there Is no possibility OF preventing tho
adoption OF the report and their present
purpose Is only to secure what advantage
they can by exhibiting the inconslstencies
of the measure.
II is true that at one time they had
some hope Of being able TO secure the re-
commital of the bill, hut II thorough can
vass reveals no foundation for this hope.
1t develops tho fact that the republicans
will vote solidly for the report and that
they will be supported by Mess6. Ponies of
Nevada tsilver republican, and McEnery of
Louisiana tdemocraD; also probably
Messrs. Mantel and Stewart tsilver ropub-
licans). They have discovered that Sem
ntor Kyle tPopl, who Is absent. has left

thus assured, tho democrats PROBABLY will
not attempt 10 prolong the debate beyond

by the conference. but these will not occupy

The general opinion Is that tho quorum
