THE Insignificant output of gold by

likely to disturb the business of the
world nor to affect the commercial
value of the yellow metal. Admitting
that the Yukon region has turned out

months (Which is high estimate), the
amount will not be perceptibly felt,
even on the Pacific. During the ten
years from 1850 to 1860 California turn

THE Japanese minister to Mexico,
who appears to entertain great friend
ship for the United States, fears that
the annexation of Hawaii TO this coun-
try would put such taste for anneXa-
ton in the mouth of Uncle Sam that
he might in certain contingencies de-
velop desire to take part in Asiatic
polltics-that is, for instance, in case of
trouble with England, the United
States might attempt to seize Hong
Kong. Those Japanese diplomats are
evidently far-sighted, and are close
students of history, for whenever the
spirit of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
gains the ascendancy in any virile ma
ton, there is no telling where the end
will come.

THE TERRITORIAL FAIR.
The Outlook Most Promising for
Good Exhibition

The Territorial Fair association are
out for big time this year. 1t has
large executive committee OF the best
element in that live city in charge of
the work.
The re sources of the territory are to
receive more than usual attention this
year as is shown by the large increase
in the prizes for county and district
exhibits in the field of agriculture,
horticulture and mining. 1t has put up
$3.50 90 for the best and largest collec-
ton OF fruit grown in any county In
New Mexico and Arizona, the first
prize to be 5000 90, the second $4,000
and the third $1,000. The best collec-
ton of fruit raised by any one exhibitor
will be $1,000 for the first prize and
5000 for the second. For the best and
garden products grown in any one
county the first prize will be $1,000,
the second $500 and the third 5000.
For the best general collection OF ores
from any county in New Mexico and
Arizona the first prize will be $4,000,
the st cond 500 90 and the third $4,000.
For TIE best ca binet collection of ores
belonging in New Mexico and Arizona
the first prize will be $500 and the
second $1,000. The association will
al ct" put up purses for individual exhi-
bi IN all the various products OF the
country.
L he executive committee has made
great innovation this year in the Gus
uomary program in the speed ring and
field sports. and have simply adjusted
things in this line to meet the de-
mands of the people who patronize the
fair.
There will be three Or four running
races for blood each day of the week.
No one can afford to miss the races this
year.
The experience of the association last
year convinced it that a ball tOurna-
ment and bicycle races we're among
the popular things with the people.
The association will therefore put up
S15O0.OO for ball tournament, to be
open to the world, the money to be Gi-
vided into four prizes: the first prize
5000 90. the second $4,000, the third
$4,000 and the fourth $4,000. No
charge will be made for entering the
ball teams in the tournament, but the
clubs entering will be required to
make their entry and file the names of
the players on or before August 10 at
midnight. 100000 will go to the fast.
est riders. A complete program OF BIZ
cycle races will be issued in a few
days
The secretary is in correspondence
with the railroad officials to secure ex-
ceptionally low rates to the fair this
year and is also urging the Railroad
Co. to give hOmeseekers excursion
rates from the eastern states to Albu-
querque during the fair, with thirty
days to look at the territory, if they so
desire, and return home on their excur-
sion rates.
The executive committee believe
that with the co operation of the Rail-
road Co. in getting homeseekers to
visit New Mexico during the fair,
where can be seen the resources of our
territory as they will be exhibited, the
value TO the territory. The Territorial
Fair association therefore appeals to
the citizens of New Mexico to join
with it in preparing a great exhibition
of New MeXicO's wonderful resources
that will be a credit and lasting benefit
to the territory.
