There bobbeG up the plan of preparing
for a great California mining exhibit ct
the Paris exposition in 1900 with the pros
pect that 1t will be cordially taken hold OF.
In connection with the great question of
revision of the Federal Mining Code
there was specifically placed before the
miners of the State the question as to
whether or not they favor the radical step
of abolishlng the APEX" or ''extra!ateral
right" law, which is distinguishing fea-
ture of the American mining system.
To-day these and other matters will be
acted upon, as will the questions of the
securing of Cabinet officer, the mineral
lands bill. and so on. Last evening the
delegates listened to lectures by w. T. G.
Hasson and Professor S. B. Christy, and
this evening Pro essor George Davis son
will address them on Alaska. There is
complete harmony in the association.

tees appointed and some resolutions
heard and referred. The convention got
into shape to handle business and re-
ceived business to dispose of to-day. There
were no discussions of matters or meas
ures.
The presentation OF a magnificent low
ing-cup to President J. II. Neff was one of
the pleasing features OF the proceedings,
and it was an evidence of the hearty reaJi-
ness with which Mr.. Neff would be again
continued in the Office if his consent
could be gained. The election of officers
will be one OF the interesting features of
to-day's business, and yesterday strong
and hopeful efforts to induce Mr.. Neff
to accept another term were being made
by his friends.
Should this effort not succeed to-day it
is thought that either John McMurray of
Trinity County, Judge ]. NJ. WaIling of
Nevada, Harold T. Power of Placer or
John Daggett Will be chosen.
In the presidents annual address and
elsewhere was manifested the gratifying

There are many ways of attempting to

is by the use of pure stimulants. The

j. w. Wooten, deputy sheriff of
Breathitt county, Ky, recently gave
some moonshiners a surprise that made
them feel creepy For years i'll that re-
gion the moonshiners had defied United
States law and officers. They had killed
several deputy sheriffs and never been
punished They not only killed United
States officers with bullets, but they
continued to manufacture with impuni-
ty whisky even deadlier than their
bullets. At last Wooten got even with
them. He had chain armor shirt
made that was entirely bullet proof He
tested it and found it so Then he ad-
vanced to a moonshiners' den in broad
day. There We're two men inside. He
ordered them to surrender, while his
aids stood back little out of harm 8
way The answer of the desperadoes
was a volley of musket balls. Wooten
stood boldly and received it without
the motion of hair. He had nerve as
well as bullet proof shirt, had Woo
ten. The moonshiners could not believe
their eyes. They fired again. They
might as well have fired at the sphinx
Of Egypt. A cold chill ran down the
moonshining spine. Was this man a
"ha'ant?" They thought they were deal
ing with a spook and dropped their
guns and surrendered, while their knees
knocked together. Wooten took posses
sion Of them, and then his aids came up
and marched them off.

THE U. S. ATTORNEYSnIP.

In recent issue the Lordsburg Liberal
announces that it has information that
Mr.. B. s, Rodey of Albuquerque, will be
appointed United States attorney for the
district of New Mexico, and says some
very pleasant things concerning that gen.
tleman.
In this connection, review of the
situation brings forth the following al
candidates: Frank W. CLANCY of Albu
querque, who is backed by Governo,
Otero, many leading Republicans and by
large majority of the members of the
territorial Republican committee and Of
the Republican county organizations, be.
sides having strong New England back
ing; A. @. Voorhees, of Ration, who has
some territorial backing and some Ohio
influence; Z. A. Fiske of Santa Fe, who
it is understood, is Endorsed by Secretary
Wallace, Surveyor General Vance, United d
States Marshal Foraker and has a special
champion in General Lew Wallace of
Indiana, ex governor of this territory
1t is said that exjustice OF the Territorial
Supreme court, John R. Nellie, is a can
didate. He has some local and Illinois
influence, urging his appointment. There
are several lawyers, non-resldents of the
territory, mentioned as candidates, and
the statesmen and political prophets on
the inside claim that the appointment
will go to an outside man. Indeed, it is
said that the appointment has been Of
fered to nonresident and will be made
as soon as congress meets.
The NEW MEXICAN ia for home rule in
this matter and for the good of the Re-
publican party in the territory and for
the sake of the people of New Mexico, it
is hoped that the appointment will 90 to
a home candidate.
As far as this journal is concerned, it
believes, every point considered and
taking everything into careful considera-
tlon, that the appointment of Mr.. Frank
W. CLANCY of Albuquerque, tried man,
IN able and successful lawyer, a staunch
Republican and who enjoys a most en-
7able reputation as a man, as a Citizen,
's lawyer and as Republican and who
has done yoeman service for the Republi-
,nn party in New Mexico for 20 years,
would prove highly pleasing and very
satisfactory to the people of New Mexico.

much friction in National Guard CIRCLES
partly because Colonel Draper tried to
run things too much on plan that suited

The interests of citizens of the United
States in the Klondike and other Brit.
ish goldfields are very great. In view
of this, if not on general principles, ii
was quite right for Attorney General
McKenna to overrule the tariff inter
probation which fixed discriminating
duty of 10 per cent additional OH goods
passed in bond into the United States
over Canadian railroads. We have an
arrangement for reciprocal tonnage du.
ties with Great Britain and her Euro.
pean possessions. The Interpretation of
Mr.. McKenna extends the same regula-
tions to goods brought from foreign
ports, landed in Canada, and brought
into our country in bond over the Ca
madam Pacific road. Such goods pay on
ly ordinary tariff rates. Only goods
from countries not having reciprocal
shipping tonnage duties with the Unit
ed States are subject to the 10 per cent
discriminating duty when brought into
the United States from points in Mexico
or Canada.

1t is time labor organizations and

is merely obstructive, like that Of the
horse, which only knows enough to
kick and plunge and rear unless it is
guided by somebody who knows how to
control it. The somebody, of course, in
Mr.. Mallock's view, is the intelligent
capitalist. The only wonder is that he
did not call labor mule.

There are no national guards with their

Destroying the Mosquito.

If the discovery of Professor Walter
T. Scheele of Railway, N. H., is worth
as much as is claimed for it, then the
doom of the dreadful mosquito is sealed.
Permanganate Of potash is what Pro-
fessor Scheele declares will destroy the
pest etfectually.
The researches of the professor last
summer threw much light ON the habit
and reason for being of the mosquito.
| Wherever vegetable albumen is found
in water, and that is wherever vegeta-
tion grows near water, there will be de-
veloped poisonous matter. From this
poisonous matter bacteria are born, and
from these comes the mosquito 1t flies
into the air charged full of deadly
| poison from the vegetable albumen. It's
one impulse is to get rid Of the albu-
men. In order to do this it inserts it's bill
into flesh, which is soft and yielding
| The swelling that results is from the
poison which the mosquito has injected
into the blood. 1t does not want to suck
the victims blood for food 1t simply
wants to get rid of the albumen which
makes it uncomfortable. AS this is
| elected the blood rushes into the mos
quito to take its place.
DR., Scheele says that if a pinch or
two OF permanganate of potash is put
into water in which there is any decay
ing vegetation it will unite with this
substance, turn it a dull pink color and
finally sink to the bottom. Then the
water becomes clear and is thoroughly
disinfected. The scheme is to sprinkle
mosquito ponds with the permanganate
Of potash and thus destroy the bacilli
of the decaying vegetation, precipitating
them dead and harmless to the bottom.
Then the mosquito cannot be developed.
DR.. Scheele boldly declares that he can
oxidize ten acre swamp with hand
full of permanganate of potash, costing
no more than 25 cents, and destroy every
mosquito germ i'll it. This operation,
repeated two or three times during the
mosquito season, will rid any part of
the country Of the pests
If you are going to Alaska or the
Klondike next spring, cut this out.

nations consists in standing notice to
them to keep "hands off" in affairs on
