NEW M EXiCO MINES.
Operations in This Territory Attracting

A special to the Denver Mining
Record from Las Vegas, dated
June 4, says:
Chris Wlegand is in the city
today from Golden, Santa Fc
county. lie has jnst finished Il
shipment Of 100 tons of ore to the
North smeItcr at Cerrillos which
gave him a profit Of $40 per ton.
He has now ready $50 tons more
from the same mine, the Grown
Point, which he will send to the
smeltcr in Il few days. He thinks
it is a little better ore than the
first shipment, The company
have had drawings made for Il
smelter to be put up on their
ground. The Crown Point is ca
pab!e Of furnishing an unlimited
amount of the same kind of ore
that they are having tested at the
North smelter.
The San Pedro copper smeltcr
will blow IN one Of It's stacks this
week. Manager Mclaughlin Will
make the start agan at these
famous mines that have lain idle
50 long. The whole plant is ca
pable of working 200 tons per day.
Litigation has held this property
up for the past eight years.
The miners in Santa Fe and
Bcrnalillo counties have waited fol
capital long time, but now they
will be able to push their work
along in a small way on account
of the new mills that have beer
put up this year. At Cerrillo,
there are two smclters, and TIVE
amaIgamators at Golden, and nov
comes the finest plant IN the ter
ritory at Cochiti, that will be ca
pablc of handling immense quan
titles of ore.

sufficient to brc TX the monotony
for nearly a month. Irrigation
bitches are still full, however, and
Notwithstanding the absence of
rain crops in all sections, with a
few isolated exceptions, are well
advanced and thriving. In some
localities, however, the effects of
the drouth are beginning to be
felt seriously, and wheat, oats,
corn, etc, are practically at a
standstiIl. Rain is very much
needed for the ranges, specially IN
northeastern counties.
The first cutting of alfalfa is
generally secured and, with few
exceptions, the yield IS quite sa,
ti8factory. Corn planting is com
plcted and in we'll irrigated por-
tions the fields are making q fine
appearance. Wheat, barley and
oats are advancing rapidly and
heading satisfactorily. In the
lower Pccos valley planters are
securing a good stand of sugar
bcets. Gardens continue i'll a
hourishing condition.. Reports
from scattered sections indicate
that grassaoppers are proving
very destructive to growing crops.
In northern sections fruits are
not so promising, owing to the
frost Of May 90, and to the pro
tractcd drouth, but IN central and
southern localities the Infections
are for a good yield. Apples,
peaches, apricots and cherries arc
large, and full on trees, Som G
localities promise not so large a
yield, but excellent fruit. Peaches
are especially promising in the
GlIa river sections, and one cor
respondent reports that the limbs
of the trees are breaking down
with the fruit.
Reports indicate that stock con
tInues IN prime condition, al
though grass on the ranges Is get
ting short, but the continued
drouth threatens to defer the

The statement that newspapers,

patriotic, will not bear the light Of
reason or common sense. 1t Is the
muzzlCd newspaper that Is unpa-
trlotic. If 1t puts muzzle on
itself for the purpose Of securing
federal or other patronage, it's un-
true to its country. The strength
of American institutions is in free

press. An administration that
cannot endure and profit by free

Spanish land grants will for while
stand IN the way. The territorial
land board should be gwen as much
latitude as possible in making Sc
icctions. 50 that as good lands as
practicable may be secured. 1t is
not the intention of Congress to
compel New Mexico to select lands
of little value. The object is to
help and strengthen the territory,
aud the way to do this is to let the
territorial authorities select as
good lands as may be found in pos
session of the National government.
Irrigation will add to the arabic
area of the territory, and the lands
should be selected as nearly as pos
slb!e with regard to the practicabl-
lty of reclaiming them by t G oons-
truchon of irrigation works. Mr..
Ferguson is to be congratulated
upon the good work he has done
in this connection, and 1t is hoped
that the Senate will throw no obs
lacle in the way of his complete
success.

PHILIPPINE PRODUCTS.

The five leading products of
the PHILIPPINE Islands are sugar,
hemp, tobacco, corpa and coffee,
and their importance from a reve-
nue. standpoint is IN the order
The sugar production has grad
ualy increased until in 1898 it
reached POI, CSC tons, and the
average increase per annum since
is estimated at Is, 600 tons. Ac-
cording to this estimate the pro
duction for 1897 would be some.
thing over 100000 tons. The
principle amount comes from the
province adjoining the Manila Bay.
The sdgat exports 60 chiefly to
Spain ard Great Britain, though
some come to tho United States.
Coffee was introduced into the
Philippines from Brazil, and when
properly cultivated IS very pro,
ductive and of an excellent quality.
On account of tho disturbance OF
recent years their has been a fall
ing off in its production, but with
peace restored the islands would
yield about $500 tons per annum
There are two kinds, the Manila
and ZambOanga, the former beng
regarded as the more valuable
both for home consumption and
export.
The hemp from the Philippines
rs produced from a species of the
banana plant. 1t is used in the
manufacture of a highly priced
cordagc, and also in the produc-
ton Of a variety OF fabrics and
ornaments. In 1893 the total
export was 81, 7S7 tons, and was
valued at something over Sl0,.
600, 900.
Tobacco stands next in impor.
tance, and the quality of the
Manila brand is far.famed. BY
the majority of dcalersit Is regard
ed as equal to the celebrated
Havana, and by some it is regard
ed as decidedly superior. In 1895
about II 900 tons Of leaf tobacco
were exported, and nearly 40,
600, 600 cigars.
The corpa, a species of the Goa
nut, Is produced in great quaint
ties and is highly priced by the
natives and others. The cXpor
in 1928 was II 500 tons.
In addition to the foregoing
maize, sweet potatoes, yams
ground nuts, gourds, Irish potG
toes and pcase are grown in abun
dance. Here are found all th
tropical fruits and plants.
As TO mineral products, gold i
found IN paying quantities, an,
iron Is found in abundance and @
an excellent quality. There ar
two large coal fields, one in Soutl
crn Luzon ana the other in th
western slopes of Cebu. - ST

Misery manifestly is immedicable. Life
is a vale of tears. We respire, aspire,

is the reverse of the medal. ~
: Society is an elixir of bon-bons. It
represents the joy of being alive, the
presence of beauty, usually of birth,
occasionally Of brains, but always
wealth, and with it every opportunity
for fastidious delight. Breathed
through the newspapers,the atmosphere
seems a trif1e heady. One fancies it to

identical. That object is the enjoy

IN washington last week it was re-
ported that young gentlewoman, Mrs.
lnomas +. Lane, daughter Of Senator
blackburn, had attempted suicide. Sub
sequently the occurrence was attrib-
u.ed to an accident, and the report de-
Hieo. The incident may, therefore, be
dismissed. But text remains. A
month ago Miss Leila Herbert, daugh-
ter OF the former secretary of the navy,

night later Miss Mary Waite, daughter
OF the ex-governor of Colorado, took
poison. Meanwhile Miss Wells put a

IS colloquial to term the best set. In
olvldually their deaths are recent.
Each is without apparent motive. All
occurred in Washington. Why?
That question it is the purpose of this
article to consider. .t
BY way of preliminary, a definition
or two may help. Nine. de Stael-a
lady whose graces Byron described as
not those of the person-commended
suicide. She declared it to be the act
OF one who has conquered even the fear
OF death. Suicide, however, is little
else than assassination driven in, Those
who want to die usually do so because
others don't. When they happen to
have another reason it is more often
than not because they really want to
live. What they don't want are the
mlseries attendant on their own par
tlcular existence. Abolish them and
they will swear by Methuselah.

pain is real. I have thought so for
eight odd years, and I have hit on no
better plan than to resign myself to
the inevitable and reflect that flies were

character which have occurred there
are due to a pathological condition of a
morbid type. But it should be noted,
too, that while now and again men of
position kill themselves, the suicide of
a girl OF position is so unusual that
when it comes to a succession of them,
six, one right after the other, the cir
cumstance ceases to be unusual, it be-
comes unexampled. In the history of
affiliated cities, in the social chronicles
OF New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltlmores nothing of the kind is to be
found. Washington, however, is an
other kettle Of fish. New Workers. Bos-

enthetically, which, conducted on the
European plan, lacks European re-

various administrations gather there
bring their beauty, and sometimes lose
their heads. That is natural. In the
diplomatic set they encounter men who
differ entirely from those of their race.
The girls, too, differ from any whom
these men have met.
1t is the rehashing of platitudes to
state that society as it is constituted
on the other side differs radically from
society as constituted here, but the re-

MERRY WARFARE.

When Two Society Women Hate Each

You can't appreciate what may be

than is enjoyed by the married at
home. The fact surprises, and no won
der. Then, presently, before the sur
prise can subside, it has occurred that
without effort, almost without knock,
ing, he finds himself admitted into the
Intimacy of young girls heart.
Before him are candors such as he
has never presumed to approach, OPP
portunities for investigating them such
as he has never known. Before her is
the easy glitter of suggested scenes,
evocations of sumptuous courts; the ro-
nance of the remote, the spangle of
title, perhaps, and, with it, the reso-
nance of sOnorous name.
Such things affect girl. In their
absence there are the terrible chaps
from the departments Of the Navy and
the War. The sword is yet to be
forged that can work swifter havoc
than the CLEAN of brass buttons, the
sheen of gold braid and shimmering
blue. Such things affect a girl also.
But not infrequently the foreigner is
preferred. In addition to other attrac-
lions, washington provides him with
background of political thimblerig-
gers and provincial scum. 1t sets him
off.
There, too, title can be divided. A
count makes a countess There is a
magic in that. It has happened, how
ever, that the title has already been
divided. It has occurred that the own
er is not dividing just then. The in
evitable does not necessarily ensue.
There is an effect that does. That it
should lead to suicide is pathetic.
It is worse. There is nothing as dis
NAL as a young girls death. She has
lived so little. In her heart is the
longing and the dream of beautiful
to-morrows. 'Wait for me-" she cries

AT an anniversary of deaf and dumb
asylum, one of the children wrote up
on the blackboard words as sublime as
the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the 'sDivina
Commedia" all compressed in one par
agraph. The examiner, in the signs
OF the mute language, asked her, "Who
made the world?" The deaf and dumb
girl wrote upon the blackboard, "In the
beginning God created the heaven and
the EARTH" The examiner asked her,
For what purpose did Christ come in
to the world?" The deaf and dumb
girl wrote upon the blackboard, "This
is faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came in
to the world to save sinners" The
examiner said to her, why were you
born deaf and dumb, while I hear and
speak?'' She wrote upon the black
board, Even so, Father; for so it
seemeth good in thy sight" Oh, that
we might be baptized with a contented
spirit. The spider draws poison out
OF flower, the bee gets honey out of
a thistle, but happiness is a heavenly
elixir, and the contented spirit extracts
1t, not from the rhododendron of the
hills, but from the lily of the valley.
