O, what is the cry that is rending the
sky,
All over the South and the West?
From far and from near the same slo-
gan we hear.
With never pause or rest.
Though faint in the East, 1t is ever in

AS you follow the course of the sun,
Till the Rockies are passed, with
wild trumpet blast,
For silver at sixteen to one.
It sounds to the tramp of the far min

Then comes over mountain and
plain;
Till caught in the mouth Of the planter
down South,
While the farmer takes up the re-
frain.
Wherever It's found it's a magical
sound,
And a wonderful work it has done.
Here, there, everywhere, it is filing

Free silver at sixteen to one.

A Great Modern Industry.

One Of the new and important Amer
lean industries that has grown up dur
Ing the last twenty years, along with
the telephone, the bicycle, and the
amateurs camera, is that of the type
writer. In 1880 the aggregate capital
Invested in all four of these industries
was only a small part of what Is now
employed in the prosecution OF any
one OF them. The telephone and BIZ
cycle lead in Importance, the type
writer stands next. In 1890 thirty type
writer factories were in operation;
they employed 1,735 men, and the value
of their product was $3,690,126. In
1893 one typewriter company gave reg
ular employment to $500 workmen.
During that year some Of the leading
makers were weeks behind in their or
lers. In 1895 careful estimate placed
the number of machines in use not less
than 100000. During the year follow
Ing 3,426 typewriters were used in thir-
ty-four Office buildings in New York
city. A statement published in the
Photographic World of April, 1896,
showed that in New York there were
then more than 1900 typewriters in
use south of Fulton street and east OF
Broadway, and that throughout the city
the number of high-class machines In
daily operation exceeded $4,000. Chi
cago, it was estimated, used $4,000;
Philadelphia, 1880; Boston, 5000; st.
Louis, 4700; Baltimore, 1900; Wash
ington, $500; Cincinnati, $500, and
San Francisco, 1900, while Cleveland,
Buffalo, Pittsburg and Detroit used
more than 1000 machines each. In
not one of the dozen smaller cities of
the Union were to be found less than
500, and some of them had as many as
1900. The total number in use in the
United States was placed at 100000.
Since 1895 the manufacture and sale
of typewriters has greatly increased.
No statement of the exact number
made and used at the present time is
available; it certainly exceeds half a
million, and reaches perhaps three
quarters of a million. Agencies for
the sale of the machines and dealers
in typewriter supplies are located in
every city, and In many small towns in
the country. The number of schools
in which typewriting is taught is esti-
mated to be 1900, attended by more
than 10000 pupils, large majority OF
whom are women. Perhaps no other
distinctly American industry has been
so little affected by foreign competi-
ton as has that under consideration.
Despite repeated attempts on the part
of people OF other nations to devise
writing machines which would sup
plant these made in this country, the
American product is today as much a
fayorite abroad as it Is at home. In
fact, America practically supplies the
demand for typewriters all over the
world. The expectation OF them dur.
ing the past eight years has probably
been about one-third Of the entire pro
duction. The total value OF the type
writing machines and parts exported
during the fiscal year ending on June
30. 1897. was $1,566,91G Progress clos
es old avenues of labor, but it opens
new ones that are broader, longer ant
more renunerat!vs.

1888 to $119O a week, swltchmen from
$3.75 to $500, conductors the same as
switchmen, f1remen from SAT- to S761,
and brakemen from 1857 to $547. Shoe

street cleaners from 1888 to 1929, la
borers from 1886 to 1887, bakers from
$429 to 1924, policemen from $4.53 to

blacksmiths and horseshoers from $4.29
to STA, machinists from $429 to $5.71,
boiler makers from $2.S6 to $685. and
so on.
Mr.. Erdman asks how a country
where unskilled labor is paid at the
rate Of from slips to So day is to COM
pete with skilled labor receiving as
little as so cents.
Some American firms have taken adj
vantage Of conditions in Silesia Thus,
Mr.. Erdman reports that the Ar
buckles coffee people placed $4,000
order for posters there, because they
got lower price than American print
ers could quote. Several printing firms
have solicitors for American trade.
Many factories Of different kinds are
running day and night on American
orders.
While this is true Of the district
where Mr.. Erdman is stationed, the
trade report of the German empire as
whole tell a different story. 1t Is a
fact, as shown by the recent treasury
bulletin published in Washington, that
German importations have, to mark
ed and material extent, fallen off this
year. From 1894 to 1897 inclusive, TAX
ing the fiscal years of each year (year
ending July u German expectations to
the United States steadily increased
each year. In 1894 they amounted to
| S60,000,000, in 1895 to $S1 100000, in
1896 to $94,00O,0O0, and in 1897 to SILL
100000, the high mark. Last year the
| fiscal year recently ended, there was
a decline to $50 10000, falling off OF
forty-flve per cent Other countries
1t is true, exported less to the United
States, last year than in some OF the
years preceding, the decline OF French
imports being about twenty per cent
compared with 1897, of British imports
about thirty per cent, and of Holland
imports about five per cent. Ger

ager and will keep the mill at Golden
busy this summer. There are two dis
tinct veins of ore in the properties One
OF these starts from the grass roots and
is down 60 feet with four drifts at the
bottom. All the workings are in good
ore and as the bottom of the shaft is also
in good ore, 1t is presumed that the vein
Of this gold bearing ore Is much deeper
than the shaft. The ore is in blanket
form and the outcroppings can be seen
500 feet to the north Of the shaft. One
cut has been put in at that point. 1t |
Will take many years to work out this
one vein alone
The ore is low grade, from $3 per ton
up and mostly free milling At present

estimated that there is over million
OF tons of gold bearing ore in sight in |

mined at a cost not to exceed SO cents

OF the climate in south Santa Fe county,
work can be carried on almost uninter-

Special to the New Mexican.
Las Cruces, April 16.-District court

claimed the murder was committed.
There was considerable argument as
to the acceptance of the map and after
argument the court ordered 1t accepted.
James Gould was then sworn; he was
examined by Mr.. Catron. He said that
he had been working for McNsw at the
time Colonel Fountain and son disap-
peared. McNew was not at his ranch

A few days before this event Gilliland
came to the ranch, got a horse and car
tridges and said he was going to Ros-
well and rode off in the direction of Dog
canon. After Fountains disappearance
Gilliland and McNew came in together
and said that Fountain had disappeared
and Gilliland said that the old -
would not raise hell again.
Riley Baker was then called TO the
witness stand and was examined by Mr..
Catron; he stated that he. sand Gillland
were in the Sacramento mountains and
Gllliland showed him the point where
Lee, McNew and himself watched the
trailers following the trail of the men
supposed to have murdered Fountain
