New Mexico and Arizona.

New Mexico had a wonderful revival
in 1897. 1t commenced a year ago when
its enormous herds of cattle and sheep
almost doubled in value in the markets
and with the rapid advance in the price
of wool and kindred products. The
stock outlook in New Mexico never was
better than it is today. The same may
be said with regard to gold, silver, cop
per and lead mining. Many gold camps
have taken on new life, notably the Red
River district. Just across the Colorado
line, and Cochiti, further to the south
west. Irrigation enterprises of great
magnitude are now under way, and more
railway building is now in progress or
contemplated in New Mexico than in any
other western state or territory. The
new country now open to settlement in
the Pecos valley. because of the big irri-
CATION plans now being carried out there,
is an empire in itself. The extension of
the railway south from Eddy, and also
the construction of a line of railway
opening up the White Oaks country,
means a new era for New Mexico. A
large amount of building is now going
on and many of the towns are enjoying
a period of activity akin to the ''boom
days"
Arizona's best year was the II which
closed last night. Every town in the
territory is humming. Larger enter
prises and more of them are now under
way than ever before known. Millions
of dollars are being expended in irriga-
ton and vast valleys placed in condition
for settlement. According to official
reports there was a larger immigration
into Arizona in 1897 than in any pre-
vious year. Mining, both for gold and
copper, is at the height of that industry,
and the stock industry is thriving as it
never did before. Denver Republican.

combined in it. Plain cloaking with q
plaid reverse is also used and requires no
lining.
For tailor made costumes intended for
hard, general service, besides the plain
cloths of various weights and oil colors,
there are ribbed and striped goods, includ-
ing worsted corduroy cloths, which are
extremely durable.
Velvet corduroy and plain velveteen in
bright and dark colors compose very
warm separate bodices Of the shirt waist
variety and are winning great popularity
because of their serviceable quality.
silk and wool mixed crepons having
embossed floral patterns are among the
newest materials. They are somewhat ex-
pensive, but very pretty, and appear in all
black and in color combined with black.
Gauzc embroidered with spangles in
various designs is to be had in all tints
for evening bodices and gowns. 1t is made
up over u lining of silk of the same color
OF Il color which will be harmonious.
Transparent and semitranspacent ma
terials are extensively employed for ball
gowns. A picture is given of an evening
costume having a plated skirt of white
crepe de chine decorated with applications
of lace and hung over Il lower skirt of
white satin. The low cut blouse bodice,
which is crossed diagonally in front, is Of
sky blue satin embroidered and spangled
with steel. The minute sleeves are scarce
ly more than pulled shoulder straps and
are fastened to the bodice by diamond
buttons. The belt, which is tied at the
side, is of peacock blue velvet fastened by
a diamond buckle. The gloves are of
blush pink glace kid. JUDO CHoLLET.

Two Good Suggestions.

According to estimates in the New
Years editions of the Denver papers
New Mexico's mine output for the past
year is: Gold, 81 $50, 900; silver, $780,
900: copper and lead, 81 SOC, 900; tur-
quois. $500, 900: coal, 81 PSI, coo, or a
total of S., 555, 900. These figures may,
perhaps, be considered by some as ex-
ccssive. but mining men seem to agree
that they are not far from a reasonable
estimate, since it has long been recog-
nized as a fact that much of the mineral
product of this territory goes to Colo
RADIO smclters and is absorbed in the an
nual showing of that state. The Las
Vegas Optic suggests that the next leg
islature should look to this matter and
designate some person whose duty it
shall be to gather such data officially.
How would it do to make such duty part
of the work of the director of the School
of Mines? Indeed, the idea might most
properly be carried further by requiring
that the president of the Agricultural
college shall also gather statistics per
tanning to the agricultural and horti-
cultural interests of the te~rritory.-Al-

THERE is something wrong concerning
the reports from Cuba. The population
OF the island on January /, 1897, was
estimated at about 1,50O, 900 people.
The Cuban iunta in New York reported
on the goth of December last, that dur
ing the year 1897, 600, 900 persons have
died on the island and that at present
they are dying at the rate of 1,50O a day.
This means that the population of Cuba
is being rapidly extcrminated and that
in another year or so, there will be less
than 5 per cent of the population, count
ed on January /, 1897 alive. This GER
tainly cannot be so. 1t is too fearful
and fearful a spectacle. One must
believe that the Cuban junta for pur-
poses of its own is, to say the least,
publishing exaggerated accounts of the
situation and is thereby iniuring the
cause of Cuba libre.

THE miners of Grant county do not
take kindly to the plan, submitted by a
committee of the last International gold
mining convention at Denver for a
change of the United States mining
laws as at present existing. The miners
of Grant county are right. The plan
proposed is radically wrong in many re-
spects and if adopted by congress would
prove very detrimental to the great min
ing interests of this country. that have

GOVERNOR MOUNT, of Indiana, is going
right along doing his duty as the chief
executive of his state without much
ostentation. He has announced that he
is not a candidate for the U. s.. senate.
He has been elected chief magistrate of
the state, and his duty lies in filing the
Office to which he has been chosen.
That is a right and dignitied position
for the governor. But the good old
fashion of letting the office seek the
man now and then, instead of waiting
for the man to seek the office, might on
occasion be revived. And if the Repub-
licans win next year in Indiana, and
that fashion should happen to be re-
vived-well, what is the matter with

GREAT is the transatlantic cable,
great is the man who sends news to this
country owe it and great is Mr.. W. w.
Aston, now a resident of London. Says
u recent cable dispatch: Mr.. Astor
introduced the novel and very practical
plan of providing each gentleman as he
entered the house with an envelope con-
tanning the name of the lady he was
destined to take in to dinner. 1t then
became his duty to seek her out, and II
necessary to make her acquaintance,
thus saving his host all further trouble"
In addition to being great, and having
the inside on cable news, Mr.. Aston is
also possessed Of true ingenuity, as the
above fully indicates.

THE Chinese system of civil service.
now in operation in the bureaus and
offices of the federal government, ought
to be modified in accordance with the
spirit of the age and the demands of the
people of this country. Over on this
side of the water no b~eaurocracy modelled
upon the Chinese or the German or the
French system is wanted. This is a
republic and not an etfete monarchy.
