The Cochiti Grant.

The private land grant court having
entered a Judgment in the Cochiti grant
case in accordance with the finding of
the United States Supreme court, the
question of title to the land occupied by
the Cochiti mining district is settled.
There should no longer be any lack of
development on account of that matter.
1t will be remembered that, shortly
after mineral in the Cochiti district was
discovered, a claim to a large grant COW
ering the land occupied by the mines
and prospects was asserted before the
private land grant court. This disheart-
ened the miners and others who had
gone into the new camp. They feared
that their titles would be interfered with
and so they almost entirely stopped work.
This greatly delayed the development Of
the district. which, in consequence, is no
further along now than some other
of much less age. But the Su-
preme court decided that the valid parts
of the grant did not cover the ground
occupied by the mines, and so the latter
are on the public domain.
Cochiti is a problem. 1t is uncertain
yet what it will amount to. In the opin-
ion of some persons it promises to be-
Il of the great camps of the
mountains. Others express doubt.
The truth will not be known until its
mineral bodies shall be sufficiently ex-
to show their real character.
This will require time, but at the rate
that work will probably progress during
the coming season it should not take
very long to show just what the value of
the district is.
Situated in the northern part of New
Mexico at a comparatively low level
above the sea, Cochiti would make al
most an ideal mining camp if it should
be shown to be rich in gold. 1t is but
Il short distance from the Rio Grande
and its climate should, under the
circumstances, be delightful. 1t will
doubtless attract a large population If
the hopes of its enthusiastic friends shall
be realized in reference to the develop
lnent of its mines.-Denver Republican.

Rosweu's Bright Prospects.

The people of Roswell have never
faltered in their faith that they live in
the best town in the best part of the best
valley in the territory of New Mexico.
The bona iide citizens of Roswell have
brought the town to its present state of
progress and prosperity. 1t is abreast,
but in no way ahead, of the country
surrounding it. The certainty of the
railroad extension will cause the farmers
to increase their crop acreage, will
cause an influx of both town and coun-
try homeseekers. Roswell can be ex-
pected to improve as the country i'm
proves, and as industries are inaugurated
the country will receive benefits by
reason of the increased consumption
of the town. Roswell and the surround
ing country have been pulling together
for mutual benefits, and this will con-
tinue.-Roswell Record.

support among men who, like himself,

probable that his proposition will be

fact that it is being made and so widely

of the decline of the Is to l idea and the

SKETCHES BY NJ. QUAD
The Colonel's Celebration.

The major sat on the hotel veranda,
a cigar in bis mouth and his feet on the
railing, when Colonel Nash came across
the square. The major saw that the
colonel was tangled in the legs" and
that he was headed for the veranda, but
he was not the man to give anything
away.
"Ah! Majah-zhat you,' exclaimed
the colonel, as he pulled himself up the
steps and came to a halt.
"Kurnel Nash, good mawnin to you
good mawnin," heartily replied the
major, as he arose and extended his
hand.
"N-nice day, Majah Davis"
Powerful nice day, Kurnel Nash.

"C-oan't stop, majah. Got 'er go

"Good mawnin, Kurnel Nash!"
The colonel fumbled his way down

The comina New Mexico Campaign.

The campaign of 1898 is fast APP
preaching and soon the Republicans of
New Mexico will be holding conventions
for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the Offices to be filled. In
making those nominations the party
will have to be governed by conditions
somewhat different than in the past,
and to disregard the new order of af-
fairs will be political suicide.
In the first place the men, who will
make the best race must be men who
will command the respect of the people
by reason of ability and fitness for the
office to which they aspire.
In the second place the candidates
must be men whose character and priv
ate life are above %reproach. The peo-
pie are sick and tired of voting for men
for the reason that they are smooth po-
litical workers or have money to burn
in the campaign, or influence enough to
secure nominations. The ability to use
money to buy votes Of any aspiring poll
tician will be a recommendation to only
a small portion of the voters, so small
in fact, that his name would be ''Den-
MIS- from the start.
And lastly, the people in the territory
have arrived at the conclusion that n
of the things which defeated statehood
was a corrupt condition in the politics
in the territory, and they are deter
mined to wipe out that reflection upon
the integrity Of New Mexico, by electing
representative men of known integrity.
This is the situation in political circles,
and would-be candidates will be wise in
governing themselves accordingly.

On the Ortiz Mine grant in this coun-

shape. 1t is said, that Thomas A. Edi-
son has a two years option for the pur-
