Spain Has Been Deceived.

1t has been known for some time that
| the Spaniards were ignorant regarding
| the United States. her resources, strength
and wealth, but the depths of that
ignorance will possibly be better eN-
planned by reproducing from the organ
of the so-called Republican party of
Spain, edited by Senior Pi y Margall,
who is also a member of the chamber of
deputies, a paragraph taken from an
article protesting against the war policy
of the Sagasta ministry. The para
graph reads:
1.-THE country has been deceived, for
heretofore the United States have been
represented to be merely a nation of
merchants, unfit for war, incapable of
standing a long struggle, lacking a
navy, and imbued only with a greed for
gold. 1t was concealed from us that
this same nation had fought two wars
with Great Britain, one with Mexico,
and also the civil war of 1861, which
gave liberty to the slaves. The power
and strength of that nation have been
hidden from our people, as well as our
own weakness
1t is mex plicable to an American who
has been educated in the public schools
of the country, that a man of the intel
ligence and education possessed by Sc
nor Pi y Margill could plead Ignorance
of matters of history which seem to be
known all over the world outside OF
Spain. But it appears that the editor
and statesman does not hesitate tC
blame all the later day troubles of the
country on the other fellow, apparently
never thinking that he is, in every way,
responsible for his own ignorance. and
that if this information on matters
known by every school boy in America
and England is a fair indication of the
educational qualifications of the Span
ish people, it is high time they were be-
ing taught the necessity of studying up
on matters pertaining to the world of
today-the 10th century passed into his
tory some time back.

President Coram Tells Of the Won
derful Progress Of the Big
Cochiti Mine and Mill.
CALLED ON COY. 07ERo
Great Possibilities for Santa Fe as the Sup
ply and Receiving Point Of the 0ochiti
Impressions Of the Ancient City.

j. A. Coram, of Boston, president; O.
p. Posey, of Bland, managing director,
and Drs. E. w. Trueworthy and John
c. Irish, of Lowell, stockholders, of the
Cochiti Gold Mining company, operating
the Albemarle, spent yesterday in this
city. The gentlemen came over from
Bland for the purpose of paying their
respects to Governor Otero.
In an interview, Mr.. Coram said to q
New MEXICAN reporter, of the Abe
marie operations:
Everything is progressing satisfac-
torily to me and l believe other men,
bers feel likewise. The cyanide plant
now in process of erection, will have a
capacity of treating $50 tons of ore pei
day, however, it will not be crowded to
its maximum at first. Doubtless 15C
tons per day will be q conservative es-
innate of the production during the first
few months operation. 1t is unques.
tionably the finest plant of machinery
in America, and embodies all the latest
improvements for the reduction of ores
by the cyanide process. Everything is
of steel. The frame work for the big
tank house is up and the sheating near
" finished. The large tanks are being
ct up and riveted as fast as possible.
The steel frame for the engine and
crushing room is up. Rollers will be
used for crushing the ore."
What of the water supply for use in
the mill?
SAT present the water is being piped a
distance of three miles, from Peralta
canon. The connections are all made
and a good supply of water is assured.
Last week a large flow of water vas en-.
countered in the first level of the Able.
marie and ere long sufficient water will
be developed in the property for mining
and milling operations. We have a
large steam pump ordered which viii
keep the mine free of water"
What amount of development does the
| Albemarle show?
1.-THE shaft is down 300 feet and about
200 feet of underground development
work Is shown. The ore chute has been
developed a distance of 900 feet and we
have no knowledge how much further II
extends. The vein averages % feet in
| width, is a true assure and the walls
are of porphyry. Analysis shows the
ore to contain % per cent silica, IA PEI
cent iron, and the average value ranges
from $1O.5 SO to $12 per ton. The gold is
very fine, but the rock is easily crushed
and the treatment Is sure and cheap.
The mill will begin operations about
July L."
How many men are you working?
"Now, 1876. The pay roll last month
was $4,000. New buildings are being
constructed rapidly for various purpose.
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-06-25

The Rogcrs-Anderson boarding house
is feeding over 70 men, and the Abe
marie house is taking care of 40. About
a dozen well constructed two-story
buildings are up. Albemarle will be a
busy and prosperous little mining camp.
The Albemarlc building and equipment
will cost about $3.50, 600. The magni.
tude of the plant cannot be appreciated
without being seem"
What are the prospects of the Cochiti
Gold Mining Co., locating their general
offices in Santa Fe?
Very good, if the people here would
awake to the Importance of the matter
and offer an inducement, such as good
roads and quick transportation. 1t
would be Il convenient arrangement,
indeed, for Bland would then be
within "a hours of Denver and no eX-
cusc would exist for taking another
route. The Rio Grande river should be
bridged and IA stage line put on at once.
1t seems strange that the business men
of Santa Fe do not evince a little more
enterprise in regard to this matter.
There is no reason why the city should
not be the supply point for provisions
and destination of the wealth OF the Co
chit. The success of the Albemarlc
will bring millions of dollars into the
region and Santa Fe could, by eXefting
a little effort and push, compare to the
Cochiti as Colorado Springs does to Grip
pie Creek. 1t would make a thriving
city of Santa Fe and, it appears to me,
that such a course would be the saliva
ton of the city,"
What are your impressions of Santa
Fe?
"It is a beautiful city and | am very
much interested in the curiosities, etc,
found here. | have often remarked to
my friends that as much of interest can
be found in the interior towns of New
Mexico as in the center of India
Mr.. Coram has travelled over the globe
extensively and his opinion is weighty.
He is one Of the superior types of sue.
cessful western mining men, combining
g~eniality and good will with great
wealth. Though a millionaire, he is
easily approached, an entertaining con-
versationalist, and is not arrogant or
important in his actions. He naturally
gains the confidence and friendship of
his listener and his words convey the i'm
preston that he knows what he is talk
ing about, and is conservative in his
statements. He returned to Bland last
evening, accompanied by o. P. Posey,
where he will remain until the mill be-
gins operations.
Messrs. j. C. Irish and Z. w. True
worthy returned to their homes in Low
ell, Mass. last night. Doubtless their
report on conditions as they found them
will be cheering to the Massachusetts,
stockholders.

Colonel Woods LIST T.. S. volunteer
cavalry, the rough riders received
its baptism of blood in a fight yesterday
a few miles from Santiago de Cuba, The
United States forces, consisting of eight
~dismounted troops of that regiment and
a battalion of regulars, numbering
about 1000 men, attacked double that
number OF Spanirads who were in II
strongly fortified position and routed
them. One officer and seven troopers
were killed and three officers and II
troopers were wounded. Among the
wounded is Sergeant w. G. Armiio, of
troop f, a grandson of Colonel j. Frank
Chaves, of Valencia county. In its first
fight the regiment distinguished itself
and fought bravely and successfully
and the New MEXICAN fully believes
such will be its record during the entire

The Half Has Never Been Told.

A well known farmer of Santa Fe
county writes the New MEXICAN for
explicit directions relative to the culture
of the sugar beet and desires to know if
the industry is really of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant extensive culture
of the product, and why the matter is
agitated more than wheat raising, etc.
Unquestionably, the matter isof para
mount Importance to New Mexico agri-
culturists, for the effects of sugar beet
raising and refining are far reaching
and more generally beneficial than any
industry allied to husbandry.
the farmer is benefited in several
ways. First, by having a permanent
market with a good price for the prod
uct. Second, a never failing crop, thus
enabling him to make and meet obliga-
lions without ieopardizing his home and
possessions. Third, property is ad-
vanced in value and useless tracts of
sagebrush become income returning and
commercially important %adjuncts to the
farmers wealth. Fourth, there is no
waste to the product and the pulp can
be secured for stock feeding purposes
for almost nothing. Sugar beets will
never be used to bed down stock and fill
mattresses, nor burned for fuel. Fifth,
there is no danger of loss by fire, and
no necessity to hold the crop for higher
market prices, for the erection of re-
fineries will keep pace with the produc-
ton and the present annual demand for
consumption, of 1000, 900 tons of sugar,
will not be furnished at home for years
to come. AS an evidence of this, last
year the United States imported over
$50, 900, 900 worth of sugar and nearly
$2, 900, 900 worth of molasses and con-
%fectionery. Sixth, the land requires
less care and the beet tops are natural
fertilizers.
The industry furnishes a more solid
foundation for commercial communities
| than any other business. Banks and
capitalists generally exercise greater
freedom in loans, for the results are
sure. Weather conditions, ETC., have
no terrors and a free circulation OF
money is guaranteed. The sugar fac.
tory coins the product of the soil into
money with the regularity and precision
of d mint, and the farmer with a good
sized tract of sugar beet land is as safe
as the capitalist who sits in his office
and clips coupons from his government
bonds. Work for idle men on the farm
and in the factory, imposing buildings
and general prosperity, are features Of
the communities relying on the beet
| sugar industry for sustenance. Wheat

Those great stricklers for the consti-

want everything their own way and who
think they should run the country, are
very much depressed, because the coun-

take a very gloomy view of the situation
and prophesy all sorts of disasters to
come. These professional constitution
supporters are a nuisance, to say the

Nearly two months after the battle at

it will require six years for the Dons to
realize that Cuba has been invaded and
the Spanish soldiers are hunting tall
timber in the interior for protection.

and other agricultural products have
never given farming localities the i'm,
portance that sugar beat raising has.
The town of Eddy in this territory is
becoming an example of this, Though
isolated from the beaten paths of com
merce it is forging ahead as one of the
industrial centers of the territory and
it owes its progress and future, in a great
measure, TO the beet sugar industry.
The half has never been told of the
benefits of the business and the agricul-
turist and merchant can draw on their
~imaginations as largely as possible and
still have room for something additional
of IL beneficial and practical nature.
Raw sagebrush land will produce
about ten tons per acre and in New
Mexico the beets will return from IA to
30 per cent in %saccharine matter,
Sugar beets are oval tubers resemb-
ling parsnips. They will thrive in any
soil and wifi yield from eight to Is tons
per acre in this territory The price
paid for beets by sugar factories runs
between "a and S. per ton. The cost OF
blowing, planting, %cultivating, harvest
ing and working the crop is about $50.
and the returns are $75 per acre. The
figures apply to regions within easy &C
cess of a market. Unsaleable beetS are
fed to stock. The tops are left to fer
tilize the ground.
Each beet crop leaves the soil free OF
weed seeds and in better condition.
Land should be plowed about ten
inches, and seeds drilled in rows about
Is inches apart. In about a week the
plants will be up nicely. Then culti-
vate and irrigate" about every two weeks.
There is danger of oyer i%rrigating.
Keep the soil stirred and weeds down.
About a month from the time of plant
ing. thin down until the beets stand
from three to six inches apart. l'eets
growing close together have upright
tops and do not contain as much saccha-
rine matter as those having low flat
tops. The saccharine matter is largely
gathered from the atmosphere and
widespread tops are insured unless
crowded in the soil.
The beets will be relished when young
as greens and later as pickles. They
make excellent stock feed. From them
are produced sugar, syrup, confection-
cry and rum. In addition to the steady
income from beet sugar production the
factories put money in the pockets OF
the farmer by creating a home demand
for everything the farm will produce,
and in furnishing work to hundreds of
men, women and children.
New Mexico, having as it does a slop-
ing southern exposure. which warns
the soil and dries the atmosphere, is
better fitted for sugar beet raising than
any other region on earth for the sugar
beet requires u strong sunlight and dry
atmosphere. The roots, and not the
tops, require moisture, Therefore, the
less rain the better and moisture must
be supplied by irrigation. Thousands
of acres of idle, arid land in the terri
tory will be reclaimed from uselessness
when the farmers realize that tracts OF
sagebrush are jewels of greater price
than the emerald girted farms of the
rain belt, and are capable of producing
better financial results.
