THE HORTICULTURAL FAIR.
An Extensive List Of Premiums for Ex-
hibitors,

The premium list just published for
the third annual fair, to be held the first
week in October, Is very full and we'll
arranged. Besides the classes Of fruits
it contains those of vegetables, flowers
and preserves, introduced last year, and
the new one of horticultural photos
graphs, now first inserted.
The premiums cover collections and
also all the best known varieties, and
are in number as follows: Apples, 1856;
crab apples, IL; peas, IS; peaches, 81;
plums, "a; apricots, 10; nectarines, 10;
ounces, II; grapes, rs; nuts, 10; mis-
cellaneous fruits, As; preserves, dried
fruits, ETC., Sc; vegetables, IS; flowers,
50; photographs, %.
The total amount in cash premiums
offered is $719. AS the fruit crop is a
failure in some sections, those where
fruit is good should send their very best
specimens in order to have an exhibi-
ton creditable to the territory. New
localities like the Pecos valley, Otero
county and the San Juan region, espe-
cially, should take advantage Of this
opportunity to bring their horticultural
products prominently before the coun-
try.

A BIG TRANSACTION
Interests in the Ortiz Grant in Santa
Fe County About to Change Own
ers At a Big Price.
THOS. A. EDISON THE BUYER
The Invento, Has a Process for Placer Min
ing and the Unbiased Properties Will
Be Made Productive by the
Purchaser.

The sale by the New Mexico Mining
Company of the Ortiz land grant in the
southern part of this county to Thomas
A. Edison, the celebrated electrician, is
understood to be a fact. N consider
alton is high, but cannot be learned
at this writing. Mr.. S. G. Burn, of New
York, who represents Mr.. Edison and
associates, has been on the grant sew
eral times, made a thorough inspection
of it, and is thoroughly acquainted with
the ore and placers thereon and the pos
sibilities and probabilities. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Edison has a new process to
/ treat the vast bodies of low-grade ores
| and gold placer beds on the property
successfully, and expects the venture to
| pay well.
There are about fourteen leases OF
| mines on the grant yet in force, and OF
| course these will stand. Among the
leasers are S.. H. Elkins, of Columbia,
Mo-, who holds a lease on the Cunning
| ham mine and extensions; the Ortiz
| Mining Company of st. Louis, holding
| a lease on the Ortiz mine; L.. M. Eng
| fish, of Dolores, who holds several
leases neal Dolores; ]. B. Mayo, OF
| Golden, who has the Pat Cullom leases;
]. w. Akers, of this city; Chris. Vie
gand and others. The Benton and Live
Oak claims We're also under lease to the
Waddingham estate, but who holds the
leases now is not definitely known.
L. M. Lawson, son of the president of
the New Mexico Mining Company, was
here a couple of weeks ago, while nego-
tiations were in progress. The interests
held by Senator S. B.. Elkins, of West
Virginia, and r. C. Kerens, of st. Louis,
go in the sale.
The grant is in the hands of a receiv-
| err, MI. S. H. Elkins, who is now here,
| preparing his final report for submits
| sion to the district court, n who will
ask for discharge and turn the property
over to the new purchasers as soon as
they are ready to receive it. Mr.. Burn,
who is now on the grant, will very like
ly be the man to relieve Mr.. Elkins.
1t is said by the Edison people that
should the extensive placer beds on the
grant yield 20 cents per yard they will
have an immense thing under the proc
ess that Mr.. Edison proposes to inaug-
urate.
There are no squatters on the grant,
Mr.. s. H. Elkins, during his term as re-
ceiver, having had them removed one
and all, and, barring the leases above
mentioned, the property is absolutely
free, and will so pass into the hands of
the new purchasers.
The vast mineral resources of the
grant have been idle for many years,
much to the detriment of the material
progress Of this county. The change OF
ownership and working the property
will result in the employment Of many
men and be of great benefit to the city
and county of Santa Fe.

"Tor the Sake Of Fun, Mischief il
Done"

A vast amount Of mischief is done,
too, because people neglect to keep their
blood pure. The mischief appears in
eruptions, dyspepsia, indigestion, ner-
vousness, kidney diseases, and other
ailments. This mischief, fortunately,
may be undone by the faithful use of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which cures all
diseases originating in or promoted by
impure blood.

between the smiling cliffs Of hope and

ONE EFFECT OF TRUSTS.

San Jose Herald: 1t lie estimated that
rs. 900 drummers have been thrown out
of employment by reason OF the ndust-
rial combinations known IS trusts. Hotel
propriesors in every part Of the country
are complaining OF the loss Of business
consequent upon the recall OF these
travelling men. The railroads also feel
the satisfaction from their earnings.
1t would be interesting. il possible, to
follow the results of this business change.
II 5000 drummers have been taken oil
the road, how many other employees have
been discharged by the business houses
represented by these commercial travel
ere, How many such establishments
have been closed altogether! How many
persons are consequently Strengthened in
means and what loss does that mean to
dealers Of various kinds? How many
advertisements have been taken out OF
newspapers! The recall OF this army OF
employees is felt in all branches OF
business.
This is aside from the question OF the
good or evil effect of the trusts upon
production and distribution. Ii may be
argued with some speciousness that the
calling 10 of the drummers, the closing
of stores, discharge Of employees, cutting
down of advertising bills, etc.. enables
the trusts to cheaper production. That
is one Of the fAvorite general theories oil
book economists, but ID fails to take
notice of several phases of the matter.

FRANCHISE TAXATION.

The statement now comes from respon'
sible sources that the counsel OF fne org
New York corporations have decioea
.h.. .hs franchise law recently enacted
by the Legislature is valid and can Ds
enforced. Under this law, securities Will
Ia ..xsd the same ss real estate. Iney
will he assessed st their market value
With thu one third discount that Is al
,ow.a in tbs market value OF real estate.
Tn. sffscs of this law will be to increase
che .moout of taxes paid by the Metro
nol;,.n Street Railroad Company from
500. 900 to g. ZOO. 900. The company
b.. outstanding $40. 900, 900 Of stock and
600 600. 900 Of bonds, the market value
of which is sl25, 900, 600. Two-thirds
- NH. sum is in round numbers $685.
oOO OOO The New York tax rate is p
per cent, which would require OF that
company about 100000.
The s. f. Bulletin says the singular
feature of this arrangement is that the
LAWYERS should have advised the corpora
t;ons that the law was valid and could
be enforced. IL is not the practice OF
corporation lawyers to consider as valid
laws involving such large sums OF money
until the courts have decided them to be
valid. A reason for this unexpected
submission may be found in a doubt oil
the expediency of making g contest on
taxes in the present condition OF the
public mind on the trust issue.

elf the railroad companies can control
the appointment Of the Attorney General
and Justices Of the Supreme Court,
what do they care for the lsw!" Such
is the language used by an Important
and intelligent witness before the In
dustrial Commission last week, says the
st. Louis Repnblic.
Whether il 10 q fact or not that cor
porate control of these important Judi
ciarv f~upctionsries exists, the menace
grows under the present aggressive u
u~surpative tendencies OF large sgere-
cations Of capital. Proof sccumulates
daily that combines, organized to de-
stroy competition in the field Of trans-
portatioD, production or manufacture
are as surely placing their tools In the
seats of legislative and judiciary power
as thew are using the leverage OF vast
wealth to crush trade rivals and COM
petitors.
Whenever an election occurs. Federal,
State or municipal. whose outcome may
affect the interests Of these combines,
their instruments and their money are
in evidence, working to place in power
men friendly to their plans and purposes.
Herein lies the menace Of trusts and
their assistant corporations. Unless
there is soon an effective and sweeping
rebuke administered to these public
enemies for their sncroachments upor
the commercial and political prerogstive'
Of the country. the people are in dange'
Of having not only the yoke OF business
serfdom placed about their nscks but o
being subjected to . government con
srolled and administered in every brsnci
by the allied trusts.
