Mining Industry is Reviving.

1t is generally agreed that there
will be an opportunity this year
for Idaho to attract more capital
for investment i'll mines th IN for
many years past. Indeed, says
the Statesman it is the opinion of
those best posted that ii is possible
to secure more money for the
| development of our mineral re-
sources than has been brought into
the state in any three or four
years that have gone before. The
developments in the Seven Devils,
at Buffalo Hump, OIL the Salmon
river, in Boise basin, on the Boise
river and at other points are such
that there should be great at
tention attracted to them this
season.
AT Buffalo Hump there are now
many sales being made at good
figures. The properties changing
hands are mere prospects, but they
are being taken hold Of by ex
perienced men who fully under
stand their business and it may be
assumed that the claims justify
the investment, On the Salmon
river there is likely to be similar
activity, while all the old camps
in that region are in a condition
to arouse renewed interest. The
Seven Devils will surely make a
showing during the season that
will establish that district as one
of the richest copper and gold
regions in the west. Iu Boise
basin the developments are such
that there should be a revival re-
calling the early days of that sec
tion. On the Boise river the placer
operations will astonish miners
wherever the results are published
The fact will come ont that, oil
those high bars, there are old
channels that carry many dollars
to the cubic yard and that the de-
posits are of great extent.
Other states make noise when
they have such mining develop
ments 1t is necessary in this age
10 make noise to attract notice,
for every locality is striving to
draw the attention of capital; and
if Idaho is to secure the benefit
that it should from the favorable
conditions of the year it must do
what is called blowing It's own
horn. Our people must constitute
themselves into an agency oil
publicity and promotion and make
il their business to proclaim our
superior resources at all times and
on all proper occasions. The facts
must be spread before the world,
and there must be none to detract
from the merits of their own state.
There must be spirit ofenthusiam
that will make an impression on
the outside world, convincing it
that we have something here that
is more worth looking into than
can be found in any other state in
the union.

Own Much--OWe Little.

Paul Morton, vice president of the
Santa Fe railway system, who has been
in New Mexico twice in the last two
months, keeps well informed of condi-
lions in the country reached by the rail-
way. In a late interview he said:
In the last three years New Mexico
has enjoyed an increase of over 100 per
cent in the wool output, n of the
greatest industries of the territory.
There has also been a rs per cen in
crease in the price of stock cattle, which
has added greatly to the wealth of thai
territory.
The natives have for two seasons
been able to pay their debts, and, as ]
would view it, the people of the terri
tory never owned as much or owed as
little as they do now. The mining in
dustry is looking up. Down near Silver
City, in the Santa Rita and Hanover
iron and copper districts, there is great
activity. Much money has gone in there
for development work, and these dis
tricts bid fair to become enormous pro-
ducers of iron and copper"

A Similar Case.

New Mexico was taken possession of
and made United States territory with
out the consent of her people. Native
officers were continued in Office when
they swore allegiance to the United
States, under direction of the invading
military officers. The country was sub
sequently bought from the Mexican
government, but the people of New
Mexico We're not consulted in the mat
ter. No Massachusetts statesman raised
his voice to complain that wrong was
being done, and in fifty years the pro-
ceeding has not been denounced al an
outrage. The history of the acquisition
Is very similar to the Philippine case
No cruel wrong was done the natives of
the southwest by giving them a govern
ment which could extend more pro-
lection, and in which they gained addi-
tional civil rights; a government that
has made public Improvements Mexico
would never have made, and under
which the masses of the people are bet
ter off than they We're under the old
regime. There is not a citizen of the ter
ritory to-day who would vote in favor
of the sovereignty of Mexico being
again extended over New Mexico, and
the idea of a separate and Independent
government for the people would be
hooted at by all of them unless there
should be n who might hope to make
himself a dictator. The people of New
Mexico know their good fortune in be-
ing a part of the United States, and are
loyal and proud of It. They will be
prouder still when New Mexico joins
the family of states.

PRESS COMMENTS.
CHEERFUL

~(5TOOklyn OIlOU.)
The testimony of farmers before the
industrial commission in Washington
recently gives good ground for believ-
ing that agriculture is getting a reason
able share of the general prosperity.
The increase in manufacturing has
generally been held in this country to
be of special advantage to farmers, be-
cause it constantly adds to the number
of consumers of farm produce. No good
reason has been offered for abandoning
this view. Manufacturers in the United
States were never doing a better bust
ness than now, and the farmers, barring
drouth and other unpreventable vista
tons, are doing well. The testimony Of
fered yesterday confirms this statement
and strengthens the faith of those who
believe in the long continuance of good
times.

The Pecos valley people complain of
the influx of sheep from across the
Texas line, because flock owner drive
in and consume the New Mexico grass
along the hills at this season and drive
out again before the time for assess
ment of their sheep. Recently several
large flocks of sheep We're held up for
the payment of an inspection fee of five
cents per head. Payment was made,
however, and the sheep are fattening
upon Eddy county ranges. There ought
to be some method of denying the Tex
ans the use of ranges needed by citizens
of New Mexico. A larger inspection fee
might shut them out, or an assessment
upon the sheep.

The Ell Paso Times is a newsy and
energetic journal. 1t should not object,
however, to other papers saying things
of Ell Paso which are borne out by state
ments in it's own columns. In a recent
issue of the Texas paper is a statement
by a farmer that a prominent Ell Paso
commission merchant had frankly con-
fessed hat the Ell Paso commission men
and their patrons believed they would
be the gamers if the valley We're wiped
off the map, because they could then
ship in all their stuff and not be both
cred with the complications of the val
ley farmers" OF course, the Times does
not indorse this selfish view. But if the
New Mexican had made the assertion
that FL Paso has business men of this
character there would have been a roar.

There is no section of the west that
offers more and better opportunities for
men with capital or men with even linn
tied means at this time than San Juan
county, New Mexico. There are few
localities in all the west that have the
natural combined that San
Juan county has. Other localities so ia
vorably blessed with natural resources
along railroad lines have been developed
until prices of property range beyond
the grasp of the men with limited
means. The isolation of San Juan
county from the railroad has kept it's
prices low and lands are cheap and
easy to acquire. 1t is an empire within
itself, about s~eventy-five miles square,
with three great rivers traversing its
length, supplying inexhaustible supplies
of water for all the lands. It's climate is
the finest in the United States, and
there is no more healthful country any
where.

CESSION OF ARID LANDS.

(Sacramento, CAL, Bee.)
The Los Angeles Times, which has de-
voted much attention to the subject of
irrigation, is strongly opposed to the
proposed cession Of the arid lands of the
west to the respective states. We think
the Times is right. If the states should
get these lands there would be a rush
of land-grabbers to the various legisla-
lures to secure these millions of acres.
If anything is to be done for the recla-
nation of the arid lands, it should be
undertaken by the national government.
After providing such means of irriga-
ton as may be practicable, the govern
ment should sell the land in small par
cells to actual settlers. If the govern
ment of the United States cannot ac-
complish this successfully, 1t Is clear
that the state legislatures cannot.

Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
Whatever serves to make the terri
tory known abroad is of value to us.
That is the one thing we lack. That has
always been u weak spot, and in that
is to be found the explanation of the
fact that New Mexico has been obliged
to wear her swaddling clothes all these
many years, while other sections, less
deserving of the honor and less able to
bear the responsibility of statehood
have been admitted to full fellowship / n
the union, with senators and represent
atives in congress, who occupy the posi-
ton of political guardians to this terri
tory. This is wrong, and in a measure
it is humiliating. But such has always
been our fate, and every event that
gives promise Of accomplishing any
thing in the direction of lettering our
condition is hailed with pleasure by all
of our people.
