San Pedro Mine DEVELOPMENT.

Hon. j. L. .Mcl4aughlin, manager of the
big copper mining plant Of the Santa
Fe Copper Mining Company at San
Pedro, has returned south after attend
ing to his duties here as county COM
missioner. He says the Santa Fe
Copper Company has been reorganized
as the Santa Fe Gold e. Copper Com
pany, incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey. However. the Offices still
remain in Boston, and the personnel of
the company continues unchanged.
Manager Mclaughlin has 35 miners at
work developing, and not taking out
any ore at present. But in 90 days, the
company will be extracting ore. They
are now following the old vein which is
80 feet high and 100 feet wide. The ore
is generally second class, but there is
much first class ore scattered through
it, and how this continues will be found
in the drifting.
Manager Mclaughlin is removing the
air compressor from the mine to the
pump house. thus effecting saving of
SIS per day, as now the same hands are
attending to the compressor as are at
tending to the pumping apparatus.
Then 1000 feet of 4-inch air pipe is
being put in from the pump to run the
drills in the mine. Altogether, the mine
and entire plant under Mr.. McLaugh-
Inns able and economical management,
promises well for the owners of the
property. ..

new FRENCH PRESIDENT.
A Protest Heard in the Senate in Favor Of
Election by the People, But It
Is Qnalnhad.

Paris. Feb. 1S.-The national assemb,
met at Versailles this afternoon to elect
o president tits unofiicially announced
that Loubet received 4sO votes and was
elected.
Loubet received 4s3 votes to 27O fol
Meline.
Anti-LOubet demonstrations are com
mencing on the streets. Cries Of "Down
with Panamaists" are prominent. The
agitation was caused by NM. de
Ronlede and Drumont, and their party
The authorities say measures have
been taken to maintain order. Presi-
dent Loubet has asked M. Dupuy tC
retain the premiership and the present
cabinet.
When the sitting of the assembly had
been resumed the public galleries were
crowded The announcement of the
election was greeted with prolonged APP
planse, mingled. with violent protests
from Tie Mghtists and Leftists shouting
"Vive La Republic! A squadron OF
Cuirassiers which arrived at the palace
to escort the new president, was greeted
by crowd outside with cries of ''Vive LIE
Armee!' Calm prevailed, although the
crowds were increasing.
Paul De Roulede attempted to speak
from the tribune. but Loubet forbade
him to do so. M. De Roulede repulsed
the ushers who rushed up to expel him
from the tribune and shouted, "The
president of the republic ought to be
elected by the people; | will not vote
here" Then turning to M. Loubet, De
Roulede cried. 'Do you deny that NJ.
De Baurepaire has written?" To this
M. Loubet replied, II am not called on
to answer you." M. De Rouede re-
torted, 81 know what you are" Apart
from the De Roulede incident, the vot-
ing passed off quietly. The Progressists
insisted on voting for M. Meline, al
though he withdrew in favor of M.
Loubet. Votes not given M. Loubet or
M. Meline were divided between M.
Cavaignac, General lamont, General
Saussier and others. M. Meline received
an ovation when he voted for M. Loubet.
The Duke of Orleans seems to be going
away from France. He arrived last
night at Turin from San Rene.

The Palace Avenue Sewer.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.

10 the Editor OF the New Mexican.
| read your article on the Palace
avenue sewer in last evenings paper
with much interest. The only objection
to that route is that it passes SO much
property that will not pay it's part, as it
goes by the palace and on two sides of
the military reservation 1t would be
much better if it could go in front of
business property on the plaza and San
francisco street, which would all pay
it's proportion; following in general the
line of the old sewer, but extending
further west.
The only fair way to build sewer is
that every foot of land benefited shall
pay an equal assessment. That is just
and right. The city authorities should
make the assessment, and if there is fear
that there may be delay in collecting
part OF it, subscription can be made to
meet the deficiency temporarily, with an
agreement that it be repaid when the
delinquent assessments are received.
That is similar to the way in which the
funds were subscribed to commence
work on the capitol and is not unusual
where haste is important.
In this case there is not moment to
lose. The present nuisance should be
stopped without any delay and without
waiting for the sewer, or a general cpl
demic of fevers will be upon us which
will destroy the reputation of the town
for health, besides causing the death of
scores of citizens.
Everyone knows that the nuisance
comes from one particular cesspool
which is overhowing into the street.
That should be stopped within "a hours.
Nearly everyone has cesspool or an
outhouse with IA vault in the yard, but
they are emptied as matter of course
by the owners so as not to create
nuisance. The particular cesspool which
is now inundating the city is very easily
accessible and can be emptied in a single
night without difficulty. If it belonged
to anyone else, the owner would have
been required to clean it out long ago
That is the first thing to do, and it
ought to be done tonight, before another
warm day carries its death-dealing con-
tents past a line of houses as certain
forcrunner of series of funerals. Do
this first and then 90 on with the sewer

Fire at Albuquerque.

The Santa Fe railroad blacksmith
shop and valuable contents were burned
down early yesterday morning. Lack
of water pressure made it difficult for
the firemen to handle the flames, as the
city supply was cut off, and the fire had
to be extinguished with company water.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss is roughly estimated at from $12, 200
to $4,000. and the insurance is of the
blanket kind which covers all of the
Santa Fe railroads property. One hun
dred men will be thrown out of en-
ployment for short time.

CAPTAIN :. II. DAY TALKS.
He Explains Inside Facts Relative to the
Condition Of the Local Water Power
and Makes Interesting Com
parisons,

parsons.
In talk this morning with a New
Mexican reporter, Captain S. H. Day,
manager of the Water Company said
From Salt Lake to Sandy Hook, above
the bowling blizzard, we hear the cry OF
belated trains, and intense suffering
among the people, on account of frost
Millions of money and many lives have
been lost, while fire hydrants that never
froze before could furnish no relief. In
this respect. Santa Fe is better off than
most towns in the country. At our
recent fire the water service was very
good.
At this point, the captain explained
that the faint lights furnished during
the past few weeks was occasioned by
the partial freezing up of the water
power in the creek. He said that after
the heavy rains in August last, the sea-
son was unusually dry, and the average
flow in the creek was less than for many
previous years; also, that the water in
the reservoir was lower now than at
any time since the reservoir was built.
Since December /, the gradual accumu-
lation of ice in the canon above the
reservoir has almost stopped the small
flow in the creek, so that the stream is
insufficient to fill the pipe leading to the
small reservoir on the hill near the
power house; and this shortage of water
on the hill is the cause of the faint light
in the forepart of the night. As soon
as the ice in the canon begins to melt
sufficiently to increase the flow, the
lights will be good again. The company
is doing all that is possible under the
circumstances.
The people of Santa Fe generally ap-
preciate the fact that the street light
ing has been furnished for about two
years without pay; something no other
company has ever done for any other
town in the territory. The question is
sometimes asked why steam power is
not used instead of water. The answer
Is easy. The old electric light company
after the effort to light the town by
steam, went out of the business four
years ago, hopelessly in debt for coal,
wages and supplies which the business
could not pay for. The evidence is
clear that without pay for street lights
and a larger consumption Of private
lights in the city, no plant of any kind
can be operated and pay expenses with
out dead loss in money. A change
from Chicago to New York investors,
in the control of the Santa Fe water
and light interests has recently taken
place, and news and particulars of i'm
portant improvements contemplated will
appear in print in a few lays.
