Department Of MineraIogy and Mining.

A bill has been introduced in the
house of representatives of congress
which will meet with the approval of
all western people. 1t provides that
an executive department, to be known
us the Department of Mineralogy and
Mining. shall be established at the seat
of national government, for the purpose
of gathering and ~diffusing among the
people of the United States useful in
formation pertaining to mining in all its.
branches. The bill provides that the
department shall be presided over by an
executive officer to be known as the
secretary of mineralogy and mining, who
shall be appointed by the president, by
and with the advice and consent of the
senate: but in no case shall any person
be appointed to the position unless he
shall have a thorough knowledge of
min cralogy and mining. The depart
ment is also to be provided with al as
sistant secretary and other necessary
employees. Another provision of the bill
is that the geographical survey. as at
present established, together with all
maps, records and apparatus now on
nected Herewith shall be transferred to
the new department.
The passage of the bill would in effect
recognize the mining industry of the
United States as being of equal import
ance to that of agriculture, which, in
the Rocky mountain country and the
coal and iron region, it is. Up to the
present time mining men have been de-
pendent upon their own efforts to secure
information regarding the industry in
different parts of the country, and the
item of securing such information by
each individual is no small one. The
general distribution of such data as a
department of mineralogy and mining
would soon become possessed would be
of great assistance to the miners, and
aid them in the intelligent pre- secution
of their work. The past decade has
seen a wonderful development of the
mineral wealth of the country, and the
mines have contributed largely to the
present prosperity of the nation. In
many sections of the Rocky mountains
development has reached that stage
where profitable work can begin and the
end of the century will see a great in
crease in the output of mining proper
ties of all kinds.
So far as the citizens of the western
states are concerned, congress will
greatly please them by passing the bill
and thus establishing a department of
the government which is needed, and
which will be of great benefit to one of
the most important industries of the
country.

Possibilities Of Beet Sugar Industry.

A recent issue of a sugar trade Jour
nal publishes the official statistics of the
sugar production of Germany for the
crop year of 1S97-oS, which show the
enormous quantities of beets the farm
ers of that country manage to produce
from a comparatively small area of
land, The figures given are: From
1850, 256 acres of land 1867, s91 tons
were raised, which produced 1,s44, 399
tons of raw sugar. The tonnage yield
of beets per acre is placed at 1922, or
3,763 pounds of raw sugar to the acre.
In the United States the prices paid
for sugar bects vary according to the
per centage of sugar content. from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton, at the factory,
and placing the average yield at ~ tons
per acre. growers of beets would realize
from SAT to $54 per acre for the product
of their labors, or more than four times
as much as was received per acre for
the wheat crop of 1897 by American
farmers.
These figures have unusual signi-
licance to the people of Santa Fe coun-
ty. The beets grown in the county are
known to be the richest in sugar con-
tent raised in the country, and the
price which they would command at a
factory would be in proportion; there
are thousands of acres of land in the
county adapted to the growing of sugar
beets, and labor is to be had almost for
the asking. A beet sugar factory locat-
ed in Santa Fe would mean wealth to
the community. independence for the
people and prosperity such as Santa Fe
never before en- iOVpd.

Albuquerque Journal-Dcmocrat.l
The first week in the history of the
SD legislative assembly of the glorious
territory of New Mexico is now a matter
of record, subject to the favorable or ad-
verse criticism of Democrats as well as
Republicans, Happily the assembly has
already adopted measures that will re-
duce the expenses of the territory fully
1000 in the matter of payment of extra
Legislative employees and the members of
both houses manifest Il decided DISPOSE
ton CORRESPONDENCE to curtail all other
territorial expenses. Depend upon this
cold and carefully considered prediction,
the members Of the present legislative
assembly are firmly resolved to earn and
merit statehood by legislation that will
cXtort the admiration and appreciation
of New England. as well as Colorado and
California.

froth, or ancient history, or old fogyism,
