mjnjnu prosperity.

The United States is just entering up
on the greatest period Of prosperity in
the mining industry ever known. 1t has
ceased to be regarded as a gamble or
matter OF chance, more than any other
business, and stands on a legitimate ba-
sis. Thanks to science, inventive genius
and intelligent handling, mining is now
considered to be a mere matter of bust
ness. The arts and mechanics now call
for all sorts of metals and ores in guam
tity, and the production of gold and sill
yer are but items in the mining indus
try. In fact, the greater interest is
shown now, and the most capital being
invested in the production of the baser
metals. The industry Is becoming ma
tional in Importance, and therefore of
all the more Importance to a locality
like New Mexico, which fortunately has
ar abundant supply of nearly all metal
liferous ores now in demand. The prog
ress made in the manufacture of arti-
cles in which base metals are used, such
as electrical wires and appliances, by
America, which now leads the world in
this line, will make the demand lasting
and equal to any possible supply that
may be developed.

The Santa Fe'S EXPANSION.

There are many railways from Kan
sas City to st. Louis, yet the announce
ment that the Santa Fe system will
build a line of it's own instead of giving
its business to others is probably true.
The company is paying interest on its
bonds, dividends to stockholders and
making money. With lines reaching
San Diego, Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco at the west, and Chicago or the
east, the company undoubtedly desires
to have a terminal at the big Mississippi
river city. st. Louis does a great trade
with Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico,
Galveston and Ell Paso, all territory
reached by the Santa Fe trunk line, and
also with Mexico, to whose border the
Santa Fe reaches. Expansion once got
the railway into financial trouble, but
the present management pursues a
building-up policy as well as n of
spreading out, and the growing prosper
ity of all of it's territory justifies reach
ing for big markets like st. Louis and
San Francisco.

The Wheeler Family.

General Wheeler was probably the
happiest old soldier in the country yes
terday when he received orders to go to
the Philippines and report to General
Otis for duty. On the same day his son.,
a lieutenant, was made a major. The
fiery little general who went to the front
at Ell Caney and Santiago, although so
sick that he had to be lifted upon his
horse. has been restless ever since com-
ing from Cuba. He was invited to de-
liver an address at Boston on Decora-
ton day by the grand army post. The
committee was criticised for inviting
the ex-Confederate general, and some.
Confederates criticised him for accept
ing. But when he spoke each side
learned that a patriotic address could
be made, giving justice to all. General
Wheeler will be accompanied to the
wal not only by his son., but by a
daughter. who goes as a nurse for vol
unteers, by arrangement with Helen
Gould and other ladies. The old SOL
diers of Boston have given a sword to
the general, and the ladies of Washing
ton have presented to his daughter a
Jewel case in token of the appreciation
of the proposed act of the daughter of
the south.

tant General Corbin, leaving General
Miles to sulk and Secretary Alger to at

Otis go first to the president, and most
of the orders are written by him. He is
personally making all arrangements for
re-enforcements, instead of leaving the
matter to subordinates. This he de-
clares to be his duty, and that he will
postpone his western trip until all ar

The public school system introduced
in Manila by General Otis is along con-
ciliatory lines. The people have never
had free schools in the 300 years of the
city's history, and would easily be pref
udiced against them if innovations were
too rapidly forced. English is taught
for but one hour per day. All holidays
to which the people are accustomed will
be observed. as we'll as certain Ameri-
can holidays. The school age includes
all children from 6 to - years. The city
has a population of 270,0 900. Of course,
many of the children go to Catholic
schools, and that 5000 attended the pub
lie schools the first week is a good sign
that the Door who are unable to pay
tuition at secular schools are DESTROYS
of having their children educated.

Smallpox appears to have ended it's

That it has run it's course is due mostly

upon to prevent contagion becoming
general. In the east many cities are still

In Santa Fe there was more or less
smallpox at various times, and, without
effectual quarantine, vaccination is re-
sponsible for the fact hat no epidemic
was caused. At present, according to
the statements of officials and physi-

PRESS COMMENTS.
THE SOUTH ON EXPANSION,

washington Times.)
Joseph j. Willett, president of the
state bar association of Alabama, is re-
ported as asserting that probably three
out of four southern Democrats are cp.
posed to keeping the Philippines. Of
course, this is but an Individual opin on,
and it's accuracy is subject to much
doubt; the more so since it alleges in.
conceivable Democratic backslidiny
from the faith, doctrine, presidents ami
practices of the party from Thomas
Jefferson to the present time. But, If
We could accept Mr.. Willett's view Of
southern political sentiment as true, the
conclusion would go a long way to
eliminate the factor of doubt from the
next presidential campaign. Whatever
may be the feeling of voters in Alabama
and neighboring states on the subject
of expansion, there is not the slightest
room for doubt that the American peo-
pie generally, and by a vast majority,
without regard to party affiliations. are
heart and soul for it.

PENSION COMMISSIONER EVANS

PENSION COMMISSIONER EVANS.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
The COMMISSIONS has shown himself
possessed of a wonderful nose for fraud;
and the great number Of fraudulent
claimants for pensions whom he has de-
tected and turned down are a bright
feather in his cap. Saying that the COM
missioner has turned down a large
number of fraudulent claimants for
pensions is equivalent to saying that he
has trodden heavily on the toes of the
shark attorneys, who not only push, but
in the majority of instances originate,
claims which they know to be bogus
and based solely on fraud. Every deci-
sion that the commissioner gives
against the legality Of a claim is, as our
readers will see, a distinct slap in the
face to the attorney who presented it.;
1t is, in fact, an intimation to the attor-
ney that the commissioner regards him
as seeking to get money for his client
and himself by fraudulent practices.
Nay, more. Commissioner Evans has
not only in many cases prevented the
shark attorneys from robbing the treas
ury; he has in not a few instances also
successfully interposed to prevent the
same gentry from robbing their clients,
the pension claimants.

1t has large quantities of rich, level,
fertile land that will produce anything
thai grows in the temperate zone, such
as corn, wheat and rye oats, barley,
timothy, clover, alfalfa, and the finest
vegetables that can be produced any
where, and as a fruit country it is rec
ognized to be the best country in the
United States outside of California, and
in many respects superior to that state.
Products of butter, eggs, honey and
country. 1t has inexhaustible coal fields
and plenty of timber and stone for
building and fuel, and it's ranges for
stock are abundant. The county with
all these natural resources is located
and situated in the midst of the great
mining camps and mountain towns of
the great southwest. Creating demands
for all the products of the farm, orchard
and dairy, and at prices which are not
excelled by any other country, renders
it the finest place for men with either
capital or limited means to make both
money and Independent living as easy
as can be made in any portion of the
west.

by her rich productive land and many
