so, though in many cases their situa-
ton is we'll known, they remain I'M
]prospected and unworked. With a cab
met officer to attend to the interests of
! the mining community, this need would
have been officially presented to con-
gress and remedial legislation obtained
! years ago
In every way the use of metallic and
industrial minerals is being increased
in a rapid ratio year by year.. A mo-
ment's thought will show the truth Of
| this. From the humblest household
utensil to the tall sky-scraping build
ing which rivals the tower of Babel in
it's presumptuous altitude, metal is TAX
ing the place of wood and other mate
rial.
No stronger illustration of this can be
found than in the architecture of the
new navy of which we are so deserved
ly proud. Half a century ago the ma
rine defenders of old England We're apt
ly called her wooden walls" built, as
they were, of choicest oak and pro-

hemp. How entirely is this changed and
the vegetable kingdom superseded by
| the mineral? Now the hull and bull
| warks of iron and steel, the ordnance
| of steel and bronze, all propelled by
great metallic engines fed by thousands
| of tons of mineral fuel, unite in pro-
| claiming that on the water, as on the
land, the dependence of the nation is on
the product of the mine.
In this subject the miners of all Sec
| tons and of every class are equally
concerned. Those who are interested in
the coal of Pennsylvania, the copper of
| Michigan, the iron of Wisconsin or Ala
bama, or the lead and zinc of Missouri,
unite with their far-off brethren of the
| gold and silver regions of the Rocky
mountains and the Pacific slope in de-
handing this encouragement and de-
| velopment of the business in which all
| are engaged. And the people at large
have nc less interest, as every improve
ment made in the extraction and treat
ment of ore lessons the price of all arti-
| cles of metallic material, both great and
small.
The establishment of a department of
mining will not only be a proper recog-
milton of the importance and magnitude
| of this great industry, but will have in
inspiring practical effect in stimulating
invention and industrial advancement
ard the development of u now
| dormant and useless.
Other countries with not one-tenth Of
our annual mineral output have minis
tiers and departments devoted to min.
ing; let us, in the United States, not be
behind them in granting this national
encouragement and aid to the mining
industry of our own land.

While the situation in China will not
create another Dewey. yet it demands
Of the commander of the American war
ships in Chinese waters a good deal Of
diplomacy and circumspection. To act
in unison with the powers, whose ute
that of the American nation, and at the
same time to avoid all criticism at
home, is a task that would try ever the
genius Of Admiral Dewey. No matter
what the outcome Of the present sltua-
ton may be, there will be criticism at
home, for Americans are a nation of
critics, and during a political campaign
they are generally very unreaso 1able

A NEW DEPARTMENT
An Eloquent Address At the Inter-
national Mining Congress By
Hon. L. B. Prince.
A DEPARTMENT OF MINES
A Resolution introduced By Ex-Governor
Prince to Establish a New Cabinet Of
flee to Be In Charge of a Secre-
tary of Mines.

A resolution was introduced by eX-
Gov. l.. B. Prince at the international
mining congress at Milwaukee, provid-
ing for a call to ongress to establish a
bureau of mining. This is the first open
move for this recognition of the mining
industry, and it is the nucleus for wide
and extensive campaigning by the min
ing men of the country to secure a gov
ornamental bureau over the art of min
ing. The resolution says:
THE magnitude and Importance of
the mining industry, which has now
reached over $500, 00O, 900 of annual prod
uct, calls for the establishment of a ma
tional department of mining, the chief
officer of which shall be of the cabinet"
Ex-Governor Prince made a telling
address upon this subject. He spoke as
follows:
This is the most important suti ect
that can come before this or any other
mining congress at this time, and will
continue so to be until the estab. ,'h-
ment of a department of mining be-
comes an accomplished fact.
In the first place, it may be remarked
that it has been the settled policy of
our government from the beginning to
increase the number of executive de-
partments whenever the magnitude and
Importance of a subject and it's need of
national encouragement or supervision
showed such action to be proper. At the
beginning, under President Washing
ton, we had but four departments and
four cabinet oficers-the secretaries of
state, treasury and war and the attor-
ney general. In 1898, in consequence Of
anticipated val with powers across
the sea, the navy department was es-

Several cities in Colorado have

Several cities in Colorado have their
annual strawberry feast, Rocky Ford
has it's melon day. and Fort Collins has
Its raspberry day. These annual ami
v~ersaries contribute a good deal toward
advertising the staple product Of those
towns, and have made them famous be-
yond the boundaries of the state. 1t
would be a good Idea II New Mexico
towns were to have annual celebra-
tons of that nature, and thus advertise
themselves and their products. Better
melons than are raised at Rocky Ford
can be and are raised in New Mexico, but
who ever heard of New Mexico melons
on outside markets? If any are export
ed they probably parade under the
name Of Rocky Fords. simply because
Rocky Ford by such means as melon
day has advertised Rocky Ford melons
until everybody In buying melons asks
for them.

The fact that Roswell school bonds
sold at a premium of 1860 on a $685. 900
issue Is certainly a sign that outside
capital has confidence in New Mexico
under the present administration. Four
years ago such a thing as getting a pre-
MUM on New Mexico school. municipal,
county or territorial bonds was unheard
of. An administration which has the
confidence of outside capitalists is the
kind of government to keep in power.

meet the conditions for such a gift,
Santa Fe or any other city in New Mex

to convince a skeptic world that Chris

strike for higher wages and finally
compromised on an advance of 4 cents
a week. 1t will take them just five years
to make up the wages they lost during
the strike. A strike, unless it is to pro-
test against an obvious injustice, is
generally very profitless both to m

BUYING ALABAMA COAL.
ENGLAND TAKES MANY THOU
SAND TONS.
Delivery Will Be Made at Some Point
Near New Orleans Where Ship
ment Is Easy.

Chicago, October 5.-An accredited
representative Of an English syndicate to-
day contracted for 10000 tons Of Ala
bama coal to be delivered at some point
on the gulf of Mexico. The deliveries are
70 extend over a period of two years. AL
what point the coal is to be delivered is
not stated, but the parties Interested are
said to own valuable terminals below
New Orleans and it is therefore presurh-
ed that this coal will go TO New orleans
for shipment. In an interview with the
promoters of this coal industry today II
was stated that the coal from the state
of Alabama could be hardled at a point
below New Orleans al n greater advan-
tage than at Mobile or Pensacola. on ac-
count of the present carrying trade or the
vessels in this export business. 1t Is also
claimed that the Alabama coal through
this line viii be able to compete with ex-
port coal from Norfolk and other points
on the seaboard. The promoters also
claim that in view of the marketing or
the coal of the state OF Alabama IN Eu-
rope the coal of this state would have
an advantage greater than that of amy
other coal fields in America for export
trade. Notwithstanding the fact that
every furnace I'm birmingham is running
to It's full caracity. and that during the
past year over sll.0o0,0O0 of capital has
been invested IN the iron and coal regions
of this state, yet the home consumption
is not sufficient to absorb the product OF
the coal lands being developed.
