Should Be Released.

The fact that a ~12-year-old boy has
been imprisoned In the San Miguel
county Jail the past three months mere
ly on suspicion that he stole a letter
from the Ration postoffice Is not a cred
1t to New Mexico. 1t is true that it Is
difficult under present circumstances to
dispose of a boy who is accused Of a
criminal action and cannot furnish the
bond required Of him, but there should
be some one who would make 1t his
business to see to it that the boy is re-
leased or given an immediate trial.
In the states reformatories have been
established for youthful transgressors
of the law or incorrigible children, and
the coming legislature Of New Mexico
will have to provide for such an institu.
ton or the establishment Of a junior
republic and industrial school, where
children found guilty of the transgres-
sion of the law will be taken car Of
and reformed. In the meanwhile thai
12-year-old boy In the San Miguel coun-
ty Jail should be released at once, and
If possible, put in the care Of somebody
who will endeavor to eradicate the evil
impressions that he has received with
In prison walls while in contact with
hardened old sinners.

LEGISLATION for the West.

Congress is devoting considerable at
tention this session to the stock inter-
ests and to the arid lands. The number
Of bills introduced in congress bearing
upon those subjects is great, and If only
one-fourth of them pass there will be
more legislation upon those subjects
put upon the statute books this year
than there has ever been before. Some
Of the proposed legislation Is vicious,
some seems to be the result of igno-
rance, while the minor portion would
effect good if it were passed and en-
forced. There is such a thing as over
burdening an industry with national
legislation, and unless necessity calls
for it there should be as little change as
possible in existing legislation, ever
though some representatives imagine
that they must introduce bills by the
score at each session of the congress In
order to earn their salary.

A General, Coal, Famine.

New Mexico had a taste this winter
of a coal famine that extends over the
whole earth, and threatens to be per-
manent. The production Of coal in the
world is no longer equal to the demand,
and In Europe the price Of coal has ad-
and many manufacturing establish
ments have closed down because they
were unable to secure coal. One Amer
lean coal dealer last month received or
ders from Europe for over 100000 tons
of coke that he could not fill. The state
railroads of Germany and of Belgium
fear that they will not be able to store
sufficient coal to tide them over the
summe with its heavy passenger and
freight traffic. An immense strike of
coal miners in Austria adds to the diff
flculty, and Europe faces a serious in
dustrial crisis, unless a way a be
found to supply the thousands of mills
and the railroads, as we'll as steamship
lines, with sufficient coal, ever though
1t be at an advanced price. The worlds
supply of coal Is not yet giving out, and
will probably last many hundred years
to come, but it Is more difficult to-day
to mine coal, and the demand caused
by the immense industrial growth Of
late years cannot be supplied by the
mines now in operation. Perhaps a few
years more m = a discovery or an
invention Of generally supplying heat
and manufacturing power without the
use of coal, but in the meanwhile New
Mexico possesses magnificent assets in
her developed and undeveloped coal
fields, and the nan who possesses coal
lands had better hold on to them for the
present, for the near future will un-
doubtedly see a heavy demand made
Upon them.

THE BLACK RANGE.
A Rich Mining District Not As Well Known
As It Should Be.
(Socorro Chieftain

(SOcorro C~hieftain.)
There are many men, such as pros
pectors and mining experts, that can
tell you about Leadville, Cripple Creek,
Bisbee, Ariz., and many other camps of
the southwest, but when they come to
the Black range, New Mexico, they can
only tell you that there are large, well
defined veins, together with large bod
les of low-grade copper-silver ores
| waiting for capital to develop Into pay
ing mines.
There have beer good excuses for a
! mining MAJ with capital to seek invest
ment where his scalp would be more Sc
cure, as it has been but a few years
since the rowing bands of Apaches have
ceased to modest and make afraid. So
that life and property is now as safe as
in the cities of the east
This camp cannot be long overlooked
by mining men, with its vast riches of
gold, silver, lead and copper, together
with large bodies of magnetic iron.
There Is fuel in abundance. and water
sufficient to run any sized plant that
may be erected. There Is an occasional
mining expert that drops in, stays but
a few days, sees but little of the camp,
still is amazed at seeing such mammoth
veins filled with low-grade ores, only
fifty miles from a railroad, and the
camp almost deserted.
The veins in this camp Of Chloride
and vicinity lie mostly between lime
and porphyry, and are from 10 to 80 feet
wide. The filling is mostly of a hard,
grayish quartz, heavily impregnated
| with mineral. This mineral belt a be
| traced from the large bodies Of lead at
Cooks Peak to the large deposits of
lead at Magdalena, a distance of 200
| miles.
I will say that terms can be made
| with the mine owners very reasonable
for cash.
This offers a rich field for exploring
parties. It's abundance Of game, charm
ing scenery, and fine climate certainly
recommend it to both mining men and
tourists. The inducements are much
greater to the mining man to come into
the Black range, with it's rich mineral
field so easily and comfortably got at
the year round than are offered in the
Klondike, where long winter nights of
snow and ice, glaciers, scurvy, v
lanches and constant nightmare haunt
the slumber of the prospector and min
Ing man, that when he lies down he may
be entering the long. long sleep Of eter-
nal rest.
The mining man or prospector who
comes into the camp expecting to find
nuggets hanging on bushes as large az
the traditional hailstones in a cyclone,
or as large as hens eggs, has already a
wealth of ignorance of hopeful but use
less dreams, which should content him
to remain In the dreamland. But to the
mining man who wants to invest in
good mines and make one more fortune
before crossing the river of Jordan, !
will say, come to Chloride, N. NJ. and
investigate for at least two weeks, and
you will find some Of the richest, largest
bodies of ore and best mines in the
southwest.

An Ell Paso exchange say that people
in Ell Paso are too busy to pay attention
to politics. Bad for Ell Paso. A city
with people hat do not pay any atten-
ton to politics should be situated in
darkest Africa. The man who is so en-
crossed in money-making that he does
not care who rules the city or who
makes the laws Is apt to do nothing that
will further the interests of the commu-
nifty in which he lives. The ideal city
and the ideal republic is that in which
every resident takes an active interest
In political doings.

Importance OF irrigation.

A Washington dispatch announces
that people in the east are taking great
interest in the irrigation statistics to
be gathered by the director of the Gen.
sus. The dispatch goes on to say: The
east Is quite as much alive to the impor-
lance of the subject as the west. Its
manufacturers and jobbers see In the
growing west a market of great alb
sorbing capacity. The Canadians have
set an example to the United States in
the businesslike way in which they
have gone about the problem Of public
domain. They also have vast tracts of
arid land lying east of the Rocky noun
tains and north Of Montana. In spite
of a relatively low temperature, they
have demonstrated the success Of irri-
cation In a broad and practical tanner.
Instead Of allowing development to pro-
coed in a haphazard way, they drew a
lesson from failure and mistakes on this
side of the boundary, and first made
an accurate survey to show the location
and character of irrigable lands. the
sources Of supply from which these
lands can be watered and the possibili-
ties of regulating the flow of streams
by reservoirs.
THE people of the adjacent state Of
Montana, seeing the good effect of such
a policy, are eager to have similar sur
veys made OF the public lands Of that
state in order to show at a glance, on
appropriate maps. what land may be
irrigated and water sources for it's
reclamation and the cost Of benefits to
be derived from adequate systems Of
storage reservoirs and nighttime ca
nals.'
1t Is not only Montana that desires
such work be done, but first OF all New
Mexico and then Arizona, Colorado and
the other arid states. If such great
results have been achieved In frigid
Canada, what results might not be
achieved In New Mexico IL irrigation
were carried on a large scale, accord
Ing to the most scientific methods? If,
~ the dispatch states. the east Is fully
alive to the national importance Of irr-
igation, there should be no difficulty
In adding a rider to the river and har.
Dor appropriation bill in congress this
year. setting aside ten or twenty million
dollars for irrigation works In the arid
west.

The MESILLA VALLEY.
Advise to Health Seekers to Go Into the
Country and Do Farm Work,

(E. C. Wade, of Las Cruces, in the New
York Tribune.)
The Messilla valley of New Mexico.
considering it's location, productiveness
and desirability Of climate, Is foremost
among all sections of the Union In the
hattering invitation it holds out to the
health-seeker who desires easy outdoor
employment and a home at moderate
cost. The arid southwest is, by virtue Of
Its dry and healing air, mild winters
and bracing summers, attracting the
attention OF. the world as a s%anitarium
par excellence, especially for those SUI
fering with pulmonary and bronchial
affections. Thousands Of people affect
ed with such diseases each winter fill
up every vacant in FL Paso, Albu-
querque, Las Cruces and other places
In New Mexico and Arizona.
A large percentage Of these people
pass the winter in cramped and uncon-
genial quarters in the larger towns, and
as soon as the warm season returns
leave for their homes in the east. Here
is where the victim Of consumption
makes a grave mistake; he should con-
tinuously reside in this dry climate un-
til his diseased lungs are thoroughly
healed, and he should live out of doors
as much of the time as possible. But
people who are out of health are likely
to be lacking in fortune also, and m
ployment Is not only desirable for
health improvement, but is also an alb
solute necessity in many cases. Over
crowded towns offer but limited oppor-
tunities in lines Of employment or in
dustry benefting the health-seeker's
physical condition. Among the outdoor
employments which are especially suit
able for the man of weakened vitality
are fruit growing, dairying, gardening,
chicken raising and bee culture. There
are exceptional opportunities and in
ducements for engaging in any of these
vocations in the Mesilla valley.

The prevalence of gold in the Rocky
mountain regions was demonstrated
this week in Denver. w. P. Finley, a
capitalist of New York, was told by

did not believe this, and Finley sal
