A Syndicate To Develop the In

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
MUTT, N. M April "A syndicate
composed of St. Louis mining men and
capitalists has been forming pre-
paratory to the organization OF a com
pany to develop and utilize the i'm
mense deposits of zinc and lead ores
of Carpenter district, which Is the
most southerly section OF the Black
Range.
Carpenter district was organized
about sixteen years ago and shows
large deposits of ore, which on account
of the low value in precious metal and
difficulty in getting the ores to market
and the lack of water for concentration
have never been utilized.
This district is reached by wagon
road from Lake Valley eighteen miles;
from Kingston by trail about eight
miles: from the Mimbres river nine to
twelve miles. This district ia located
Oh the southwestern slope of the range,
up to the summit. This summit forms
Y between Sierra and Grant counties.
There Is, up to date, only one patent
ed claim in this district, controlled by
Missouri parties. 1t has at present the
only available water for concentration.

Hand jigs were packed in there about
nine years ago by D. Baumsn, now
of Missouri.
Above this property Keller, Miller
and Company own the Grand Central
group of mines which by shaft and tun-
mel show q great deal of low grade ore;
probably the lowest In the range.
A number of other camps have been
more or less developed on Donohue
canon and McGregor Park, but the
largest developement is on the Grand
miles from Kingston. From this claim
composite of zinc and lead average
over 20 per cent and about same
amount in zinc sulphide. The ore
averages twenty feet solid in thickness
found at a depth of 100 feet.
There are several smelter veins on
the property besides, with plenty of
ore. This property, through the
agency of James Reay, of King
ston, and of VIM. Einstein and D.
Baumap, of ST. Louis, has just been
placed into the hands of the afore-
mentioned syndicate, which is headed
by Hon. 81. j. Csntwell, one of the
most energetic and successful mine
operators in southwest Missouri and
president of the Columbia Lead Co.
Plenty of water for q large concen-
trating plant has been secured near
the Min bres river and rail tramway,
twenty inch gauge, will be built to con-
meet mine with plant. The lead and
zinc products will be hauled by wagon
twenty two miles to Hudson station ON
the Silver City branch.
The business resulting from this
operation will benefit all the towns in
the vicinity.

THE CUBAN ELECTION.
Open Registration of Voters Ordered
10 Begin on AuguSt Ii

HAVANA, Aug. 9.-General Wood will go
30 Matanzas today at the request of
the Governor of that province to explain
fully the details of the coming election for
members of a constitutional assembly. The
clause in the decree calling the assembly
which refers to deciding the relations that
will exist between the United States and
Cuba, has caused some comment here 1t
is claimed by some that these relations
should be settled after free government
IS established while others see no incon-
gruity in the assembly settling the ques-
ton of permanent relations.
The decree has caused much doubt among
prominent Cubans. including Gen Maxine
Gomez. Since his return from Santo Do
| mingo General Gomez has told General
Wood thas he did not want the Americans
to leave the island for some years. Though
! a great many Cubans would like the Amer
leans to stay, yet, fearing that their con-
tinUed presence will weaken their party
they have not said much on the subject.
Should they give voice to their desire it is
probable that the rabid section though
somewhat discredited would raise a dis
turbance by accusing those desiring the
Americans to remain of being annexation
lists and thus defeat the moderate party
Until the conservative element is thor
oughly organized it will probably be i'm
possible to make much Roadway against
the revolutionary party.
Another reason that prevents the United
States being asked to remain in control for
| given period, say five or six years is
the fear that the Americans might uIti-
mately decide to permanently remain.

THE ATLANTA a GUNBoAT.
The Old Yacht Sails as a Colombian
NaTsh;D.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9--The converted
steam yacht ATLANTA. purchased recently
by the Colombian Cove -nment from George
Gould for use as a gunbost. has sailed from
this port for Colombia. Ssnor Eduardo Is
pinoza, Consul General of Colombia, is au-
cncrity Tor this statement. He refuses 10
give any particulars touching her deseina-
ton or armament
There is no record of the ships depart
ure 81 the Maritime Exchange At the
custom house the records show that while
the ATLANTA is stii! the property of George
Gould her registry was transferred from
this port to Perth Amboy. So if any
declaration of clearance was made it was
made with the collector there. The i'm
preston here is that her name was
changed so that the revolutionary agents
should not know of her departure until
she was well under way.
All that Senior EspinoZa would say today
was that the ATLANTA would sooa arrive
at some port In Colombia. He declined 10
tell how guns or men she carried. 1t is
known, however that there were on board
several guns of small caIibre and several
thousand rifles besides a large supply OF
ammunition.

IN LINE FOR STEVENSON.
Nebraska PopuIists Approve of Mr.
Towne's Acfton

ioWne7s ActIou-
LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 9.-Discussion OF
the declination of Mr. Towne and its prob
able effect is now the chief concern Of
Nebraska politicians. The talk yesterday
showed a generally surprising change of
front on the part OF the PopuIist leaders.
few weeks ago they were almost upani-
mously insistent that Mr. Towne should
stay on, and they declared that should the
Minnesotan decline, fusion for Mr.. Bryan S
sake would be dead
Among those who uttered such forebod-
ings were Senator Allen. Governor Poyn-
ter, and Vice Chairman Edmiston, of the
Populist National Committee, and prac-
ticalIy all the PopuIist State officers
Now all have amended their opinions
but Edmiston, who still makes show of
consistency, but there are signs that he,
too. is wavering.
He said yesterday:
Il will take no action toward calling the
National Committee together to consider
Mr.. Towne's decInation until after con-
ferring fully with party leaders at the
Executive Committee meeting in Chicago
There will be no snap judgment, but d
conservative consideration OF the situation
ana tue matters involved, DSIQfS q maj de-
cision is announced
Meanwhile there is every indication that
the vice chairman is also preparing to
come out for Stevenson. His associates
argue that Western Populists want Bryan
far more than Towne, and they must stand
together in the fight for Stevenson or
there will be repetition OF the Tom Wat
son ENHANCEMENT of 1896.
There is a suspicion that some of the
no hAr nf he
mittee headed by Senator Butler, viii go
to the Chicago meeting and there seek to
put the committee on record as favorine
POpulist on the ticket with Bryan. The
National Committee, they say must fin
ally decide, but It is feared that any prec-
edent established by the executive COM
mfttee would go far toward influencing
the larger body. For these reasons Mr..
Edmiston's friends have been eounseIing
him to drop the substitution idea and take
Stevenson instead Mr.. Edmiston left for
Chicago tonight.
AS Chairman OF the Executive Committee
he will preside. Nebraska Populists ex-
pect him to favor either the acceptance
of Stevenson as the Populist nominee or
else leaving the place blank
Governor Poynter said yesterday:
81 don't believe Towne,s deciinatioI Will
have any material effect one way or the
other on the result in this State. When
the people have had time to consider the
situation more thoroughly aad come to

AMERICANS CLAIM UPHELD.
Customs Dues Demanded by Mica
ragua Not to BE Paid.


raGua Not to Be Paid.
The State Department yesterday received
information that the differences that have
existed between the Nicaraguan Govern
L ent and American merchants al Blue
fields, Nicaragua, have been adjusted by
the return to the merchants of S19, OOO
representing customs dues which the mer-
chants claimed had been unjustly and lille
galIy collected.
The trouble arose during the Reyes in
surrection in the Mosquito country, of
which Blueffelds is the principal town.
Colonel Reyes seized Bluefelds and col
lected customs duties. When he was de-
feated the Nicaraguan Government sought
TO make the American merchants pay again
the amounts they had paid to Reyes The
merchants refused and when the Nicara-
gan Government threatened to seize
the articles on which the duties had
been collected by Reyes, the mer-
charts locked up the goods in a
warehouse, barTicaded it, raised the
Stars and Stripes above it, and defied the
Government of Nicaragua to carry out it's
threat.
In this serious aspect of affairs the
United States Government stepped in and
arranged compromise. 1t was agreed mat
the amount of the duties, 10000, should
be turned over to the British Consul who
was to pay it 10 the Niearaguan authorities
or back TO the merchants as might be
arranged The negotiations for settle
