PROSPEROUS GRANT COUNTY.
Its Mines and Mills Are Rapidly Pushing
It to thu Front.

Hon. Robert Black, of Silver City,
spent Yesterday afternoon in the capt.
tai. Mr.. Black is an old-timer in New
Mexico. and served in the Legislature in
1880 He is a sturdy Republican and
prosperous contractor He emphasizes
the great prosperity that Grant county.
and especially Silver City, is enjoying.
Building is continually in progress, and
improvements are being made right
along. The development of the mining
industry is responsible for this, and
such mining towns like Pinos Altos,
Santa Rita and Hanover are very pros
porous indeed. Unfortunately, the
stock industry suffered severely this
simmer on account of the drouth and
the heat. Mr. Black says that it was
the hottest summer he had experienced
in twenty years. Experiments will,
however, be made in drilling wells to
| find artesian water, and that may solve
the water question, especially for Silver
City, which suffers every year more or
less on account of a lack of water.
The smelter at Silver City, which has
been bought up by the trust, is treating
$50 tons of ore every day. and Is paying
it's employees well and promptly. Polit-
icallv. there will be a close fight in the
county this fall, with the advantage ap-
,parently on the Republican side.

SHAFT HOUSE BURNED.
A Fire at Hanover Ruined a Quantity Of
Valuable Machinery,

About $50 o'clock last Friday even
ing the shaft house owned by the Phila-
delphia mine at Hanover was discov-
cred to be on fire, and before the flames
could be subdued that building was
burned to the ground and the valuable
machinery therein contained destroyed.
The fire is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin. Until the first of the
month the Hanover company, operat-
ing the property, has been working two
shifts of about forty men, but since that
date only a day force has been en-
ployed. When the fire was discovered
efforts We're made to eXtinguish it, but
there was no water available, and the
danger of injury from large quantity
of gasoline stored in the building rem
dered effective work impossible. The
gasoline exploded during the course of
the conflagration, but no one was in
jured. The blacksmith shop and gal
lows frame We're saved.
The burned building contained a gas
olne hoist, air compressor ana other
valuable machinery, which was ruined.
About twenty-five men are thrown out
of employment. The future policy of the
company has not yet been determined,
but it is thought that operations will be
continued. The mine is owned by Frank
C. Bell.

TERRA Amarillo, october 16.--The New

regular proceedings of the Republican
convention on Monday last. I send the
following notes concerning it:
Governor Otero, Hon. B. S. Rodey and
Judge Pendleton, who had been nomi-
mated in San Juan county for the legis-
l&ture from Taos, Rio Arriba and San
Juan counties We're formally received
by the convention, Governor Otero
made an excellent address on territorial
finances and other subjects of interest,
and then introduced Mr.. Rodey as a
friend of nineteen years. who had been
enthusiastically nominated by the
unanimous voice of the territorial con-
vention.
Mr.. Rodey spoke at some length and
made a good impression. He returned
the governors compliment by saying
he was one of the best governors New
Mexico had ever had; that in an inter-
view with President Mckinley he had
assured the president that in the ap-
pointment of Governor Otero he had
made the very best possible selection,
and that he felt authorized to say on
behalf Of the New Mexican people with
out any exception, that the selection is
absolutely the best that could have been
made; and the president answered: 81
believe so, and I will sustain him" He
Y,,il arta it,ly ha Mt pH T.
Rodey. "There is no doubt of that, and
he deserves it." He then touched on the
various issues of the campaign, and ex-
pressed his surprise and admiration at
the beauty and prosperity of Rio Arri-
ba county.
Judge Pendlton made a stirring ad-
dress, which left an excellent impress
sion on the audience, and Hon. w. f.
Martin closed the reception by an elo-
quent speech in Spanish.
During the convention Hon. L. b.
Prince introduced resolutions for bet
ter organization in the county, which
were unanimously adopted. These pro-
wide for the formation of a county COM

POLITICAL
COUNTY POLITICS.
The Republican Convention Tomorrow Pro-
misses to Be a Lively Affair-Delegates,

John V. Conway is working very hard
to secure the Republican nomination
for superintendent of schools of the
county. He is quite popular and will
have good many delegates in his favor.
Atanacio Romero, the presen, county
clerk, is letting no grass grow under his
feet and is doing all he can to further
his candidacy for probate clerk. OPP
posed to him for the nomination, but in
a friendly way is Ambrosio Ortiz who
also has many friends and who is max
ing fair and manly fight for the nomi-
nation.
1t is understood that the delegation
from precinct No. and No. A., are for
Teesforo Rivera for assessor and j. e.
! Lacome for sheriff. The delegation
from Aqua Fra, consisting of three
members, it is also claimed is for the
same candidates.
1t is reported that there are contest
ing delegations from Santa Cruz pre-
cinct. There will doubtless be lively
time at the county convention tomorrow
over the question of which delegation is
to be admitted.
In the county convention tomorrow it
is not u question of personal ambition
but a question of what is best for the
Republican party and for the people
This question should be uppermost in
| the minds of delegates and it is to be
hoped for the good of the party and the
people that such will be the case.
1t is very likely that Antonio j. Ortiz
Il nT lrnliStnn nj, q 1ut Il I, t,
for sheriff. If he does so announce him
self it is thought that he will have the
Galisteo delegation of six for him
solidly.
Several citizens have called at the
New Mexican office and expressed their
intention of attending the Republican
county convention tomorrow for the
purpose of watching proceedings. This
is an excellent idea. If citizens gene
rally took more interest in politics and
attended primaries and conventions it
would be better for people in general
and for the tax payers in particular.
DELEGATES TO THE REPUBLICAN
COUNTY CONVENTION.
The following delegates to the Re-
publican county convention to be held
tomorrow are reported to the New
Mexican:
Precinct Is, Santa Cruz-Gregorio

The government received the proposals
of Lii Hung Chang and Prince Ching,

sdered that the Chinese government,

against the repetition of the disorders,
placed itself in the proper position and
opened the way to negotiations for COM
