No More Mail By Way of Vancouver

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The Post
office Department has ordered that, be-
ginning with August 1. all malls for the
Hawaiian Islands shall be forwarded
exclusively to San Francisco or other
American ports for dispatch and that

mails via Vancouver. b. c.. be discon-
tinued.
If the dispatch proves correct and
such an order has been issued by the
department 1t will prove bad news for
the Islands. In the past the schedule
of steamers has been so arranged that
the Vancouver boats came at intervals
so that mail sent by them would reach
even the ports of Southern California,
before they could have had they waited
for the San Francisco steamers. FIRE.
quently as much as six days was saved
by dispatching mails by way of the
Canadian boats, so the order stopping
the transmission OF mail via Vancou-
Yer will result, In serious inconvenience
to local merchants as well as an annoy
ance to all who have correspondence
with friends or relatives In the States.
Postmaster Dat said yesterday that
he had no information on the point
from Washington, but rather thought
the dispatch was correct. He thought
that 1t might be meant to apply to
mails coming from the States to Ha-
wall and not returning. Unless or
ders to the contrary are received by
the postmaster before next Wednesday
he intends to forward the mail to the
United States on that day on the 40
rangi via Vancouver as heretofore.
The first steamer of the Canadian line
arrived In Honolulu on June list. 1893,
and received hearty welcome. A large
trade was quickly built up with British
Columbia and Puget Sound ports. bur
since the annexation OF the Islands the
trade from Seattle and Tacoma via
Vancouver has been cut off entirely.
and all goods from those ports have
had TO come direct or via San Fran

EXCAVATIONS MUST Be STOPPED.
The United States Will Prevent the Despo
liation of Cliff Dwellings,.

j. c. Hulsinger, special agent of the
interior department, was in the city
yesterday in consultation with Governor
Otero and others respecting the estab-
lishment of forest reservation in Lin
coin and Otero counties and the protec-
ton of the cliff dwellings in New Mex
leo from vandals. Mr.. Hulsinger ex-
amined the forest growths in the White,
Captain and Sacramento mountains
and recommended the establishment of
forest reservation of less than one
third of the area originally proposed
for the reservation. He picked out
only 10000 acres of strictly forest do
main in the mountains at the head
waters of the Bonito, Eagle Creek
Ruidoso and Hondo. Pine, spruce and
fir cover the proposed reserve. The reo-
pie of that section, while opposed to a
large reserve, favor a reserve of strictly
forest land that will protect the head
waters of the streams mentioned
Mr.. Hulsinger is authorized and will
promulgate orders of the interior de-
partment prohibiting any and all ex-
cavations on government land and the
carrying away of relics from the cliff
dwellings on government land. Mr..
Hulsinger has been ordered to examine
the most interesting ruins in New Mex
leo, Arizona and Colorado with view
of having them set aside as reserva-
tions wherever practical, and to notify
all persons excavating them that they
will be prosecuted. Future excavations
are to be carried on under government
auspices. Mr. Hulsinger left for Albu-
querque this evening. from where he
will go to Gallup to examine the clir
dwellings, in that vicinity. From Gal
lup he will go to his home at Phoenix,
to return later to examine the cliff
dwellers' ruins in this section.

A GOOD REPUBLICAN.
Hugh N. Smith Withdraws as Candidate
for the Coal Mine Inspectorship.

Hugh H. Smith, of Colfax county, ex-
treasurer and collector of that county
was in the capital last Sunday and
Monday. He was a candidate for the
office of United States coal mine in
'spector, made vacant by the resignation
of Major ]. w. Fleming, of Silver City
Mr.. Smith had some strong endorse
ments, specially from United States
Senator Ed. Wolcott, of Colorado. and
from some of the officials of the Colo
RADIO Coal and Iron Company. Upon his
arrival in the capital he found that JIG
f. Sheridan, of Silver City, was can
didate and had been pretty strongly en-
dorsed by leading Republicans all over
the territory for the office. Mr. Smith
being the staunch and loyal Republican
and good citizen that he is, Immediately
withdrew from the contest, saying that
if the leading Republicans of the terri
tory had endorsed Mr.. Sheridan, in the
interest Of harmony and party u"ity
he would step aside, and joined in a
strong recommendation for Mr.. Sberi-
dams appointment. Had the Republi-
can party of New Mexico more men of
the same kin and as loyal and good Re-
publicans as Hugh N. Smith, verify, it
would be invincible at all times and
under any and all circumstances.

POpULlST DISSEISlONS.
There Nay Be a Fight Over Naming
Towne's Successor.

Chicago, August 21.-The latest re-
ports received here indicate that a
meeting of the Populist national COM
mittee Is to be held on the 2Sth inst.
1t may not be as harmonious as pre-
dicted when the executive committee
was in session here early in the month.
The meeting Is called for the purpose
of selecting a candidate for the vice.
presidency. When Towne declined the
nomination of the Populists, 1t was
generally supposed that Stevenson
would receive the Populist endorsement
by general consent. Correspond ence
among the members Of the national
committee Of that party since the ex-
ecutive committee meeting makes II
plain that this result while apparently
still probable, will not be accomplished
without struggle. 1t Is understood
that many leaders of the party are
strongly urging that the COMMITTEES

IN PERFECT ACCORD.

Had an Important Conference,

Washington, August Ex-Governor
Roosevelt left for New York this morn
ing. The president and Gov. Roosevelt
discussed various campaign policies to-
gether with features of the letters Of
acceptance to be made public. 1t is the
desire of Roosevelt to have his utter
ances during the coming western tour
thoroughly In accord with the views Of
the presidential candidate; he also de-
sires to give expression to and to make
features Of the issues that the president
deems most important. Those who
conversed with the governor say that
he Is full of confidence as to the re-
suit Of the coming election, but thinks
there should be a vigorous campaign
in order to keep the people in formed
regarding important issues. The gov err
nor assured the president that there Is
no question about New York, notwith-
standing the complications just now
over the state ticket and the state con-
vention.

BLACK RANGE COUNTRY.
The Mines as They Appear Today and Thei
Future-A Talk with Mr.. Newbery.

A. A. Newberry, who has just re-
turned home after some weeks spent
in examination of the mineral resources
of the Black Range and Apache mining
districts in Socorro and Sierra counties
said today that these districts at pres
ent are handicapped by reason of the
work done during the early sos. One
sees abandoned smelters, mills, hoists.
ETC., all going to decay. Shafts caved
in and other evidences of failure which
produce a very discouraging effect;
but" said he, "after had spent four
weeks in careful examination of these
districts came to the conclusion that
with proper transportation facilities
the ores of that section could be mined
profitably. Originally I imagine that
the claims were worked as high grade
PROPOSITIONS and the various methods
adopted to treat the ores were really
entirely unsuitable. The ores of this
section are low grade, and when prop
erly developed will yield considerable
tonnage. A railroad built, as is now
proposed from Magdalena south, would
have an unusually good line, and would
result in developing a very extensive
mineral region. At the present time
very little work is being done in either
the Black Range or Apache districts,
and do not anticipate that very much
will be done until the construction of a
railroad is positively assured. The cli-
matte conditions in the Black Range are
very attractive, being practically the
same as exist in Santa Fe, making 1t a
delightful section in which to spend the
summer months"

after by the smelters on account of its
desirability for fluxing. The lowest

regular shipments of their high grade
ore, of which they have had very con-
siderable. Their new whim is in sue

as the potash remains. If the potash
is increased to three or five pounds to
each tree, according to its size. spread
ing 1t as far out as the ends of the
limbs of the tree reach or its roots ex-
tend it will increase the growth and
vigor of the tree, enhance the growth

over all the insect tribes that enter the
soil beneath the trees for winter quar-
ters, and for breeding house in which

relations upon the foliage, blossoms

A RICH FIND.
After four days spent in prospecting
on the Mosca grant-or what was
termed the Mosca grant until the land
court officially proclaimed it Uncle
Sans domain-fourteen miles north of
Santa Fe, H. s. Clancy has apparently
made mineral find of value and i'm
portance. He sent in samples of the
rock yesterday afternoon to M. F. Sena,
and these are now on exhibition at City
Engineer ]. l.. Zimmerman office.
Every mining man who has examined
the ore says it Is rich and all right
1t is red oxide of copper, estimated
to carry from 30 to 60 per cent copper
and running we'll also in gold. Ac-
experts to whom the sam
pies were submitted say 1t should yield
$40 10 5000 per ton. In a note Mr..
Clancy said he had uncovered a vein
two feet wide, but this doubtless refers
to the full width of the heavy quartz
ite rock on either side Of the rich pay

known. But If he has ten inches Of it
in place, it is big thing. Other pros
