II has always been Che custom in
Mexico when any accident happened
on the railroads, ESPECIALLY IL the ac-
cident resulted in death, to arrest
every American employed on the train,
aud keep them locked up for Indefinite
periods Of time. Recently there have
been several accidents down on the
Sonora road, caused by the hombres
going to sleep on the track at night,
and many engineers and conductors
are in Jail, 1t got so bad that the
train nei refused to run at night, pre-
ferring a discharge to a term in a Mex
lean Jail, from which bonds and bail
would not release them. A recent
dispatch from Nogales says that the
strained condition Of affairs on the
Sonora Railroad his been relieved by
the direct Intervention Of President
Diaz, in response to urgent kilograms
from the officials of the Southern
Pacific Railway. The President wired
from Mexico to the State authorities
at Herhosillo to detalh az little as
possible all train men arrested OF held
as witnesses; to give speedy hearing to
all railway men arrested, and TO avoid
enforcement Of indIgnitles to which
the train men have heretofore beer
subjected, such as close guard at the
point of the bayonet, aud to release
train men arrested for accidents on the
line, just as quickly as their innocence
is shown. The engineers and conduc
tors generally feel that now they hav'
a degree OF protection, and most o
, them have returned to their work, 81

The Royal Copper Go. is the tame Of
the comfany which has recently ne
gotiatcd for a number OF properties
near Cap Mountain, aud is now deveE
opiug them. The Royal Copper Co. Is
orgauized under the laws OF West
Virginia. 1t has a capital stock 81
81 200, 600, divided Into 1Oo,Oto shares
OF a par value Of sl0 each. Its New
York Office is at "A Broadway. It's
president is VIM. Rodgers, treasurer
W. f. Baldwin, and secretary Is II. II.
Abbott. It's New Mexico office Is at
LOrdsburg, Henry Cook being the
superintendent In charge here. The
company has twelve clsi US dear Cap
Mountain, about three niles south Of
town, good roads connecting the
claims with town and the railroad.
There is considerable work done on
someuf-these claims, anil others nave
but the regular ten foot hole, but in
all the openings that have been made
ane ore is in sight. On one Of
the claims are two shafts, one thirty
feet deep, the other sixty, from which
ore has been shipped which went sixty
per cent in lead, and carried high
values in silver. on the Atlantic
claim there is a Shaft sixty Ave feet
deep which shows a vein varying in
width from ten TO thirty inches, carry
ingsead, silver, copper, aud gold, which
ore assays from $50 TO $40 per ton.
There are on this property several
prospect holes all showing good ore.
There arc three veins on this claim,
lying parallel and dipping towards
each other. TIE Indications are that
these veins come together, and when
the work Is deep enough to hnd the
point Of meeting it will undoubtedly
prove to be 4 very large. strong vein.
The company has contracted for sink
ing a shaft to a depth of 100 feet on
this claim. On the Malachite there
are large groupings OF both lead and
copper ores, both carrying paying guam
titles of the precious metals. There
is no deep WORK On this property, but
numerous open cute show good ore,
one body assaying nice per cent cop
Lper. On the Manila is a fifty foot
shaft, Showing fine ore, and the ccm-
pany has made a contract to have this
shaft sunk to a depth OF one hundred
feet, There has been plenty of water
developed on the cOmpany's property
which is an important item in this
section. AS sooh Is the present con
tracts for sinking shafts are finished
the company intends to do its own
work, under its own superintendent,
and is nov making arrangements for
the erection of buildings for housing
the men. AS o o cas development
work enough is done to determine the
character and amohnt OF ore Id the
various claihts reelection works will be
erected and the property will be put
on a producing basis. The coming o.
this company to Lerdsburg is verI
gratifying to the citizens. 1t mean!
the employment Of a great deal of la
Dor, and the turning Of what have
been idle properties into producing
mines. The success of this COMPANY
will, undoubtedly induce other com
pauies to take hold Of some OF the al

THE NEW BoER ARMY.

From European papers It Is learned
that a complete reorganization OF the
Boer army has taken place recently
and it Is supposed that its successes in
the lately recorded operations are most
~ due TO this fact.
When the war broke out, the COM
manders were elected by popular vote
Each Boer followed the leader he pre-
ferred. Every soldier. in fact was a
general. He fought when he thought
the situation would Justify him TO do
So and retired when. in his Judgment,
Il was no longer possible TO hold the
ground For special expeditions volun-
teers were called The soldiers had no
pay They remained at the front az
long as they chose 10 do so, and then
returned TO their farm work; in a few
days they would again shoulder their
muskets and report for service.
All this is now changed. Regiments
have been formed, each containing no
less than 300 men, and no more than
JO0 The regiments are divided into
companies OF from 100 TO 200 men.
Lieutenant generals. brigadlers and col
onels are appointed by the commander
ln-chief, and other officers by their SUI
perlors, all subject 10 the ratification OF
the president Officers are held respon-
sibie FOR their interiors, and the soldiers
receive H.25 day, and the officers
higher compensation. Ofenses against
the martial code are TO be punished by
fines, or by Imprisonment at hard labor
while desertion has been made a capital
ofrense.
The reorganization OF the Boer army
at this stage Of the conflict does not
give any promise Of an early pacihca-
ton Of the population. When a people
so thoroughly democratic as the Beers,
submit TO strict military rule, Il
proves their determination TO resist to
the utmost the humiliation Of their
autonomy, The plan at present seems
to be 70 enlist the Cape Colony Beers In
-the cause, and II they succeed In this,
even to some degree, the struggle is al
most sure TO be continued for some
time The final outcome cannot be diff
ferent even then. but the continued
conflict means more suffering, more
bloodshed
President Kruger said the other day
that south Africa will yet save itself"
Undoubtedly he still counts on gem
eral Afrloander uprising, but Il seems
improbable that this can be effected
under the very muzzles Of British guns.
still the Beers are working hard for
their independence, and notwithstand-
ing all, what is looked upon as their
death struggle is witnessed with q great
deal OF sympathy throughout the civil
ICED world.

THE ARMY CANTEEN.

The vote in the House Of Represen-
tatiyes on the army canteen must be
taken as an indication OF the strength
Of the temperance sentiment in this
country. Some members voted against
the canteen, expressing doubts as to the
wisdom OF the prohibitory clause, while
others. undoubtedly, we're sincere In
their voting.
II Is predicted however, that the
measure will be killed in the Senate
and that the conference committee OF
the House will quietly agree 10 the
Senate action.
AS We understand Il, there is no diff
ference OF opinion as TO the need OF
temperance In the army. But some
hold that the cause IS best served by
placing the sale Of liquor to soldiers
under the control Of the officers. They
contend that under this regulation.
there Is less drunkenness In the army
than there IS when the soldiers are left
10 the mercy OF the low dives that clus-
ter round army posts. This view the
temperance people denounce. II
may therefore, be just as well TO sub
NIT the contendlng theories 10 a practi-
cal test II the abolition OF the army
Canteen can be demonstrated 10 cause
an increase Of intemperance, the vote for
lbs restoration will be as overwhelming
as the vote now was for It's abolition.
10 IS no mark OF savagery. we think.
90 say that such evils as drunkenness
cannot be wiped out by legal enact
ments. Soldiers do not lose their appe-
lite Tor strong drink because the traf-
ne in q is placed beyond the controlling
reach Of the officers Nor does that ma
terlany lessen the facilities for obtain
ing that with which 10 satisfy a de-
PRAYED appetite The true method Of
reform is through the intellect OF those
who are 10 be reformed. Legislation
when expressing the sense OF right. or
wrong OF the community Is a great help
to safeguard the morals OF that com,
munlty, but under other circumstances
Il generally remains a dead letter and
as such Is more Of a detriment than
a help Reform societies sometimes are
too anxious 70 secure legislation In
their favor. They should, instead, con-
tlnue their moral work. until legislation
