An EARLY CONVENTION.
A Democratic Leader Who Believes in a
Long Campaign,

Hon. y. A. LarrazOla, member of the
Las Vegas bar, whose name is spoken
of in connection with the nomination
for delegate in congress on the Demo-
cratic ticket, arrived in the city yester-
day and left this forenoon for Ojo Ca
liente. He has been confined to his
room with severe attack of rheumatism
and he goes to Hon. Antonio Joseph s
hot springs in search of a cure. A
number of the Democrats here called
on him this morning at the hotel and
extended him the glad hand. Mr.
Larrazola is said to have declared en-
phatically in favor of his party holding
an early convention. He would not say
that he was candidate for the nomi-
nation of delegate but stated that as a
Democrat occupying position in the
rear ranks it was his humble opinion
that long campaign was necessary in
order that ample time might be given
the party leaders to get out before the
people and have a full and frank dis
cussons of the many and intricate new
party issues that have arisen during the
past two years. Hon. G. f. Easey
chairman of the territorial Democratic
committee had quite conference with
Mr.. Larrazola just prior to his depar-
ture, and 1t is said the subject of the
conference related to the advisa bility of
calling meeting of the territorial
central committee at an early day to
discuss the situation and outline the
preliminaries of the approaching
campaign.

ELECTION BETS.
New Mexico Democrats Failed to Take Up
Big Wager.

Big Wager.
One of the New Mexico delegates to
the Kansas City convention says that
a member of the territorial sheep san
itary board dropped into New Mexico
Democratic headquarters Just after the
nomination of Stevenson and bantered
half d dozen or SO gathered there to
osition was an offer to wager 500
against $50 that Bryan and Stevenson
would not be elected. An Albuquerque
man took the bet. The sheep man then
proposed two other similar bets, which
were taken by one of the delegates and
a Kansas City physician who happened
to be present. Then he offered 500 to
$50 that the next delegate to congress
from New Mexico would be a Repub-
lican. This also was taken, when he
produced big roll Of all kinds of
money, and said: Gentlemen, you seem
to be fond of these homeopathic doses
what do you say to a wager of an
amount large enough to make the meet
ing interesting? I have here 81, 200 that
ought to look good to you people II you
sincerely believe you have fighting
show. Enthusiasm Is all right, as far
as it goes. but my sheep money talks.
What do you say-I offer $1,000 to $500
on the same basis that 1 wagered $400
just now?" There were no takers, and
the incident was soon declared closed.

Senator Andrews mines and mills
near Hillsboro are now running to their
full capacity, and a large number Of
men are employed. Senator Andrews
expects to remain at the mines for sew
eral weeks before returning to Pitts
burg ...
DONA ANA COUNTY.
Two men are working in the Modoc,
at Organ. but thousands of tons of con-
generating ore are on the dump. Mum
dell & Casad are drilling down the
gulch. about $500 feet below the mine.
where, IL sufficient water Is developed,
the company will erect their mill and
connect it with their mine by cable
tram.
f. P. Warner, vice president of the
Torpedo mine. and P. r. Stephens, both
Of Chicago. arrived at Organ last week.
The Torpedo No. has struck feet of
ore in drift. The Torpedo is shipping
ore daily. and Is receiving lumber for
the building Of ore bins at the south
shaft. Bruce Profit struck large lead
of fine galena just east Of the postohlce
at Organ. New and strong companies
are on the eve Of beginning work at Or
gan. and inquiries for copper and lead
properties are being received daily.
GRANT COUNTY.
The Hardy mine in the Burros has
been shut down and the men paid off.
No reasons are given for this action.
The New Mexico Development Com
pany, which has been developing the
property known as the Bragaw-Potter
property, has decided to shut down as
the result of its work has not been what
it contemplated.
There is greater activity in mining in
the Santa Rita district than for many
months past. Immediately upon as
suming charge Of this celebrated prop
erty B. B. Thayer commenced working
an increased force of men. and from
time to time he has increased the num-
Der of miners and workmen who are
engaged In making numerous mine and
surface improvements. The concen-
trating plant Is being run continuously
by the company. and some excellent re-
suits are being obtained. Large guam
titles of machinery are arriving almost
daily to be used in making needed i'm
provements on the larger properties of
the company. and 1t is now safe to say
that this district will be one of the
largest and most active in the south
west within ninety days.
At Redrock, Judge L. P. Deming has
charge of the properties Of the Alesan-
dro Copper Company. of New Haven.
Conn. The company owns some two
miles on well-defined ledge that
wherever opened shows remarkable
copper values. He recently sacked Ip
some thirty samples taken from vari-
Gus places on this ledge and sent them
east for assays. They ran from to 62
per cent in copper. His force of men
are now at work putting up buildings
for the use Of the company and the en-
ployes. As soon as they are properly
housed development work will be COM
menced on the property. About $500
worth of work has already been done
on the property. 1t Is not probable that
reduction works will be erected until a
large amount of development work is
done.
