TWO SIDES OF THE SHIELD

A great many people have not yet
formed a definite opinion as to the
right or wrong of the Boer war. 1t is
probably true that a majority sym
pathize more heartily with the Beers

is probably true also that q majority of
the American people hope for Eng

These latter realize the inevitable
outcome, and would like to avoid the

NOW FOB A MINT.

ally for her growth and commercial
supremacy upon the development OF
the mining industry in the southwest.
There is a tendency to concentrate In
this city all the varied activities that
60 to make up a great mining center.
This Is the smelling point, banking
point. and Quitting headquarters Of a
southwest.
Until lately there has been compar-
a~tively little buying and selling OF
mining property here, but recently
the increase in this class of business
has been so greas ss to promise the
early establishment Of a mining *.
change, where all mining properties of
the great southwest shall be listed and
which shall be q sort of clearing house
of min es, to sift out fskes and give the
really meritorious propositions their
due importance.
Perhaps such a mining exchange, in
connection with q comprehensive min
ing exhibit, would do more than any
other one thing to insure Ell Paso's
perpetual supremacy as a mining CEN
ter. But second only to this would be
. purchasing mint and government as
say Office.
The HERALD has again and again
presented this matter in considerable
detail, so that it is not necessary to ex-
slime. 1t Is enough to say that one re-
suit of it's establishment would be that
miners and country merchants would
come here with their gold and dust to
exchange for coin, and in turning 1t
over Ell Paso would invariably get a
considerable percentage Of the wealth.
The establishment OF a purchasing
mint here would in all probability be
but To first step toward the establish
ment of a coming mint. This city Is
so far away from M other mint that,
IS the Great Southwes grows In i'm
p%ortance as q mining center and It's
population increases, the cost OF trans
portation of bullion and ooin will be q
very large factor, and one that the
government cannot long overlook.
This proposition for q purchasing
mint Is something upon which the
chamber of COM merce can concentrate
its energies with very good prospects
of early success. There is no reason
why the movement for the interna-
tional dam should interfere with this
project. The chairman of the mining
Of the chamber of com
merce Is said to have expressed himself
unfsvorable to the immediate pre-
to congress of Ell Paso's de-
sire for a mint. The letters from sem
ators and representatives In yester-
HERALD would seem to indicate
that conditions are quite as favorable
now as they are likely ~ be, and that
nothing will be gained by waiting IN
til the international dam is built.
There is doubtless enough public |
in favor OF the mint to push it
along even without the active ~coopera-
tion of the chamber of commerce, but
that body is better situated than would
be any individuals to carry on effec-
tive work of campaigning, and 1t is to
be hoped that nothing will be permit
ted to prevent an earnest endeavor on
the part of Ell Paso as q whole to Sc
cure this very desirable public institu-
tion.
