RECENT Mine DECISIONS.

is SO worded as to become a speculative

Finding a Mine.

Here's a piece of quartz" said the
mining expert, picking up a sample of
rock, 'all precious metals are found
with quartz, or flint, which is the same
thing-all being silica. Some of this is
of water formation and some of fire.
Pretty, isn't it? Shale sometimes car
ries meta, but it's the exception. AL
ways look for iron and then for quartz
to find the precious metals. There's the
lime quartz, but it don't count as a met
al carrier. Some quartz is of very deli
cate fiber and extremely beautiful, and
only Jack Frost can initiate it's crystals
on the window pane. A few ores have
taste and odor, but don't think from
this fact that you can find a mine with
your mouth or nose. 1t requires a pick
and drill and lots of hard work"

Colorado and New Mexico owe much
to the amateur photographer. Now
adays almost every tourist and many
health-seekers are equipped with a
camera, and the pictures they send or
take home are among the best adver-
tisements that Colorado and New Mex
leo can be given. They tell better than
words Of the magnificent scenery. Of
the quaint views and of the historic
monuments which abound in these two
commonwealth. 1t Is the sight of such
pictures that has awakened the desire
of more than one person to see the
west and to live its life. New regions
with grand scenery have been opened
by tourists whose camera brought the
first accurate knowledge Of their beau
ties to the public. The amateur photog- |
should be encouraged, for he is
doing a grand work for New Mexico.

KIBBE'S PARTING SHOT.
Delivered as He Leaves Populism for the
Republican Party.

w. f. Kibbe, a Franklin county
Kan.) farmer, who has been a leader
in the Populist party for ten years, and
was a delegate to the Sioux Falls con-
vention, issued an address to the Pop
ulists of Kansas on his change to Re
publicanism, in which he says:
THE mighty things that confront us
to-day must be met from a standpoint
other than party, and the way the ques-
tons have been met and managed by
the party in power thus far ought to be
approved by the American people. Dur
ing my few remaining days I prefer to
be a citizen rather than a partisan, and
instead of still staying over in the old
mule lot, with it's gloom and mud, lis
tening to the eternal braying of asses
| and the %croaking of frogs and making
faces and throwing mud at the great
procession moving along, I am going to
jump the fence, get out into the broad,
sunny highway, join it and help make,
not mar, our prosperous, progressive,
yea, imperial country as it enters upon
the new century with it's many great
problems still waiting for a solution.
Il am now fully convinced" he says,
that Populism has no future. During
the past five years since Populism be-
| gan to make fusion alliances I have
witnessed more schemes, more disrepu-
table political trading. more low cum
ming among fusion managers and more
dishonesty among fusion officials thar

Bland, like most other mining camps

Bland, like most other mining camps,
experiences periods Of comparative dull
ness. But those spells are merely tenn
porary, and often come to manufacture
ing and commercial cities as well. The
future of Bland as one of the leading
mining towns of the southwest is as
sured, for the money already expended
in developing and prospecting it's vast
ore bodies, the machinery that has gone
into it's mills, and the large eXpendi-
lures made for the thorough exploiting
of it's mineral wealth are assurances
that the camp Is not one built by a tenn
| porary boom, to be forgotten as soor
as richer ore deposits are discovered
elsewhere.

Two years ago the New Mexican did
strong and successful work in aiding
and attaining Republican success in
San Miguel county. 1t will do so again
this present campaign, and success, a
greater success, than that of two years
ago, will be the result in that county
and the entire Republican ticket will be
elected there by a handsome majority
This will be a bitter pill for the Pop,
%gangsters and their newspaper support
ers, but that matters not. These gang
sters and their newspaper satellites are
anxious to get their hands into the
country treasury of San Miguel county
again, but they will not succeed. Sar
Miguel suffered for several years from
the stealings and flchings of dishonest
county officials elected by a Democrat
ic-Pop. combination, and experience is
proving a good tutor. The voters OF
that county will have no more of thai
damnable combination, not if they
know themselves and they think they
do.
