Parties and Issues.

The talk among politicians
and in the press Of "reorganiz-
ing the Democratic party is
somewhat amusing. Senator
Pettigrew has proposed to or
ganize new party, and some
Southern gentlemen suggest d
practical abandonment Of about
all the planks on which the
Democratic party, under Bryan S
matchless leadership, fought the
late campaign. With silver and
anti-milltarism and anti-imperi
alism out of a Democratic plat
form there would be very little
left except the tariff to distin-
guish the party from genuine
Mark Hanna Republicanism.
That is just about what these
suggestions mean, and as a con
| sequence they are not to be
listened to for an instant.
It is impossible TO forecast the
exact form that the issues be
tween national parties in 1904
will assume. In 1896 the issue
was silver. No one then dreamed
that militarism and imperialism
would assume their present com
manding Importance, or indeed
have any eXistance as national
issues. But they were present
and alive in 1900 when the nation
al conventions met, and the
Democracy took its stand there
on, in accord with its tradition
al principles, and its traditional
reverence for the declaration of
independence and the federal
constitution. Just what phase
these issues may assume four
years hence is beyond the vision
Of any man.
Those who advise that the
Democratic party begin system
OF reorganization by abandoning
its principles may be classed as
outside the line Of wisdom or
sincerity. Issues make parties,
not parties issues. Certain ques
tions are ever before the country,
and on these parties must take
their stand 1t is a part Of the
honorable history Of the Demo
cratic party that it always has
judged these questiOnsin accord
ance with the principles of JEFF
ferson, and favored or opposed
them accordingly It will con
tinue to do so regardless of the
advise OF reorganizers, OF the
suggestions Of political quacks.

American Turquoise.

tits afactnot generally known
that the greater part OF the tur-
quolse sold in this country, and
a large part of that used abroad,
comes from the mines Of New
Mexico. The American product,
it is said, is gradually but sure
ly displacing the Oriental stone.
The colors of the American tur-
quOise are not only more to the
taste Of the cOnnOisseur, but are
more permanent, the fading of a
New Mexican turquoise beng a
very rare instance. Turquoise
mining in New Mexico is of very
remote origin. Many Of the
present mines when located in
dicated operations by the in
habitants of New Mexico at a
time prior to or contempora-
neous with the Aztecs, stone and
earthen vessel OF great antiq-
uity being found in the work
ings. The rarest specimens OIL
the wampum of the New Mexi
can Indians contain beads OF
turquoise, many OF them being
gems according to modern stand
ards.
One of the most successful
turquoise mines IN the territory
is located near Los Cerrillos, d
station on the Santa Fe railway
Many gems of great value are
credited to this mine, the work
ings and information regarding
the output of which are Jealous
ly guarded from the public.
Other successful mines are 10

The United Verde Mine.

It is a fact not generally
known, but a fact all the same,
says the Journal Miner, that d
proposition to purchase the
United Verde mine at 100000, :
900 was recently refused. The
deepest workings Of the mine
are now only 700 feet, while re-
cent explorations with diamond
drill were made to pepth of O.
900 feet, showing a continuation
of the ore body to that depth.
If the property remains in the
family of w. A. Clark his great
grand children will leave a
princly inheritance in the prop
erty to their offspring. The
value OF the mine is simply be-
yond computation. It's known
output is over $1,000,000 per
month in copper, but the addi-
tional value in gold and silver is
known only to Mr.. Clark and a
very few of his most confidential
and entrusted employees. The
company is capitalized with 300,-
900 shares of the par value of
$40 each, but for the last block
OF stock purchased by Mr.. Clark
he paid 500 per share, or on
basis Of $50, 900, 900 Tor the mine.
While there are from 1000 to l.
200 men on the pay rolls of the
company less than fifty miners
are employed in the mine. The
remainder of this regiment OF
employees are engaged in han
ding the ore after this little
squad has knocked it down,
smelling the ore, handling the
product and in various other ca
pacities. The average job on
the works is Of short duration,
as there is an average Of about
ten men hired and as many quit
every day. Miners, machinist,
smelter men and those employed
in the better paying positions,
where skill is required as rule
remain in the employ Of the
The Winslow mail., 1900-11-15

It is perfectly legitimate and
lawful for capital to combine to
control the price of their pro-
ducts, the raw material that
goes into those products, and
the price of labor that manufaC-
lures the products. That is a
business transaction, and the
law cannot interfere. But it is
conspiracy for labor to organize
for the purpose of maintaining
their wages at standard that
will permit them the indulgence
of a few of the ordinary COM
forts Of life.
