LIVELY TOWN.
fierro Mining Camp the Scene o.
Three Cutting ARRAYS.
TWO or THE INJURED MAY DIE.

From the silver City Independent.
Three cutting ARRAYS took place In
the mining camp of Ferro. eighteen
miles from Silver City. Of which two
may have fatal results.
The first occurred Thursday night,
a Mexican by the name of Juan AL
mama being the victim. The trouble
was the result OF n drinking bout In
Almanza's tent and his assailant was
another Mexican. Antonio Lopez. In
the fight which took place Almanac
was stabbed by a knife in the left
side, the weapon having been driven
into his body by Lopez with sufficient
force to completely v IN OF the
ribs. The wounded man was reported
yesterday morning as bleeding intern
ally and very likely to die. DIR. Bee.
son Is rendering medical attention,
but does not expect to save his life.
Lopez made his escape and a not
been apprehended.
On Friday night n miner by the
name of Alex. White was m~urderously
assaulted and stabbed In the left Kid
ney. While there is some question as
to the identity OF the man who did the
cutting. a Mexican by the name Of
Francisco Sotelo is wanted by the au-
thorities. but has not yet been caught.
| The cause Of the stabbing Is sup.
posed to have grown out of the case
Of Francisco Molina. who is now con.
fined in the Silver City Jail. awaiting
trial for murder. White Is a witness
for Molina. and as the feeling among
the Mexicans at Fferro Is very bitter
against the latter. II is thought that
this fact had something to do with
Friday nights ARRAY. White Is vefy
seriously hurt and his recovery IL
doubtful. although he has the advaGt-
age of a fine constitution. White was
formerly employed at the Iron Head
nine.
The same evening Juan Malinda
was cut In the neck In a fight which
followed n drunken row. In which sew
eral were participants. He will re
cover. He is just recovering from an
other wound inflicted a short time

ENORMOUS PENSION LIST.

Since the first day OF July, 1890. to
the end OF June, 1901, the United
States government has disbursed the
enormous sum of S?,7G3,3 1853, 1888 for
pensions. This vast amount has been
chiefly paid to the participants in five
wars-that of the revolution, the war
OF 1872, the Mexican war, the war OF
the rebellion and the Spanish-Ameri.
a war. The greatest amounts have,
of course, gOn to the survivors and
dependents of the soldiers who fought
In the civil war, although the sum ex-
pended in meeting the claims grow
ing out OF the Mexican war is by no
means inconside.atle. Already the
drafts to meet the consequences of
the war with Span are making them
selves felt. Las year the Spanish
war pensioners received $l.l75,225, an
increase over the preceding year Of
SS42,320.
The statement OF Commissioner
Evans, from which the above figures
were derived, also gives the amounts
of money paid tn pensioners unde,
different administrations since the
civil war. During President Grant
first term the average disbursements
were S29,O34. 069 annually; during thu
four years OF his SECOND term tn
average was $2S, sos. S39. While Haye
was president the average was $3S
339,622 a year; In the succeeding ad
ministration IL rose to $59,456, 26S
there was a further average increas'
during Cleyeland's first term TO s76
409, l65. IL was sle9, 92G,931 a yea
while Harrison was in office and slS9
4S7,GO2 during Cleveland's secon,
term. The yearly average rose {
$li0,OO0,l37 between 1897 and 1901
and IL will probably exceed tina
amount digging McKinley's secon'
term,

CROP PROSPECTS,.

II appears from the government
crop report for August, recently is
sued, that the corn crop will be con
siderably less than was formerly es-
timated. The yield vas expected 20
be 60 to Go per cent Of the normal, or
average. But from the August indi.
cations the official compilers have o u
cluded that the yieiU of corn will not
be more than "a per cent, which Is
1916 lower than at the corresponding
date in 1900.
The lowest average is found In Kan.
as. where the condition OF the crop
is represented by 10. the maximum
being 100. The figures for Missouri
r 90, for Nebraska SO. for Illinois
81, for Indiana 81, and for Iowa 81.
From these percentages 1t Is esti'
mated that the total corn crop OF the
country will be approximately 1900,
900 600 bushels, as compared TO more
than 2,100, 600 900 bdshels last year,

DAWN OF ARBITRATION.

Confidence In tho ultimate triumph
Of arbitration as a means OF settling
labor disputes, says the Los Angeles
Herald, is strengthened by the re-en.
dorsement OF the principle by the In.
ternational Typographical convention,
in session at Birmingham, Ala. This
action on the part Of the national lead
or among the trades is peculiarly in
terosting now because of the wide
spread friction between capital and
labor. II is a timely declaration by
the most intelligent of the trade
unions. in favor Of amicable adjust.
ment OF disputed Questions. The &C.
ton OF the international body at this
time confirms and clinches all that has
hitherto been done by the T%ypograph.
ical union in favor Of the principle OF
arbitration.
There is no reason TO doubt that
arbitration will be the final solution
of the labor problem. Since the be
ginning Of the emancipation OF labor a
gradual process OF evolution has been
In progress. Immense gains have
been made in securing for labor a
Just share OF the profits OF produc,
tion. but there is the drawback that II
ever present. This, IT, the loss Of IN
laboring mar resulting from strikss
and lockouts, witt consequent idle
ness. The suspension Of work, from
such causes, not only stops the prog
ress Of the worker, hut sends him
backward. The little that he may
save by toll Is quickly swept away In
