The St Louis Globe Democrat announces that in its
issue of Sunday December % it expects to be able to
give to its the result of its great beauty
test
EARLY in the present year the Globe.Democrat
appropriate to the coming St Louis fair, celebrating
the centenary of the Louisiana purchase began the
publication of series Of articles the States which
have been created out Of territory acquired by this
purchase, and their resources and products, chief
among which arc the beautiful women who are mum
berod among the inhabitants Pictures of some of
these lovely ladies being published in the Globe Demo
rrai excited considerable discussion to their
uaratve beauty, and that paper undertook the bold
task of ascertaiung the very farest of all the fair in
all of the Louisiana purchase States from Louisiana 70
Washington. committee of judges has been appoint
cd consisting of painter, sculptor and art critic,
and the Globc-Dcmocrat has 100 photographs of
beautiful women each chosen by majority Of
votes the beautiful of her native place.
1t will be remembered that so started the Trojan
war The Globe-Democrat as it has more contestants,
has three to play the part OF Paris. It is to be
hoped that unpleasant consequences will follow the
GlobeDemocrat having taken the place of Ers, and
that it has not thrown apple Of discord There is
soacc I'm the consideration that although doubtless the
successful competitor will prove as fair as Venus in
the original story the contestants are mortal women
and not goddcssos with the power OF promise and per
Torrance of trio OF immortals corrupt the decs
ION. Tor even the wisdom of Minerva herslf was not
able save her from such contest and such
COURSE although a goddess, she also a woman
and was there ever yet fair but she made
mouth in a glass?'

our MINING INTERESTS.

Mining interests IN New MeX1-
iCo seem to be in the ascendant,
capital is coming in from many
parts of the country seeking New
Mexico properties. The industry
has greatly increased in import
ance, in Southern New Mexico
since the building of the FL Paso
& Northeastern railroad, and the
outlet to the northeast when the
Rock Island connection is made
will revo1utionize the mining in
tereSts of south and central New
Mexico. Gold, coal and copper
and lead mines will be opened in
the White Oaks, Jicarilla and
Gallina districts as consequence,
and it will be Of incalcu1able bene-
fit to this section of country.
Grant county is also enjoying
healthy mining boom, and is
making a creditable record in min
eral production. In the neigh
borhood of Puerto de Luna or
Santa Rosa both coal and oil will
be worked as soon as the railroad
is in condition to handle the ton
age. Elizabethtown in Colfax
county is doing more mining than
ever before and Socorro county
inst west of Lincoln is showing
up some of the richest copper in
the territory, and capital is COM
ing in from various sources.
Bland, the Cochiti country is pro-
gressive, and Mogollon, the San
Andres, and the Otero county dis
tricts are active-in fact the in
dustry throughout the territory
is expanding in leaps and bounds,
and the output for 1901 will show
New Mexico's mineral production
at least 100 per cent greater than
! in 1000.

CAPTAIN COAL FIELDS WILL NOT
BE ABANDONED AT PRESENT.

Col. A. S. Greig of the Ell Paso
Northeastern railroad and mem
Der of the New Mexico Railway
and Coal company, came in last
night and partly confirmed the
story published in The Herald a
few days ago about the opening
of the new mines in the Maxwell
grant. In discussing the matter
Mr.. Greig said:
Eyes, we are opening the mines
and all Indications point to the
fact that we have some very fine
property. A force of men are now
at work on the property and will
be greatly increased soon. At
present no railroad goes near the
mines but | think that our road
will put in track to the mines
as soon as the coal is ready 10
ship. If the coal is what we think
it is we have great thing.
mo, we have not settled on
taking the men from the Captain
mines. We will work a good
force there but expect to have
more men at work at Maxwell City
than at Captain. The coal at
Captain is in as good shape as it
ever was but of course it is in a
broken condition.-El Paso Her
