THE NINE EXHIBIT AT THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

FL Paso is most fortunate in hav-
ing for a guest and ally so prominent
and well equipped a mineralogist and
mine expert as Professor Carrera, of
Las Cruces. Prof. Carrera's collection
of minerals. now on exhibition at the
chamber of commerce building. is one
of the finest in the world. and is per-
haps without a peer among private
collections, particularly with regard
to the possession OF rare specimens.
A visit to the chamber of commerce
now is interesting to every one. Even
the women and children will find much
to delight them. And now that the
professor himself is here. and is always
willing to talk about his specimens,
the opportunity is indeed a rare one
for the student of mineralogy and geol-
ogy, or for the practical mining man.
The collection now open to inspection
at the chamber of commerce consists
of several thousand specimens, and the
labels are carefully prepared. with the
common name, the chemical compost
ton, and the locality. The chance of
ones self with the differ
ent minerals and rocks of the world.
and comparing them with those that
occur in this vicinity, is a fascinating
one to many people, and as the pres
ence of the collection becomes more
widely known more and more people |
are taking advantage of it.
1t is pleasing to know that Profess !
sor Carrera is thinking of coming to
Ell Paso to live. During the few days |
he has spent at the chamber of com
merce he has been surprised at the |
arge number of prominent mining
men and. as he says, scientists, who
nave come in to see the mineral ex-
1ibit and have shown their intimate
of the subject. He has made
many pleasant acquaintance and is
certain that Ell Paso is now and will
,ver be the true metropolis of the
treat Southwest.

Cleveland and Columbus. Ohio. are
giving the matter of street railway
franchises their serious consideration
in an effort not to waste the city fran
chises but to get their legitimate prof
it's therefrom. The Cleveland city
railway has made a proposal embrac-
ing the following: The payment of
5000 900 in cash to the city, the grant
ing of transfers on all tickets. the sale
of six tickets for quarter, and the
payment to the city of a graduated
percentage of the entire gross receipts
beginning with per cent and increas-
ing to 5 per cent for the last ten years
of the twenty-five year franchise. This
proposal the city has rejected, meaning
to get better terms. Columbus, also.
about to make terms with the street
railway company. finds that the propo-
sal that Cleveland rejects is better than
any the Columbus railway company
has made that city.

A Brooklyn minister. DR.. Meredith,
has requested his congregation to cut
down his salary from ten thousand to
eight thousand a year because he felt
that the church was paying more than

although most people would think
eight thousand dollars a pretty good
salary for minister inasmuch as

Governor Stanley of Kansas asks
the legislature to revive the capital
punishment which he thinks will de-
crease the number of lynchings. Stu
dents of law and crime have so far
found no greater deterrent of crime
than the fear of death. Judges, law
yers. and juries shrink from the pros
pect of condemning a man to death
of taking the responsibility of parting
his body and soul and yet the death
penalty has seemed to prove itself the
for certain crimes because. it deters
crime.

THE COMING SOUTHWEST
ERN MINING CONVENTION

Today The Herald prints the call foi
. general convention of men interested
in mining. to meet in this city at the
time of the carnival. The length OIL
the list of signers, and the character ii
the names that have been affixed TO
the call. will be surprise to many Ill
Pasoans The work in behalf OF the
convention has been carried ON very
quietly, but vast amount OF territory
has been covered. and a large amount
of work done that will rebound greatly
to the material gain of the city.
In today's issue also appears let
ter from Major S. NJ. Davis. which
contains much that is encouraging
with regard to conditions in the vicin-
ity of Tucson. Major Davis makes IL
very plain in his letter. and even more
SO in conversation, that the mining
men of Arizona, at least as far west
as Phoenix, look to Ell Paso as the
coming mining center.
Los Angels has got pretty firm
foothold among the miners of Arizona.
simply because ner mining association
was organized little while before ours
was. But scores of the most prominent
mining men in the territory assured
Major Davis that as soon as Ell Paso
had it's mining association thoroughly
organized, with the prospect of max
ing a powerful and effective force of
the organization, they would cease
their unnatural allegiance to the Los
Angeles association and affiliate with
that of Ell Paso, as the natural mining
center of the Great Southwest.
1t is hard to estimate the import
ance of such gathering as that about
to be held in this city. If the attend
ance upon the convention is anything
like as large as now seems probable.
the mining convention will be the
most valuable feature of the carnival,
and the one promising the greatest
permanent good results. 1t will eff
fectually turn the eyes of mining men
throughout the Great Southwest and
throughout the country to Ell Paso as
a mining center; and the natural adj
vantages of this city as a mining mo-
tropolis once established, there is not
another city in the Southwest that can
ever deprive Ell Paso of it's rightfuI
supremacy in this respect.
OF all the manifold resources that &C
to make up the basis of Ell Paso's pros
perity, none is SO important as the
mining industry. And none promises
SO vast an increase in the future. and
SO solid and permanent a foundation

WYOMING ARID LANDS.
Buffalo Bill Heads a Delegation of
Giants With a Petition to Congress.

| A Washington special says: Buffalo
Bill came to town today with half q

weight of the visitors was 209 pounds
and they stood in their shoes an aver
age of feet ~ inches in height. They
came to urge Senator Warren to Sc
cure an extension of the time granted
by congress to settlers on arid lands
under the Carey act. This act granted
| to each of the ''arid states LOCO. 900
acres of land, provided settlers would
reclaim it by irrigation within ten
years. This limit of time will soon
be up. Col. Cody's company has spent
over 100000 in Big Horn county,
