MINING ACTIVITY IN THE BLACK RANGE,
Miners Scarcs-wagss 50 Per Capitalists and
Investors frequently Visit the Northern District
Of the Rance.

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Fairview, N. NJ, June 21-Activity in
mining matter in this, the Chloride
and the Hermosa mining districts, is
increasing and miners are hard to get.
Wages are So per day and fifty addi-
tional men could easily find employ-
ment in the three camps. c. T. Brown,
the Socorro mining engineer and Sec
retary Of the board of regents of the
School of Mines, has been in this camp
for week looking after the work
now being done on the valuable prop
critics of the Mines Development Asso-
citation, of which he is general manag-
er. Boston capitalists mostly hold the
stock Of this association and work on
these properties is being pushed vigor-
ously, intelligently and successfully.
The returns from carloads of ore here
tofore shipped by the company, your
correspondent understands, have been
quite satisfactory. More eastern capi-
tai than ever before is being invested
in these three districts and investors
and experts have recently been fre-
quent visitors to the camps named.
The Black Range Is all right and ev-
erything Is looking up materially.

The FIGHT FOR STATEHOOD.
The Denver Republican Points Out the Mistake the
Republican Senator's Arc Making.
Saws the Denver Republican


Senator Quay, OF Pennsylvania, is
making fight for the admission of New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona as states
during the present session of congress,
and he should receive all the assistance
that it may be practicable to give him.
''The Republicans of Colorado want
the admission bill to become law. They
appreciate that is demanded as an act
OF justice to the people of the three ter.
ritories in question, and they recognize
also that the passage of the enabling act
at this session would help to insure a
Republican victory in at least two of
them next fall.
1.-The Republican senators who op-
pose statehood at this time are making
a mistake. They do not seem to appre-
ciate its bearing upon the future politi-
cal status of the proposed states. There
is nothing in the principles of the party
to cause them to take this position.
Both political parties are agreed that as
soon as a territory is qualified for state
hood its people should be given the
right to erect government Of that
kind.
"Al three of the proposed states are
fully capable of maintaining state gov
ernments. They have sufficient popu-
lation and taxable wealth, and their
people desire to be admitted. More
than this congress should not ask. Sen
ators from east of the Mississippi should
not permit any little local prejudice to
cause them to throw obstacles in the
way of progress and development Of

Under Arrest.

Topeka, Kas., June 23.-Matron Lowe

Nearby lay the revolver with four

father and three brothers We're in the

GOVERNOR OTER0
ON STATEHOOD
He Talks to the Rocky Mountain News
About the Injustice of Keeping New
Mexico Any Longer Out of the
Sisterhood Of States.
THE QUESTION OF STATEHOOD IS
ENTIRELY A N0n-PkRTISAN QUESTION

The Denver Rocky Mountains News
yesterday morning printed the follow
ing interview with Governor Otero:
| Governor M. A. Otero of New MeXi-
co, is at the Brown hotel, in company
with Mrs. Otero and Miss Julia B
Freeman of Washington, D. c. The
governor will remain several days in
the city, upon private business. He
speaks in emphatic terms concerning
the opposition of eastern members OF
.Lcongress to the admission of New Mex
| leo as a state
"We made the most vigorous fight
possible" said he, "but the prejudice
of eastern leaders overcame our argu-
ments, and New Mexico remains a ter
ritory. We believe, however. that the
time is very near at hand when New
Mexico will receive justice and will no
longer be handicapped by being in the
| list of territories. Why New Mexico
has a greater population now than
New York had when the colony was
admitted into the federation as one of
the thirteen original states The area
of New Mexico is greater than that of
all the New England states combined
and several of the neighboring states
added. We have as law-abiding and
patriotic people in New Mexico as are
found in the United States.
"The question of admission of New
Mexico to the union," continued the
governor, 'is not a political question.
We have kept it entirely separate from
politics, and recently l had the satis-
faction of appointing a committee of
30 leading citizens of the territory-15
Of them Republicans and Is Democrats
Ito go to Washington next winter and
assist in carrying on the battle for
New Mexico. We all stand together in
the desire to see this act become law,
and I would gladly retire from the po-
sition of governor of the territory If
the act of resignation would make
New Mexico state. We rest under a
cloud which nothing can remove but
the acceptance of New Mexico into the
sisterhood of states. The feeling is
unanimous in our territory, and we
feel that it is rank injustice for this
great country to send school teachers
to the Philippine Islands and to ex-
tend so many privileges to Cuba, and
at the same time neglect duty to
territory right at home which is one of
the most promising re.dons Of the
United States"
The governor speaks in high praise
of the assistance given in both branch
es of congress by the delegation from
this state in the fight for admission.

TO the PsnIteniIary Yesterday.

Flower Day at the penitentiary yes
terday brought out large crowd O
people who attended the interesting ex
ercises. Rev. w. A. Cooper made al

and other exercises in which the con
victs participated. One of the features
was the singing of a song by Mrs.
e. Wood, the music and words o.
which were composed by E. U. Trout
one of the convicts and which runs az
follows:
Isaiah, 35th Chapter
Friends though your life's desert
Dried up by sinful foes,
The desert shall rejoice and sing
And blossom as the rose.
The Lord will cause a healing stream
Through this dry land to flow;
Where thorns and thistles once did
thrive
Sweet flowers now will grow.
Then shall the lame man leap with JOY
The blind they now shall see;
The deaf shall hear the gospel bells
Ring out: "Salvations free!
The parched land shall become pool
The thirsty land a spring
Where thirsty dragon once did dwell
Now song, birds sweetly sing.
This once parched land and wilderness
Is now fruitful dale
And where we heard the night owl hoot
Now sings the nightingale.
No lion, nor ravenous beast
In this new land is found,
There the redeemed shall walk with
Christ
And love shall there abound.
Chorus.
The desert shall rejoice and sing
And blossom as the rose
The Lord to us salvation brings
From all our sinful foes.
The members of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union desire to thank
those who 80 kindly donated flowers for
Flower Day at the penitentiary; also
all who assisted in singing. speaking
and other acts Of usefulness.
