THE COOK AND WHITE MINE.
il Has Been Opened and the Bodies Of the Two Suffo
Gated italian Miners We're Taken Out.

The Cook and White mine at Mad
rid, which has been closed for three
weeks on account of fire, was reopened
yesterday and the bodies of the two
Italian miners who were suffocated and
could not be reached at the time the
fire started, were taken out. They We're
found only las feet from the main
slope and if they had been able to
reach that additional distance, they
would have been in place of safety
and could have saved themselves or
have been rescued by others. Their
position would indicate that they had
made almost superhuman efforts to
reach the surface and it seems most
pitiful that after it all they should
have perished. They were buried here
yesterday afternoon.
That portion of the mine in which
the fire originated has been walled up.
It is not positively known that the fire
has been extinguished, and it has been
thought best not to take any chances
of it's doing any more damage. The
work of clearing out the other and
workable parts of the mine commenc-
ed this morning, but it will be some
time before any coal can be got out.
Entrance has. not yet been had far
enough to determine the extent of the
damage to property, but in the nature
of things it must have been considera-

NOT BAD L0GIC.
stu, New Mexico Should Have 0utgrown by This Time
Any Prejudice Against It on Account Of Its Name.
Alamagordo, Feb. %,

Alamagordo, Feb. %, 1902.
To the Editor of the New Mexican,
My Dear Sir: Having been interested
in your discussion of the many sided
question regarding the name New Mex
leo, incident to possible statehood; with
your indulgence, permit me to note
that you say capital is not scared
away by name," and to beg to diirer
with you. In my humble opinion cap
ital is often obviously influenced by
"that same" You say truly that capi-
tai will seek profitable investment in
Siberia, in Timbuctoo and in Labrador.
but Of the three, think that every
thing else being equal, 1t would go the
quickest to Labrador, because Labra-
dor is English and England has good
name. England is well known to be
great on protecting property rights,
the good old law of mine and thine.
Capital is timid as Baron Rothschild
remarked and he ought to know. Come:
Let us reason together. You are right,
New England has a good name. Fer
haps it naturally inherits this happy
distinction in it's essentially English
origin. Mexico is associated in the av-
erage eastern mind with disturbing
revolutions, an association New Mexi-
co is unfairly burdened with in its
semi-synonymous appellation, new
Mexico-thus has Old Mexico's un-
profitable reputation saddled upon her
and has it to overcome. Is this New
Mexico in the same sense that New
England is New England? Far be. IT
from me to disparage any of the ma
tive population. I have found them
obedient to the laws and better cltl-
zens than many so-called American
lawyers.
The eastern mind Is slow of enlight-
enment regarding this country. The
eastern man seems almost unreasona-
BILE in his opinion often regarding New
Mexico.
Why does his chin drop at the men
ton of that word Mexico? for one
give it up and remain sincerely and
cordially yours, Andrew Meyers.

y BAD FOR The POSTMASTER.
Atanaco RoIbaI Of Pscos Is Accused Of Being Short 10
Ms Funds

Post Office Inspector Charles l..
Doran and Dep,ty United States
Marshall Fred Fornoff came in
last evening with Postmaster Atana-
clio Roiba and his assistant San
tiago Bustamante, accused OF being
short in the post Office funds at Pecos,
San Miguel county. They were given
hearing this afternoon before United
states Commissioner John P. Victory.
Roibal lives at Rowe seven miles from
Pecos and it is alleged that he went to
Pecos only once month to check up
his a. sistant Santiago Bustamante who
had the post office in his store. The
charge is that Roibal would take stamps
from the Pecos postoffice to sell them at
his store at Rowe and then use the mo-
ney for private purposes. The inspec-
tor found his accounts short three times
in succession since last Thursday and
the arrests followed.

THE FIGHT
FOR STATEHOOD
Delegate Rodsy Has a Right to Expect Sub
stantiaI Help from His Constituents in
This Matter
MORE ENTHUSIASM NEEDED
Petitions and Resolutions TO Show That New Mexico
Really Wants Statehood Should Be Sent TO Con-
gessmsn and Senators from Every Part
Of the Terrnory.

Washington, d. c., February Il. 1902.
Mr.. Editor: Whenever any great
question affecting labor or capital IS
up before the people, every capitallsuc
and labor organization sends a petition
to congress asking that body to favor
It's particular view of the question. New
Mexicos political future is now hang
ing in the balance, and cannot see
why every labor organization, CONNER
cial body, and union in the territory,
should not pass strong resolutions IA
voring our enabling act for statehood,
both houses of congress. The people OF
New Mexico, and her municipalities,
labor unions, corporations, banks, etc.
cannot have the interest Of the terri
tory at heart unless they are willing to
go the small expense necessary to have
proper resolutions with reference to
this subject, printed and forwarded as
indicated. most respectfully ask that
it be done. 1t is shame to permit one
lone, voteless delegate to make the en-
tire IlSHL lOT 4NCW AuSAiSc . eeUiA'iS''"A'
to the union in congress, for that Is
what I am forced to do, apart from the
splendid newspaper aid and the few
instances of splendid individual aid
that I am getting from the territory.
If every editor in New Mexico would
write a good editorial on the subject,
and then have his municipality buy 500
copies of it, and mark them and mail
them to every member Of congress, 1T
would indeed have a good effect, and
if our merchants would write to their
eastern connections and ask the latter
to write the delegation of their state in
congress to help us. our battle would
be easier.
Very truly yours.

THE DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC.
Seems TO Be General In the Country Districts Of Rio
hrrIba and Taos Counties

Superintendent j. c. Cranda !, of tn"
United States Indian school, received
word today that 40 deaths from dipthe-
ria have occurred the past few weeks in
two of the northern precincts of Taos
county. At San Juan pueblo there are
two cases and across the river in the
vicinity of Chamita there are very many
cases. At Taos pueblo, where anti
toxin is being used, no new case has
broken out the past few days. Superin-
tendent Crandall is determined to main
tain the strictest quarantine of all the
Indian pueblos in the territory and will
make arrangements to have every In.
dian inocnlated with anti-toxin and thus
make them immune to diphtheria. No
smallpox cases have been reported this
year among the Pueblo Indians. Some
difficulty is experienced in obtaining
physicians for the Pueblos.

two mining claims in the Pittsburg
mining district in the Caballo noun
tains in Sierra county. The consider
alton was $4,000 in cash. The vein on
the claims for their entire length is
$50 feet and is between we'll defined
walls of lime and granite, general
average of the vein showing assays of
II per cent copper. The Abbey Mining
Company will at once put force Of
men to work to open up this property.
The company is also conducting exten-
sive operations at Abbey in Socorro
county under the management Of
Nathan Hall. Here the company en-
countered large flow of water which
compelled it to put In an expensive
pumping plant. Estimates are now
being made for a plant that will ena-
BILE the company to sink It's main
shaft to a depth of 700 or 800 feet. The
development of another extensive
property which the company owns In
Socorro county Is contemplated In the
near future. So far all work has been
done in a systematic manner and with
ample capital. The Abbey Company
promises soon to be a good producer.

specimens of cerrusite and crystallized

Considerable work is being done this
year in the Socorro mountains by Will

A report is current here of good
gold strike having been made fourteen
miles east of Socorro.

baseball teams and 1t seems to be nip
and tuck as to which will make the
best team. Both teams play GOOD
game. They have erected grano
stand which is we'll patronized by the
public. They will soon be sending out
challenges and the teams OF Santa f'e,
Albuquerque Las Vegas and silver
CITY had better get down to hard prac-
tice or they will have but slim show
of winning.
Business Is generally improving IN
the county. From careful estimate
there will be fully 20 per cent increase
in the acreage Of wheat put out this
spring. The prospect for fruit Is good
although almonds and apricots are out
in full bloom already.
The schools are we'll attended In the
county and the health so far this

ceptionally good.
