CALL FOR CATTLE
| men TO ORGANIZE
Objects Of the Meeting to be Held in
Deming the Last Week in
March, Set Forth by
Secretary Barnes.
MANY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
Editor of the New Mexican:

Editor of the New Mexican:
At the recent meeting of the National
Live Stock Association, at Kansas City,
the cattlemen of New Mexico got to-
gether aud organized, or rather took
steps to organize, a territorial cattle as
sociation by appointing W. Fl. Jack, of
Silver City, as chairman, and appointing
w. G. Barnes, of Dorsey, secretary and
treasurer, to take up the work and start
the ball rolling. There were seventeen
active cattlemen at that meeting, repre-
senting among them over 100000 head
OF cattle, and the sentiment was unani-
nous that there was need of one good,
strong central organization to speak for
and care for the cattle interests of the
territory. Every industry in New Mex
leo has some organization excepting the
cowmen, and here is business repre-
senting millions OF invested capital the
second largest tax paying industry in
| the territory, without an organized body
to protect it. There are many vital
questions that the New Mexico cattle
men should be organized upon. The
leasing of public lands. the Beef Trust
and its proposed IN rger and many
equally important measures are coming
up and the cattlemen should get to-
gether and decide upon what is best for
their interests, and then through a well
organized and active association let
their wants be known in no uncertain
tones For this purpose we ask the CO.
operation and assistance of every cattle
owner In New Mexico in forming this
central association. Membership will
be both through local associations and
by personal representation. The cost
will be small. No attempt will be made
to handle matters that belong to the To-
cal association, and we hope to make it
power for the good of the cattemen
of New Mexico.
A meeting will be held at Deming in
March, Immediately after the Texas As
sociation meets in Ell Paso, at which
permanent organization will be made,
and we ask every cattle association in
the territory to send delegates and as
many individual cattle owners as can do
so to attend it, Special rate will be
asked for on all the railroads, and we
hope to have good meeting.

Secretary and Treasurer, Dorsey.

; grounds. A switch, with six spurs,
Fe railroad, reaches all principal build
ings.
With some alterations, the entire
plant will be more especially adapted
to the immediate uses Of the school. 1t
is believed that already the school has
the most extensive and best equipped
laboratories in practical Metallurgy in
the country. With the complete samp-
ling works, stamp mills, roasting fur
naces and blast furnaces, the intention
Is to carry on every method of treat
ment of ores, on a scale not usually un-
dertaken. Tests may be made on ores
in quantities varying from few
pounds up to ton-lots, car-lots, or even
mill-runs of 100 tons.
Besides the ordinary metallurgical
experience demanded of engineering
students, practical experimentation In
ore-treatment is to be prominent fea-
ture of the work. Complex ores which
do not separate cleanly and satisfac-
torily, or which do not reduce readily,
or which do not save sufficiently high
percentages may be brought here and
worked by the various methods or run
through different machines or a COM
bination of machines until the required
work is properly done. For these tests
operators may accompany the samples,
or ship them in and have the work done
under expert direction. Practical and
systematic experimentation constantly
go on with the view Of improvement of
methods, devices, and machinery. Par
ticular attention Is given to magnetic
separations In fine, the whole ar
rangement is that of thoroughly prac-
teal and professional metallurgical
laboratory on large scale.
Another very important feature Of
the plan, and one which is very unusual
among educational institutions, is that
when fully organized the school will be
in part self-supporting.
1t is within the past decade that
new branch of higher education has de-
veloped in the Rocky Mountain region
This is the mining school. not that
there are not other mining schools In
other parts Of the country, for there
| are full score of others and older
schools of this character. Mining
| schools of the Rocky Mountains have
something that most other institutions
| where instruction in mining engineer
ing is offered have not. They have a
natural environment which is Of first
(, Importance in every institution, and
without which all practical labor must
be carried on under tremendous diff
culties.
The celebrated mining schools of

SULTAN OF TURKEY IS FOXY.
Has Ordered the immediate Mobilization Of 100000
Truops.

Paris, Feb. 7.-Off1cial advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that the Sultan Of Turkey has or
.dered the immediate mobilization Of
100000 troops for military demonstra-
ton in Macedonia. The steps taken are
regarded with apprehension by the
French officials as being likely to in
volve complications between Turkey
ard Russia and Austria. 1t Is said that
the Russian and Austrian governments
have agreed on firm note to the sultan
which will be presented within the next
few days insisting on administrative
and official reforms in Macedonia. 1t Is
considered that the sultan's mobiliza-
ton Of such an army is clearly an effort
to forestall the presentation of this
note,
