REUNION ECHOES.

The Galena Times man has had a
terrible case of bellyache, az is ev.
idenced by his criticisms of the re-
sent reunion. But the Galena Times
man is comparatively new in this
section, and his shortcomings must
be overlooked. BY way of contrast,
following are a'couple of criticisms:
The Galena Times few days ago
had a long double.column large
type editorial denouncing in severe
language the Baxter Syringe reun.
ion, characterizing il with every
epithet il could command as vul-
gar and immoral place. We were
deprived of the experience of visit
ing the reunion, but many of our
best citizens were there who tell us
they had delightful time with the
most agreeable surroundings, that
there was nothing within their
sight to criticise and they give the
management unstinted praise for
the manner in which il was con-
Quoted. Rev. John r. Wright, pas
tor of the Columbus Baptist church
and a man for whom we have a
strong respect and friendship, tells
us he believes the reunion was as
free from vice as is possible to have
an assembly of such numbers could
be. Here is what Rev. Wright per-
mits us to quote him as saying, he
having seen our comments on his
remarks: II have been greatly sur.
prised to see in public print such
adverse criticisms on the Baxter re.
union. am in position to say
that these references are not well
founded. 1t has pleased me to re-
mark on several occasions, since
my visit TO the reunion that il
would be very difficult to get to-
gether so large crowd in any place
and at the same time preserve such
good order. The objectionab bic class
seemed to be almost entirely elm
mated. To me this was remarka BILE
far better than we usually find."-

SMELLING PLANT
To be Built For Treatment Of Ores
Mined by Luna Lead Company.
Hay be In DeminR.

Ralph c. Ely, and family returned
last Saturday from the east and have
secured a house and taken up their
residence in reming,
While away Mr.. Ely organized a
company, to be known as the Luna
Lead company with large capital for
the purpose of mining and treating lead
ores in this region. The officers of the
company are; S. r. Bush of Easton Po.
President; William X. Couch Of New
York, Vice President; j. T. Duryea of
New York, Treasurer; while Mr.. Ely
is secretary and general manager.
The company now owns extensive
mining properties in various portions Of
the Southwest and it is the entention
to develop these and build a smelter for
the treatment of the ores The site
for the smelter has not yet been deter
mined, but We understand there are
four places being considered, Deming
being one Of them, and there is little
doubt we can get it if our people will
get to work snd offer the company
proper inducements to place it here.
Mr.. Ely informs us that the inten-
ton is to build a small smelter for the
treatment of ore mined by the company
but if people owning lead mines in this
region wish to give sufficient guarantee
of Gus ON ores a sufficient capacity for
treating these also, will be built.

THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEXICO.

1t is a most satisfactory picture Of
conditions in Mexico which is drawn by
United States Consul General Hanna
in a report which the state department
has just issued. Indeed, in the opinion
Of the Washington Post, unless Mr..
Hanna is too optamistic, Mexico has
entered upon an era of such suhstan-
tial prosperity as to excite not only our
admiration, but, possibly, our national
concern. II is a matter of consider
able Importance to American manu-
facturers, for instance, to know that
the new steel plant at Monterey is now
rolling out steel rails, the first ever
produced south Of the Rio Grande;
that structural iron is being manufac-
tured in large quantities, and that the
mountains Of Mexico contain iron ore
in such unlimited store as to insure the
raw material for iron and steel pro-
ducts for centuries to come. Nor is
the development of Mexico confined to
this all-important industry. Coal
and oil have been discovered in large
quantities, affording abundance of fuel
and assuring to Mexico a commercial
independence which the United States
cannot afford to ignore.
Material development cannot, how
ever, go hand in hand with political
unrest and instability in government
1t is, therefore, matter of some i'm
portance to note that Consul Hanna s
presentation of the political conditions
is fully as roseate as his picture of com
mercial progress. He laughs to scorn
the rumors that the government is a
frail structure, which will topple and
fall as soon as President Diaz reln-
quishes control. There is no more of
the spirit Of revolution in Mexico to-
day" he asserts, than there is in the
United States" and he adds that the
spirit which existed some years ago has
entirely disappeared, The people, he
says, are following closely the develop
ment of the natural rich resources of
Mexico, and have tasted the reward Of
their labors. "The sons Of once poor
mem he asserts have become wealthy.
Good schools, good homes, and golden
opportunities for the future stand out
prominently before the people as in
ducements for them to continue along
the present peaceful lines of commerce
Having had taste for the last twenty
five years Of the benefits of CONNER
cial prosperity, there is no disposition
among the people of Mexico to return
to revolution and contention. " If this
be true, and Mr.. Hanna speaks with
the confidence of one having authority
we can readily believe him when he
says that Mexico no longer depends up
on one man.

This shut on the hre and rendered IL
possible for the firemen to get into
this part of the building. which be-.
came free from smoke, and they were
thus enabled to keep back the tire
from invading tho senate chamber.
1t was shortly after noon, when the
fate of the building seemed 10 hang in
the balance State Architect Liebbe
made up his mind that the building
was doomed, and advised that all the
ofaces be emptied of their contents.
Chief Burnett was Of the same opin-
ion, and Governor Cummins became
discouraged.
The work of dismantling the offices
set in at once. Governor Cummins
called for volunteers to help save the
valuable library books, while others
+, assisted in taking the documents from
the other rooms. ....
The removal of the funds OF the
interest. The state Is supposed to
have a considerable sum on hand and
just what preparations would be made
to guard the funds, was a subject OF
curiosity. State Treasurer Gilbertson
! answered the question by clever
coup d'etat. He had the wagon drive
up to the building and gave it out that
books and documents would be car
ried in It, Instead OF books, there
were bags containing SIS, 900 in money.
Six or seven men got onto the wagon
to take charge of the books" and
they were taken to the Capltal City

In the office of the state, auditor,

ing to $12,000,000. These were placed
in trunks which were ensconced IN
the vault, ready for removal at the
first notice. Fortunately, the neces.
sity never arrived.
All of the furniture in the govern
or's Office was taken out and removed.
The attorney generals office was
drenched by the water which came
down from above. and last night the
Office was moved into the adjutant
generals Office, where it will remain
until the damage is repaired.
II feel certain" said Governor Cum
minis last night, that the responsible.
ity for the fire rests with one OF the
two bodies OF workmen who were EN-.
ployed about the building. 1t was
caused either by some Of the electrical
workers or by some of the workmen
employed under Custodian McCurdy.
would not want to direct suspicion
to either one OF them now, but it
seems the responsibility rests with
someone from one OF these two groups.
l shall order an Investigation imme.
diately."
&. Des Moines, JAN Ex-Governor Cum.
Minis and the executive council, con.
sisting of the governor, Secretary OF
State Martin, Auditor OF State Car
roll and State Treasurer Gilbertson
inaugurated an investigation into the
origin of the fire at the state house
Monday afternoon.
The investigation did not fix the
responsibility, but discovered that
an electrical worker was in the duct
in committee room No. 5, in which
the fire started, Monday forenoon.
1t was also developed that the cleo
trical worker, Frazie by name, had a
