A MERITED HONOR.

Tuesday telegraphic dispatches from the City of Mexico conveyed the intelligence that Don Ramon Corral, formerly governor of Sono- ra. and afterward Ministro de Go- beraacion post corresponding to that of Secretary of the Interior in the American goyernment) had that day been nominated for the newly created post of Vice President of the Republic of Mexico, W hich pleasing intelligence was received with the utmost satisfaction all over the State of Sonora, the people of which great commonwealth idolize the distinguished gentle man, and feel that this new honor which has been conferred on him is fittingly and worthily bestowed while people in Arizona, who know well and thoroughly appreciate the gentleman so honored, were equally pleased and gratifed.
 In accordance with the recently adopted amendment to the consti- ton of the Republic of Mexico
 MT. Corral was nominated for vice president by the Congress on Mon day, the nomination being equlva- lent to election. At Hermosillo, Guaymas, Nogales, Cananea, Ala mos (his native city), and many other places throughout Sonora, the latter day was made one of congratulation and rejoicing; and thousands of congratulatory tele- grams were forwarded to the dis tinguished and brilliant statesman.
 Tn the career of Don Ramon Corral, who will soon step into the second official position in one of the greatest and proudest gov ernments upon the face of earth, there is presented one of the great est glories of republican instltu- tions-the fact that under dem ocratic governments the highest and most dazzling stations are within the reach of the humblest citizens, where they bring to the service of the state ability, wisdom, discretion and capacity. Of ob- scure parentage and humble birth but bearing within his bosom the inextinguishable spark of genius Ramon Corral has steadily ad- vanced though all grades, to the newly created distinguished and lofty position he will soon occupy, in each and every successive station doing his duty faith fully, thoroughly and effectively, with an ambition to exalt and glorify his native state and coun- try, and to elevate the condition of his fellow men. From an humble cerkship in the state government Mir. Corral was successively ele- vated to the posts of secretary of state, vice-governor and governor in all serving the state with rare fidelity, and impressng upon the expanding and growing common wealth the stamp of his own rad
 iant genius. Recognizing the mag nifcent natural resources of his native state of Sonora he bent

of modern civilization some such counterpoise thoughtful men have long recognized, or there would soon come condition of affairs that would be intolerable, but the very civic force which it was hoped would develop into q counterpoise and check against the machinations of organized greed should resort to means so dastardly as employing wholesale slaughter to remove those of their own class who op- pose them and taeir methods, has already precipitated upon { h e other side of the issue a condition equally intolerable. The Ameri- can cannot and will not permit such cruel and wholesale slaughter as that which occurred in the early hours of Monday at the little sta ton of Independence upon the Florence x Cripple Creek Railway, whereby twenty non-union miners, who were wor k n g to break 9 strike, were blown into eternity without warning and as many more were shockingly mangled. The men responsible for that das- tardly deed should be ferreted out and visited with the most severe and condign punishment.

In early life its editor was laboring man, and his sympa- thies have been always and are yet with those who toll with their hands for their daily bread. He has been a member of the Typo graphical Union, and withdrew from that organization only when he became an employer.

A l these things are true; but if in order to carry its ends trades unionism must resort to violence and crime, and push the country perilously close to anarchy, if not over the verge, then will the American people arise in their majesty and trample out trades unionism as they trampled out slavery and secession forty years ago. It was by mobs and violence that those twin mon sters first attacked those who op- posed them. Through quarter of century the adherents of the un- holy cause sought to suppress opp position by violence and crime, Then they went down in blood and fire, before an enraged majesty oi an aroused people.

and encouraged and fostered intro duction of foreign capital, to com pass that greatly desired end. In all the years of his work in Sonora every man. whether native or foreign, who came to contribute to the material advancement and progress of his great native state, found in Don Ramon Corral a warm and helpful friend. Every enterprise which tended to develop the latent material resources of the state or to improve and beautlfy her important towns and cities, re ceived at his hands the most lib- eral and active aid and assistance His work in Identifying and adorn- ing Hermosillo-grading and ma. cadamizlng streets, paving thelr walks, laying out and beautlfying parks and plazas, lighting with electricity, etc..-has made 1t one of the most beau iful and charm ing cities upon the Pacific Coast. His fostering care and protection have materially aided the develop ment of some of the great mining and industrial enterprises in the state. Guaymas. Alamos and other cities were also benefited and inn proved by his attention to details in their development and his re- commendations for adoption there in of modern methods and ap- plisnces.
 Public service so broad, catholic and effective could not be expected to be confined to the limits of a single state, and when his term of office as governor had expired Mir. Corral was transferred to the post of governor of the Federal District, where the great and dazzling inn provemonts being made Tn the capital of the Republic required the service of great constructive genius such as he had manifested. In that newer and broader field, aS was anticipated by those who knew him best, he arose to the height of his supreme opportunity, and performed great service, val uable and enduring in results. Then, several years ago, the gentle man was elevated to the import ant and responsible post men toned herein at the council board of President Diaz, which post he vacates to fill the newly created office where he will be next in direct succession of the time, ready and capable and worthy of stepping into the exalted station that great man has so heroically filled more than a quarter of century, should the inhrmities of age call him from the cares and duties of this world.
 In this advancement of Don Ramon to the vice presidency of the Republic, an advancement which his friends believe presages his later elevation to the presidency itself, the friends of progress throughout the Republic and throughout the world. see the clearest and most indubitable assurance that Mexico has reached a firm and stable foundation that will be in no way shaken when the inexorable hand of fate shall remove the firm hand which has through the past quar- ter century controlled and nodded her destiny All hail to Ramon Corral.

Bringing LeweIIyn Back.

Denver, Nov 16.-Chief of Police De-
laney has produced evidence before the
Illinois State Board of Pardons which
has convinced the board that the con-
vict. John Mahran. should be sent to
this city to stand trial for the killing
of Policemen William Griffiths and
Thomas Clifford.
The chief and others who investi-
gated the case are convinced that NAH
ran is Wellington c. Llewellyn. the SOL
der who committed the atrocious mur-
ders.
The board OF pardons met Monday
night at Joliet prison, and at that time
Chief Delaney and Detective George
Sanders were present with proof that
the convicted horse thief. Mahran. is
the murderer Llewellyn.
The board, after hearing the evil
dence. decided to parole the convict.
Mayor Speer received the following tel
egram from Chief Delaney yesterday:

Pension Commissioner Resigns.

Washington, Nov. 16. - Commits.
sioner of Pensions Ware has rendered
his resignation to the President and
it was accepted to take effect Janu-
ary 1st.
Commissioner Ware refused to dis
cuss his action in any way except to
state that the newspapers of the coun-
try had been ''resigning" him for the
past two years.
For at least one year, however, 1t
has been definitely known that Mr..
Ware would retire from his office soon
after the fall elections and return to
his home in Kansas to resume his law
practice. 1t is believed here that
Commissioner Wares action was not
due to any suggestion that the sever
ance of his relations with the pension
office would be agreeable to the Pres
ident. On the contrary. it has been
no secret that Commissioner Ware,
soon after assuming the position.
found the duties of his Office distaste-
full to him and that this distaste stead
lily increased.
There is no intimation as to who
his successor will be.

WARTOCONTINUE
RUSSIA DOES NOT SEEK PEACE
and Is Prepared to Fight to the
Bitter End.

Washington, Nov. 16.-"Russia will
pursue the war in the far East to the
bitter end; that is, until Russia has
conquered"
These are the opening words of an
emphatic statement made at the Rus.
sian embassy by Count Cassini, the
Russian ambassador.
Several times recently the ambassa-
dor, in the name of his government,
has categorically denied the POSSIBLE
ity of any Intervention in the war,
but the recurrence of rumors that the
powers contemplated mediation has
caused the ambassador to reiterate on
behalf of his government its position
regarding intervention or mediation
of any kind. The statement contin-
ues:
Il deem it my duty to reiterate what
l have SO often said. that Russia will
not suspend in any case her military
operations in the far East All rumors
and reports regarding the possible sue
cess of the direct overtures for peace
which Japan is said to have made to
Russia, and regarding the mediation of
the powers, in my opinion, are started
for the purpose of convincing the pub
lie that the end Of the war is close at
hand. In this way it is hoped the pub
lie may be led to believe that Japanese
loans offer attractive investments.
Russia can no more admit Of in
reference than Great Britain could in
the Transvaal or could the United
States in her war with Spain. Where
the prestige of country is at stake
all other considerations are and must
be put aside. Some people may think
that financial difficulties will influence
Russia to end hostilities. Such an
opinion is based on the false assump-
titon of Russia's financial resources.
There is no doubt whatever that
Russia, whose annual income exceeds
one milliard Of dollars. can not be in
fiuenced in her attitude toward the
outcome of the war by the amount of
war expenditures. Is it not alto
gether out of the question that Rus
sia, who did not expect war, should
in the moment when she has mobil-
lied her army and is sending corps
after corps in fighting readiness to the
far East. suddenly call halt on hos
tilities, particularly after she has for
nearly a year, without any difficulty
or recourse to extraordinary measures,
been able to carry all the extra ex-

Army Statistics.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Gen F. C. Ainsworth. the
military secrtary of the army, the first

ton by Congress at its last session,

officers and 6S,946 enlisted men The
loss of officers from death, dismissal.
retirement and other causes was 155.
The number Of enlisted men lost by
death was 456.
A reduction in the number OF mala-
nal fever cases at West Point is at
tributed to an attack made on the
mosquitoes.
Speaking of the militia. It Is said
that very satisfactory progress has
been made toward bringing the organ
lied militia, respecting armament,
equipment and discipline, up to the
standard OF the regular army. A total
of 6,966 officers and S3,102 enlisted
men Of the militia organizations were
present at the inspections.
Referring to the act of Congress pro
viding for a roster of officers and en-.
listed men Of the Union and confed-
crate armies, the report says that the
responses of the governors addresses
inviting their cooperation have been
such as to assure the department that
they fully appreciate the Importance
OF the work and will cooperate heart
lily with the department in its Efforts
to give the confederate soldier the
place that is due him In the proposed

NEWS FROM THE MINES AND MILLS

Malta as al experimental project for
reducing the ores of the Homestake
The following winter the manager on
starting up the works found himself
badly in need of lead ores to facilitate
the ores OF the Homestake and was
persuaded by Mr. Stevens to try the
mineral then lying on the dump OF the
Rock mine, which he did with highly
satisfactory results. He then pur-
chased few tons at $50 each and
smelted 1t with other ores. This was
the actual beginning of the smelling
industry which in process of time be-
came enlarged to vast proportions in
that section of the Arkansas valley,
and the inception of legitimate mining
there.
The Stone, Rock and Dome. three
claims comprising ten acres each, have
produced up to this time over $500, 900.
The possibilities of the future which,
according to recent disclosures, are al
most immeasurable, lie in the second
and third contacts. Thus far all the
ore has come from the upper contact
between the blue lime and the por-
phyry. Diamond drill holes, a rapid
and sure means of prospecting depths
that has been, more widely adopted in
Leadville than elsewhere, have shown
that the largest and richest deposits
yet found lie under the old slopes and
the parting quartzite replacing the
white lime. and are frequently 200 feet
in thickness. There is no telling what
the recent disclosures by diamond drill
may bring forth as the work proceeds,
but enough is now definitely known to
found the prediction upon that the
miners up there are only at the be-
ginning OF the unexampled mineral re-
