BARRED FROM THE U. 5. MAILS.
Mining SwindIers Taken in Hand by the
 P0stOffice Department.

The fake mining promoters of Ari- Idaho and Montana are beginning to draw in their horns and prepareing to hie to pastures new.
 President Roosevelt has been ar oused by reports of their operations and instructions are being issued to the postal authorities which will ef' fectively put these gentry out of bus mess.
 A plan has been formulated when will send these promoters to the penl- tentiary unless every investor gets his due. Postoffice inspectors in the West and Southwest are receiving blanks from Washington which will be sent to mining companies to fill in and the answers to the questions on the blanks will put the promoters dis tinctly under Uncle Sam's notice.
 The trouble heretofore in convicting these fake promoters has been that evidence was lacking. Their victims seldom invested more than $5 or SlO and did not care to go on the stand as witnesses for so small an amount. The thinning business has been con- ducted in such a way for the past few years that any one could use the mails, but from now on a business which is not bona fide will be detect ed and those behind it brought to | justice in short order.
 Fraud orders will be issued by all postmasters against those concerns which look suspicious and these will be followed by rigid investigation which will lead to prison unless those indicted can clear themselves.

 No Trouble to Answer Questions
The copper era., 1906-01-18

Judge Doan has decided that a gambling debt cannot be collected by law. The case was brought by J. R. Tate of Douglas against Peter Johnson of Bisbee, for S17OO. The question involved was whether or not debt had been contracted. The court held that no money Considera- tion had passed between the parties, and therefore there was no debt, that Johnson had received faro chips or checks for his bank checks, therefore and as a consequence there was no debt. This case has attracted a good deal of attention in southern Ari- zona. The decision would seem to be in effect that the intrinsic value of the checks was the only value, and as the checks were returned to the dealer no liability had been created. The decision is the same as in other similar cases, except that Judge Doan has arrived at it from a different point of reasoning.

Another Biz Gold Excitement in Nevada.

One day a mountain valley, with twenty inhabitants, in week pull sating mining camp of 4000 people that is the story of Manhattan, eigh- ty miles northeast of Goldfield. The streets of Goldfield are deserted. A low estimate places the exodus to the new fields from Goldfield alone at 200O souls. Two hundred dollars day has been offered for automobiles by those anxious to reach the camp in hurry.
 Hundreds of teams line the two roads to the latest camp. Yesterday the crowded stage tipped over and killed the driver and slightly injured several passengers. The life at the new camp is strenuous. There is no law or order.
 The tremendous surface finds have made men hysterical. Lots, jumped in price from s25 to S35O0. Meals are away up. A bath in a round tin tub Home Trade Builds Up a Community.
 The following from The Portales Times Units the nail on the head" and indirectly applies more or less to every town in New Mexico:
 "Over ninety postoffice orders were sold in Portales last week. Pre- sumably most of these went to mail order houses. Not one cent of this money will eyer return, however, it is about an equal thing when the farmer sends to Sears-Roebuck & Go. for his merchandise and a merchant sends to St. Louis for his printing. Neither is a good business principle and usually, neither gets what he wanted"
 It shows bad state of affairs and should be stopped. New Mexico mer- chants should endeavor to keep varied and good stocks of goods which they should sell at reasonable prices, and residents and citizens of the terri tory should patronize home mer- chants and home mercantile estab- lishments. In this matter "one hand must wash the other" This is a homely adage, but to the point. The more home trade there is the better will it be for all concerned and the more profitable will it prove in the long ruu.

 Forty leases are saking ore. The excitement at Goldfield was caused by w. F. Bond coming into camp with samples glittering with gold. Select ed specimens assayed S18O,OOO. The first property sold to-day for s5O,OOO cash on its surface showings.
 Manhattan is poor mans camp. The gold is free and is obtained on the surface with little work. The greatest showing of free gold ever found in Nevada is credited to this camp. It is not known whether the values continue to any depth, but Golfield, Tonopah and Bullfrog have been deserted by the entire surplus mining population.

Turn the RascaIs Out.

The following from the revelations before the Armstrong Commlttee' which has been Investigating the do- ings of the New York Life, the Nu- tual Life and other insurance con- panies will be read with interest,"
 That the New York Life, Mutual Life. and other insurance companies contributed large sums to campaign | funds. both state and national.
 That the New York Life paid in all | s476, ,927.O2 to Andrew Hamilton, chief legislative agent of the con- pany, in charge of insurance Hobbies.
 That clerks of the New York Life, drawing salaries of $500 year, acted as "dummy" borrowers of millions of dollars to cover up stock transactions with a trust company.
 That George w. Perkins sold SSOO,- 900 of marine stock to J. P. Morgan & Company, on December 31, 1903, and bought it back January ?, 1904, to deceive the state superintendent of insurance.
 That every member but one of the Mutual Life finance committee was a stockholder in the Morton Trust company, with which the company transacted most of its deals.
 That members of the McCurdy family got B, 697, ,453 from the Mutual Life in ten years; that Robert H. McCurdy's personal income was S1,- 764, ,622 52 in twenty years, while that of his brother-in-law, Louis A. The baud, was S932, ,S71 30 in twelve years. Richard A. McCurdy's salary as prisi- dent of the company was S15O,OOO a year.
 That many officials of insurance companies received commissions, or rebates, on their personal life insur- ance policies, amounting to a gigan- tic total.
 That United States Senator Depew knew of the political contributions, received a retainer from the Equit- able, and was engaged in several syndicate transactions.
 New York people have raised pro- test against Senators Platt and De pew holding their seats, and many rumors of their intended resigna tions have been heard.
 Numerous states have started movements for more rigorous insur- ance laws, while several bills have been introduced into congress pro- viding for the federal control of in- surance.
 The sums taken by the officers of those companies and their friends are startling to men who have to work for every dollar they receive. The committee has been anxiously wait ing for the appearance of David B. Hill, who is suspected of being one of the largest benefciaries of the "Mutual," but he is caged in Vol } fert's Boost, where he cannot be seen. It is given out daily that he is ) too sick to be seen but it is shrewdly suspected that the cause of his al- , legged sickness grows out of the de sire of said committee and his own reluctance to oblige that committee ) It is much to be regretted that such ; leading republicans as Chauncy De !; pew and Senator Platt his colleague are so badly mixed up with this dis ; reputable affair; but the New Mexi- can believes in the old fashioned Grant doctrine, "Let no guilty man escape" and it should not make any difference whether or not that man is democrat or republican, the same rule should be applied. It is to be hoped that state legislatures and con- gress will enact such laws as will render such fragrant dishonesty inn possible in future.-New Mexican.

ICE COATING FOR WARMTH
Fruit Cars Covered with Sheet Of
Frozen Water to Preserve
Contents.

The use Of ice for heating purposes
Is one Of the oddities Of our modern civ
lliZation- 1t often happens that a train
carrying fruit from South America to
the northern states encounters a spell
OF cold weather en- route. II the tenn
perature goes below a certain point the
perishable merchandise will be ruined.
But it has been ascertained that such
misfortune may be prevented by cover
ing the fruit car with a coating of ice
a thing easily accomplished by turning
hose upon it and allowing the water TO
freeze, until the whole vehicle is envei-
oped In CLASSY and glittering blanket.
1t may, indeed, be appropriately
called blanket, inasmuch as 1t prevents
the radiation Of heat from the interior Of
the car. The ice being a good non-con-
ductor, the warmth is retained, and the
fruit, or possibly it may be vegetables,
goes on its way unspoiled even by zero
weather.
Some trucks used for transporting
oranges are often fitted with ice
stoves" which, while useful during hot
weather as refrigerators, are filed with
Ice during the cold weather.
