A NEW MEXICAN STATEHOOD
 ELECTION.

It is bv no means certain that New Mexico would not reject joint state. hood whether the question were sub mittcd separately or jointly. \ contrib utor to the Las Vegas Optic has been resurrectng ancient election figures, among them those on the vote on q state constitution in lsgO. when it was believed that the territory was about io be offered single statehood. At the election 23, 673 votes were cast. 1,i93 for statehood and I6.ls0 against. The Optic says further of this election,
 "The vote called out is also quite in teresting in view of the possibility of such an election being held in the near future. for while this election only called out 23.O00 votes. the general election held just exactly month lat. cr brought out 32,0OO votes. which in a way proves the oft.asscrtcd belief that on a question of statehood the full vote of the territory will not be brought out unlcss htId at a regular general election.
 "lt is interesting to note that at this open election. what are called the Mexican counties. San Miguel. Berna. lilo. Mora. santa Fc and Taos, gave heavy maporities. more than three. fourths against the constitution. while but two counties in the entire territory gave a majority in favor of the consti' tu,ion-Grant and Valencia
 IL is true that sixteen years have elapsed since this overwhelming defeat of n statehood proposition. In some communities great change of ssnti. mcnt might be wrought within such n period. but there is reason to believe that in those so.called Mexican coun. ties there has been little change on the statehood question.
 We have observed that while there has been great deal of joint state hood noise in New Mexico, it has been found to proceed almost entirely from within the corporate limits of Albu. querque. -Phoeniv Republican.

Editorial Comment

shall have fully digcstcd the report of his commissioners, and gradually pre-. pared his people for the new order of things. It is not intimatcd that this change in Chinese home affairs is to be anything sudden. Ten or twelve years is put as the earliest at which consti. tuition is to he announced This does not sound precipitate nor yet very dil. atory when one comes to think of it. 4 dozen years is not long in the life of n nation, and if the Emperor of China really eontemplates divesting himself of absolute power and working out n cons. stitution for his country based on the report of his two commissions that are now studying Europe, and the United States. then decade Is a reasonable enough time in which to do it. It will take longer than that to educate the Chinese people up to the proper use of even a decidedly restricted franchise, and it would look to the out sider as though the Emperor were going about his self-appoinsea task in a strikingly commonscnse way. One can easily say that a constitution of the right sort would be the making of China. She is the looscst sort of confederation in her present form, and the sense of na. tional security and of patriotism in her people is to western mind, euri' ously wanting. But one can easily conceive how n moderately planned con s,itution would tighten up the national bands, and make the Great Sloth among nations play very much more import ant part than she has hitherto done. There are one or two things in the way of this constitutional Utopia. One would be enough, and that is that the Empress Dowager is ruling to an in tents and purposes, and if the eonstitu' tional idea does not happen to meet with her approval. the Son of Heaven may die some summer as kipling says "of cholera the white arsenic sort.'

(From Tuesday Dsily.)

Recent developments in the tunnel being run by the Gold King Mining company in its properties ID the Brad. shaw mountains justify the hope m the minds of those who are interested in i' as well as mining men who have examined its underground workings, that ere long i, will rank among the many wealth producers Of this see. tion.
 From Attorney Reese N. Ling who returned yesterday from that section it was learned that the tunnel was now into the mountain distance of go feet, and that n vein had been opened up and explored for a distance of 60 feet. which exposed ledge I2 feet in width, which the management had satisfied itself by many scientific tests from samples taken could be mined and millea at a handsome pron,
 Work on this tunnel has been in progress for some time. In it's eours. it has tapped five veins of free milling gold ore. all of which sample well. The company is at presen, conanine its operations to the pushing ahead of the tunnel. which will tap the vein a, the end line of the properties at depth of 500 feet.
 A new air compressor has been o,. dered, which will be installed on the ground as soon as delivered, and other improvements of permanent nature are being made for the dumping of the ore when taken out, SO that it can be economically handled when a mill. which 1t is the intention of the com pany to later erect. is built.
 The topography of the ground is such that in the last 70 feet of tunnel run a gain in depth was made from 25o to 300 feet, and the place now being opened is so steep that the gain in depth in almost equal to the distance run in the tunnel.

(From Tuesdays Daily.>

The Pine Mountain company has made a shipment of bullion to Pres. colt. The cleanup of the mill was very good for the month, the concen. trates being sent to Humboldt smelter.
 Water level has been reached in the shaft on the Midget mine, and a good grade of sulphide or found.
 The strike of ore in the Poorman mine is improving, and the vein has now widened to two feet with a high grade of sulphide.
 The old shelton mine is now produc. ing more ore than the ten stamp mill of the company can handle. the stopes in the mine are blocked with ore ready to hoist. This will be the case with this old producer until the new mill is in operation.
 Work on the Helwick tunnel is going right along as fast as the electric ma. chine can break ground, the vein of the Eureka mine should be cut in a few days with this tunnel.
 The Favorite mine, more familiarly known as the "Mud Hole," will soon be operated again. A new shaft will be sunk on the south end of the claim. The company who own this mine also own the famous Octave mine. When the "Mud Hole" is working again, the boom will come.
 The Milliken group of mines, four in number, have been sampled by an expert for n Denver company. This group of mines will in the near future be the largest producer in the camp. The position and location of this group make them the best in camp for "a tunnel proposition, the most economi. cal way to operate mine.
 The Homestead mine is another pro. persy that is looking well for the flu. tnre. There is no question about the ore 'n this mine, it is a producer. It is

MORE OPERA

We have something good for those
interested in the erection Of a large
hardware store and opera house,
which we hope to be allowed to tell
pretty soon. The right man, the man
who does things, has become inter-
ested and in our opinion something
will be done Immediately towards the
erection of the much talked of store
and opera house building.
Positively, if you want to get in on
the ground floor you had better get a
move on yourself. Several very lib
eral offers have been made by parties
owning desirable sites for the build
ing, to take the value of the site in
stock in a corporation or purchase a
partnership in the investment. We
are not at liberty to state positively
the moves at present being made, but
suffice it to say, there is a trump card
up the sleeve of one gentleman in the
city, who is not afraid to turn a dol
lar loose.

PHOSPHATE
SHIPMENTS.

The following may be of interest to
many readers of the Herald. the estI.
mate being conservative: There were
loaded in the local yards here, the first
week In March PSI cars of phtsphata
rock, the average weight of each car
being about 2715 long tons or a total
of over 1000 long tons for the week
These figures are about 2596 below
what they ought to he, to represent
the average for the year. but at 81. so
per ton the railroad revenue from these
shipments for the week would amount
To ST. 500. 90 or 1910, 10000 per year.
The price received by the shippers will
average ut least So so per ton and the
amount for the week would be S26,.
600 90 or at the rate of 81, 1888 200 90
per year. These figures are much less
than the average for the year, but we
are not ashamed OF them.

TRUTH.

What is truth that through the ages
man should rifle earth and star
Seeking ever in the unknown where
its mystic fountains are.
For the law of righteous living, for the
love that shall not die.
While the soul has aspirations to be
glorif1ed on high?
What is truth that in the distance,
it should blaze with holy light,
Beating back the hosts of darkness in
the worlds enfolding night.
Making man a nobler creature, giving
states a wiser aim,
Giving virtue, knowledge, valor, each
a bright, immortal name?
Lo, the world is ever changing, and
the new is ever old,
And who fights with human progress
is warrior OVERLOAD;
And the truth is what we make it
by the light of that great love
Which forever lifts the planet toward
the singing stars above.
Truth is simple as the sermons nature
tells us on our way.
Gentle as the thought of brothers
who were parted yesterday;
It is plain as honest facts that be-
token hearts so kind,
They are hands unto the weary, see
ing eyes unto the blind;
t is beautiful as morning when the
world awakes to joy.
md LIES golden expectations thrill
the eager heart of boy;
is lasting as the cliff rock that for
ever fronts the sea,
asting as the ocean waters that shall
wash the cliff rock free;
nd though it wrings emotion from
the life that suffers long; =
hough it girds the loins of labor for
the battle fierce and strong;
ruth is ever what we make it in the
light of love and peace. Y
clip and hope unto the toiling who
would give the soul increase! u
