Mr.. MARTIN IS HOME AGAIN
Albuquerque Citizen Speaks of His
Speech Making Powers in
English and Spanish.

The Albuquerque Citizen of a
few days ago contained the fol-
lowing interesting item concern
ing one of Socorro's popular citi-
zens:
wv. f. Martin, familiarly
known as Billy" Martin, who
has been at Santa Fe for the past
two weeks, for the benefit of his
health, which has suffered Sc
verely on account of overwork,
passed through Albuquerque to-
day accompanied BY Mrs. Mar
tin, en- route to his home in So
corro. Mr.. Martin is clerk of the
district court at Socorro.
His chief claim to fame, how
ever, is that he is known in
every corner of the territory be-
cause of his ability as a speech
maker in either English or Span
ish. He is one of the ablest
Spanish speakers in the territory
and popular among the native
people.
Mr.. Martin was chief clerk
of the senate in the last legisla-
ture and has been connected in
an official capacity with nearly
every Legislature for a number of
years.
While interpreting in Span
ish, a speech made by a member
of the last legislature, one day,
Mr.. Martin used his powers of
oratory so we'll that the member,
after he had concluded, turned to
him and said;
Say, Billy-who was making
that speech-you or me? think
you made the best speech
Mr.. Martin will return to AL
buquerque shortly en- route east
where he goes on official business
and for the benefit of his health. -

SCHOOL OF MINES NOTES
Examinations Have Boen on This
Week at Close of First Half
Year.

E. M. Carter has joined the
Silver City delegation in attend
arce at the School. The young
man has been in attendance at
the Staunton, Virginia, military
institute for the past two years.
That tired feeling that has
come over all students this week
is due to the fact that the mid
year examinations have been in
progress. The attack is not
likely to prove serious in any
case.
The dance given last night by
the students in return for the one
given by President Noble at the
beginning of the year was quite
well attended and very much en-
joyed.
Registration was completed
yesterday, classes were organiz-
ed, assignments were made, and
everything is now in readiness
for beginning work promptly at
eight o'clock Monday morning,
the beginning of the second
semester.

Vote in the House.

Secretary Taft is the prefer
ence of nearly one-half of the
entire Republican membership of
the House of Representatives. for
the Presidency by the national
convention, according to a poll
completed yesterday by the
Washington Post.
OF the 22l Republicans in the
House, not counting the Speaker,
the views of 1S6 were aScertaiued.
Fifteen were interviewed, but
were noncommittal. Twenty
could not be seen because of i'll
ness or absence from the city.
Nearly all expressed their indi-
vidual preference, with the un-
derstanding that it should not be
made public, except in such
way as would not reveal their
identity. Some, however, did
not hesitate to express their
views for publication.
FEW HAVE SECOND CHOICE.
The vote was taken by a rep
resentative of the Post, who
checked off the name of each
member after he had received an
answer TO the following ques-
tion: What candidate do you in
dividually prefer today as the
Republican nominee for the Pres
idency?" In most cases the
member replied that he was
first, last and all the time" for
his choice; therefore, an attempt
to secure the second and third
choice of any large number of the
members was not considered fea-
sible. OF those who did express
a second choice the result was
among the Taft adherents, in fa-
vor of Hughes, and, among other
candidates, besides Hughes, in
favor of the Speaker.
Should each State vote in the
Chicago convention as the prefer
ence OF a majority of its Repre-
sentatives in the House indicate,
eliminating Arkansas, Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisi-
ana, North Carolina, South Caro-
ina, Texas and Mississippi, which
have no Republican Representa-
tives, the vote in the convention
on the first ballot would result as
follows:

THE MAN NOW IN THE LEAD
According to Recent Poll of House of Representa-
tives, the War Secretary Eias Long Lead over
All Competing Candidates for the Republican
Nomination for the Presidency.

6S; hughes, s; La Toilette, 20;
Fairbanks, "a and the balance
/ doubtful. Counting for Tat the
States eliminated, because of
lack OF representation on the Re-
publican side of the House, the
total for him would be 55S.
Delaware, Montana, North Da-
kota, Oklahoma, South Dakota,
Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Wyom-
ing and Virginia have but one or
two Representatives in the House.
Therefore, to indicate how those
States Individually stand would
be to violate the confidence inn
posed by their representatives.
However, it may be said that
considerable more than a major
ity from these States are for the
Secretary of War. In those
States Taft received eleven votes,
Cannon two and Fairbanks one.
Judging from the poll of MEM
berS of the House, it is appa-
rent that Secretary Taft has
gained an important advantage
III the Presidential race. Many
adherents, not only of Mr.. Taft,
but his opponents, said that Frank
II. Hitchcock, First Assistant
Postmaster General, had been in
no small measure responsible for
this, because of the belief that
Secretary Taft had secured his
cooperation not only in an effort
to bring the South into line, but
also TO secure delegates in other
parts of the country. But, more
than all, they were for Secretary
Taft Tor the following reasons:

lie is the strongest man out
side the President that we can
nominate.
He has had an exceptional
experience in national life, and is
well fitted, both by disposition
and training, for the Office of
Chief Magistrate.
"Ite is a big, broad-gauged
man, who stands for efficiency
and progress, and would, if
elected, carry out the policies of
President Roosevelt, at the same
time being his own President.
This is no time to go back
ward; l am for the man the
President believes capable of car
rying out his work"
Arguments made against the
Secretary were that he has an
tagonized the labor unions," that
the negro vote in the North will
be against him." and that the
negro vote in the north will be
against him." and that "the
President should not dictate his
own successor"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused bv Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surface.

from Illinois. They are not with
him for merely political reasons;
they have a genuine affection for
him. Outside of his State those
most ardent in his support are
those who have long been assoc
ciated with him in the House.
Every one of them is an enlhu-
SiaSt.
This is a typical interview with

There are some in the House
whu declare that their preference
would bc l,r Uncle joe" bul
that eventually they would have
to be with Mr.. Taft, because of
the overwhelming sentiment for
him in their respective States.
Others declare that while in the
House it would be best for them
not to be quoted, but, confideu-
TALLY, they were for Secretary
Taft. 1t has often been said that
if the election of a President
were left to the House of Repre-
sentatives, Uncle Joe" Cannon
would be the man, but it is now
likely that he would be the nomi-
nee of his party if it were left to
the members of his party in the
House.
The Hughes strength in the
House amounts to almost moth
ing. Three are from New Eng
land and one from California.
The balance are confined to his
own State, and they are very
few. Those who expressed a
preference for the governor of
New York declared he had made
a splendid governor and would
make an excellent President.
They based their hopes of his
nomination on a deadlock in the
Chicago convention. Others were
more skeptical, declaring the
party should not think of nJmi-
mating a mystery" and that the
governor would have to declare
himself on national issues before
he could hope to gain much sup
port from other States.

Militia Can Now Have Strong Guns.

Acting Secretary Oliver made the
important announcement that the
war department was at last in posi-
ton to completely arm the organized
militia of the country, 100000 strong
with new high-power army rifle or
musket. The weapon is officially
known as "Model 1903, rechambered
for ammunition of 1906. The distin-
gushing feature of which is a new
sharply pointed light steel clad bull
let with enormous range and fiat ira
jectory. The governors of states
may have the new rifles for the
militia upon requisition and turning
in the Krag-Jorgensen guns of the
type used in the Spanish-American
army.
Completion of this stock of arms
will not close the great manufactur-
ing armories, but they will be fully
employed for a long time in making
a stock of new rifles to be held in re-
serve for the purpose of arming any
volunteer army that may be called
into the field in the future.

COchise Poor Farm on Warren Ranch.

The first step in the matter of
securing a site for a Cochise county
poor farm at the Warren ranch, near
Bisbee, was considered by the board
of supervisors in session at Tombstone
when a proposition was presented by
n. A. Smith and Attorney S. E. Haz-
zard for the Warren Ranch company,
offering forty acres of the Warren
place for the purposes of a county
hospital and poor farm.
The conditions named, which are
lengthy, embrace many clauses, the
county being pledged to pay $500 for
the water rights, also to erect hospi-
tai and buildings at cost of not less
than $4,000, also to sink well for
domestic use and fire protection, with
tanks seventy-fve feet high, and
furnish the Warren company water
to the amount of 1000 gallons daily,
with the privilege of 5000 gallons
more at % cents per 1000 gallons. In
return the company will donate the
land and give an equivalent amount
of water now used or. their holdings
tie $500 consideration being regard
ed as pro rata cost of the fiume anC
water rights.
The matter wis laid over until the
next meeting, when the legal aspect
will be inquired into and modifica
tions offered.
It is understood that an inquiry
will also be made into the merits o
the Boston millsite on the San Pedro
between Charleston and Fairbank
where the question of water rights il
not so precarious and its advantage
considered.
The cloud upon the title to tht
land offered by Colonel Greene ha
caused the board to cast about TO
other locations for a poor farm, ant
it appears the matter will shortly b,
decided upon.

RULING ON MINERAL LANDS.
Bill Pending to Allow Claims to be Taken
Up In Reservations.

If bill now pending in congress,
which is referred to in a letter re-
ceived at Governor Kibbey's office
from Francis E. Leupp, commissioner
of Indian affairs, passes all the min
eral lands in the Indian reservations
will be thrown open to leasers.
Leupp's letter to Kibbey, while it
brings displeasing news to Arizonans
who hold mining claims in the Colo
RADIO Indian reservation, indicates
that they will not be deprived of
their rights should the pending bill
pass congress.
Recently mining men who hold
claims in 100 square miles of terri
tory aided by President Roosevelt's
proclamation to the Colorado reser-
walton, petitioned Secretary of the
Interior Garfield, through Governor
Kibbey, for redress.
They set forth that their mineral
claims had been included in the
reservation subsequent to Roosevelt's
proclamation, and that if nothing
was done in their behalf, they would
be deprived of their rights.
Garfield referred the petition to
Commissioner Leupp, who has been
in Arizona and is well acquainted with
the conditions. In his letter to Gov
ernor Kibbey, Leupp says that there
is no manner in which to protect the
rights of the petitioners, and that
they must forfeit their mining claims.
Leupp refers to decisions, which
have held that when d presidents
proclamation creates a reservation
he cannot amend the boundaries or
change the conditions, congress be-
ing the only tribunal that has author
ity to make any changes in modifica-
tions.
| Leupp states that the Indian
bureau is working for the passage of
/ the bill now pending, which provides
that mineral lands shall be leased
and the revenue go for the support of
the Indians inside whose reservations
the lands are located.
Should this bill pass, it will be the
means of opening up muCh rich min
ing territory in Arizona, from whic b
the prospector is now barred by rea-
son of the law which prohibits the
location or development OF mining
claims in Indian reservations.
Especially in the Colorado and
Navajo Indian reservations of Ari-
IONA is it believed that there are
valuable mineral deposits which have
never been prospected, for the rea-
son that the law prohibits work in
that direction.
Should the law pass, the claim
holders inside the Colorado reserva-
tion will probably be given the first
tchance to lease the mineral lands
they are now forced to forfeit.

FIVE ESCAPE FROM LOWELL JAIL.
Tire of Prison Life and Take French
Leave of JaiIer,

A successful Jail delivery was per-
petrated at Lowell last week when
FIVE prisoners made their escape.
The men gained their freedom at
about 10 o'clock by cutting the bolts
from the hinges of the heavy iron
door. Four men, two Americans and
two Mexicans, who were also in the
manned in prison. These men are
short termers, and would have gained
little by escaping. AS soon as the
officers were notified of the escape
they at once began thorough search
of the hills and valley, but without
success. Deputy Sheriffs Humm and
Bauer took trains out of town, the
former going to Benson and the lat
ter to Douglas, but were uusuccess-
full in their hunt.
The prisoners who escaped we're al
long-term men, three Mexicans and
two white men. Ed McManus was
committed for ninety days for jump
ing board bill; Robert Sinclair was
arrested in Douglas charged with
Jumping a board bill at the Hull
boarding house in upper Lowell, and
was to have been tried the next day
and the three Mexicans, Victor Pala
hos, Estanislado Lopez and Manue
Lopez, being in for sixty days fol-
beating up a fellow countryman with
piece of gas pipe. McManus and
the three Mexicans were to have
been taken to Tombstone.
At the present time the officers are
working on a clew regarding the
identity of the man who passed tools
to the prisoners, and it is not i'm.
probable that he will soon be in the
tolls.
During the early part of the even
ing passersby heard some noises com.
ing from the Jail, but believed it wa;
nothing unusual, so did not report
the matter to the officers. 1t is re
ported that one person upon making
an examination of what was going
on at tue Jail was ordered off by ont
of the prisoners.

Copper in the Philippine Islands.

The best known occurrence of cop
per in the Philippine Islands is in the
Mancayan-Suyoc mineral region of
the province of Lepanto. Sulphide
ores predominant and were extern
sively worked in 1850 and later. Be-
tween 1864 and 1874, Spanish-Fili-
Pine company produced HOO metric
tons of copper in the vicinity of
Mancayan. An American syndicate
is now developing a number of new
claims. In the Suyoc district several
copper deposits are being developed.
The ores consist of auriferous tetra-
hedrite, tennanite, enargite and
luzonite; the government samples
showed, by assay, 81 to 1919 per cent.
copper and 50 cents to 1915 gold per
ton. Veins of refractory gold-copper
ore occur in the Budd River district.
In the foothills of the northern Fam
bales range, near Salasa, copper
veins rich in gold are being devel-
oped. The Batangas province con-
tains copper in the Loboo noun
taius. The veins are of two systems
and are in dioritic rock. They are
six inches to two feet wide and carry
bornite, chalcopyrite, tenorite, Gu
prite, chalcocite, malcachite and
azurit; also, some gold and silver.
The gangue is quartz. However,
copper has not yet attracted the at
tention which has hitherto been given
to coal and gold in the islands.
