BRYAN MAKES AN ATTACK

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
BaltimOre.-The fifth days session
of the Democratic convention adjorun-
ed here Saturday night at ll:05 O'Clock
after being in session for eleven hours
All known Democratic records for
the number Of ballots taken were brok-
en- at this session. Immediately after
conyening the clerk started calling the
roll and with a monotonyous regularity
this was continued throughout the
session.
Champ Clark started out the day
with a good lead over his nearest op-
ponent, Gov. Wilson, but this was
gradually cut down by the Wilson men.
The thirteenth ballot started off with
Clark having a strength Of 55i and
Wilson a strength Of 45G u, they
fininshed with Clark 4G3 - and VIII
son A 12.
The sensation of the day was when
w. J. Bryan announced that he would
not vote for Clark as long as the New
York delegation voted for him. He
said that he would vote for no can
didate whom the New York delegation
voted for. This caused an uproar in
the convention and caused a great
deal of i'll feeling.
Clark supporters claimed that this
was an unfair attack on their candi-
date and that It should not influence
anyone. MIR. Bryan was attacked on
the floor of the convention by several
delegates one of whom asked Mr.. Bry-
an If he would support the Democratic
ticket and If the convention nominal.
ed some one he did not like. He re-
piled he intended 10 support the
nominee but that did not necessarily
bind him to keep quiet before the
convention and not work for some
man whom he chose,

delegate on Mr.. Clark the managers
of the speaker considered It important
that he should come to Baltimore ~

Speaker Clark accepted the advice Of
his managers and came to the conven-
tion city, arriving here shortly after
the session adjaurned for the night.
Mr. Clark went Immediately to a
hotel and went into conference with
his advisers and in the early morn

charges. The statement follows:

OF lead and 9,044 tons Of zinc, being
lfar below the maximum annual pro-
dLction established in other years. The
total mineral and metal production last
year exceeded $1,000, 900. OF course.
it is customary to say in mining
Estates that the production might have
been ten times the actual output and
that the surface is hardly scratched,
but even letting it go at actual re-
turns, New Mexico is not the least
among the mineral producers of the
Union, for as much as a quarter bill
lion dollars of ore have been produced
since Uncle Sam annexed the com
monwealth.
It's silver output last year was by
far the largest for a decade.
Despite the low price of silver it
was valued at $1,142,335, as against
$4,000 in the year preceding, 1924
200 in 1909, 100000 in 1908, $599,500
liz 1907 and $453,400 in 1906.
In gold production too, the year
1911 eclipsed the records OF former
years. The total was s619,S97, most
ly from the Mogollon district, which
shows that even though a mining dist
riot is 20 miles from a railroad IN
almost inaccessible mountains, if the
values are there, it will be worked.
The year before the production was
$477,2O0, in 1909 it was S252,S00, in
1908 1t was $3O6,300; in 1907 it was
$33O,O00 and in 1906 it was $266.200.
The copper production, while 1t was
a little larger than the year before,
did not come up to the record of the
preceding years. This year however,
with the gigantic operations Of the
Chino company, it will be greatly in
creased. In 1911 there were produced
8 $500 pounds; the year before 81
7S4. 500 pounds. 1t was 5,031,136
pounds in 1909, 4,991,351 pounds in
1908, 1~0,140,140 pounds in 1907 M
l7,099,842 pounds in 1906.
The year 1910 had broken all
records for coal production and last
year fell a little behind it, the pro-
duction being S,440,O22 tons, mostly
from Colfax county, as against $685.
321 tons in 1910. There was a heavy
falling off in zinc production which
amounted to 91,S65 tons of ore yield
ing 9,O44 pounds of zinc, the ore
mostly coming from Magdalena, Kelly
and Mineral Point. OF the crude zinc
ore there were 20,944 tons yielding
5,6O3 tons of zinc; 24,6S4 IONS OF zinc
lead ore yielding S,441 tons of zinc,
and Of other ore 146,2s6 tons. In lead
there is also a falling off, the pro-
duction last year having been 1sl,-
S65 tons Of ore yielding 2,160 tons OF
lead. In addition, over a hundred
thousand tons Of iron ore. huge guam
titles of lime, some cement, turquoise.
mica and other minerals must be
q edited to the new state which may
some time, do ever much better than
It has in the past in mineral produc-
ton.
