Editor Journal l had the pleasure
during the last week of making brief
inspection of the Pass-Me-By and Asi-
attic mining properties, situated in the
mountain range between Sumner and
Summtville. l was very pleased to find
two great mines with substantial and
practically unlimited ore bodies on each.
A lot of preparatory and development
work has been done, so that both prop
critics are now about ready for milling
plants and bullion production.
These are mines, not prospects, The
ore lodes are large and well defined.
The ore is easily mined and will yield up
its gold and silver values to fine grind
ing and accurate amalgamation. No ex-
pensive combination of milling methods
is necessary in its treatment.
All the ores of the district, in so far as
1 have been able to examine them, ap-
pear to have a general uniformity IN

undoubtedly be Of very important ad-
vantage to the future OF the district, as
compared with camps where the ores are
refractory, by reason OF strong metallic
conditions and combinations, occurring
in an irregular manner thereby making
the methods of treatment uncertain, dlf-
ficult and most unsatisfactory. 1t looks
to me as il roasting, lixivation and cya'
hiding, with their expensive and cum
bersome plants, might be entirely elm.

A man the street was overheard to say,
Under free trade Europe would glut our markets
with foreign products" When asked what Europe
would get in exchange he replied he had never
thought of that He little realized that all of our
imports paid by our exports; not only that, but
the rents paid to absent landlords the dividends
on stocks ETC., held abroad all paid in mer-
chandise. Hence it is claimed that national debt
is national blessing, it creates balance of
trade in favor of the debtor nation. The greater
our imports the larger must exports necessarily
be; the freer the trade the greater the commerce
between all the nations of the world.

SHOOTING AT ALAMOSA

Marshal Trentham of Alamosa
shot a Mexican Tuesday evening
and the result will probably be
fatal. 1t seems that the officer,
assisted by the night marshal, was
taking the Mexican to Jail from
one of the saloons, when the sister
and father of the prisoner inter-
fered. The officers beat all three
over the head with clubs and then
Trentham fired two shots at close
range into the body of Herrera,
one bullet piercing the stomach.
Later-The Mexican, Herrera,
died OF his wounds Wednesday
night. An inquest will be held to
! determine whether the shooting
was necessary. Some indignation
is felt in Alamosa over the affair.
7. @. Jones of Council, Idaho,
formerly of the Hunter Mercantile
company Of Monte Vista, arrived
here Monday. He will remain in
the valley week or more attend

says conditions in Idaho are about

Mexico city, Sept. 25 lit was an.
nounced at the national palace today
that the resignation Of Minister of
Foreign Affairs Gamboa win be ae-
cepted Immediately by President
Huerta.
Gamboa was Wednesday nominated
for the presidency by the Catholic
party convention. Gen Eugene Ras.
con was nominated for the vice presi-
deucy Both candidates are regarded
as men Of high standing.
FREDERICK Gamboa was a disciple Of
lenace Mariscal. at one time minister
to the United States. He was sub
secretary Of foreign affairs under Mar
iscal Later he became minister to The
Netherlands and has recognized ability
as a diplomat He is a writer Of
some note and is about 30 years Of
age.
According to a prominent member
Of the Catholic party, the selection OF
candidates was made with the ap-
proyal Of Gen. Huerta and therefore
means the elimination Of Huerta as a
.presidential possibility.
The Catholic party. while supporting
the present administration. morally
and financially, it is explained, realiz-
ed the futility OF endeavoring to con
tinue Gen. Huerta in office in the face
OF the opposition on the part Of the
United States and the consequent in
ability of the government to borrow
money This attitude was plainly in
dicated to Gen. Huerta, who was
brought to realize its consistency and
finally sanctioned the proposed nom

support Of the ticket He said that
he would not be the candidate Of any
other party or faction.
The efforts Of the Catholic party i

selection Of men who would be ae

reason that he has not been promi

where good silage resulted from put
ting alfalfa in the silo, but as a rule it
does not make a satisfactory form OF
slage, When mixed with twice its
weight Of corn or kafir, it is more sat

since it can be made into hay Of such

nothing is gained by trying to make It
