MINING NEAR l£l. PASO,
Th« mining interest in the mountains
immediately surrounding; the two cities
of El Paso and Paso del Norte has been
stimulated to a remarkable degree by the
introduction of the sampling works. In
addition to the mine now being worked
by Mr. Chriss in the mountains north of
our city, we were shown today seme
very fine specimens of ore from a vein
lying about one mile north of the corpo-
ration line, on the west side of the main
mountain. The land upon which this
vein is situated, is owned by the company
of which Major Rand is a member and
the resident agent. This laud was re-
cently lease,i upon liberal terms, aud on
a royalty basis to some practical miners,
one of them being an experienced miner
from Arizona. The ore shown us is the
result of the first day's prospering, and
the miners are very much elated over
their success. They claim that the same
surface indications exist upon the land
which they have leased as overcap the
richest mines near Tombstone, Arizona,
and they feel confident that they have
secured a bonanza.
We have always contended that if sam-
pling works were started at this point,
the effect would be to stimulate mining
to such an extent as would result iu the
establishment of reduction works. Our
faith is daily strengthened, and it does
not require a prophet to predict
that it will only be a short time
before we become the beneficiaries of
reduction works established in our city on
a larger scale. ,
It is only necessary to examine
the effects of this class
of works upon the cities of Pueblo and
Denver, to form an estimate of the ad-
vantage we would derive from them.
We may be termed enthuastic, but we
firmly believe that. El Paso is destined to
be th# great mining, cattle, commercial
and manufacturing centre between the old
states and California. We advise every
one owning mineral land to give the
most liberal terms to practical miners, as
it is a well-known fact that they are
worth more than a world full of what is
known as "Experts," and also because
from the mining industry our city must
look for the greatest measure of future
advancement and prosperity.
The Times of yesterday contained a
■pecial dispatch from the City of Mexico,
in which it was stated that one of the bills
introduced into the Mexicaa congress,
now in session, is to the effect that the
law prohibiting Americans from owning
lands within three leagues of the border
be repealed. There is a reasonable pros-
pect that this bill will become a law. The
law-makers of our sister republic are be-
coming more enlightened, progressive
and liberal year by year. They know that
the people ef the United States have no
•uch narrow-minded and proscriptive law
on their statute book. They are com-
mencing to learn that the bugbear of
armed invasion and anaexation eiisU in
the brains of cranks and demagagues
only. The recent trip of the leading
editors aud journalists of the republic
through the principal portions of the
United States has been the means of dis-
•ipating and removing many erroneous
ideas heretofore held among the Mexi-
cans in regard to the people of this coun-
try. The bill will probably be advocated
by the leading journals in the City of
Mexico, and as the administration itself
it known to be in favor of it, congress
will very likely not hesitate to pass a law
■o just and beneScent as the oue in ques-
tion. It will, if passed, have the most
astonishing results upon the material
prosperity of the border states. They
will experience the quickening and vivi-
results of a "peaceful invasion" by
an energetic,enlightened and progressive
people that will advance them on the
road to prosperity more in one year than
they otherwise would have traveled in
half a dozen decades.
The picnic aud parade of the Deniion
Knights of Labor, next month, promises
to be a grand affair. Denison is to try
herself, and both the Knights and the
Gate City will doubtless mark an era in
their hiatories. Denison is one of the
most promising and attractive cities in
Texas, and is capable of getting up a
most enjoyable and notable affair.
'■If newspapers may be taken as ex-
ponents of public sentimept," says the
Paris News,l<the people of Texas are
strongly in favor of a law permitting
short-term convicts to be worked on the
public roads. The convicts could be
employed in this w»y without competing
with honest labor in an objectionable
way, for free labor does not like to work
upon the roads. The next candidate for
legislative honors should speak out on
this question."
