Let iik hiive sampling work* in El
Paso. Smelling and mautifaqturing es-
tablishments will shortly loliow.
After all the fuss and trouble betw een
Senators Houston and l>4\is the legisla-
ture has refused to abolish the oiliee of
commissioner of statistics, insurance and
history. Thus the tempest in the tea-pot
li4g been al! lor nothing.
A hill has been passed by [lie legisla-
ture requiring the attorney-general to
ins itute suits against railroad companies
which have obtained control of parallel
and competing lints, in direct violation
of tiie constitution. This act will very
... probably cause a tremendous shaking up
ot dry bones,
Jk El I'aso lud sampling works, the
struggling miner in the dozen promising
districts surrotiuding the city could send
his pioneer car-load, or even wagon load
to it, have it assayed and sampled, get
his money for it, be it much or little, and
go back to bit work prepared to take out
a bigger load for the next shipment.
Without sampling works our best mining
districts would remain dormant and tin
profitable for years.
Wntak'! occasion to state again, as we
did ve<(erday, that the establishment
the subsequent erection of smalters. On
the contrary, it would pave the way for
aii'l facilitate the latter. In many res-
specis it is desirable that sampling works
should be started in El I'aso before a big
smelter is erected< They would demon-
straie the existence of abundant and
inexhaustible ore bodies around El I'aso,
of a ready-fluxing and durable charac-
ter, aud thus prove to smelting people
possessed of (lie necessary capital iliat it
would be perfectly sale to invest here.
lilKKE constitutional amendments are
to be voted on by the people of Texas at
the next genera) election. The fiist re-
quires foreigners desiiiug naturalization
to declare their intentions one year pi lor
to the general election before they can
vote thereat. The second amendment
coufttrs upon district courts appellate
jurisdiction in contested election cases.
'1 he third submits the question of prohi-
bition to a vols of the people at a special
state election to be held ou the third of
August next-

The proposition was made to kave a
thorough geological survey of the state
of Texas. The move is certainly a good
one, and we hope that la the proper
quarter steps will be taken to have it
properly set on foot. A bill is pending
before the legislature, to "provide for a
geological survey of the state of Texas."
El Paso county Is one of those that is,
geologically, almost a terra iucognita,
and would be vastly benefitted by the
passage of the bill. A thorough survey
would show the area occupied by each
geological formation which formations
contain ores, coal, marble, clay and other
valuable minerals; the quality and prob-
ablequantity of such ores and minerals;
the varieties of soils and the arena occu-
pied by each; the mode* of culture and
crops adapted to them; the quality and
quality of commercial and economic
timber; the location of saline and fresh
water springs, and the possibility of ob-
taining artesian wells at given localities;
the streams and the water power and Ir-
rigation facilities which they furnish;
and »iany other equally Important and
valuable Items of information. During
the survey the party in charge of it could
collect a large number of specimens of
rock, minerals and fossils, that, when
properly arranged in a cabinet, would at
tract attention to our mineral deposits,
and add to the progress of science, ami
be a source of pride to every Texan.
Texas foisils are in demand from every
scientific collection In America, as well
as foreign countries, and by a systematic
plan of exchange, a tntj nificient collec-
tion could be obtained of such fossils as
are not fonnd In Texas. Taking all these
and many other facts into consideration,
It seems to bo highly imuortant that the
egislature pass the bill now pending.
