1886, We find it pays.
Uniform rates are necessary tor the satis-

100 per cent. We sell at the same figure to
everybody,

A BIG MINING DEAL.
The Santa Fe New Mexican has the
following news, which is very import-
ant to El Paso as it involves the near-
est paying mine to this city. It says:
At Mayor Thornton’s office this fore-
noon a syndicate was organized which
will have a very important effect upon
the mining interests of the rapidly
growing Organ mountain district. The
object of the deal is to purchase the
Stephenson-Bennett group of miues,
located in the Organ mountains, thir-
teen miles east of Las Cruces, and
those who are “in it” are Major R. J.
Palen, Judge H. L. Waldo and Mayor
W. T. Thornton, of this city; Hon. M.
f. Otero, of Albuquerque; Messrs.
. 'F’aa Reymond and Mariano Barela,
of Las Cruces. The final papers in the
transaction were signed this morning
by all save Judge Waldo, who will affix
hi.s signature upon his return from the
east in n few days.
Tue company will erect extensive
concentrating works on the ground at
once and for that purpose has niready
net aside a large sum of money. The
Mi

deal involves $150,000. The mines have
been thoroughly developed, are how
yielding handsome returns and are
counted among the largest and best
group of mines in tbe southwest.
This afternoon it leaks oat that one
of the conditions of the agreement re-
sulting in the formation of the above
syndicate is that Mayor Thornton
will give his exclusive time and
attention to the management of the
company and its business. This will
necessitate his spending by far |he
better portion of his time at the mines
and it is not at all unlikely that he will
be compelled to resign the mayoralty
of Santa Fe. When approached on the
o^e™nonth.L_"L'.V”....L..L i (i! ^subject the mayor admitted that he
would have the active management of
the company's affairs and said it was
possible that, as soon as Judge Waldo
returns home and the final step in or-
ganizing the syndicate is taken, he
Would be forced to present his resigna-
tion and retire from the mayor's office.
In this event a new election will be
necessary to select his successor.
THE RAINMAKERS HERE.

•----------- -~--:S=
8CENE&
The local columns of the Times an-
nounce the arrival of Secretary Ellis,
in charge of General Dyrenforth’s
party of government rainmakers. He
promises El Paso the grandest experi-
ment of the expedition. Our mayor
and citizens have agreed to furnish
anything hg may need for the test. The
day set for their operations is Monday,
September 15th. Nothing can happen
to postpone the date except prevailing
bad weather, which in El Paso, the
records show, never exists.
The interests in these rainmaking
tests under the auspices of the United
States government is widespread over
the arid region that surrounds FI Paso
at all points of the compass. Even
Mexico is deeply interested and will
have a special commission present to
witness the work. Besides many prom-
inent Mexicans from all sections of the
neighbor republic who have been
writing and telegraphing to learu the
date set for the experiment will come
to El Paso and see it.
New Mexico and Arizona will bo large
ly represented here too. In fact Gov-
ernor Prince may come with a delega-
tion from Santa Fe, It is even now
said that Governor Hogg of Texas has
taken such a fervent interest in this
work that he may visit El Paso to get
the process or “modus operandi” so
that his state may undertake the same
work since the federal appropriation is
so small and inadequate.
It is understood, we are glad to say,
that the railroads entering this city
will grant reduced rates to visitors de-
siring to be at El Paso during the ex-
periment.
say-
The Las Vegas Optic insists on
ing:
The people of White Oaks Tare
fully alive to the fact that the Albu-
querque convention has been called to
knock out that of El Paso, and accord-
ing to the old adage that “forewarned
is forearmed,” are on their guard.
They are hand in hand with Las Vegas
people in theproject of the Las Vegas-
White Oaks-El Paso enterprise, fore-
seeing the peculiar advantages that
would be afforded their town by such a
combination. They know that a game
of spite is being played by the windy
city on the Rio Grande, and, like all
true hearted people, condemn it and
its originators accordingly.
The Times does not believe the mo-
tive ascribed by the Odtic to Albuquer
que ever existed. That city does not
care to attempt the “knocking out” of
El Paso’s convention. It is an impos-
sible task. The convention here will
be a grand success.
The frequent reports of an early rei -
olution in Mexico are laughed at by
those who know the facts of the con-
dition of affairs in that republic. One
mistake that President Diaz is surely
guilty of is the muzzling of the press.
There is no liberty where there is no
free speech.
Fl»ih:m -Murpiiy
A short, thick set man. with silver
streaks in his hair and bushy mustache,
stood in the rotunda of the Grand Pa-
cific and talked earnestly to a group of
reporters that encircled lain. “Friends,”
tie said, “it is very warm. Let uh go to
mv room and have a long drink.” This
startled the young men, for the speaker
had never said such sweet word;- before.
But recovering quickly they followed
the man to hi.s room. He rang for a
bellboy, and when the messenger ar-
rived the host said: “Ering us four nice,
large sparkling glasses of ice water.”
Then all whs quiet. You could have
heard a couple of pins drop, and each
reporter had a different expresfionon
each side of his face. The host was

lecturer.—Chicago Herald.
