Missouri river and the Pacific coast

But wo know not what Ogden, Helena
or Salt City may-do. The latter city
has vast wealth, and is fast coming un-
der tho control of tho modern, liberal
and virile spirit of enlightened, ambi-
tious enterprise. Tho other cities are
active, aggressive and aspiring. Den-
ver will take much risk in relying sole-
ly upon her greater size and wealth to
maintain her supremacy.
S une oue of the cities of New Mex-
ico, a new city growing up beside and
around an old, may yet t rouble Denver
with her rivalry. Denver’s supremacy
over all tho other cities of the Rocky
Mountain country is no greater than
was once Cincinnati's and St. Louis’
over all other cities we.-t of the Allegh-
enies. They relied upon their situa-
tions. They were confident that they
would hold everything by the weight
of wealth and population. Where are

SOUTHWEST SILVER CONVENTION.
.
THE CALL.
To the prospectors, miners, rnino and
claim owners of Now Mexico, Ari-
zona and Western Texas:
The depression that exists through-
out the southwest is due to the unna-
tural depreciation of silver and to the
evil effects caused by that portion of
the alien act that prohibits tho invest-
ment of foreign capital in mining pro-
perty in the territories. The object of
tho southwest silver convention that is
to convene on the 15th day of Decem-
ber, 1891, in El Paso, Texas, is to dis-
cuss end take steps to remedy those
evils. No other subject but the silver
question and tho modification of the
alien act will bo entertained by the
convention, and all attempts to pervert
the object of this mass meeting of
miners by the introduction of questions
foreign to the principles for which
it was called will be suppressed. Tho
restoration of silver to its normal

OCNVER’S NEED IS EL PASO'S TOO.
(Colorndo Sun.)
Denver is too much of a way station
on great transcontinental linos and not
enough of a railroad center. She is
the center of no railway lines which
she controls. She has no roads by
which, independently of all outside in-
fluences and powers, she can gather
commerce and trade to herself. She is
forced to unload her goods from trains
loaded in eastern cities and headed for
the Pacific coast. Sho is constrained
to take cars of ore from Utah, Mon-
tana and Idaho out of trains bound for
Kansas City or Omaha. Sho is com-
pelled to look on while everything of
trade and traftic goes from Arizona
Paso, and she will at once secure an
immense trade. And as it stimulates
growth along its lino and in the coun-
tries beyond its terminus, its extension
iuto Old Mexico and Arizona and
through Texas will bo comparatively
easy. Railroads built into countries
of rich natural resources are readily
extended. Indeed, they seem to almost, j
extend themselves. When Denver is |
able to bring tho ores of all Colorado
camps and of the states and territories
to tho west and the northwest over her
own roads to her smelters, sho can be
confident that tho fires will never go
out in their furnaces.
Denver has given her attention to
nearly everything else; is it not about
timo that she turned it to tho control
of her own means of railway transpor-
tation?
Tan only comment the Times has to
mako upon the election of Mr. Crisp as
speaker of tho house is to remind our
readers that tho Fifty-second congress
contains one hundred and twenty-
three new members, nearly every on 0
a democrat, and that this number was
more than enough to nominate a
speaker in the caucus. Mr. Crisp se-
cretly worked the new members and
told them how badly treated all new
congressmen had been in the past and
promised them a bettor programme for ’
the future. His tactics won, but, to !
Mr. Mills’ honor, bo it said that all the |
experienced members of the congress i
voted for him, except those in tho way I
of whoso personal ambition he stood J
Mr. Crisp will make an excellent;
speaker, but ho had not earned tl e
distinction as tho brave Texan had.

The convention of miners in El Paso
will be a mass convent on, each camp
sending as many delegates as they
wish. All prospectors, miners, mine
and claim owners in Now Mexico. Ari-
zona and western Texas will bo quali-
fied for membership in tiie conven-
tion.
Miners should meet in each camp
district, town and city of New Mexico
and Arizona at some suitable date,hold
a meeting for tho purpose of securing
as full a representation as possible to
the Southwest Silver convention, that
will convene in El Taso on tho 15th
day of December next.
All newspapers in Arizona, New
Mexico and Western Texas are re-
quested to keep the call of the conven-
tion standing in their columns and to
give the coming convention their sup-
port and influence.
