t Denver News, i
Two things are to be gained] by Den-
ver and Pueblo through the construc-
tion of the El Paso short line railway
that no other probable line can give
them. First- an independent road to
the gulf seaports that w ill force the
trunk lines to cease discriminating
against them, and second- the acquisi-
tion of nearly the whole of New Mexico
as Denver and Publo trade territory, of
j which, as it is now, they have nothing
worth mentioning.
Should the El Paso short line be built
both Denver and Pueblo will be on an
air line through the richest parts of
New Mexico to El Paso, Tex. They
will be in direct communication with
every important commercial center in
the territory and will be in a hotter po-
sition to control the American trade of
Old Mexico as to the bulk of exported
articles than any other section of the
country.
It is a remarkable fact that there is
no coal yet found in Old Mexico nor
south of White Oaks in New Mexico.
The Denver News shys- “The South-
western Silver convention at El Paso
has drawn together a large number of
delegates from all sections of Texas,
Arizona and New Mexico, the proceed-
ing being marked by great interest aud
enthusiasm. The plea- made by ex-
Senator Reagan for free silver coinage
was cheered to the echo, and his asser-
tion that the party which put a free
silver plank in its platform would car-
ry the next presidential election is one
that may well attract the attention of
political managers everywhere."

OJR CONVENTION EDITION.
Mining in New and Old Mexico is yet
in its infancy. Within ten years mil-
lions of dollars worth of mining ma-
chinery must be shipped into these
countries. Denver and Pueblo, with
an independent line to El Paso, could
command nine-tenths of this trade.
The lead ores of Colorado, so neces-
sary to smelting, will soon be exhaust-
ed. kThe prosperity of Pueblo and
| Denver smeltors will soon depend
! largely upon Mexican ores. As it is
I now, Kansas City has an immense ad-
vantage over them in these ores. With
an independent line, they would share
the profit and distinction of soon be-
coming tho greatest smelting center in
the world.
The cotton of Texas and the wool of
the Mexicos should all find shipments
to Denver. They are now being large-
manufactured here, and witn its
Illinois pioneers. Sarah died at the
of ten years.
Mother Bordner is medium sized,
neither fleshy nor spare. Her hair is
gray: her eyes are unusually bright and
piercing. Her complexion is dark, and
there is an entire absence of the parch-
ment appearance of flesh generally seen
in very old people. Her voice is strong
and steady, hi all these particulars she
seems to be a well preserved woman of
seventy-five or eighty years. In early
life she joined the Lutheran church, but
in later years she has been a member of
the Christian (Disciples') church. She
was born ami reared among Pennsylva-
nia Germans. Indeed, her chiidren
when they went to Illinois could speak
no English.
Since the death of her husband she lias
resided with her descendants, passing
from place to place as she desired. There
is a loving rivalry among them as to
which one shall entertain the old lady.
Usually her health is good.

Deo. 28th, a sixteeu page extra edition
of five thousand copies to be known us
the “Silver .Convention Special Edi-
tion,” containing the detailed proceed-
ings of the late Southwest Silver con-
vention at El Paso with all the statis-
tics presented and speeches made by
distinguished visitors.
Tho primary object of this edition is
to emphasize El Paso as the home of
the permanent organization of the
miners of the southwest and to create
the sarno impression upon those miners
who did not attend the convention as
was made upon those who were fortun-
ate enough to bo here. We want to
make these impressions lasting and
with a true record of t he events of last
week we oaonot fail in this purpose.
Our description of the grand trades
display will be a feature that will not
«nly recommend El Paso to our rend-
raw material should make it the Lowed!
of the west in the weaving of cotton
and woolen fabrics.
The annual import trade of Old
Mexico through the custom house
across the Rio Grande from El Paso is
$12,0o0,000. The short linj would give
the bulk of that to Denver and Pue-
blo.
Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Santa Fe,
El Paso, all great commercial cities,
all bustling with trade, all ambitious,
are ready to make any sacrifice for such
a Denver connection. They want to
trade with Colorado cities, and veiy
largely through their energy and li-
berality this line will bo built.
Denver’s merchants, manufacturers,
smelters and bankers should commence
at once to reciprocate the good feeling
of New Mexico towards them by aiding
in ail the colonies add suggestions foi
intellectual contests and prizes with
honorary t itles attached.
An a result the scheme now takes this
form: There is to be a Pan-Brilunnic
festival, with contests in poetry. oratory,
prose composition, skill in all manner ol
handicraft, as well as sculpture and
painting, ui! kinds of athletics and mili-
tary drill. It is to be held once in four
years, and the victors are to receive
titles of honor and privileges good in all
the world.
But arc Americans of the United States
to come ini’ There is a difference of
opinion, but most of the promoters t hink
they should be invited, anil if they ac-
cept international rules can be agreed
on. There is some difficulty about a
name, but English Speaking is the gen-
eral idea. Thus, these gentlemen think,
is the British empire to be kept one m
sentiment and its relations with the
United States made closer.
