MINERS GATHER
AT FESTAL
BOARD.
Lively Banquet Scene at
the Orndorff.
GOVERNOR PRESENT
Elaborate Spread and Many
licitous Toasts Enjoyed
by Banqueters.
The aunual banquet-of the Interna-
tional Miners' association was held
last night at the Hotel Orndorff. The
gathering, the spread, the wines and
the addresses have never been out-
rivaled in this city.
As an invited guest, Governor Jo-
seph D. Sayers was present. When
called upon to address the meeting,
the chief executive paid many glow-
ing compliments to the city of El Paso.
In part the governor said:
"There is no compliment so rich,
so fascinating and so desirable that
comes to a public servant, who has en-
deavored to conscientiously discharge
his duty, as the words of public appro-
bation, formed by the lips of the toast
master and approved by you.
"For more than a quarter of a cen-
tury I have given up my life to the
service of the people. How well I have
discharged my duties will be left to
others to say. But I will say that I
have always been prompted by a sin-
cere desire to serve with the best of
my ability. When 1 was inaugurated
governor three years ago I only
pledged myself to serve honestly and
to the best of my ability. When 1
will have retired one year from this
date I trust that that peace, that con-
tentment, found in the private walks
of life, will carry with them the ap-
probation of the people.
"If I had been invited to address
you on the subject of education I might
have said something of interest to you
as I have been a school teacher; also
on the subject of military as I have
been a soldier; likewise in regard to
the cattle industry, as I was the first
man in the state of Texas to be a
Shorthorn breeder, and on the subject
of politics I might have addressed you
an' hour or more on the troubles and
shortcomings of a governor, but i
never owned a mine and never rode a
burro.
This Is a Great City.
"When invited by the city of El Paso
I determined to lay aside public du-
ties and visit a place I saw more than
forty years ago. and see those also who
were my friends when it was necessa-
ry for me to have friends when 1
wanted to reach the goal of my ambi-
tion, the governorship of the state ot
Texas.
"When I consider the situation of
El Paso in regard to the great cattle
industry, and last, hut not least, the
mining industry, a man must be blind
that can not fqretell that El Paso is to
become the Denver of tin1 state of
Texas.
“Hut. gentlemen, who is to create
this* coming metropolis—the greatest
of all the commonwealth? Not El
Pasoans alone, but you who represent
Arizona. New Mexico and Mexico."
The governor spoke to the miner’s
treasure, saying that it was to them
that most of the credit was due for
tiie bringing of the hidden wealth to
light.
Captain Beall was the toastmaster
of the evening and delivered beautiful
words of welcome to the territories
of Arizona and New Mexico, the repub-
lic of Mexico and the governor of the
state,
Mr. Hilzinger's Address.
Mr. ,1. George Hilzinger delivered a
very strong address, and incidentally
took occasion to question the policy
of tiie democratic administration of
the state of Texas.
Mr. Hilzinger fust reviewed the vast
resources of the state, but said that it
was an unquestionable fact that Texas
had made laws against capita! and cap-
italists. and endeavored to legislate
against, men who had never entered
the state; that the laws assume com-
bination of capital a crime, and in
fact any old combination that might
he mentioned. "We are all proud" of
Texas,” he said, "hut she certainly has
hay seed In her hair."
'Too Much Jawbone.
Dr. Gould, in responding for Hie ter-
ritory of New Mexico, made a happy
address. He said he had had a
place on earth. It was a grand place
and would be still more grand when
they had more hammer and drill and
less jawbone.
Britton Davis.
Mr. Britton Davis spoke as a rep-
resentative from the state of Chihua-
hua. Mr. Davis delivered an excellent
address, and in conclusion said that
Mexico was in need of still more capi-
tal and that all who would come there
would be assured of good and proper
treatment.
"A great deal has been said about
the imprisonment of Americans in
Chihuahua," said Mr. Davis, “but as
far as my own experience goes, where
there is one false imprisonment I have
known there were a hundred others
where imprisonment was justiable.”
Through Mr. Davis Gov. Ahumada
sent his regrets, but stated that the
band, which arrived last night, was
at the disposal of the International
Miners’ association.
Hon. C. F. Nichols.
Hon. C. F. Nichols spoke in behalf
of Arizona. T he gentleman, however,
confined most of his talk to the state
of Sonora, Mex., and said that it
would outrival Chihuahua or any state
of the United States. He said that the
people of Arizona liked Texas and it
was a common saying there that one
Texan was worth five native sons.
Juan S. Hart.
The toastmaster suggested that a
toast be drunk to the retiring presi-
dent, J. A. Eddy, and to Juan S. Hart,
the new president. As soon as the
name of Hart was mentioned the en-
tire assemblage called for some re-
marks from that gentleman. Capt.
Hart responded in his usual forcible
and eloquent manner.
The Chihuahua Band.
Throughout the banquet Gov. Ahu-
mada’s hand, composed of boys from
the art school of Chihuahua, played
selections. The music discoursed by
them was appreciated. A number of
American airs were played, and a
special hit was made by their rendi-
tion of "Dixie.”
The menu served was an excellent
one. although prepared on a short no-
tice.

Feast of Reason and Flow
Soul Enjoyed by Two
Hundred.
The banquet last night at the Shel- j
don to the Texas Cattle Raisers' asso-
ciation was a notable success.
Two hundred covers were laid, and
the visiting cow men were entertained
with a fine supper and ptenty of music
and good speeches. No more repre-
sentative gathering was ever seen in
El Paso.
Hon. \V. W. Turney presided as
toastmaster and extended the hospi-1
tality of the city in a gracious and !
eloquent address that appealed forci- j
lily to the visiting stoekraisers.
some others. The cattle men drove
the Indians from western Texas, and
the state is today getting money from
every acre of ground because you were
bold enough to come here and con-
quer a wilderness. Because of the
taxes you pay we have the finest
school system of any state in the
union. You have not received the
consideration that has been given the
farmer, but you are entitled to it and
will get it. The motive of the legis-
lature in dealing with your interests
is all right, but its knowledge is lim-
ited. I hope the day may soon come
when you and your interests and this
section of Texas wall be better under-
stood and appreciated.”
Senator Turney reviewed legislation
in the national congress that will af-
fect tiie interests of cowmen.
"We are glad to have you here,"
he stated in conclusion, “and we nave
done our best to give you the famous
January sunshine. It hasn’t rained
here in January in thirty years. It
seldom rains at any time. But that
is no sign you will be permitted to go

A voice: “How about the El Paso

Senator Turney dosed by hoping

they wanted him to go down in the
basket he declined. He added that
if he werp given a pair of overalls and
a burro he thought he would be about
as much of a miner as a great many
present. He said that it was usually
conceded in this section that there
were four industries—mining, manu-
facturing, stock raising and agricul-
ture-'-but in New Mexico they had a
fifth place, which was itolitics, and
they had more politics there than any
tion.
Mr. Brown's Response.
Secretary Brown of the association
responded with a few happy remarks.
He said tiie cattlemen were happy to
be in El Paso, and that when they went
to Port Worth they would work to
bring the convention of 1003 to this
city. “1 have attended conventions
in many places,” he said, “but was
never treated-with the consideration
that has been shown to me here."
Mr. Brown called upon Colonel I.
T. Pryor to speak in behalf of the as-
sociation. Colonel Pryor reviewed the
fine work of the El Paso delegation at
San Antonio and said he thought they
bad exaggerated matters, but was con-
vinced now that half was only told.
Col. H. T. Groom.
Has for its object the mining and manufacturing of building materials and fertilizers from the white
sands deposits of New Mexico. This company offers
100,000 SHARES, PAR VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE

This stock is one of the safest and best guaranteed securities offered in the southwest and the busi-

site the Midway entrance on Oregon Street, where officers of the company will be pleased to give

Polone] Groom made a happy re-
sponse to the toast "The Shorthorn.”
lie delved into Biblical history to
prove the stading of that animal, say-
ing that Solomon’s cattle were cherry
red and short of horn. He traced the
origin of the modern shorthorn back
for two years, and dwelt upon this
animal's value to civilization. He
spoke of the opportunity afforded in
Mexico for the introduction of pure
tired cattle, and hoped the breeders of
fine stock, operating from El Paso,
would take advantage of the fine op-
portunity.
H. C. Myles.
“El Paso as a Cow Town” was the
subject of Mr. Myles’ address, and he
showed satisfactorily what a splendid
cow city El Paso is. He said it was tiie
cattle capital of the great southwest.
Pie described the exhibit of fine stock
now in the city, and expressed the
hope El Paso would again have the
opportunity of entertaining the Stock
Raisers' association.
in tiie absence of Mr. William
| Humphries, Mr. Scarlet spoke on the
I "Hereford.” paying high tribute to
I that animal’s value and breeding qual-
[ ities. He also mentioned the splendid
opportunity for the introduction of
this stock into Mexico for interbreed-
| ing with the Mexican range cattle, and
the good that would result therefrom.
J. M. Dean.
Hon. J. M. Degn captured the vis-
itors with his speech on the “Long-
horn." His defense of that noble but
almost extinct animal elicited great
applause from the cowmen, and cr<v
ated a sympathy for the famous long-
horn such as made every one present
regret his passing,
Mr. Lynch spoke on the railroads
nnd their relations to the cattle indus-
try. He “whooped” things up for Kan-
sas City, but gave El Paso credit for
being the next best town on the map.
Governor Sayers.
Governor Sayers entered at this
time, having just left the Miners’ asso-
ciation banquet. He made an appro-
priate address on the great and varied
interests of Texas, and said that while
Texas would receive all visitors with
her characteristic hospitality, she
stood for Texas and Texans against
the world. He hoped he might live to
the day when every Texas steer
see
would be converted to articles of com-
mon use on Texas soil. He said Texas
had made up her mind to manufacture
as well as produce, and that the fu-
ture already held golden promises of
an unprecedented development in all
lines of industry. He spoke of the
Fort Worth packeries, and said it was
but a question of time until the great-
est packing houses in the country
would build similar industries in El
Paso. He said that he had been well
entertained, and that his visit to El
Paso would be long remembered as one
of the most pleasant incidents of his
life.
Door-Opening Tax.
The Viennese are rebelling over
what is known as the “door opening
tax,” under which any resident must
pay 4 cents to the janitor of his house
before he can enter should he return
to the house after 10 o’clock at night,
says the Chicago American.
If the unlucky Vienna man about
town should remain out after mid-
night the janitor bolleets another 4
cents. No Vienna man or woman car-
ries a latchkey.
If a visitor dines with a friend and
remains after 10 o'clock he has to
pay 4 cents for getting out of his
friend's house and 4 cents more to
get into his own.
If a tenant of a house has to got out.
a dozen times in the course of the
night he must pay 4 cents each time.
There is no reduction for door tick-
ets bought in bunches.
