XVv Turk, Dee, 21.'—It. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say:
The holiday retail trade has been
satisfactory and In some of the cities
in excess of former, years, revealing
noteworthy ability and willingness
among consumers to spend. Whole-
sale operations are naturally held
somewhat In check by the holiday
trade and by the settlements Incident
to the close of the year, but there Is
no indicated Change in the more fav-
orable situation In business which
has been progressively manifest dur-
ing the last few years.
The bright outlook In iron and steel
t* enhanced by prospective large
purchases of rails, orders for fully
100,000 tons being expected in the
Immediate future. This tomiuge will
embrace contracts from several
prominent roads, while other equip-
ment is being freely taken. Consid-
erable bridge work is coming out and
the Pennsylvania car order will re-
quire twenty-four thousand tons.
Producers find It possible to estab-
lish a firmer price basis and the re-
cent low quotations in struetursl ma-
terial have disappeared although ac-
tive business is still open to conces-
sions.
White immediate business Is reason-
ably quiet, the undertone of the cot-
ton goods market indicates slow but
steady Improvement in the volume of
distributions.
Exports to miscellaneous ports con-
tinue good and some small lied Sea I
buying is being done. Shipments to
China last week aggregated 3400 I
ba its.
Steady Improvement continues In j
the market for woolen and worsted
goods, a duplicate business coming in '
on dress goods.
In the leather market occasional !
concessions are reported in a few de- |
scrlptiona, principally harness leather

Associated Press Dispatch.
Salem, Ogn., Doc. 22.—As a sequel
of the recent declaration of Governor
Oswald West that he would not per-
mit the legal execution of any person
in this state during tils term of of-
fice, came today the announcement of
•he governor that he would see to it
thot the matter of executing murder-
ers convicted in the first degree was
submitted to the will of the people
through the initiative and referen-
dum, which is the vogue in this state.
The governor, during his term, will
abide by the doclslon of the peo-
ple.
“Capital punishment is either right,
or it is wrong," said Governor West.
“I believe It wrong, and I believe I
voice the sentiment of the mujorlty of
the people of this state when l say
It Is wrong and should be abolished.
When l stated, before leaving for the
east, that there would be no hangings
during my term of oflcc, I did so be-
cause I had a firm belief that the
people of this state would, at the first
opportunity vote to abolish it, and it
was my intention, as it is now still
my intention, to submit to the voters
of this state through the Initiative
a measure abolishing capital punish-
ment, substituting life Imprisonment
and permitting the granting of par-
dons in murder cases only upon the
recommendation of the supreme
court. In the meantime death sen-
tences will not be commuted, but re-
prieves will be issued for the purpose
of postponing execution until after
the people have declared, their
wishes.
"If they declare for hanging, their
sentences shall be carried out to the
letter in each case, but I do not fear
such a verdict, us I am firm in my
belief that the people will abolish
this relic of the dark ages, and that
there will be no more hangings in
this state.”

j Arutro Longegw, the president of the
Cl*. Minora Kiploradera y ExpMa-
| dor* de Guanacevt. S, A., arrived Hi
j Parral after a short visit to his com-
pany's properties. last Tuesday,
leaving the following day for Lea
] Angeles, Cal. Through the courtesy
j of Don Arturo himself, and of Leo-
J Isold 1 wonrky. your correspondent
| was enabled to gain a great deal of
very interesting Information as to the
recent rich strikes it» the company's
mines.
The properties are doing very well
and exploration work has recently
opened up several new ore shoots of
extremely high grade, adding ecu.
Hdernbly to the amount of shipping
ore already blocked out.
The strikes were made In the
Paleroa group and iu that known a*
• he Trigucro* or La Mexicans. The
former of these two groups pro-
duces an ore which carries values in
copper, lead, silver and gold, most ot
which ore Is shipped to the Torrkon
smelter. The I'aleros or Mexicans
group, on the other hand, produces
n highly siiicious gold-silver ore.
amenable to cyanidailon, of which
the high grade stuff is shipped to
the Cia. Mctalurgica's smelter in
Torreon, the remainder being treat-
ed at the custom mills of the camp.
Mr. Iwonaky states that the total
shipments! for the month of Novem-
ber. ore which, for the most part,
came from development work only,
netted the company the substantial
sum of something over one hundred
thousand pesos.
A good deal of the ore comes from
workings tapped by adit levels, ob-
viating the expense of winslng. hut
at the same time the company is
starting two new shafts on tho
I’afcros vein, to explore this vein in
depth. A gasoline hoist is to be in-
stalled on this property.
To hoist from the Mexieana shaft,
there is now* being erected a 40
horsepower steam hoist, and a 60
horsepower boiler. This will natural-
ly give a material increase to the
amount of development possible in a
given time, besides helping the out-
put.
Tho news, coming at a time when
everything in this district is doing so
well, is extremely satisfactory. The
Guanaeevl camp Is sixty or seventy
miles southwest of Pnrral, which city
It uses as a bases.
The Icuuna Mine.
This property, which Is on the
eastern outskirts of I’arral, is undei
lease to a Parral business man, Sr.
D. Francisco A. Salinas, who has
been working it for some time past
and has recently been obtaining high-
ly satisfactory results.
A large force of men is employed
and shipments are being made at the
rate of about fifty tons a day to the
Torreon smelter, the ore being trans-
ported from tho mine to the railway
station in wagons which make four
trips a day.
This is one of several similar enter-
prises which have turned out suc-
cessfully in the last few months.
At Santa Barbara.
Reports from thoroughly reliable
sources state that wonderfully rich
specimens of gold ore have been
taken out of the C'ronjo mine recent-
ly. The mine, which |s near the Cap-
Itanena, is being worked under leaso
by Dr. Rusk and Ed Wisbrun >•
Santa Barbara.
AlvuriiUo Mining A Milling Co.
Work is going ahead rapidly on the
foundations for the new 22-inch tube
mills which are expected to arrive
dally at the Pelmtlln. The present
capacity of the big mill and cyanide
plant near the Pnlmilla mine is about
200 tons per diem, which figure the
new mills ought to Increase to 400
or 450 tons. Everything else be-
longing to this company is running
smoothly, and tho water is being
steadily lowered in the Presena mine.
Other Items of Interest.
Tho Sierra Plata company, on the
Veto Colorada. broke their hoisting
record twice during the past week,
The company pulled over 120 tons
of ore a day, several days last week.

DEATH CAUSED BY MORPHINE
Mrs. Black, Society-life Novelist, Dies
From an Overdose of Drug.
Associated Press Dispatch
Chicago, Deo. 22.—Margaret Hor-
ton Potter Black, novelist, was found
dead today in her apartments from
an overdose of morphine which a
coroner's jury found was accidentally
taken.
Testimony at the inquest was that
she had long been adicted to tho use
of drugs and a few months ago was
permitted to leave a sanitarium to
which she had been committed. For
n any years she has been prominent
in literary circles, and her novels
were popularly supposed to reveal
every phase of life in Chicago. In
1902 she was married to John D.
Black. She was divorced by him in
1910, shortly before she was sent to
a sanitarium.
Edwin C. Potter, her brother, told
the coroner that his sister since she
left the sanitarium, had fought hard
to conquer her adictlon to morphine.
Mra Black was born in Chicago in
1681. She was the daughter of Orrin
W. Potter, one of Chicago's first mil-
lionaires. Her name came into prom-
inence when, at 16 years, she pub-
lished a book which was so startling
that her father and other members
of her family bought up every copy
they could find and destroyed the
plates.
Others of her books have been re-
fused entrance to Uabrles.

New York, Dec. 22.—George R.
Sheldon, treasurer of the Republican
nations] committee, commenting to-
day upon the publication of corres-
pondence between himself and Theo-
dore Roosevelt relative to the Harrl-
man campaign contribution In 1904,
and alluding particularly to hia own
letter to the colonel, said It was writ-
ten at the colonel's request.
Mr. Sheldon took exception to the
inference that publication of the cor-
respondence at this time Indicated
that the colonel was a candidate fop
the 1912 presidential nominations#
"Colonel Rosevclt has not told riiA
that ho is a candidate." Mr. Sheldon
said. "On the contrary, he has told
me repeatedly that he is not a can-
didate.
“Colonel Roosevelt amf myself were
aboard a train together some ten days
ago, and this matter came up in con-
versation. 1 said, 'why was the truth
never told about this whole business,
so that it could be shut up?’ ColoncL
Roosevelt said: 'Why can't you telfl
it now ‘ That Is all there is to it."
