To be Held in Allmquci'tiue September 16-19, 195. By the authority of the National Exec Executive - utive Executive Committee, the Fourth National Irrigation Congress is hereby called to moet in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the four dnye beginning Sep September - tember September 10th, 1895. The present year is proving to be the most remarkable in tho history of Amer American - ican American irrigation. It has seen a wonder ful awakening of popular interest in the cause throughout the East, resulting in the organization of most poteutial forces for the purpose of co operating with the western pople; the enactmont of well considered laws in eight States, and the cre.ition of administrative systems in Ave of them; the recognition of the press pressing - ing pressing nature of tho problem by the De partments of Interior and Agriculture, under whose direction a National Board of Irrigation hae beou formed from oil! cials in various departments of the gov eminent. These splendid evidences of the tri- nmphant progress of tho irrigation causo demand a large, representative and ef fective session of the Irrigation Congress in 1895. A further roaaon for such a gathering is the fact that the president ial campaign of 18'JG will bo inaugurated previous to the assembling of another session of this body, and that it is thus necessary to formulate, at Albuquerque, the demands which tho friends of irriga tion will desire to make upon the groat political parties of the nation. In view of the nature of tho opportun ty, a program of extraordinary variety, iutereat aud importance will be arrang arranged, - ed, arranged, and it is anticipated that this session of tho congress will be more widely use nil anil lntiueniiai man the previous conventions at Salt Lako in 1891, at Los Aupóles in 1893, and at Denver in 1801, Tho friends of irrigation throughout the United States for today the movement is national iu its scope and interest- should unito iu an effort to obtain worthy roBult at Albuquerque.

These are mentioned merely by way of illustration. There may be places that need a railroad even more than either of the. localities mcntiouod. Denver Re Republican. - publican. Republican. The Santa Fe company has been the "dg in the manger" as to this region ever since its construction into southern New Mexico. It would neither build a branch here nor permit another company to do so. It has industriously circulated false statements concerning the resources of this country, and whenever there has boen any pros prospect - pect prospect for a road by a competing line it has laid every obstruction possi possible - ble possible in its way. While we have been and are now compelled to patronize this road, there is very little love for the Santa Fe in this locality. THE TARIFF TINKERS. Already the protectionist is de demanding - manding demanding new tariff, legislation, claiming that the present law is "sectional and outrageous," and insisting on its alteration to suit some other view of the situation. If a tariff, for protection or for revenue with inciclontal protec protection, - tion, protection, can he devised which will not bo sectional in its application, we have failed to discover on what plan it could be so constructed. It even goes further than to the point ot sectionalism, but always reaches individualism and tends to build up one person's business at the ex expense - pense expense of another. Albuquerque expects to get the Denver and Rio Grande when that road moves on from Santa Fe, and wo hope and believe she will real ize her expectations, but it will only bo a branch of that great line which will reach out for tho trade of New Mexico's live, enterprising city. This country will get the main line in the extension of the road which is next to pass through this Territory. No other course on the part of that company would embody that degree of good sense and business acumen hitherto shown by the D. & R. G. Anent the probable extension of the Denver and Rio Grande rail way system into this territory, as published elsowhcre in this issue, the Denver HrjHtllisan of the (ith inst. hus uu elaborate editorial showing the importance of the conti inplated extension alike to Col Tiido and New Mexico, and also indicating it probable pro progress - gress progress through this territory to El Paso, Tex.

WHITE OAKS IRON ORE. Ever since the advent of the miner and prospector into inis mineral region it has been known nit immense bodies of iron ore existed in the locality of what now i White Oaks. The quantity of íese deposits was not a question of serious consideration, because on every hand was visible the evi- ence of the, practically, unlimited extent of the ledyes of this mate- ial. It only remained for experts, aseayers and chemists to ascertain the value of the ore which ap appeared - peared appeared in such enormous quanti ties in the mountains in this vicin vicinity. - ity. vicinity. To this end the services of numerous assayers have been, from time to time, employed to make analytical te&ts of these ores, and their value has thus been fully as ascertained. - certained. ascertained. Out of a very large number of tests made which are now at our command we have se- ected the following, prepared by- Mr. Morris B. Parker, and which shows a fair average of the whole. Samples for these tests were taken from three different localities as follows : Int.

In f.ict, very few- ire reported which excel us in the high grade and purity of their ores.
