To 1ie Editor Of he Dispatch:
The assessment OF lands this year will
cost the State many thousands of dollars
now change every five years.
viii the Dispdica call the attention of the
public TO the following mode of assess
ment as one that will be less expensive
and probably more satisfactory in figures
generally than the present way wiz. A
board OF intelligent farmers from every
section Of the county to meet at the court
house and, with the handbook before
them, revise tho list. This board may
consist Of four TO ten members. Each
one--if the appointments are intelligently
made-will have fair knowledge Of the
relative values of all the neighborhoods of
the county and special knowledge of the
one in which he lives. Public-spirited
men can DO named to compose these boards
willing 10 serve for q per diem that will
cover expenses-say. 50 per day. Such
board, having nlOrt of the necessary know
ledge than strangers could acquire by
visiting every farm in the county, would
do the work of revision in one or two days.
To the many who know by whom and
how this work is now generally done and
the money given for it. does not some
other way cry aloud TO our law-makers for
approvalg RusTIcUs.

REPUBLICAN.
Total. .9i2


We have often heard of gerrymander-
ang, but never before of such brazen-faced
swindling of the people as those figures
disclose. The rascally Republicans of Iowa
IRE bowling over outrages committed in
Mississippi upon ignorant negroes, whilst
ut home they are daily perpetrating an
unspeakable outrage upon the free white
men Of that State. The Free Press says
ANY citizen of Boone county has only
one third of the legislative power that the
citizen of UBrien county has. Any clti-
zen Of the last-named county counts for
more than four times as much as a citizen
of Des Moines county. IL is by reason of
such bare-faced political thievery that the
Republicans have fifty members in the
house. They dare not defend the means by
which they secured them. The lie would
stick in the throat of anv man who should
dare 10 say that the apportionment was
Just or intended TO be so. 1t took all the
force of the caucus TO pass it. The bill al
1rst was beaten because some Republicans
Sefused to vote for it. Then a caucus was
held and all the DIRECTORS We're forced To
stultify themselves except Cummins of
Polk and Curtis of Clinton. The appor-
tionment Is Banquo's ghost 10 the Re-
publicans. 1t will not down. IL appears
TO them constantly and makes them every
day their own accusers."

San Francisco is indignant over what it
terms curious lack of respect for Secre-
tary Tracy shown by some of the naval Off
GERS at Mare Island. 1t seems that great
preparations had been made for ball to
be given by the officers on Wednesday eve
ming. The spacious sail-loft of the equip
mont building was decorated. News of the
terrible calamity TO the Secretary Of the
Navy was received on Monday. A consul
tati0n was held. and though several promi-
nent officers argued for postponement,
the majority decided that they We're too
far away TO mourn, so no notice of post
ponement was sent out, and the music and
dance went on.

+. A. Blake, superintendent of the
Tres Hermanos mines, three in number,
and located at San Pedro, has just made a
very encouraging report to the stockhold-
ers in the company who are residents OF
Las Vegas, Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
There are 500 feet of workings on the
property, and its development is kept up
steadily. Says the report:
The pay streak proper in it varies from
five to ten feet in thickness, and is COM
posed of ferro-manganese, hard carbonate,
galena and gold ores. The high grade
galena ores, which appear well distributed
through this large pay streak, show val
ues in silver and lead ranging from $40 to
$40 per ton. The gold ores range from
50 to $25 per ton, and the balance of low
grade ores vary from $40 to SIS in value
Water appears in the lower workings,
coming in at the rate of about twenty
gallons minute. Above ground the
company has a fine locomotive thirty
horse power boiler, which has steam con-
nections with Worthington pump,
placed at depth of seventy-fve feet at
water level, in drift at the side of the
main double compartment hosting shaft );
also, with fine Deane sinking pump,
which is located in chamber fifteen feet
lower at the foot of the shaft. These
pumps keep the mine clear OF water with
ease, and with little expense.

FACTS FROM A FARMER.
Water, Soil and Climate and What they
Combine to Produce in Santa
Re County.

1t is fact not generally known that
Santa Fe county's prolific valleys are sup.
plying the famous San Luis valley in
Colorado with much OF the fruit and vege-
tables consumed by the people there
Along the line OF the D. & R. G, road
are Alamosa, Antonito, La lara, Tres
Piedras, Chama and Amargo drawing
nearly all their green truck" from this
county at the present time. Most OF it
comes from the northern part of the
county, from the valleys watered from the
Rio 'Grande about Espanols, the Santa
Cruz, Pojaque and the Chimayo. Never
have the farmers thereabouts flourished
SO well as this season. In the production
OF crops they are fully one month ahead,
as rule, OF even the extreme southern
portion of Colorado's San Luis region,
and they are about two weeks earlier
than Santa Fe with their productions.
Water is plentiful in the localities named,
but land does not 90 for nothing it ranges
from $50 to $50 per acre. Recently
Cdulh L uudu WHO OWLS u lTdCG uedf
Espanola refused an offer of 5000 for it.
Water gives it value.
?. H. Leese who is here from Espanola
came out of the San Luis valley three
years ago and paid $50 per acre for twelve
acres. To-day he has bearing orchard
of 450 trees, and can't begin to supply the
demand for garden vegetables. He has
on his place Ben Davies apple trees pur-
chased from the Santa Fe nurseries and
set out last November, which this year are
yielding fruit. There's no section Of
country i'll the world that can beat this
record. Encouraged by Mr.. Leese's sue
cess, James Curry, of Alamosa, last
season bought forty acres near Espanola,
and has ten acres now in fruit trees. J.
H. Whitley, proprietor OF the Perry
House, Alamosa, bought six acres near
Mr.. Leese this spring, seeded it to alfalfa,
and this year it will yield him two crops
of hay. The average yield OF alfalfa there
after the second year is five crops per
season.
