Colorado Springs, being the latest to let
we'll boring contract. Mr., Varnum, Of
Roswell, has the contract, and will go
down 500 feet on Hagerman's heights
near Eddy. Roswell citizens can, since the
success of the first experiment, now Sc
cure an artesian well almost anywhere
for $3.50.
Three inches of the beautiful last night
and frst-class sleighing again-but, oh,
what waste of precious water will roll
down from the Santa Fe mountains in
the spring A dozen ten acre reservoirs
could be supplied with water for irriga-
ton purposes. Here's big chance for
investors.
Several neat real estate transactions
have taken place during the past few
days. There is no difficulty about selling
realty here to outside investors as long as
the prices asked are reasonable. And it
is, as rule, advisable to sell, for if man
owns five acres worth 5000 per acre and
sells half of it to a man who will improve
it, the remaining half that he holds will
not be long in doubling in value. Give
the outside investor chance.
Having refused to pay the fine and
costs in the contempt proceeding ex-
county commissioners, Sloan and Mar
tinez, were committed to Jail yesterday.
This forenoon application for writ of
habeas corpus was made to the supreme
court and the bodies OF these ex-commis-
sioners, as well as that OF the county
clerk, we're produced in court at 9 O'Clock
this afternoon. The case will be under
hearing all the afternoon, the court hav-
ing allowed each side two and half
hours in which to present their respec-
tive arguments.
Mariana Larriagoite, school superin-
tendent Of the county of Rio Arriba, is in
the capital on business. He reports
that $500 of the county school fund in
his county have just been distributed to
the several districts, that there is another
large amount Of school funds in the treas
ury now for distribution, and that thirty
five schools are now open and in
operation in the county of Rio Arrtba.
That is very fine commentary on the
condition OF affairs in this county, where
there are no public schools open and
where there is no money in the school
fund the difference between the Repub-
lican officials of Rio Arriba county and
the Democratic officials of Santa Fe coun-
ty during the year 1890 is quite apparent.

APPOINTMENT OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY.


1t is reported that nomination for
district attorney in this district had been
sent to the council A representative of
the New MEXICAN proceeded to interview
the governor on the subject in order to
have the exact facts of the case.
"Is it true that an appointment has
been made for district Attorney" asked
the reporter
"Yes, l have sent the name of Mr..
Twitchell to the council" answered the
governor.
"Was there much of a contest on the
appointment"
"Wel, l would not call it contest"
was the reply. "There was an active COM
! petition, and Mr.. Read was earnestly
pressed for the place. But there was the
best of feeling about it, and not an un-
kind word was said of either candidate by
the friends of the other. MIR. Read is a
good lawyer and excellent citizen, and l
have very high regard for him. He is
making splendid record and has every
prospect of successful and brilliant
; future. Besides, he had special claim
just now from the fact that he was elect
ed to the legislature and was thrown out
of his seat without one atom of investiga-
ton or even pretense of examining the
merits of the case. But Mr.. Twitchell
has been very active and vigilant dis
! trct attorney, has achieved an excellent
reputation in the Office, and developed
the traits which characterize the success
ul prosecuting officer. Besides this, he
is in the middle of some important public
matters which would suffer greatly by
change in Office at this time. For
example, there is the Faustin Ortiz case.
That was one of the most diabolical
murders ever perpetrated. 1t has scarce
y a parallel in history, and its trial is
destined to 20 down in legal annals
as ore OF the celebrated cases
in criminal law. Mr. Twitchell
has spent months in endeavoring
to unravel the mystery surrounding this
case. He has succeeding in obtaining
clues and evidence which have resulted in
large number Of indictments. No one
else could possibly take up the case now
as successfully as he Can carry it on. On
this and other accounts, felt that the
public interests require his re-appoint-
ment."
"When are the nominations for Auditor
and Treasurer likely TO be made?" pur-
sued the representative of the NEW Mex
/, AN.
"Oh now you are asking me too much"
said the Governor. 81 have no idea,
but possibly not for some time. want
if possible to have the appointments
satisfactory to all the Republican council
men, as we'll as to the people at large. 1
recognize fully that the council is part of
the appointing power. If our friends
there would agree on couple of names
would send them in very cheerfully. But
there seems some little diversity Of opin-
ion just now which I hope may disap-
pear. Come again in few days"

COUNCIL.
| To-DAY's SESSION.
The committee on judiciary reported
through Mr.. Mills that G. B. No. 5, the
high license act, as amended by the house
and passed by that body, should pass the
council. The measure was laid upon the
presidents table to come up in regular

Mr.. Perea moved to go into executive
session, but afterwards withdrew his
motion.
Mr.. Perea introduced G. B. No. 81, the
new finance and general appropriation
| bill.
Mr.. Perea explained that there were
two copies of English and two of Spanish
of this bill in existence, and in view OF
the fact that the measure would probably
be much altered in committee, he moved
that it be referred to the finance
committee before it was printed. This
would also save time However, it WAS
decided to have the bill printed at once
and referred to the committee on finance.
New bills were introduced as follows:
By Mr. Richardson, G. B. No. 50, An
act to amend the law relative to practice
before the supreme court. BY Mr.. Mills,
