A resolution was introduced by Major

tor and superintendent of minerals (now
held by Prof. Carrera) Final action on
| this resolution, on motion of Mr.. Sala-
Ear, was postponed until the next
meeting.
A discussion of this subject brought
out the information that Prof. Carrera
had not been drawing any salary for
some two months. He was originally
employed to work under the direction of
the com mttee on mines, to receive So
per day for each day actually employed,
but it seems that his first trip into the

was Immediately notified not to take any
further steps to collect mineral exhibits
until ordered to do so by the committee
on mines.

The action Of the Indian commissioner
and the board of control in calling for all
Indian exhibits to be made by the govern

was deemed unjust to deprive New Mex

view to permitting this territory to seq
regate its Indian exhibit from the ma
tional exhibit.
Mr.. Chaves and Major LIewellyn were
named as a committee to select points of
interest in the territory of which photo
graphic views shall be taken for the
Worlds fair and confer with Mrs. Albright
as to cost of same; also to urge upon
boards of county commissioners the justice
OF having the cost of such views paid by
the respective counties.

native herb used so successfully in tan
ming leather, canaigre root, was transferred
