Socorro Advertiser; Some people
can never stand prosperity, and there
is trouble in town. The chair warm
.er's association held several large and
enthusiastic meetings this week and
unanimously resolved that the free
lunch route asit is at present was not
all their constitutions demand. Now
both Biayaschi and Moody set out
lunches from $3.50 to 1890, and as far
as it goes this is all right, as it en-
ables them to clean it up pretty well
before anybody else can get around,
but they now demand either an after
noon lunch be set up or that one Of
the above places set it out in the
morning and the other in the after
noon. One meal day is not Q sufl-
cheney to sustain life.
Under the provisions of the act es-
tablishing the court of private land
claims, holders of small tracts will be
able 20 ycrv soon go into the land Of
fees and present their claims and Sc
cure perfect title for them without
awaiting the action of the new court.
New Mexican; Prof. A. f. Ban
daller, who has been employed to
bring order out of tine chaos so long sur
rounding the historic archives of New
Mexico. IS getting on nicely with his
task, adlmcult one at best. The de-
scriptiye catalogue embracing 200
numbers is completed for the years
1921 to 1901. In this catalogue is not
ed the date of the instrument, de-
scription of the parchment or paper
and a synopsis Of its contents. Over
5000 documents ofdate between 1901,
and the time OF the American occup-
alton, 1916, have been chronologically
arranged and ere ready for catalogu-
ing. The most ancient documents
and those most injured by the marks
Of time are being copied in toto, and
will of themselves constitute q large
anu important volume. BY far the
most tedious job Of translating into
English all these numerous documents

fishers who received the contract for
publishing the text books to be used
in the schools of New Mexico, are now
preparing a special edition of their
geography containing more full and
accurate interruption ia regard to this
than is to be obtained from
the regular edition. This work will
be used in all the territorial schools,
and will give the childrea Of New
Mexico a good opportunity to learn
something about theiI own section Of
the country. Eut the use of the spec
lal edition viii not be confined to this
territory. 1t will be placed on sale
al over the country.
Prospector: The city of Tombstone
is rapidly getting out OF debt. The
last bond WIN be wiped out next
month and at least $1,000 Of warrants
be taken up. 1t seems to be the dis
position of the mayor and council to
decrease the license tax now imposed
upon our business men as soon as the
bonds have been lifted. A reduction
Of 33b per cent will, it is stated, still
bring in sufficient money TO run the
city on a cash plan.

er hints the Grover Cleveland will

nent as custodian of the Fort Marcy
