NEW MEXICO.

Annual Report of Gov. Prince of New Mex-
lco 20 the Secretary of the Interior-The
Importance of the Land Court Bill Rec
ognized LF tho People of the Territory
me state food Question, Irrigation, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o-The annual
report OF Gov. Prince of New Mexico
has been Submitted to the secretary of
tne interior The report says that the
people OF New Mexico gratefully rec
ognize thesaction of congress in passing
the land-canrt bill for the settlement
OF private land claims. no one but
those fanlisiar with the subject, the re-
port says. can appreciate the import
ance OF disadvantage to the future of
New Mex#o.
In regaaa to statehood, Gov. Prince
says that. the constitution was submit
ted to vote by the people on October
I, 1890, AMI it was defeated by large
majority. This action on the part of
the people, the governor says, while
peculiar, does not indicate disinclina-
ton to assume the condition of state
hood. He says that New Mexico
shonld not be kept in the subordinate
position of territory, for the reason
that she possesses the number of in
habItants, the resources, and the taxa
bic property necessary to admission.
The total assessed valuation of the
property of New Mexico in 1890 was
S45. l99, SAT, and of this S1,972, 163 was
exempt from taxation under territorial
laws. The financial condition of the
territory, the governor saws. is re-
markably good.
On the subject of irrigation the
governor says there is nothing Of
greater Importance to New Mexico than
this. The future of the territory de-
pends very largely on the increase of its
area of cultivated land through the
comprehensive systems of irrigation.
The mining industry throughout the
whole territory has increased in
amount and profit during the past year.
The total mineral product for 1890 was
almost SO. 100000.

Hon. a. NJ. sinnott. Elmcrc's
able Probate Judge and efficient
School Superintendent, this week
visited the Rocky Bar and Atlanta
schools and was very favorably i'm.
pressed with their management.
OF the Rocky Bar school he SAYS il
is exeellently conducted by Prof. T.
c. Waldron, an educator Of unex-
ceptionable ability and second to
none. With Waldron at the helm
the ship of progress will be ably
piloted in its course in the sea OF
education along the shores of Rocky
Bar. and rocks and whirlpools will
be- avoided. He says the pupils of
the advanced classes acquit them
selves in a manner that would re-
fleet creditably on any graded
school in a large city. A thorough
system of discipline, order and ac-
curacy prevails. and as a conse-
quence the progress Of the pupils is
unquestionable.
The school in Atlanta is excel
lently managed by Prof. W. H..
Pierce, an able young gentleman
who is a graduate If Yale College
and a new but very promising re-
cruit in the ranks of our nations
While, with one excep-
ton, there are at present no pupils in
the advanced courses of study. there
is every reason to believe that under
the present able and efficient man
by the close Of this term
rapid steps will have been made by
the pupils in the march of intellec-
tual improvement.
