lated of late to the effect that rich gold
find has been made in the Santa Fe

as oysters.

The Santa Fe county tax rate this year,
including the levy for territorial purposes,
is one cent, six and fifteen hundredths
mills on the dollar. In several of the
precincts the levy for funding school
bonds must be added to this, and thus it
is that in precinct the tax rate will be
1.6 and -hundredths mills on the
dollar and in precinct it will be IL and
fifteen hundrdths mills. In 1889 the tax
levy was 2.40 on the dollar and in 1890
2.35, with a special levy of five mills for
school purposes during both of these
years.
