SANTA FE, May I'd, 1892.
Hon. T. B. MCCoURr,

HoN. T. B. McCoURr,
My DEAR SIR-By authority conferred
upon me by the Brooklyn meeting of the
Department of uperintendence about
the national public school celebration on
Columbus day, l have the pleasure to
appoint you as chairman for your county,
and trust that you will take a personal
interest in seeing that the day is prop
erly celebrated
The 4OOth anniversary of the discovery
of America, Oct. 10Th, 1852, promises to
be the most memorable of all the cen.
tennial observHnces through which we
have passed.
That day will be marked in Chic lgo,
by the dedication of the Worlds Expo
sItion grounds. The public schools
everywhere should be the center of local
demonstrations.
The public school is the proper leader
for a truly popular celebration. The
public school is the one characteristic
institution which links all neighborhoods
together and forms common bond for
a united movement. No other institu-
tion is SO universal, no other lies SO close
to the hearts of the people.
The public school also is the greatest
product of the four centuries Of our
American civilization. 1t ought with
one voice to claim its right to prominence
in Americas 400th anniversary.
1t is earnestly urged therefore, that
every superintendent and teacher in this
Territory begin at once to make prepa-
ra tions for this observance. Let not one
school be left out Let the exercises be
worthy Of the day. In this connection
it is appropriate to call attention to the
importance of schools being provided
with an American fia1. Every school
should procure one. The chairman Of
the executive committee OF the public
school celebration, Mr. Francis Bellamy
Of the Youths Companion, Boston, will
be glad to give pract cal suggestions
whereby flag money can be easily raised.
Yours very truly,
AMADo CHAvRs.

More mining, prospecting and develop
ment work on new locations is being
done in Lincoln county this year than
ever has been done in the past. Almost
imperceptbly to our citizens, additional
work is being commenced every day and
the mineral districts are being filled with
wielders of the pick and shovel and drill
and hammer. The sturdy pioneer
miner and prospector yeomanry will
bring forth our precious metals. We
may all look forward to important dis
coveries and rich strikes of permancy
this year.

A sale is isreported to have been made
of coal claim by T. B. Wilson to L. d.
Puckett, both residents of Nogal, for
Il ,25O, also another for 1880.
The EAGLE has continuously kept
the Salado coal fields before the
public view and if this report as correct
it would lead to the conclusion that res
idents of this county have faith in the
fields. However, those who understand
the handlingof coal lands or operating
them will realize that to be able to do
either successfully, coal must be held in
large bodies, although each claim is val
uable when shown to contain good coal
in quantity.

ShlADO COAL.

Authentic information is at hand show
ing that the larger portion of the Salado
coal fields are developing so as to show
the measure on each claim. The claims
held by residents of the two townships
In which the measure exists have been
pooled" The pool" consists of great
many neighbors who thus unite their
holdings SO that all may be benefited
by each other. As the EAGLE under
stands the matter these neighbors rep
resent almost all Of the coal field, so sit
uated as to practically control the field,
with the points on the line OF the feasible
railroad routes containing coal entirely
covered, their lands being the best veins
and easiest of access adjoining these
routes. This body of land is for sale at
a very reasonable price and will III its
present shape be most likely to be sold
soon to representatives of large com
panies. Only strong companies will be
able to work the coal, probably in CO.
operation with some railroad parties.
There is considerable excitement in
mining circles over reported strike
made by Messrs. Rowe, Preston and
Tate. The EAGLE does not feel warrant
ed yet in creating undue interest IN the
matter, nor do the owpers of the new
find feel warranted in announcing any
thing extraordinary until they have
tested the vein by more development.
1t is stated however that the first rock
panned" last Saturday and that taken
out yesterday is rich in gold and the
vein widening. The EAGLE hopes the
"boys" have bonanza.

The FL Paso Times is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Jay Gould is the
owner Of "a large amount of coal land
near White Oaks, and Ell Paso needs
coal" The purchase is not of record
yet IN Lincoln county although it is
probable that the tract referred to is that
known as the Williams coal land pur-
chased several years ago by G. p Hunt
ington. The EAGLE hopes that Gould
does own it and will build to it.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS,

Judge Elbert Is not at all frightened
for the progress OF the Ell Paso Short
Line on account OF Jay Gould's manen-
vers in the South. He is impressed with
the idea that the new road is quite able
to meet the present and threatened
manipulations Of the Little Wizard
about Ell Paso.
80 far as can see, aaid he yesterday,
"Goulds efforts down there won't inter
fere with our road at all. He has simply
bought little road running out ten miles
from El Paso. 1t does not mean neces
sarily that he will build into White Oaks.
There's nothing there that he wants.
His idea was to secure the shipping
over the Texas Pacific OF the material to
be used by the government in construct
ing the new military post few miles out
of ri Paso. That is the whole story
II he had wanted to build to White Oaks
he need not have bought the little road;
thepeople would have given it to him.
Ii he should take a notion to build up
there we will have to get around the
difficulty in some manner. We can con
meet with him or parallel him. At any
rate, whatever he may do, the short line
will be built. The work now in hand,
preparatory to real operations, is moving
along in gratifying manner and see no
reason whatever to feel discouraged" +"

The handbill caused imme be excite
ment. Plummer waited till his enc
mics began to use it on the stump
against him, then he came out with
the printed declaration of Gen. Fox,
that the handful was an infamous lot

chastise the author of the handful il

In 1885 Plummer fell into snare
that proved to be his destruction. He
had been the champion of the poor
and ignorant against the rich and
learned. This latter class called him
to Natchez and captured him. He had
stood on his own platform: "Plummer

The Iuka Springs Hotel has done the
best all-year- business this year
Of any time in its history. The crowd
has not been unusually large at any
time OF the season, but there has been
a steady patronage, and though the
summer has gone, many guests remain,
loath to leave the place where they
have so pleasantly spent the summer
Capt. Watson has spared neither abor
nor money to make everything conven-
lent and comfortable for his guests, and
we wish him success.

The Iuka Normal opened up Tues
day with fair attendance. The local
patronage to this institution has mover
| been what it should be. There has
been sad lack of harmony existing
| between some OF the board and school.
as to who is to blame we can't say,
but between the two they ought to be
able to reconcile any small differences
OF opinion. The present session has
opend. and so far there is no definite
understanding about the free school.
The local work will be run by Prof.
Dean on certain conditions, and while
we would not cast any reflection on
the Normal, some OF those conditions
are practical impossibili.ies. 1t tends
toward discord and strife. For tar
diness, truancy or absence-three
times OF either, or as many as three
times made up OF all-the pupil will be
suspended until the parent or guardi-
! an makes satisfactory explanation to
the Principal." With this regulation,
those who need worse the advantages
OF the school will be the fl. st to be on
the suspended list While we do not
hold that school is charitable in
stitution. we do think that it should
be willing to make some concessions
adaptable to the community. The
status quo is simply this. the principal
has too hastily formulated this plan,
and as result it will not take well.
We are in favor of regularity. system,
conformity; but it can't some times
be secured at single step. We trust
that there may be no serious conflicts,
and that the school may prosper
