STOCK TROUT.

G. G. Ellis, of Albuquerque, is in
the capital today on business before
the U. S. land office. He is very
much interested in stocking the
streams of the Sandia mountains
with trout, and will correspond with
he Las Vegas Rod and Gun club
with a view to a united demand
upon the U. S. fish commissioners to
pay attention to stocking New Mexi
co streams. He thinks those citizens
of Santa Fe, Las Vegas and Albu.
querque who are fond of field sports
should unite in securing stock fish
for the various mountain streams

M. d. Gaylord, of the American
mine, Nogal, informs the White
Oaks Eagle that they were working
on Wine No. l and had reached a
depth of 80 feet, the ore improving
in richness as they went down. Al
a depth of 81 feet, and about three
feet from the old vein, a second vein
or feeder was struck, richer and heav.
Ter than anything yet found, the ore
being decomposed and "lousy" all

about ten days another ten-ton mill
run will be made, with a certainty of
even better results at the cleanup
than the last run of ten tons, which
produced 81, 800.

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

The Las Vegas FREE PRESS takes
sensible view of fair matters. 1t
thinks there might be at least two
other general fairs held in New Mexi.
co with good results to the territory,
but that since such others are not
held there is all the more reason why
all sections should pull together for
the success of the one we do have.
That's a correct view to take of the
subject. There would certainly be
no sense in refusing to utilize what
facilities we have simply because we
haven't all we would like to have.
When steps were taken by parties in
Las Vegas about ten months ago to
organize a district association for
the purpose of having an annual fair
at that place, this journal did every
thing it could to encourage the
movement. And when the people
of that place called their irrigation
convention we did about as much to
advertise the fact as any of the Las
Vegas papers. We do not regard
such enterprises as in any prop
er sense local. OF course a
fair or a convention must
have a location somewhere, but
that does not signify that the ben
efts are to be confined to that local
ity. The people in the immediate
vicinity of the meeting are supposed
to profit by it little more than other
localities, but it usually costs them so
much, in money and labor, that they
come out very little ahead in the
end. The territorial fair, for in
stance, which is well established and
we'll advertised, never paid more
than 80 per cent of It's own expenses,
and the balance has been made up
by direct contributions from the
people of Albuquerque.
But everything of the kind helps
the territory, and all points of the
territory. They keep our advantages
and resources before the public and
help us to draw immigration and
capital. When the fruits, grains or
vegetables exhibited at the fair are
seen by the people from abroad, they
are not known as the products of
Bernalillo, San Miguel or Dona Ana,
but of New Mexico, and whatever
one county does to attract attention
inures to the benefit of the whole.
For this reason it is "business" for
every county in the territory to do
all it can to make the territorial fair
a complete exposition of the products
of New Mexico.-Albuquerque Citi-

One of the first acts of Gov. Flower
of New York, was to appoint Isaac IL.
Maynard to the bench of the Court of
Appeals at the dictation of Senator Hill,
late dictator of the Empire State. May
nard was counsel for the Board of State
Canvassers and gave his word to abide
by the decision of the Court of Appeals
in the senatorial election cases last
December. 1t is now charged that he is
responsible for the theft of the Duchess
county returns, and the evidence is clear
that he is personally responsible for the
action of the State Board reversing the
will of the people and the mandate of
the courts. He is liable to United States
law and may yet repent behind prison
bars. But what spectacle for
the ermine of the Empire State.
When approached by Colonel George
Bliss recently and asked to give testi-
mOny before Judge Cullen as to what he
knew about the missing Dutchess county

his judicial position protected him from
service by subpoena, and he did not
have any revelations to make voluntarily.

clean breast of it, after all, under the

NEWS AND NOTES.

1t is sententiously announced that the
people of Chile are entirely satisfied with
the ending of the fillmore incident. Il
is pity they didn't secure satisfaction
| sooner.
A Vermont correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal suggests that the word
| "tad" is not modern, but is provincial
English. In the Warwi k dialect the
word means "whim," and in at least
two of the dialects the word "faddy'' is
used, signifying ''frivolDus" or whimsi-
cal" Another use of the word is to de-
scribe person who is difficult to please
in tritles, and in chat connection appears
the words ''tO fad" meaning to be busy
with tritles. As would appear from our
correspondent, the word has been in use
among the humber classes in England
for some time. But how did the word
get into current conversation and writ
ing both in this country and in England /?
1t seems to be comparatively new. The
PdH Mall Gazette, in recent number,
seemed to doubt whether the English
people were responsible for it, and WAS
at a loss to account for the present COM
mon use OF the word. If newspapers are
any index, the word is more frequent in
the East than the West, in the city than
the country, in society than business
or among students.
An extraordinary triple marriage took
place in a Swedish town Just before
Christmas. An old farmer, named J.
1oglund, 81 years of age, was married to
a widow, Margaretc Sjnholm, 76 years
old. At the same time were married
their respective children, Jonas Hoglund
and widow Sara SjuqoitSt, nee Sioholm.
And at the same time were married the
latter couples respective children, John
Peter HOgluud, "a years old and Anna
Charlotte Sjoqoitst.
without in any way fostering an often
sive JingO spirit, this Chilean episode
has unquestiOnably led to a better ap-
probation of the need OF an adequate
naval force among reflective citizens.
There is q prevalent impression that
the fOur-scOre modern breechlOadinE
cannon which we had atlOat in the South
Atlantic and Pacific had a good deal to
do with the sudden subsidence of Chilean
belligerenCy. Nor is this opinion confined
to the members of one political party.
