Section 90 provides for levy, no
exceeding 8 mills, for the payment
of teachers wages, the purchase OF
lease of school house sites and con
tingent expenses.
Section 2S authorizes the issuing
of bonds. Section "a provides for q
levy not exceeding 8 mills on the
dollar by the territorial auditor, an.
nually, and limits the purpose foI
which it shall be expended to gtain
purposes explicitly set out, png
which the purchase Of scho ites
and the erection of houses do not
appear. The temporary school fund
provided for in section 35 is to be
paid into the county treasury to the
credit of the several school districts
wherein the same are collected
From all which it appears to me that
the only limitation upon the use of
school funds, for legitimate school
purposes, including the purchase of
sites and erection of buildings, is in
the expenditure of mills general
territorial levy, which can only be
used for printing, salary of county
superintendent and paying school
teachers, and that all other funds,
from whatever source derived, may
properly be applied to building school
houses or purchasing school house
sites.
In regard to using money obtained
from licenses paid in May, for the
purpose of keeping the schools open
the necessary length of time, would
say the fiscal year for school purposes
ends on the first of July; the liquor
licences are issued for the period of
twelve months, from the first of May
of each year, and under section So Of
the school law when collected are
paid into the county treasury to the
account of the several school districts
and are Immediately available for
the payment of any legitimate school
expense occurring in the year in
which they are paid.
Very respectfully yours,
EDWARD L. BARTLErT,
Solicitor General of New Mexico.

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDS.

The following is self-explanatorY:
Hon. Amado Chaves, Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, Santa
Fe.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of the Sd
inst, asking if the directors of a
school district can use any other
money than that obtained from the
sale of school house bonds for the
purpose of building school houses, or
whether they can use all the funds
that come TO the district from llcen-
SEES, fines and their proportion of the
the territorial tax for the purpose of
buying lots and erecting houses, is
received, and in reply would say that
section Ia, chapter 20, laws of 1891,
provides that thecounty superintond-
ent shall make a report annually,
showing the amount of money raised
by taxes and paid for teachers
wages, in addition to the amount of
pnblic money raised by tax or other
wise for the purpose of purchasing
sites for school buildings, etc, show
ing that other funds were contem-
plated for that purpose than those
raised by special tax.
Section 81 empowers the directors
TO levy a tax not exceeding 8 mills
for the purpose of providing school
house sites and houses, fuel, teachers
wages and interest on school bonds.

The telephone Is still, TO a very
large extent, an American institution.
Even in England it is but very
slightly appreciated, and in neither
France nor Germany has 1t yet OBJ
tanned anything like a financial OF
commercial foothold. There are far
less telephones in use in London and
Paris combined than there are in St.
Louis, and there seems little prospect
of its getting into general use IN
either of these two cities. This is
the more remarkable seeing that
there is practically no express mes
senger system in either London or
Paris, while the local telegraph serv-
ice is admitted to be uniformly and
atrociously bad.

auIp IS scAacr.

There is no joke about it, affirms
the Washington Star. The gold pro-
duction of the world is steadily de-
creasing from year to year, and il
will not be very long before the sup
ply is practically used up. Not more
than $100,000,000 worth of the pre-
cious metal is now mined annually,
and this is not nearly enough to
meet the demands of expanding COM
merce. OF course new deposits will
be discovered from time to time, but
they will soon be exhausted. Why
is gold so scarce? Simply because
it is heavy. There are only two
metals that are heavier, viz; plati-
mum and Iridium. Remember that at
the beginning the earth was body
of gas. BY gradual condensation it
became liquid, while now the whole
of its mass, save only an outer crust
much thinner in proportion to its
whole bulk than is the shell of an
egg, would be a fluid but for the
fact that it is held together by ire
mendous pressure. Naturally in the
course of its formation about a center
of attraction, the weightier particles
composing the globe gathered about
that center. Accordingly we find
that the earth as a whole weighs
five times as much as water, while
the rocks forming the crust are only
about two and one-half times as
heavy as water.
In ancient times gold was obtained
abundantly from the rivers of Asia.
The sands of Pactolus, the golden
fleece secured by the Argonauts, the
yellow metal of Ophir, the fable of
King Midas, all illustrate the eastern
origin of gold. Alexander the Great
brought nearly $5OO,OOo,OOO of gold
from Persia. Gold also came from
Arabia and from the middle of
Africa by way of the Nile. But all
of these famous sources of supply
are long ago exhausted.
Brazil, which only century ago
was the richest of gold-producing
countries, has now ceased to be
largely productive. The total out
put of the metal from that part of the
world from the end of the sixteenth
century until now is estimated at
800, 100000. All the famous gold
coast of Africa does not at present
yield as much as 100000 a year.
Yet the Dark continent was former
ly noted as the country of gold.
Mummies have been numerously
found in Egypt with massive neck
laces and other ornaments of the
metal.
Herodotus tells us of a king who
loaded his prisoners with golden
chains, that substance being more
common than bronze. Copper was
even worn for ornaments in prefer
ence to gold. The treasures brought
by the queen of Sheba to Solomon's
temple must have been of enormous
value. Since the year 1900 Africa
has produced about S5OO,OOO,OOo
worth of gold, but the supply is
nearly used up now.
The supplies of gold drawn from
the United States are steadily dimin-
ishing. 1t is the same with Australia,
which has yielded for the worlds
use about $l,3OO,OOO worth of the
metal. Not less than 81, 100000, 900
worth of gold has been dug in all
countries since Columbus discovered
America, 400 years ago.

VaIuE our largest Industries

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found that owing to a large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum-
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of a new
building of dimensions 60x140 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filled with operatives, will admit
of working at least GOO people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that 900 operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

shows that the medical men of the

and have not given up their plan of
sending invalids out here for relief
from lung troubles. If the government
is to be requested to donate the land
necessary to make the experiment
why not take the old Fort Union res
ervation for it? Atpresent it is not
in use, it is plenty large enough to
experiment with and would cost very
little, as there are plenty of good
buildings already there that can be
used. Las Vegas would not be the
loser If this were done.
