DELEGATES ATTENTION |.

Advices from Chairman East state
that OFerrall headquarters will be
opened at the Exchange Hotel, Rich
mond, Tuesday night. All O'Ferrall
chairmen OF county and city delegations,
and all O'Ferrall delegates in delega-

are requested to report immediately
to Judge East or Senator Lawless at the
Exchange Hotel Immediately on their
arrival.
Every O'Ferrall delegate in the State
must be at Richmond on or before the
morning Of August It. If alternates
have been elected either the delegate
or his regularly elected alternate must
be in attendance, as neither can legally
give him another proxy to vote for hin.
II a delegate were given permits

not be raised. But be sure to

Colonel O'Ferrall, as last resort to
their baiiled schemes, are trying to
persuade O'Ferrall delegates, especially
those in counties where the Tyler dele
gates are in the majority, to stay at
home, saying that "O'Ferrall has a
walk over, and your vote will not be
needed. Stay at home and save the
expense" Don't listen to them.

issues to a secondary position.

party can safely and wisely promise a
reduction Of taxation in tho near future,
and should couple it with promise to
investigate and reform certain crude
and obsolete features OF the existing

also to call for the appointment Of a
legislative commission to Investigate
the advisability of appointing a State
board of equalization that all sections
may bear their due proportion of the

by a snow slide. The brunt of the
avalanche missed the engine but it hit

and no trains are moving to-day between

The above remarkable accident calls to
mind similar one that occurred near

hurled down an embankment by snow
slide and eleven passengers killed.
Mail trains on the A., T. d. S. +. are

QUALIFIED TEACHERS.
County School Superintendent Ortiz
Takes Legal Steps in the Interest
Of Good Schools.

At the formal request of J. J. Ortiz,
county school superintendent, District
Attorney Twitchell will institute legal
proceedings soon that will establish a
very important precedent touching the
employment of public school teachers.
In the 4th school district of Santa Fe
county the directors have employed as
teacher one Antonio Ortiz, who holds no
teachers certificate and who is alleged to
be incompetent. The superintendent in
sists that teacher duly qualified and
holding certificate attesting his grade
as teacher shall be employed by the
board. This is the first case of the kind
ever instituted in New Mexico. The dis
trict attorney has conferred with the So
licitor general on the subject and has
been advised that the action of the direc-
tors in district is revolutionary and un-
warranted by law; that the county super
intendent has general Supervision in this
matter, "nor can any teacher be entitled
to employment or pay without having
been examined and receiving the certif-
cate provided fol in section 13 of the
school law of 1891"

MILITARY CONTROL.
Lieut.. E. H. Plummer to Succeed
Agent Shipley as Navajo
Indian Agent.

After fifteen years management under
the civil branch of government the Ma
vajo Indians are again to be brought
under the control of the military.
A telegram came to hand last evening
asking Lieut.. E. H. Plummer if he would
accept the detail as agent at Fort Def
ance and he wired the department COM
mander in the Affirmative. Accordingly
Gen. McCook has recommended his detail
as agent of the Navajo Indians and it is
thought his commission to enter upon
these duties will be announced by the
secretary of war at an early date.
Lieut.. Plummer will relieve D. L. Shipley
who has been agent of the Navajoes for
the past two years, and under whose
regime so much general complaint has
been heard of Indians rowing far be-
yond their reservation and perpetrating
petty outrages upon settlers in San Juan
county and elsewhere along the border.
change for the better may be expected
under the new order of things. The last
military agent of the Navajoes was Major
Bennett of the 9th cavalry who was re-
lieved in 1878.

Favor Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1--we can not al

of Hawaii, and so long as am president
of the United States we shall not do So"
President Harrison thus replied to a
close personal friend who called on him
to discuss the all-absorbing topic of the
day. The president, of course, will await
the arrival of the provisional government
commissioners before definitely determin-
ing what course to commend to congress.
The Hawaiian commissioners are ex-
pected to arrive here tomorrow.
AS to the feeling in the senate, it may
be said that at least four-ffths of the
senst tors favored annexation and there ia
little doubt that majority of the house
is of the same opinion. With every pass
ing hour the Importance of the Hawaiian
island as strategic point is more thor
oughly recognized by members of con-
greSS.

A BONANZA.
Col. Harris Proposition to Consolidate
Rich Mining Properties Near
Kingston.

Col. A. w. Harris, the veteran mine
manager of Kingston, whose success in
handling the great Illinois mine is so well
known, is in the city to meet Judge
Thornton and lay before him the details
of a consolidated mining project of no
small dimensions. Col. Harris proposes
consolidation of the Keystone, vir-
ginian and Templar mining properties
located in the Black Range district, six
miles from Kingston. Col. Harris, Judge
Thornton and prominent New York
capitalists are interested in these several
claims. The contour of the country is
Keystone will command the situa-
tion, through the running of drifts
and cross-cuts, in all three
of the properties and will expose con-
tinuous ore body little less than phenomi-
nal in extent and rich in mineral. COL
Harris is an expert mineralogist and his
long connection with the mines in that
locality qualities him to speak most in
telligently on the subject. The details of
his proposition have been all worked out
most carefully and every point of econo-
my and business has been considered.
Among other things he has with him a
large water colormap showing the topog-
raphy of the country, the trend of the
ore body, ETC., and also sectional view
of the three mines there, their present
workings and the proposed plan for
further development. This map is from
the artistic hand of Mr.. William Harris,
NJ. E., the son of Col. Harris.
In case this plan is carried out King.
ston will be able to boast another bon
anza. The ore body that rests below the
surface of these three properties is not
less than twenty-five feet in width, and
can be readily traced for over 5000 feet.
The mineral is mostly sulphide, with
frequent chimneys of ruby and native
silver, and its value is something like 5000
nor ton
