y. S. BUSINESS IN N. NJ.
L. :. Attorney Fiske Makes Report
ThereOf-FigureS and Facts
From It.

From the annual report of the efficient
T. s. attorney, Hon. L. A. Fiske, the New
MEXICAN gathers the following interest
ing figures as to the business of the U. S.
attorneys Office during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1893, in New Mexico:
New cases commenced during the year:
Criminal, 221; civil, 80; total, 26O.
Cases on docket June 80, 1898: Criminal,
281; civil, 80; total, 500.
Cases disposed of during the year:
Criminal, 237, civil, rs; total, 313.
Gases disposed of in favor of the
United States during the year: Criminal,
1Ol; civil, 36; total 1877
Cases decided against the United States
during the year: Criminal 21; civil, s;
total, 26.
The report shows that the U. S. attor-
ney was in court attendance 149 days or
an average of II cases commenced and
two disposed of during and for each days
attendance, ana an average of about one
case decided in favor of the United States
for each days attendance during the
year.
This is remarkably favorable showing
and one of which U. S. Attorney Fiske
may we'll be proud of as an official and
as a lawyer.

Joe Muliiattan Going East

The famous Joe Mulhattan passed
through the city last night on his way to
New York to consult some people inter
ested with him in the Mulhattan Mining
company and the Bucyrus Placer COM
pauy. He is now engaged in putting in
expensive machinery costing $4,000 on
the Chama river, twelve miles above Abb
.quiu. He had good samples. Camps are
located all along the river, and every pan
full of dirt shows gold. Denver capital
lists have had experts there and the fields
are pronounced to be among the largest
and richest yet discovered. The only
trouble is that the gold is fine and hard
to gather. The depression in silver has
sent many men there. Between Abiquiu
and TERRA Amarillo several large plants
are going in, and the river is staked for
twenty miles. Mr.. Mulhattan is the pio-
neer in this field and he will probably
make the New York reporters eyes stick
out with his fabulous stories of wealth.
The NEW MEXICAN, however, has taken
pains to verify the above and the facts
are practically as stated. Several Santa
Feans are interested in these fields.

THE LAND COURT.
The Judges Decide on Very Liberal
Policy.

The court met at 10 a. M, and after the
reading of the minutes took up case No.
43, the Polvadera grant, in which Messrs.
Howard, Jeffries and Earle had interviewed,
and decided that the motion of the U. s.
made by Hon. Matt. G. Reynolds to dis
miss the Intervention should be overruled.
In No. 80 the case of Aniceto Martinez,
claimant to tho Piedra Lumbre grant, the
court decided that Mr.. Catron should be
allowed to intervene. The motion to
dismiss the cross petition and answer
filed by Mr.. Catron was overruled. In this
case, Mr.. Earle in arguing for the motion,
cited case of much interest to the bar.
1t is a decision of the supreme court of
the United States reported at page so of
the 148 Vol. United States, Reports,
Astriazaran VS. Calabasas Land &
Cattle company, in which it is held that
where two grants are confirmed the senior
one prevails absolutely, and that no
statute of limitations runs against the
rights of tho Oldest grant, until it has
been confirmed. This places new
phase upon the rights of parties under
many large and valuable grants in New
Mexico, and probably in Arizona, and
will have large influence on the cases
before the land court, as it is the latest
opinion of the supreme court.
The Polvadera grant, No. As, was set
down for trial on the 25th inst.
No. so, the Zia, Santa Ana and Jemez,
Howard, Jeffries and Earle, attorneys, was
set for August g.
The demurrer in No. 50, the John Heath
grant, was to have been argued this morn
ing, but was by consent of Messrs. j. B.
Cessna and F. ". Clancy, attorneys for
the claimants, set for July 81. Mr.. Clancy
was compelled to leave town on account
of the illness of his aunt, Mrs. Wiley.
The Canon dc San Diego grant was set
for trial August 2, and the Piedra Lumbre
for August z.
Mr.. +. W. Clancy gave notice that at
some future day he would introduce i'd
ditional testimony in No. II, the Mon
tano grant, No. 70, the Los Cerrillos
grant, and No. So, Juana Lopez grant.
J. H. Purdy was also permitted to in
troduce testimony in No. 81, the I'll Pine
grant.
The court then adjourned until 10 u. IN.
tomorrow, Saturday, July %.

REDUCED FUNDS.
Moneys Locked Up in the Closed AL
buquerque Banks Hard on the
Territorial Treasury.

Hon. r. j. Palen, territorial treasurer
in view of the lock up of 100000 of terri
torial funds in tho closed Albuquerque
National and Albuquerque Savings banks,
has addressed letter to Hon. Demetrio
Perez, auditor, concerning the DISPOSE
ton of the territorial funds now available
in payment appropriations, from which
the New MEXICAN quotes:
II have the honor to inform you that in
view of the recent suspension of the Al
buquerque National bank and the New
Mexico Savings Bank & Trust company,
Of Albuquerque, REIMBURSEMENT of the
available cash balances in the various
funds against which you draw yoar war
rants on the treasurer has become neces-
sary.
according to the figures on my books
the moneys tied up by the suspension of
these banks is as follows:
albuquerque National bank, gen
eraI depository ......... .S2l ,06S rs
Albuquerque National bank, special
depository ...,........ 2S,GtD %
company .......................... $3.50 %
Total ..... ...,....,., sol. iS 40
The total cash balance in the territorial
| treasury at the close of business July 10,
was $122,O49.57. Deductions from this
amount must be made as follows:
Tied UP in albuquerque banks .. s5I.jjS lG
Cash in National Bank OF Commerce,
New York. Observation-Disclosures. I,012 81
Cash items in office, small expenses rs -
------------
TntDl Eo7 90
Leaving the available cash in the treas
ury at $57,441.2s. From this, however,
should be deducted, in my judgement, as
not available for other purposes, under
section s. chapter 81, laws of 1893, the in
terost funds which amount to $3O,36S.36,
this leaves $27,O72.92 actually available
for the regular appropriations, the spe
cial funds and for the territorial in
situations. The balance of these
funds, 44th fiscal year, amount
to $59,334.32, or more than dou-
BILE the cash balance available
for their payment. In view of this etate
of affairs 1t seems TO me that until such
time as the funds in the suspended Albu-
querque banks are released, partially at
least, it will be necessary to assume the
percentage of cash receipts to the appro-
priations for the 44th fiscal year to be 25
per cent instead Of SO per cent, the basis
we have gone on heretofore, and that the
available cash receipts from the special
taxes be rated at one-half the actual re-
ceipts. If this is correct, it will be nee
essary to suspend further drafts against
these appropriations and funds where
the amount already drawn equals or ex-
ceeds rs per cent of the appropriations
and to draw on the other funds only up
to that percentage"

A Receiver for the Albuquerque Saw
inYS Bank

Yesterday afternoon Sec. Alexander
transmitted the report of Hon. L. A.
Hughes as special examiner on the condi-
ton Of the closed Albuquerque Savings
Bank g. Trust company to Solicitor Gen
eral Bartlett, with the request that such
steps be taken as would protect the inter-
ests of the territorial treasury, which has
$4,000 on deposit there.
It seems, in connection with this, that
some of the depositors have applied to
Judge Lee, of the I'd judicial district, for
q receiver for the bank; the matter comes
up on the 29th instant before Judge Lee.
The NEW MEXICAN is informed that the
application is made by some one friend
ly to the bank, as it was expected that
the territory, through its officers, would
make such application.

Heavy KainS Reported on the PecOs.
Mr.. H. B. Cartwright recently returned
from short fishing trip on the Pecos and
reports that there are daily rains on that
river. They begin about noon and last
for two or three hours. Last Tuesday
there was hail storm that drifted two

Over hundred people are camped on the
stream, and everybody seems to be having
a good time. The fishing is tolerably
good but the constant rains interfere.
He says there will be plenty VI water in

New Mexico Should Have this Priyi-
la0H

Executive Commissioner I. B. Mills
writes Gov. Prince that the Santa Fe and
Rock Island transport all Oklahoma ex-
hibits and parties in charge thereof free
of cost to that territory. If this is the
case New Mexico should receive the same
favors. Both should be placed on an
equal footing so far Us railroad facilities
are concerned. The NEW MEXICAN sug-
gests that proper steps should be taken
Immediately. If the New Mexico board
of Worlds exposition managers will g
to work in the right way no reasonable
doubt exists, but that the management of
the Santa Fe railroad will act with usual
liberality and in public spirited manner.

BUILDING ON THE ACADEMY.

Less than week ago the principal of Newtown Academy gave out that more room would be necessary for the efficient accommodation of all the scholars who desire to attend the school, this winter. Owing to the heavy expenditures of the past year, the funds of the Academical association are naturally quite low, es- pecially for building purposes, but upon the matter being presented to several townspeople willingness was manifest to lend a helping hand. A meeting of the Academy trustees was held at the rectory on Monday evening last, and it was then voted to build an addition to the Academy abont 20 feet square, ,one story for the present, in rear of the main building. The work is to- begin immediately. A number of citizens have very generously contributed toward the needed improvement, and it is expected that others will help. The association has made an appropriation of one hun dred dollars.
 Messrs Stewart & Coles have the con- tract for the erection of the annex. Work was begun on Tuesday morning, and the foundation is already nearly completed and the frame work ready to go up. The building will be sealed in- side and finished similar to the waiting room of the derot. It is expected to be ready for occupancy within two weeks after school opens. Principal Cliff has secured subscriptions, up to the present to within about $60 of the required amount and it is hoped that the full amount will be raised by the time the building is ready.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A decision just given out by the Su- preme court and one that will attract a great deal of attention in Newtown, is the one given on the suit brought by John w. Booth for construction of the will of the late Elon Booth. Booths at torney's claimed that the will was void because of certain clauses regarding the disposition of the property after H years. The court decides that the will must stand and upholds the claims of the opposing heirs in every point. The req sons are by Judge Baldwin. This is the second legal fire Elon Booths will has been through and has come out unharm- ed, which goes to show that Elon had a longer head than some people supposed. The attorneys engaged on the case were Davenport and O'Hara for J. W. Booth, Stoddard, Bishop and Shelton for Susan W. Belfield, nominal defendant, ,and Sam uel Fessenden, Samuel Tweedy and w. J. Beecher for number of the heirs and c. H. Peck, who was made one of the defendants because of his interest as eXecutor.

A INDUSTRIOUS CATCH OF FISH.

A fish story of undoubted truth is just now agitating Sandy Hook. On Tues day, those expert fishermen, Jerome Judson, Edward Taylor and Frank Me- Gran, visited Taunton lake for a days fishing. When they started for home, they had just 27 pounds of fish, which an old Tauntonite declared was the biggest catch ever taken out of the lake at one time. Mir McGran pulled out two bass weighing five and three and one-quarter pounds respectively, while Mir Taylor landed one weighing three and one-half pounds. The fishing has not been over and above good at Taunton, this year, but these experts of Sandy Hook seemed to charm the fish. Some of the fish found their way to Newtown Street. Brother Judson will have to look to his laurels, as Mir McGran has safely car ried of the honors.

GRINDING OUT CIDER.

Many farmers thought the apples blown off by the severe storms of no use, hardly fit to feed cattle, but w. c. John son has been very busy, the past week, making cider, and the juice seems to be of very good quality and excellent color. Mir Johnson says that where the apples have been allowed to mellow, the yield is good, running from three and one-half to four gallons to the bushel, when run through his hydraulic press. He has ar ranged it so that each customer can have the cider from his own apples, which is an improvement over the old method, and when the farmer is careful in select ing his fruit, the juice, whether for cider or vinegar, will be of the best. Mir Johnson uses two sets of cloths on his press and these are thoroughly washed each day.

THE ACADEMY TEACHERS.

The academy opens on Monday. All the classes, including German, will begin the opening day and all who know the value of beginning with the classes, will be present cn the first days. Miss Lii Han M. French, a graduate of Claverack college, New York, has been engaged as assistant teacher in the academic and pre- paratory work. Miss French is teach- CT of experience and comes well recom- mended. Miss Agnes Sample of Boston is expected to return as soon as the new class room is completed. Miss Grace Goodsell will assist in the intermediate grades, and will take charge of Mrs Rodgers department for the first few weeks of the term. The other teachers, including the music, remain the same as last year. With the additional large class room, more thorough and expedi- tious work can be done.
