NEW MExIoog GOVERNORS.
From the Las Vegas Optic.

From the Las Vegas Optic.
The appointment of Col. w. T..
Thornton as governor Of New Mexico
makes not out OF place a brief review
OF the incumbents Of that position
from the beginning Of American occu-
pancy to present time.
On the 18th Of August, 1916, Gencr-
al Kearney appointed as governor,
Juan Bantista Vigil the last secre-
tary of the territory under the repub.
lie Of Mexico, On the 22nd of Sep
tember, OF the same year, Charles
Bent was appointed 70 the office, and
on his assassination, July 17th, 1S47,
Donaclano Vigil was made his success
sor. In 1913, j. NJ. Washlngton com
mandant Of the department, assumed
the civil administration, being follow
ed therein by John Munroe, 1910. In
1851, James Calhoun was appointed
under the organic act, and, dying
June 3Oth of the succeeding year, Sec
retary John Grenier became acting
governor for the remaining two
months. In 1852 Wm. Carr Lave re-
ceived the appointment, and was sue
ceeded in 1853 by David Mcriwether.
Abraham Benchcr followed in 1857,
Henry Connolly in 1861, Robt. Nit
chell in 1866, VIM. A. Pike in 1869,
Marsh Glddings in 1871, Wm, ,G.
Ritch in 1875, on the death of Gid
dings; S. b. Axtell in 1876, Lewis
Wallace in 1878, Lionel A. Sheldon in
1881, e. c. Ross in 1856, L. Bradford
Prince in 1899, and W. r. Thornton in
1898.
OF the eleven governors since 1861,
Connolly was a doctor, Pike was a
preacher, Ross was printer, and the
other eight were lawyers. Seven cut
of the eleven were in the union army.
OF the entire list, not one has filed
the Office with more credit TO himself
and more benefit to the territory than
has Governor Prince, whose term will
so soon expire. If Governor Thornton
shall do as well, he will have the APP
proyal Of the entire people, regardless
Of party differences.

NEW MEXICO COAL.

From the New Mexican.
The United States inspector of
mines in New Mexico, ]. c. Spears, of
Gallup, was in the city this morning
en- route from Cerrillos to Monero. In
talk with the New Mexican he said
that at Cerrillos the White Ash,
Waldo aud Lucas banks are under
way and doing good work The
White Ash employs seventy miners
and about forty day men, and is ship
ping 240 tons per day. The Waldo
mine has thirty-fyc miners at work
and is shipping 100 tons a day; and
the Lucas has thirty-two minors on
development and entry work, and is
shipping sixty tons per day. In all
400 tons e coal per day arc shipping
from the Cerrillos mines at this time.
1t must however, be remembered
that the White Ash and Waldo are
largely engaged in improvement work
and the Lucas in development
BY the 1st of July the Lucas anthra-
cite banks will have a 100000 break
er at work, capable of holding l,O00
tons. Santa Fe6ns may then expect
constant supply Of the best anthra-
cite.
AS to the question of coke Mr.. Spears,
after detailing the objections and
suppositioHs difficulties Of coke baking
at Cerrillos, gaze it as his unqualified
opinion that very good--in fact, the
best coke would be baked at CerrIlos
from this time forward. This will be
another blessing to Santa lie county
and should recommend some sort of
direct railroad extension to Cerrillos
A short line to that point would be
good for Santa Fe. Fer instance, to-
morrow $780, 900 will be distributed to
the men on the Cerrillos coal mine
pay rolls. Santa Fe might just as
well have a big percentage Of that as
any other town.
At Gallup the following are the sta
tistics:
The Mulholland mine is working
Eve to ten miners, with an output of
twenty-five to forty tons. The Black
Diamond has ninety-fve miners and is
shipping 800 tons. The Sunshine,
with forty-three miners is shipping
$50 tons. The Gallup works 147
miners and has an output of 700 tons,
while the Caledonia ships 24O tons
and works forty-eight miners. One
hundred and six day men are EN-
ployed in this district. The Crown
Point, Catalpa and Dun Cannon are
not working.
At Catharge the No. bank hal
drawn its tlmbers and the mine il
abandoned. The best timbers will b,
shipped to Cerrillos. No. mine il
still running with ninety men and Il
shipping twelve car loads per day
At Monero they are shipping Ave ca
loads per day.
Mr. Spears is on his way to Bloss
burg and did not care to anticipat
his report from those mines. He ais
spoke very highly Of the San Jual
coal fields, admitting that there wa
about as much coal in San Juan as Il
the whole state of Pennsylvania.
is plainly to be seen that New Mexico
besides its wealth Of gold, silver, COZ
J. per, iron and other metals, will /
time be the great coal producer of th
. west.

A PORT FOR ARIZONA.

From the Phoenix Gazette
The legislature yesterday passed
concurrent resolution requesting the
president of the United States to open
negotiations with the republic OF
Mexico looking to such a readjust-
ment of our international boundary as
will give Arizona a safe and commodi-
GUS harbor on the gulf Of California.
The effort is timely and is fraught
with great significance to the future
of Arizona. 1t is TO be hoped the mat
ter will command the serious atten-
tion of the president. If done now
the territory can be attached to Ari-
zona without trouble. After admis-
sion, constitutional restraints would
make this difflcult.
The BENEFITS to be derived would
not be confined TO Arizona by any
means, but as the resolutions very
clearly point out, would be shared
equally by the whole west coast Of
Mexico, whose property valuations
would be greatly enhanced and i'm
mense natural resources now lying
idle and useless to humanity would
be rapidly developed. 1t is not gener-
ally known, probably, that the fish
cries at the head of the gulf of Cali
fornia are of immense value, but it is
a fact, and reflection will chow that it
must naturally be the fact, consider
ing that one Of the greatest rivers of
the continent flowing into the head
of the gulf furnishes the conditions
for fish life. 1t is claimed by those
who have looked into the question,
that the quantity aud variety Of fish
are greater than at any other point on
the west coast Of the continent. The
clans are the largest and finest in the
world. The oysters, so far as known,
are not Of the largest ysriety. but are
Of excellent quality, and the quantity
IS believed to he as great as in tI5
waters Of Chesapeake bay.
1t is not question Of purchase-oT
il should not be. The benefits would
be mutual and Mexico would undoubt-
cdly be able to take this view of it, If,
as the resolutions suggest, the case be
'delicately and cncrgeucally present
cd, 50 as not to wound the national
scnsibil!tes Of the people" Honor
might forbid Mexico to sell any por.
tion of her territory, but the same
sentiment would not prevent her from
giving away a small part Of the bcno-
fits to be derived would result in the
development of the rest. 1t would be
a very clumsy and offensive blunder
probably, to offer Mexico Il sum ol
money for the concession desired
She will be anxious to give it away il
the case is properly presented.
The building Of railroads that
would follow the establishment of Q
port with a safe and commodlous har
Dor belonging to the United States
anywhere near the gdlf-sdy about
Piricate bay-would put Arizona tC
the front at once as one of the most
important of western states, and as
sure her career Of great prosperity
through the resulting development o
her vast natural resources. Let tht
matter be pushed.

 The petition of the Arizola people for a new district was rejected.
 Ii is possible that the successful bidders may take the bonds at the modification made by the board of su- peryisors in accepting their bid; but it is doubtful. it would seem that both bidders wanted to make five per cent. on the transactiou-one on the face of the bid, the other by the com
