says:
Fred P. Gayle, of Chaves county, was
two months ago named by the president
to be receiver at the Roswell land office,
but local Democrats down there put on
their war paint and protested 80 loudly
that a change had to be made. Gayle's
appointment was confirmed by the sem
ate, but the charges that went in against
him caused the president to withdraw
his commission. Thus it comes that an.
other appointment has been made.

twelve years and has been merchandis.

The Pecos Valley railway will be
built on to Hagerman, and perhaps Ros-
well. Look at map of the United States

there on. Up the Pecos to Bernal takes
you through fine country. The main
point to be gained by building the Pecos
Valley road at all, is, that it shall be a
link in the shortest land route between
Gulf and Pacific.

EDITOR EAGLE:In your issue of the
1lth inst, l find a communication
signed "Miner" with reference to the
Territory exhibits at the Worlds FAIR,
asking the following questions;
list, Was there any money appropri.
ated for the purpose OF collecting MN.
erals?
2nd. By what authority was that relief
map of Mr.. Carerra's bought, which you
stated, in your paper, cost some $1,000?
3rd Why was 1T that no money could
be spared by the World Fair commits
sioners of New Mexico for the collection
of minerals from Lincoln and other
cou uties, and yet there seems to have
been sufficient money to pay for relief
map, the expenditure for which doesn't
seem to have been contemplated by the
appropriation committee?
4th. Was this $4,000 relief map made
by party competent and skilled in
such work, or could just as good a one
be produced by plasterer with the de-
lirium tremens? MINER
AS you know, have until recently
been the chairman of this Board and
attended all its meetings until the 1st Of
March, since which time | have been
absent, and l am no longer connected
it, having resigned therefrom ] can
however, answer most OF the above
questions,
To the 1st l will say, that there was
an appropriation for the purpose of col.
lecting mineral from the various count
les, and Mr.. Il. 3. Mills, of Las Vegas
was, few days after the passage of the
act of appropriation by the Territorial
Legislature, made executive commissioner
of the board with authority to make
these collections, and | am creditably
informed that he has done so.
My reply to the next question is, that
Prof. Carrera was never paid $4,000 fol
a relief map of the Territory, he only re
ceived $500, it having been made undel
contract. | am informed that the
material cost him more than $500, anC
that he did not receive fifty cents PEI
day for the labor performed on it.
The Sd question cannot answer unit
| learn what has been done since
severed my connection with the board
| am however under the impression tha
money was set aside for the purpose u
collecting minerals from Lincoln county
and that it has been expended in paying
the freight on minerals hauled from Lin
coin county to the railroad.
To the 4th interrogatory will say
that the map was made by competen
and skilled workman, one of the YER
best in the Territory, and l am told tina
it is one Of the most creditable exhibit
OF this or any other state or territory q
the Columbian exposition.
realize that the people have a righ
to know how every dollar of money ar
propriated for the Territorial exhibit a
Chicago has been expended, and shal
always be glad to answer the inquiries o
any citizen in connection with the wor
OF the board, 80 long as | was connecte,
with it, The books of the board or
open for the inspection Of the public, an,
can be seen at any time.
Very respectfully,

THE appointment of G.. r.
Young, of this city, to the register
ship of the Roswell land office,
gives feeling of genuine pleasure
to all who know the favored ap-
pointee. Mr.. Young, some time
since, was the leading applicant
for the position of agent at the
Mescalero Indian agency, but, ow-
ing to ruling of the present ad-
ministration, which placed the af-
fairs of all the Indian agencies un-
der the jurisdic ton of the War de-
partment, the office was thus de-
MED him. Last month, however,
upon learning of the resignation
of Register Cobean, Mr.. Young at
once filed his petition for that va
Gated office. Dick" didn't make
much fuss about it, but he quietly
got in his work with the proverb-
ial lengthy pole on the shady side
of the persimmon tree, for which
the EAGLE extends him hearty
congratulations. While the re-
moval of Mr.. Young, with his
family, from this community is to
be regretted, yet, as he has large
business interests in this county he
will continue to be counted as cone
of u.s." The people of the Ros-
well land office district are to be
congratulated on his appointment.
