The Third Ward.

Over 1926 Democrats of the Sd ward
assembled in Armory hall. 1t was the
largest gathering of the Democracy
ever held in the Sd, and consequently
enthusiasm was not slow in manifesting
itself. The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. j. s. Candelario who stated its
object, and in short speech predicted
victory. Mr.. Felipe Delgado was elected
chairman, Joe. Cienfuegos secretary and
Chas. Brosier interpreter.
Mr.. Delgado upon assuming the chair
made short speech of acceptance. He
dwelt upon the necessity of party har-
mony, and adjured those present to
buckle on the armor and fight the enemy
until the final victory is scored.
A committee was appointed to name
the delegates, and while they retired to
select the names the meeting proceeded
to nominate candidates for councilman
and member of the school board. Mr..
McCabe was nominated for councilman,
and he YVES unanimously endorsed by the
meeting. Mr.. McCabe in accepting the
nomination made glowing Democratic
speech, full of telling points. He sailed
into the Republican party and handled the
boodlers without gloves.
Mr.. Gavino Ortiz was nominated for
member of the school board, and he was
also unanimously endorsed by the meet
ing. In accepting the nomination Mr..
Ortiz promised, if elected, to endeavor
by all honest means to put the schools of

THE TERRITORIAL TAX.
The Auditors Levy Sent to County
BOards-A Marked Reduction
Over Last Year.

Territorial Auditor Demetrio Perez is
to-day sending out to the clerks of the
various county boards of commissioners
a communication, the substance of which
is as follows:
81 would respectfully call the attention
of your honorable board to the provisions
] of the acts of the legislative assembly be-
low quoted fixing the rates of territorial
taxes to be levied upon the taxable prop
erty in the territory, assessed by the coun-
ty assessor in the year 1894, to defray the
expenses for the 4Gth fiscal year.
"For territorial purposes (Sec. 3, Chap.
81, laws of 1889, mills on the dollar.
ssFor casual deficit bonds interest Sec.
| Z, Chap. 81, laws of 1889, 25-100 of mill
on the dollar.
"For territorial institutions (Sec. "a,
Chap. 81, laws of 1888, l $1,000 of l mill
on the dollar.
"For cattle indemnity fund, as provided
by Sec. 23, Chap. 106, laws of 1889.
II have the honor to further inform you
that in conformity with the act of the
| legislative assembly entitled San act to
establish public schools in the territory
of New Mexico" ETC., approved February
-, 1891, a levy of two (2) mills on the
dollar is made by me upon all taxable
property in the territory for the support
of said public schools.
"The above levy has been submitted by
me to the solicitor general of the terri
tory for his advice, and copy of his
opinion is herewith inclosed for your in
formation, and this IN ordeHthat your
honorable board issue your orders to the
assessor of your county to make the en-
tries of said levies, and make the distribu
ton upon his tax rolls accordingly, and
that you also direct the collector of YOU
county to proceed to the collection O
said taxes in accordance with the law"
The communication of Solicitor Gen
eral Bartlett which the auditor refers tt
says:
"These rates of levy are all provided
for by specific direction of the last legis
lature except the levy for casual defci
bonds interest, which is required to b
"a tax annually sufficient to pay the in
terest," and thslevy for public schoc
: purposes, which can not exceed mills
Your leviss for these purposes appear t
have beeh carefully made and are onl
sufficient to meet the demands, and you
levles seem to mo to be in strict cor
I formity to the law, and should be extent
ed in the various counties as laid by yo'
"In this connection, I desire to cor
! graduate the tax payers of the territor
upon the very marked reduction in tn
. tax levy for territorial purposes, it bein
i, 2O-10O mills less than it was last year,
i. relief which will be highly appreciate
: by the tax PAYERS of the territory"

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Some Changes That Are Going On
Local Trade Moves That Mean
Confidence in Santa Fe.

Julius H. Gerdes, the haberdasher who
has SO long occupied the Delgado store
room at the corner of Frisco and Gaspar
avenue, Yesterday vacated the place and
removed to the Catron block. Temper
arily he will occupy a part of the room
used by Mr.. Wientge until the apartment
on which he has five year lease can be
fitted up with shelving and counters.
It is said gentleman from Taos will

room is being pushed to completion, and
the new firm will open for business about

manent residence here, his family having
already arrived in the city. Mr.. Walker

shrewd and active young business man
and will prove valuable acquisition to

and Loan association has been removed
from the Second National bank to the
Griffin block.

their insurance Office to the Wells-Fargo
G. Co.'S. room in the First National bank
| block.
Advertisers should bear in mind that
the New MEXICAN has large and steadily
growing circulation in the mining camps
at Cochiti, and that if they desire to Sc.
cure share of this business they must
reach the new arrivals over there through
these columns. The NEW MEXICAN will
tomorrow send representative into the
district to remain there some weeks in
gathering data for an exhaustive write NJ
and securing business for Santa Fe. Loca
merchants should show their apprecia
tion of this sort of enterprise by Literally
patronizing their home paper.

Rich Strikes,

The big strike on the Richmond 200
foot level at Hillsboro is breaking all
previous records in that remarkable
mine. Twelve ounce gold ore in carload
lots is something worth talking about.
There are mighty few camps on this con-
tinent that show anything better.
Two prospectors brought some ore
struck in the Cedar Grove district into
Deming Thursday evening, which assay
ed over 1900 ounces in silver. The
strike was made Wednesday, and 1t was
upon property owned by McKeyes and
Burk. The ore runs in six inch vein,
and there appears to be plenty of it.
Parties left for the camp to investigate.
