AN ALLEGED SHORTAGE.
Ex.Sheriff G. A. Robinson, of S0c0rro,
Claims That His Official Accounts
Will Come Out All Right.

Elk. Sheriff Robinson, Of Socerro county,
now engaged in the peaceful occupation
of running a pineapple farm at Eden,
on Indian river, Florida, writes Secretary
Miller to inquire how it is that he has
been unable to get a final settlement of
his accounts with the territorial auditor.
Then Mr.. Robinson grows warm under
the collar and says:
81 see the New MEXICAN brands me as
$4,000 short which is a lie made out of
whole-cloth, and the editor knew it when
he published it,"
For the information of ex.Sheriff Rob-
inson and his friends the New MEXICAN
would state that the "branding" was done
by the San Marcial Bee, of Socorro county,
and the New MEXICAN simply reproduced
the statement as q matter of news; being
newspaper, the New MEXICAN has habit
of doing these things, sometimes very I'M
pleasant to ex-Republican officials, to be
sure. The first news of Mr.. Robinson's
shortage was brought to Santa Fe by
District Attorney Williams, who stated
that he had been laying awake nights to
ferret it out, SO cleverly had the books
been manipulated. However, be this as
it may, the New MEXICAN is pleased to
give Socorro's ex-sheriff credit for his
contention that, when his accounts shall
have been finally settled by the terri
torial auditor, they will be found to be
straight in every particular.

city, although the drought is so excessive
that constant sprinkling has to be resort
ed to, to keep the flowers, grass and vege-

WHOSE Is IT?
Does the City Own the Fire Fighting
Apparatus or is 1t Private
Property?

Property owners have become aroused
ment and the controversy which has for
the past year existed between the tiremen
and the city council, and there is gem
eral desire to havea final settlement. All
admit the inefficiency of the fire depart
ment at present, and not few tax payers
express surprise that the city council
should have voted it an appropriation
before first ascertaining what interest the
city as corporate body has in the fire
apparatus, and without, at any rate,
specifying for what this $3.50 should be
used, particularly since it is notorious
fact that some of the members OF the fire
company, whose weakness runs to dances
rather than to duty as first class tiremen,
insist on having hardwood floor laid in
the hose house in order to make it habi-
table for social gatherings.
These firemen contend that the city has
no rights in the fre-fghting apparatus
now in use. They say it is the individual
property of the members of the fire de-
partment, and they have had the ex-
quisite nerve to solemnly offer to sell it to
the city, saying they would divide the
proceeds among themselves and quit.
By its appropriation of Monday night
the council has tacitly given its consent
to this view of the case, and herein exists
the fact that has served to bring out the
protests of citizens. This fire apparatus
certainly belongs to the city; it was bought
and paid for by money subscribed by
property owners for the purpose
of securing protection for life and prop
perty from fire, and if the fire department
is right in now claiming it as private
property it was certainly wrong in the
beginning in soliciting public aid under
the pretense of devoting it to a public
fire service. The sentiment of business
men is that, until this controversy is set
tied and the city ascertains whether or
not it has any fire apparatus, the council
had best go slow in appropriating any
more of the public funds to help out
private enterprise organized apparently
chiefly for social purposes and enabling
favored few to pose as Santa Fe delegates
at the meetings of real New Mexico fire.

counts due the New Mexican Printing
company must be paid. A frst-class
newspaper, whose policy is the up-build-
ing of every part of New Mexico, is this
journal, and it takes money to keep the

sderate and pay their bills promptly it
will enable the management to go still
further in widely advertising to the
world at large New Mexico's splendid re-
sources, SO little understood by the aver
age reader, and which must be fully re-
vealed before our territory can hope to
secure its share of capital now seeking

please consider this matter from purely
business standpoint and act accordingly.

FILED A PROTEST.
The Rio H0ndO Mining Co. Object to a
Survey Being Made of the
Arroyo HOndo Grant.

The Rio Hondo Gold Mining company,
the Rockingham Placer Mining company
and others representing outside capital
invested in the Amizett mining district,
through their attorney, George L. Hodges,
of Denver, have filed with the commits
sioner of the general land Office a protest
against surveying the Arroyo Hondo
grant, in Taos county, and have served
notice of the protest upon Deputy U. s.
Surveyor Sherrard Coleman, who went to
survey the grant few weeks ago, but
returned last week without having &C.
complished his mission.
The company was organized October
~, 1892, aud owns among other placer
claims the Squedunk, Carmencita, Hawk
eye, Keystone, Amizett, Denver and Hum
boldt, all situated on the Rio Hondo and
comprising an aggregate area of 621, 497
acres of surface ground. The protest
sets forth that prior to the requirement
of the claims by the company the same
had been surveyed by W. W. Follett, U. s.
deputy mineral surveyor, for patent
and the said survey was approved by
Surveyor General Hobart. The entry of
the lands and payment therefor was pre-
vented by the filing of pretended pro-
test and notice of adverse claim on the
part of Julian Martinez ct. al, as owners
of the Arroyo Hondc land grant. The
complaint further declares that the true
boundaries of the said grant do not ex-
tend easterly to sufficient distance to
come within at least ten miles of the
most westerly boundary line of the said
placer claims. The claim is said to be
based upon an erroneous description of
the grant.
The petitioners allege that the grant
claimants seek to extend the true boun-
daries of their grant 80 rs to include
therein valuable tracts of mineral lands,
thus defrauding both the government and
the people.
The entire protest, which is volumin-
GUS document, is based upon alleged
fraudulent errors in the decree of the
court of private land claims confirming
the Arroyo Hondo grant. The petition
ers also earnestly protest against the
special instructions given by Surveyor
General Easley for the survey of the
grant.
In addition to this the miners also al
lege that the original grant, made in 1915,
especially exempts all mineral lands.
Surveyor General Easley does not
think the protest will have any weight
with the commissioner of the general land
Office at this time for the reason that un-
der the rules protest can not be enter
tanned until after the survey is made, when
those objecting to it have ninety days in
which to file protest. It is then sub
mitted by the surveyor general to the
court of private land claims which either
rejects the protest or amends the decree
of confirmation.

1t has been raining for three days over

May and June rains are most e1traordi-
