TEACHERS SELECTED.
NEW PRINCIPAL FOR THE HIGH
SCHOOL,
Committee on Teachers Ready to Make
Their Report the Board of Educa-
ton. Two Changes in the
present COrps,
Present Corps.

Their Report to the Board of Educa-
ton. Two Changes in the
Present Corps.
The committee on teachers of the city
school board have held several meetings
lately for the purpose of selecting teach
ers to be reported to theboard for ele:-
ton.
The last meeting of the committee
was held Thursday afternoon, when
teachers for all the grades were agreed
upon except that of principal OF the
primary department.
Professor j. r. Hankins, who has held
the principalship of the high school de-
partment for two years, was not an appli-
cant for reelection, and Professor Edward
E. Britton, of North Carolina, was agreed
upon as his successor. Professor Hank
ms, who hasn't superior IN the state as
teacher, has several good places open
to him, but has yet determined which
he will accept.
Professor Britton has had large ex-
periehce in graded schools, and has the
reputation OF being one of the very best
teachers in North Carolina.
The committee decided to recommend
for reelection Misses Ware, Ingram,
Slade, Finch and Marshall, all of the
present corp of teachers except Miss
Mitchell, who was not an applicant for
reelection.
Miss Mitchell is conscientious, pains
taking and capable teacher, and is quite
popular with both the board of educa-
ton and the patrons of the school.
There is only one place to be filed yet
the principalship of the primary
department.
The board wants APPLICATIONS from
trained teachers for that position.
For the principalship of the negro
school, j. T. Russell will be recommend
ed for reelection, and Bragg WELDON
will continue as assistant if the number
of pupils warrant two teachers.

TERRITORIAL FINANCES.

The territory's 45th fiscal year COM
menced on Monday last, and those who
are interested in New Mexico finances
will find the quarterly statements of the
territorial auditor and treasurer, appear
ing on the third page of this issue Of the
New MEXICAN, more than usually inter
esting.
All things considered the showing these
statements make of tho territory's fin
snces is very aatering, particularly since
they are based now for the first time upon
the new revenue law which allows for the
payment of taxes twice year, one-half
in January and the other half in July.
By reference to the treasurer's report it
will be seen that, for territorial purposes,
for which the appropriation is $4,000,
over $4,000, or nearly 40 per cent of the
necessary funds, are already in hand. The
territorial institutions fund also makes a
promising exhibit, showing as it does
over 600 now on hand for use during
the coming year, while in the deficit fund
there is upwards of $4,000, which will
enable the territory to pay for not few
"dead horse" debts originating during
the past year. Not the least en-
Pertaining feature of the treasurer's
report consists of statement showing
the names of the several banking institu-
tions and the amount of territorial funds
deposited therein under the law which
authorizes the treasurer to loan out the
public moneys. The footings in this part
of the report show a balance of $181, O39.-
II, but there is one bad feature about it
that can not but attract regretful com.
ment; this is the item of $45,9OsG4, de-
nominated as "funds not available" and
which represent the public moneys now
80 unfortunately tied up in the defunct
banks at Albuquerque, and which, we are
sorry to say, bid fair to be thus kept out
of the treasury for yet a long period of
time. Here is nearly % PEI cent of the
public funds in this fix. If New Mexico
had that money available to-day, along
with the cash balance she has on hand,
the financial showing would be in every
sense frst-class.

New MeyicO's Executive.

All the Democrats and all the decent Re-
publicans in this territory are proud of,
and heartily endorse, the administration
of W. I. Thornton, as governor of the
territory. Many of Gov. Thornton's enc
mics have claimed that he was lacking in
those stern qualities that we're necessary
in an executive; but his course as governor
has most effectually contradicted these
charges. Gov. Thornton don't attempt
to make the ostentatious display that
some of his predecessors have INDUCED
in; but for conscientious and intelligent
discharge of duty, he is setting an exam
pie that his successors be they governor
of state or territory may we'll emulate

An interview with prominent Omaha

has been attracting great geal of inter-

rage throughout the mining districts of
Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana,
Arizona and the Black Hills. The gem

Our Cold Boom.

The development of New Mexico's ex-
tepsive gold fields finds much support in
this city. The organization of panies
to operate in that territory is now a mat
ter of almost daily occurrence. Smelter
and ore treatment companies will follow
and the local effect will be large increase
in the sale of mining machinery of all
kinds, together with heavy deposits at the
local branch mint. New Mexico is as
sured of prosperous season.-Denver

because he has not yet heard of Cochiti,

He is right, there will be boom and an
unprecedented one, and this territory will
in all probability receive more benefit
from it than any other portion of the
country. He is wrong, however, when he
says it will be crazy one. The history
of booms shows that those of the most
stable character have been founded upon
the discovery of the precious metals. The
bankers statement probably grew out of
the fact that he resides in city that is
of a mushroom growth, was founded up
on nothing, boosted into city by town
lot spectators and when the panic came
was SO hard hit that it will never recover
from it. Since the characterization Of silver
the demand for gold has SO increased that
the supply can not possibly exceed the de-
mand. Two-thirds of all the currency in
this country is now in the east. Railroad
stocks and bonds, bank stock, real estate
in the cities and farm lands, are none of
them, at the present time, inviting fields
for investment, consequently those pos
sessing capital look to the mining re-
gions for Investment of their surplus
money. 1t is true that mining boom
often means the loss of money to many
an investor who invests his money fool
ishly in poor prospects. But the word
failure has no connection with mining
boom which is founded upon the exis-
tence of rich ore, such AS the four cam s
will prove to possess.
