Modern Prospecting.

In former days pecting for mines
meant encountering untold dangers and
deprivations. Now the prospector can
be compared to a mill hand 10 large
city. He can take his early breakfast
and ride to the scene of his operations, and
return to his home for his supper. At
best he can be but few miles from some
kind of town, and have at least passable
roads to travel, where in the old days he
had to break his own way and "blaze"
trees to mark the path over which he had
come. In Montana, Arizona, Utah and
New Mexico, there is still some roughing
it to be done in prospecting, but even
there there is nothing to be compared in
any way to what has been. Sources of
supply are not SO distant that they can
not be reached under almost any circum-
stances and conditions, and such stories
of suffering as mark the experiences of
only few years ago, in the opinion of
those still in the business, are practically
impossi ble. Globe Democrat.

PUBLIC FUNDS RULING.
Conditions Under Which Tax COllec
tors Can Not Squeeze the Terri
tOriaI Treasury.

In answer to an official inquiry from
Territorial Auditor Marcelino Garcia the
following opinion has been rendered by
Solicitor General Victory:
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your let
ter dated February Is with request for
my official opinion as to whether certain
certificates issued to George Sena, sheriff
of Lincoln county, should be audited by
you. Replying, beg to say that l am
of the opinion that the objections you
make to the form of the certificates are
valid and in accord with the requirements
of careful discharge of your duties as
auditor. lam further of the opinion that
under the act approved February 80,
1895 Laws of 1895, page 55), it ls con.
templated that the auditor shall not draw
warrants covering certificates issued under
that act until he has received from the
clerk of the district court true list of
the certificates issued by him. The pur
pose of this list, which the law requires
to be furnished to your office "immedi-
ately," is evidently, among other things,
to prevent mistakes, whereby the total
amount of certificates might by inadvert,
ance or otherwise exceed the limit i'm
posed by section 2 of the act.
note that you further state that Mr..
Sena is in arrears to the territory for
taxes collected since August, 1895, and
you ask whether, under this state of facts,
he can draw moneys from the territorial
treasury. find in looking over the files
in this Office that my predecessor, Hon.
L, l.. Bartlett, had the same question be-
fore him on March II, 1898. At that time
there were outstanding number of GER
titicates issued IN favor of Francisco
Chavez the late sheriff Of Santa Fe coun-
ty. There were also pending in the dis
trict court of Santa Fe county five suits
against Mr.. Chavez end his bondsmen to
recover large amounts claimed to be due
from him to the territory. In passing
on this state Of facts, Solicitor General
Bartlett advised the then auditor as fol-
lows: "Under the circumstances I think
it would be highly irregular and improper
to issue any warrants in his (Sheriff
Chavez favor or to pay such certificates
or in any manner to allow them except as
a Legitimate Offset against the claims of
the territory" While of course this
oPAAAch 10 NV AL any oouoc OlHuiuB upon
myself, yet it seems to cover 30 fully the
business sense of the present situation
that feel constrained to commend it to
you for adoption as the continued policy
of your Office. If Mr.. Sena wants equity,
he should do equity. He can not fairly
ask the territory to do for him what he
would hardly ask of any private individ-
nal. Careful business men do not, as a
rule, put premium npon delinquency by
financially rewarding it; aud I do not
think law or common sense imposes such
a duty upon the territory. If Mr.. Sena
wishes the territory to pay him he should
reciprocate in advance. To do less is to
violate the principle that ''one good turn
deserves another" and to place the terri
toral treasury at disadvantage not con-
templated by the law.
