1t will be noted with satisfaction by
New Mexico readers and many others
that Secretary Miller's recommendation
of an appropriation of $4,000 for needed
repairs on the historic adobe palace is
included in the letter of Secretary Carlisle.
The estimate of $4,000 for clerk hire
in the surveyor generals Office is submit
ted as necessary for the proper transact
tion of the current Office work pertaining
to the survey of the public lands; for the
increased work on account of the survey
of small holding claims filed under the
provisions of sections 16 and II of the
act of March 3, 1891, amended February
21, 1898; for the large amount of work
connected with the court of private land
claims, and the survey of private land
claims confirmed by said court, and for
copying the old Spanish archives and
land grant papers now in bad state of
preservation, and which are in daily de-
mand by the attorney for the court of
private land claims and his assistants,
also by the attorneys for the petitioners
for the confirmation of land grants. The
constant daily handling of these old and
valuable archives will soon render the
original illegible and they should be
copied for preservation.
