A NOVEL IDEA.

Nearly all of the gold mining COM
panies Of the United States maintain
their home offices in New York and
i novel proposition is advanced by
the manager of one of these offices.
lie says:
If the Secretary of the Treasury
will put himself in communication
with the owners of gold mines
throughout the country he can cause
the entire gold production of the
United States to be placed at the dis
posal of the government in exchange
for silver coin. So far, at any rate,
Tie mines which / personally pos
sess or direct, | am willing to under
take that their output very con-
siderable amount-shall thus be
dealt with and there can not be any
doubt of every other gold mining
corporation being ready TO do the
same. The assistance thus obtain
able by the government will not in
voive any bond issue and will
not saddle the nation with any in
tercst charge or syndicate remuner-
alton. 1t Will add to the volume of
home currency at the same time that
IT will equally increase the amount
Of il ternational currency in the
treasury.
The mine owner fails 10 state the
extent of the output he controls, but
speaks confidently Of he co-opera-
ton of other mine owners in carry =
ing out his scheme. Il is not bad
idea. 1t would necessitste the pass
ing of 10 new law TO put it into eff
fec, and it would open direct chan
for the flow OF gold into the
It a-ury of the United States. II
ould do no harm to Try it at least.

Santa Fe Water Works.

Santa Fe claims the best system of
water works in the southwest. and a
perusal of appended facts will serve to
set forth the grounds upon which this
sweeping claim is based. 1t will be
readily admitted that an adequate sup
ply of pure water is everywhere and at
all times a potent factor in industrial
and commercial development. Without
water there could be no development at
all, and for purposes of general expan-
sion, water of an indifferent quality, or
of a limited supply is almost as bad as
no water at all. How is the water? This
is the first question that the prospective
home. seeker or tourist asks concerning
the town, city or locality that he pro-
poses to visit. Fortunately Santa Fe can
give prompt and satisfactory answer to
this important question - satisfactory
alike to the tourist or the man who
proposes to follow the pursuits of agri
culture or horticulture in this fertile
valley that for three centuries has yield
ed its rich harvests in return for the toll
of the husbandman, in all the various
forms that the products of the soil as
sumo, and yet remains more prolific than
the famous valley of the Nile. giving
forth harvests of marvellous quality and
abundance. From the long period of
time covered by the various systems of
furnishing water for this ancient capital
of Santa Fe and the surrounding valley,
it would require pages for anything like
an adequate description, SO in this article
we will contine ourselves to mention of
the present system. which naturally
covers wider field and fills heavier
demands than any preceding system.
AS matter of fact the systems in for

population of 5000, Santa Fe is up to
date in modern improvements, contain
ing an excellent system Of water works,
100000, electric light and gas plants.
The architecture of two different
ages stand side by side in strange con-
trast. Handsome modern structures look
down upon the hat-roofed adobe build
ings of the sixteenth century. The lat
ter are habitable and in many cases
elegantly furnished. They will stand for
years to come.
In the matter of schools and churches
the city is we'll supplied. The facilities
for education are ample and nearly all
the religious denominations are repre-
sented. The Catholic institutions are
most prominent and the first established,
Santa Fe having been the home of that
denomination in the southwest for many
years. 1t is the headquarters of Arch
bishop Chapelle and the residence he
occupies is landmark. The Cathedral
of San Francisco is large stone editice
of beautiful design. Another large
church edifice is dedicated to the use
of the Catholic parishioners. The Pres

Episcopalian churches. The Sisters of

Santa Fe will accommodate several
hundred patients.
st. Michael's College founded by the
Christian Brothers in 1859, the first col.
lege in the territory, is the alma mater
of numbers of the leading citizens.
Santa Fe also contains the Academy of
Our Lady Of Light, in charge of the
Sisters of Loretto, the Oldest girls school
in the southwest, it having been estab-
lished in 1852. The Presbyterians have
a girls school here, known as the Mission
House. The two Indian schools are
points of attraction and interesting
places to visit, as is also the territorial
penitentiary located short distance
west Of the city.
The city government is composed of

100000 and contains valuable coal de-
posts, which are most extensively
worked at Cerrillos, and her mining in .
terests in the matter of precious metals
are considerable. The soil. however. is
the greatest source of wealth to Santa
Fe county and is destined to be utilized
for fruit growing to an extent not now
realized. The valley Of the Santa Ee
river appears to be natural fruit belt,
where may be successfully grown ap-
pies. pears. peaches, plums, nectarines.
apricots, cherries, raspberries strawber-
rles, gooseberries, currants, grapes of a
delicious flavor and all kinds of melons.
The soil, climate and water supply all
combine to render it fruit growing
region of undoubted virtue, conditions
that have only within few years been
appreciated. The fruit industry of this
county is now growing one, the ship
ments by express aggregatng approx
mately in the neighborhood of 100000
per year, in addition to the consumption
OF the home markets. In excellence and
flavor the products of Santa Fe county
orchards surpass the California fruit and
command higher prices. Other products
OF the county are peas and beans (exten-
sive fields of which are raised), alfalfa,
corn and other small grains. and in fact
a round of diversified crops. possible to
be grown in no other section of the Unit
ed States except New Mexico
Santa Fe is the county seat of Santa
Fe county and the people have erected
a large and substantial court house, con
tanning all the latest paraphernalia for
transacting the public business. The
county offices are filled by corps of
competent, honest public servants, as
follows: Sheriff. w. p Cunningham;
clerk, A. p Hill; treasurer, H. b. Cart
wright; superintendent of public in
struction, Cosme Herrera; assessor,
Francisco Gonzales Baca; commission
ers, Charles w. Dudrow, William G..
Rogers, Pedro A. Lujan.
Espanoa and Santa Cruz valleys,
twenty-five miles north of Santa Fe.
are irrigated by the Rio Grande and
water is plentiful. Their altitude is $500
feet and the land compares favorably
with any in the territory. A Mormon
colony is settling in the upper portion
with the intention of engaging almost
exclusively in fruit culture. Choice
fruit lands may be had in this region at
from S25 to 500 per acre. They lie with
in mile or two of the Denver a. Rio
Grande railroad, which affords ready
accessible means of shipment to the
north or south and puts the farmer in
easy communication with Santa Fe as a
base of supply.

mer vogue would be found, by reason of
the development of the past few years,
entirely inadequate for present needs.
In 1880 local company was organized
for the purpose of putting up plant and
supplying the town. Twelve years later
this company was reorganized with a
capital stock of 100000 and work com
menced on an enlarged scale, which
found contamination in the present sys-
tenn.
An immense reservoir was formed
about three miles from town in the foot
hills, by constructing dam in broad
cafion This work is of earth-work on
bed rock foundation $50 feet thick at the
base and 85 feet at the deepest point. 1t
is one Of the largest reservoirs in the
southwest, having acapacity of one hun.

not only sufficient to supply the town,
but also furnishes a great deal Of water
for irrigating suburban farms and gar
dens.

besides furnishing the town with forty

Both corporations, by the way, which
are rendering satisfactory service to the
people of Santa Fe and vicinity, are
controlled by the Municipal Investment
Company, of Chicago, and, for purposes
of economy, are under one management

Mr.. c. H. Lamar.

This gentleman is in charge of the
normal class and sixth grade, which are
the highest points taught in the Indian
schools the studies embracing United
States history, grammar, geography,
arithmetic, reading, writing and spelling,
while their present studies embrace
special course in algebra and geometry.
Mr.. Lamar is native of Pennsylvania.
and graduated in Indiana. He is one of
the most talented teachers in the Indian
school service, and, although he entered
his present position little over year
ago. the results achieved have been very
gratifying. He teaches the sixth grade
in the morning, and in the afternoon
the normal class.
By patience, kindness and sympathy
Mr.. Lamar has endeared himself to his
pupils, and the efficiency Of his scholars
and their general good behavior are, in
a great measure, due to these admirable
traits in his character.
Too much credit can not be given to
this gentleman for the work he is accom-
plishing and his untiring efforts to sue
coed.

Hon. Charles Franklin EasleY.

Charles Franklin Easley, surveyor
general of the territory of New Mexico,
is native OF Missouri. born July Both,
1853. He comes of an old southern family,
established in the Carolinas prior to the
American revolution. He was educated
in his native state and came to New
Mexico in 1880, engaging in government
surveying, real estate. and mining, study
ing law meanwhile, with the intention of
making speciality of land law, in which
line OF practice he has attained high
degree of success since his admission to
the bar, being regarded as authority on
land titles and everything connected
with this intricate subject in New
Mexico
In 1885 Mr.. Easley was appointed
register Of the land office by President
Cleveland, resigning after service of
two and one-haf years to give more at
tention to his extensive professional and
business interests.
In 1891 he was elected to the terri
torial legislature, and was instrumental
in passing the territorial school law,
also figuring conspicuously in defeating
a measure, looking to the removal of the
capitol from Santa Fe. He became
president of the board of equalization,
but resigned this position to accept the
appointment of surveyor-general of the
territory, a position which he won over
thirteen applicants.
He served as a member of the city
council in 1894 and 1895, during the lat
ter year being elected mayor of Santa t'e.
For this latter office he was nominated
by reclamation by the Democratic con-
vention, and put in the race against his
own wishes. Once nominated. however,
he made strong fight for the place and
won. Always staunch Democrat, Mr..
Easley is very far from being mere
politician, and his capacity for business
is amply attested by his varied interests
in this direction. He is member of the
John Shaw Cattle Company, with head
quarters on the Pecos, and was one of
the organizers of the Mutual Building
and Loan Association of Santa Fe. His
standing in the leading fraternal socie-
ties, compares favoraby with the esteem
in which he is held along business,
social political, and professional lines.
In Masonic work he has passed all the
degrees in the York and Scottish rites;
and as K. P. he was one of the organ
izers of the grand lodge of the territory,
of which order he is now serving his
second term as supreme representative.

Col. T. M. Jones.

Too much credit can not be given to
those men who have devoted their lives
to the teaching of the savage and
through whose instrumentality our In
dian schools have reached state of
progress and efficiency never before at
tanned. Prominent among those who
have made study of the methods
adopted to civilize the Indians we are
pleased to note the subject of our
sketch, who is superintendent of the
of which full descriptive account APP
pears in this issue.
This gentleman is a native of Hamp-
ton, Va, and was educated for mill
tary career at West Point. He was in
the class of 1853 with Generals Sheridan
and Schofeld.
At the outbreak of the civil war he
was with the Eighth U. s. infantry, but
his sympathies being with the land of his
birth, he rendered his resignation to
President Buchanan and it was ac-
copied In 1861 he entered the confed.
crate army as adjutant general. His
record in the service is one of daring
and bravery, and it can be said of him
that he ever realized that
Zone crowded hour OF glorious fame
Was worth an age without Il name.
Three years ago he was appointed to
his present position, he since having
charge of the institution.
Patience, tact and great executive
ability are the qualities necessary to
successfully discharge the duties of man
aging the above undertaking, and it can
safely be said that Colonel Jones pos.
sesses all of them.
His term as superintendent has been
singularly successful, and his calm, i'm
partial treatment of both scholars and
teachers have won for him their respect.
Mrs. Jones is also native of the south,
being member of one of the old southern
families. She is an affable, accom-
plished lady, whose company is highly
priced by her many friends and acquaint-
ances. Their home is made bright by
the presence of two charming daughters
who are universal favorites with all who
know them.
