Mr.. Nj. Ktows OF Chicago, Mr.. John
Honghlend of Ntw Albany, Ind, and Mr..
j. A. Mccoy of Evansville, Ind, drove in
from Cerrillos this morning and regis
tered at the Exchange. These gentlemen
are inspecting the mining districts of the
territory, and have been as far south as
Deming.
Colonel W. s. Fletcher, assistant edju
tant general, G. A. R., who has been try
lug for the past nine months to locate
Charlie Burnham, a Massachusetts, veteran,
who was supposed to be in New Mexico
or Arizona, has at last, through the kind
ness of Commodore Charles Haspelmath,
found his man at the city of "Elota," six
miles from Thornton, where he has all the
time been employed as section boss.
Mr.. 0. P. Posey, a partner of Governor
Adams in the famous Tom Boy gold mine
at Telluride, Colo, and one of the most
successful mining men in the western
country, passed through Santa Fe last
night en- route to Bland, Cochiti mining
district.

Clear Case Of Jealousy.

There is trouble over the festival queen
at Denver. Miss Hurd, society woman,
declines to enter the parade. She ac-
oepted the position upon this condition,
and now friends of the young lsdies, who
are maids of honor from 40 counties, OBJ.
ieot. The float built for the queen is
large and expensive. The maids are ex-
pected to parade apd why not the queen,
who has always appeared in liner The
maids friends say the queen is no better
than the maids. There is considerable
friction and the committee is tearing its
hair.-Clipped from the editorial page of
an esteemed exchange called the Optic.
Clearly Miss Hurd mistook her mission.
Doubtless she supposed that all she had
to do was sit serenely in golden chariot
and "herd maids of honor" but it seems
that ''the maids of honor" think she would
look prettier 'afoot" than on "horseback"
or riding in golden chariot. Of course
the natural inference is that Miss Hnrd is
prettier than "red wagon" and that the
"maids of honor" are jealous and would
like to see her superior charms dimmed
BY the dust of the streets.

HON. MANUEL r. OTERO.
A Short sketch of the Newly Appoint
ed Register of tno. santa Fe
Land Office.

Hon. Manuel r, Otero, the newly ap-
pointed register of the land office, ar
rived in this city last night to arrange for
taking charge of the office and to move
his family to Santa Fe.
From Mr.. Otero the following short
sketch of his life was obtained:
He was born in Valencia county In
1841, the son of Judge Antonio Jose
Otero, the first and only Mexican Judge
of the supreme court of the territory. He
was educated in the st. Louis University,
being a member of the graduating class
when called home in 1858 by the death of
his mother. Since 1876 Mr.. Otero has
been an active Republican and has held
various public offices in Valencia county,
among them being those of deputy sheriff,
probate clerk and probate judge. Two
years ago he moved to Bernalillo county
where he has since lived.
Mrs. Otero, daughter and a son, are
expected to reach Santa Fe some time
next week.
Mr.. Otero has sent his bond to Wash
ington, and will take the office so soon as
it has been approved and the transfer
can be made.

HISTORIC SANTA FE.
Mrs. wallace Tells Her Eastern
Friends of the Charms Of the
Old Capital City.

The following is taken from recent
issue of the Massillon, O., Independents:
Mrs. Catherine P. Wallace, writing
from the cool uplands of New Mexico,
describes in a letter to Massillon friends,
a country whose climate offers enviable
contrasts to our own in the light of our
recent sufferings.
"The blankets, not one, but two,"
writes Mrs. Wallace from Santa Fe, shave
never been removed from our beds since
our arrival in July; We have No mosq ui-
toes, and there is nothing in this quiet,
quaint, charming, historic old place to
prevent or disturb rest" When one re-
members that Santa Fe was founded by
the Spaniards in 1910, that it was the
ancient capital of the Pueblo tribes and
that it has been the seat of government
since that time, one understands the ref.
erence to its historic charm. Mrs. Wal
lace is going to live in an old palatio
where the horrors of the inquisition are
known to have been practiced and where
later General Lew Wallace wrote his fa-
nous book, Ben Hur. The latter certainly
offers the most cheerful association. In
addition to the bracing, invigorating
atm sphere, residents of Santa Fe are
blessed with many other of the good
things of life. The first annual exhibit
of the New Mexico horticultural asso-
clation, now in progress, is offering a
display of fruits, grains, and vegetables
which is exciting wonder and admiration
all over the country. II wish," writes
Mrs. Wallace, 'that the people all over
the north and east might see the products
of the great American DESERT for such
our Biographies pictured it, and such we
were taught it was. At the late Worlds
fair in Chicago the wheat grown in New
Mexico on this great American desert
was awarded the first premium and the
oats the second, the last only excelled by
those of Russia"
Among the Inhabitants Mrs. Wallace
describes the quaint, plodding Mexicans;
the Indians, so delightfully."- pleasing and
picturesque, and the Anglo Saxon popu-
latlop, made up of pleasant, cultivated
people from all sections. The charm of
Santa Fe as resort is becoming known.
During this summer the mountains have
been filled with camping parties, scaling
Old Baldy, which towers to height of
IL 900 feet, or catching the unwary trout
which fill the mountain streams. There
have been some notables among the Wis
itors. One of these was Mrs. Schwatks,
wife of the famous explorer. Mrs.
Schwatka visited Alaska with her hus-
band, and her statements regarding the
Yukon country have been widely pub
lished. Professor Libby of Princeton,
has been climbing about among the
mountains, hunting for traces of pre-.
historic occupa pancy-traces which have
already been found in the shape of broken
pottery and implements. tt seems
strange that the exhibit from New Mex
leo should have been placed in the for
eign section at the Nashville exposition.
"It is a wonderfully interesting country"
concludes Mrs. Wallace, "of which our
people in the states know little or moth.
