Secretary OF the T~reasury's Report.

The report of the secretary of the
treasury. L. j. Gage, not only touches
upon the finances of the nation, which
never before were in such splendid on
ditiCn. but also upon every branch of
publ activity which has been entrust-
ed to that department. The work of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
national banks, the currency, foreign
commerce, customs, Alaska, internal
revenue, immigration, Chinese exclu-
sion, the marine hospital service, inclu-
ding the sanitarium for consumptives
at Fort Stanton, the revenue cutter SER
vice, navigation. light house establish
ment, coast and geodetic survey, secret
service, the money standard and the
currency, are a few of the subjects
which are touched upon. The report
covers 73 printed pages and gives some
idea of the tremendous interests repre-
scented by the treasury department
alone. Of course, there has been pro-
gress along all the lines enumerated
The firm establishment of a money
standard, the new banking act all have
added to the prosperity of the nation,
and this is most manifest in the report
of the secretary of the treasury, who
feels the quickest and the most sympa-
t~hetically the pulse of public prosperity
and we'll being.

He Will Be Reappointed.

The Pecos Valley Stockmen, a Demo-
paper published at Roswell, in
the prosperous and rich Pecos valley,
contains the following note concerning
the disappointment of Governor Otero:
THE New Mexican is advocating the
re-appointment of Hon. Miguel A. Otero
governor of New Mexico. Who the
opposition has or will center upon is as
yet u~nannounced, but it is safe to say
the fight will be long and bitter. From
the standpoint of an outsider we see no
special reason for a change. Governor
Otero has done as well as any other
Republican in the territory would have
done. Everybody knows where to find
him and as we are to have a Republi-
can. there are very few in New Mexico
we would prefer to the present execu-
tive"
The Stockman is one of the few res
pectable and decently conducted Demo
cratic papers in the territory. Hence,
although from a party standpoint OPP
posed to everything Republican, 1t
takes the right sort of a view. Govern
or Otero has done remarkably we'll un-
der some very adverse circumstances
and although opposed by some ambi-
tious politicians in his w party, has
given the territory a clean, honest ant
capable administration which was ap'
proved by the people at the polls on No
vember 6 last. He will be appointed.

American Consular Reports That are Boom

mining and Scientific Press

Mining and Scientific Press.)
The United States government ap-
pears at present to be booming the
mineral development of Siberia. During
the past week three government reports
from Washington. d. c., have been re-
ceived in this office, telling how Won
derfully rich Siberia is. Two OF these
state documents are written by Thos.
Smith, United States consul at Moscow,
Russia, whose imagination seems to
have been fired by the alleged discov
cry, 1000 miles west of the Yenesei riv-
err" of quartz outcroppings carrying
gold, milling $18 per ton. Part of our
Jealous government agents long report
sounds like a promoters prospectus.
The following excerpts will make the
miner smile: THE quartz appears very
lively in all the veins yet uncovered,
and exhibits the marks Of decomposed
sulphurete. 1t is, therefore, highly prob
able that the great majority of the free
gold exists below the water level In the
form combined with iron sulphide. 1t
will, of course, after water level IS
reached, necessitate treatment of chlor-

idation or potassium cyanide. Water
in this particular locality must,
however. lie at considerable depth, so
that the tenor of these veins may be
thoroughly established by the use of
small mills, of free milling capacity,
before the refractory portions OF the
veins are encountered"
In further appeals to his fellow coun-
trymen, Consul Smith vouchsafes the
information hat the climate Sin some
respects is perfectly enjoyable True,
"the temperature drops as low as 80 de-
grees to 40 degrees F., below Zero but
then 1.-The fall of snow is very light or
course, where "the fall of snow Is
light" life to the American miner in
Siberia should be one joyous round of
pleasure, even though for five months
in the veal the thermometers registers
"a temperature of from 80 to 40 degrees
F., below zero
The government is sending out con-
| siderable of his kind of stuff. 1t gives
a deserving printer employment, and
furnishes a little fun to the miners who
| read it, but does not tend to enhance
popular respect for the value Of Ameri-
can consular reports.
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-12-04
Annual Report Of the Secretary Of Agriculture.

The New Mexican is IN receipt OF d
copy of the annual report of Hon.
James Wilson, the secretary of agrl-
culture. The report covers rs pages Of
printed matter and reviews at length
the work of the department. The Sec
rotary says hat it his aim to bring he
department scientists to the help of the
producers, to ascertain what we import
and what we produce, with a view to
encouraging it's growth; to search the
world for grains, fruits, grasses and le-
gumes that they may be domesticated
here and be an improvement on what
we have; to ecu new and improved
varieties of plants by cross-fertiliza-
ton; to cooperate with the experiment
stations in all the states and territories
i'm research Of practical value to
the people of all sections; n to seek
a new market for our surplus products.
Mr.. Wilson emphasizes the manner in
which the department differs from 9TH
ers. He says hat it's appropriations
should be regarded as al investment,
for the reason that it makes direct re-
turns therefor by adding to the wealth
of the country, thus adding largely to
the profits of the farmers and others as
the result of the Investigations. He in
stances as money saving or money
making agencies, the weather bureau;
the meat inspection; the pathological
Investigations of plants; the services of
the entomologist; the services of the
department on behalf of the sugar and
tea industries, of the orange industry,
which owes it's beginning and preserva-
ton to the agricultural department, the
tobacco industry and many others.
The report goes into details which
must be interesting not only to agricul-
turists and horticulturists, but to every
man and woman who takes any inter-
| est in the progress Of the world.
The agricultural department. devotes
considerable of it's efforts to the arid
regions. The investigation of forage
| crops suitable for alkali soils will be
undertaken next year. Particular at
tention has been devoted to a collection
of seeds, roots and specimens of valua-
BILE grasses and forage plants in New
Mexico, Arizona and other arid sec
tons. Several tons of seed have been
gathered in that way and will be dis
tributed to the experiment stations for
further seed production and experiment
tai cultivation.
The secretary sounds a note of warm
ing on account of the introduction CT
the Belgian hare in the arid regions.
He says: However valuable hares may
be for meat or fur, their Introduction In
large numbers is accompanied by a GER
tain element Of danger, which should
not be overlooked. Some are sure to es-
cape. and if they. increase as rapidly
| when at large as they do when in cap
tivity, they will undoubtedly become a
source Of danger and stringent meas
ures may have to be adopted to keep
them under control"

The idea of Capitalization is now be
applied to rural schools. In Ohio it
found that one central rural school
in a farming district is of more value
than a dozen smaller schools scattered
over the same area. A central school
can be graded and car maintain a
grammar and high school, while this
was impossible in the ordinary one or
two roomed country school houses. The
children are brought to the central
school in wagons at public expense and
also taken home again. With rail-
roads, trolley lines, central schools,
modern sanitation, luxuries and free
rural postofice delivery, country life Is
no longer lonesome and isolated and Of
fers more attractions to young people
than it did formerly.
