A conference of the directors of
the Training School, the Board OF
Education and the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen will be held next
Monday night to discuss the future
of the Training School. 1t is to be
hoped that there will be no cur
tailment of the grades in the Public
High School. There should be no
conflict between these schools and
the course of study should in no.
wise come in competition one with
the other. They are two separate
and distinct institutions, and each
should be conducted independently
and with the proper management
made a success. Two good schools
should flourish i'll Union City, in
deed this should be an educational
center. We have an excellent sys-
tenn of schools in the county, and
this should be the central point Of
educational interest. Why not?

Sheriff r. E. Morgan came up
from Trenton yesterday after the,
negro, George Turner, who was
held here by Marshal Kinnard. The
negro stole horse in the Trenton
nelghborhood, traded it for mule
at Kenton and brought the mule
here and was trying to sell it. The
marshal suspected that the mule
had been stolen, and put some very
straight questions to the negro,
who told pretty straight story
and said that he would produce a
citizen in this city who would youch
for its truthfulness. So he started
for his witness, and when he had
placed about one hundred yards
distance between himself and tile
marshal, he took his hat in his
hand and fairly burned the wind,
going towards Rives. The mar
shall cut him off by telephone and
had him captured and returned to
this city Wednesday night. Sheriff
Morgan says Turner is a bad negro
and is wanted there for stealing
horses in another case.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.
A Resume Of the Work Done by Equal.
iZation Board,

The board of equalization fixed the
assessment of the l76 miles of the
Santa Fe PaCihc railway within New
Mexico a. 81 poo uor mile and on all
the grazing land owned by the com
pany, amounting To about 500 goo
acres. at % cents per acre. This was
done in accordance with the compro-
mise entered into by the county com
missioners of iernalillo, Valencia and
Mckinley counties and in order TO give
each OF those counties some of the
taxes to he paid by the road. Under
n recent decision of the supreme court
OF the United States only 90 miles of
track ont OF l76 miles within the ter
rltory are taxable. but rather than tax
the G6 miles whJh are located In Val
encia county alone 1t was considered
best to act upon the compromise and
10 assess the entire l7G miles AT $4,000
per mile and the grazing land at %
cents per acre. This compromise Will
prove of special benefit to Mckinley
county and is believed to be fair all
around
The assessed value OF the 66 miles
of road in Valencia county would have
been fixed at So 1000 per mile, but l76
miles of trackage will hc assessed ut
81 POO per mile. and therefore the terri
tory and the counties named are gain
ers by the compromise The character
of the grazing lands of the company is
mostly of q desert character and with
very little natural water, hence the
low figure OF 25 cents per acre was
compromised on by the officials of the
three counties named and approved by
the board of equalization.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS.

The Chicago Record Herald says
that the management of the Santa Fc
has decided to spend Sl3,u00,0OO for
equipment during the present year.
This statement was made 10y an official
of the company. who added that the
money would come from the proceeds
of a new issue of bonds TO the amount
of $50 900 600
Just how the expenditure is To be-
appOrtioncd was not stated, hut is
known that an order has been given
for 5000 box cars. fifty mammoth
freight engines and 100 more engines
of smauer type, aud practically all the
passenger equipment of the company
is to be renewed
The OH, ial statement regarding the
amount To- lac spent for equipment
makes Il plain what is 10 be done with
the proceeds of the bond issue. 1t Will
take fully $1,000 600 to give the com
pany over 500 miles of new ire free

WORLDS SUPPLY OF GOLD.

II has been rockoned that in the de

Philadelphia stands there is enough of

that wherever a person may be on the

there Is likely 90 he enough gold with

MINES ON PRIVATE LAND GRANTS

Congressional Delegate Rodey. of
New Mexico has introduced bill TO
authorize prospecting for and develop.
ing mineral claims within the limits
of private land grants The Denver
Republican says that the object of the
bin Is TO meet conditions which exist
in nearly all localities where old Span
ish or Mexican land grants have been
confirmed.
In most Of those grants the mineral
rights were reserved by the govern
mont and also in most cases the coniir-
nation by the United States has left
this feature unchanged. In a few in
stances Only the government of the
United states has granted the mineral
along with the other rights
Where the mineral is reserved the
owner OF the grant has no right To oX.
tract It That right belongs To- the
United States or any one to whom
it may be given But at present pri.
waite individuals cannot locate mineral
claims within the limits Of grant be
cause the surface does not belong 10
the public The owner OF the grant
may prohibit trespassing and thus
keep all prOspectors of As a result
the mineral of private land grant
must remain undeveloped.
/ II the Rodcy bill becomes 'aw the
way will be opened for prospecting
on such a grant. Congress has Itself
the right 10 enter upon private land
grant TO extract the mineral under the
! principal that one may do whatever
may he incidental and essential TO the
enjoyment OF some other right, con
