QOVal county Dill Is nOI uetlu puI oIily
sleeping, and may be found very wide
awake one of these fine mornings.
The Council committee on finance did
considerable work yesterday afternoon
on the appropriation bill, and may be
ready to report that measure for action
by the Council in two or three days.
The last report of the board OF peni-
tentiary commissioners to Governor
Otero shows the institution to be in a
very flourishing and satisfactory condi-
tion under the management of the pre-
sent efficient superintendent, Hon. II.
o. Bursum. .-Socorro Chieftain.
The children for all the rooms in the
public schools of the city have attended
one or both branches of the Legisla-
tive Assembly and watched the pro-
ceedings. They have seemed to be very
much interested and have followed
events closely whether understood or
not.
The confusion In Socorro c0unty's
financial affairs grows worse and worse
confounded. About the only redeeming
feature of the situation is in the fact
that this illustration OF the results OF
the reckless handling Of public funds by
public officials may possibly prove TO be
a wholesome lesson to the taxpayers OF
the county.-Socorro Chieftain.
1t is safe to assert that the New Mex
leo School Of Mines can make better
showing for the present year than can
be made by any other educational insti-
tuition of the territory. The friends OF
this institution therefore think that 1T
should receive at least as favorable con-
sideraton as any other at the hands OF
the legislative assembly now in session.
Socorro Chieftain.
There Is disposition among men,
bers of both branches of the Legisla-
ative Assembly to take no more ad-
journments from Friday until Monday.
A large number of bills has been intro
duced and there is much work to be
done by committees. The time will be
fully occupied to the end of the session
and it is probable that night sessions
will be held to consider the appropria-
ton bill.
An amendment has been prepared 10
the bill introduced in the Council by
Mr.. Hughes to create the office Of fish
and game warden and. to provide for
the protection of fish and game. The
bill makes it misdemeanor for anyone
to fish in a stream running through the
land of anyone who has posted notice
that it is closed to fishermen through
his land. The amendment proposed is
to require anyone who thus closes q
part of stream to deposit therein an.
nually at least one thousand young fish
and thus restock the streams of the
territory.

this session passed none but good laws
Pass few good laws and adjourn early
would be drawing card for the future
Red River Prospector.
