in which he suggests that these ar
chives be transferred to the library
Of congress at Washington. where
they will be more available to those
interested in the history Of the terri
tory. and where they would be abso.
lutely safe and properly classified and
indexed without expense to the terri
tory. This letter together with one
from the librarian Of congress. is
transmitted herewith for your informa-
ton.
Geological Survey.
The last Legislature made an appro-
priation and levy for the purpose of
raising funds to assist in defraying
the expenses OF a geological survey of
the territory under the direction of
the United States government and
s9,529.S4 are now on hand for that pur-
pose. The honorable secretary of the
interior has called my attention to
the fact that the successful prosecu.
ton of such survey in several of the
states has been impeded by lndivid-
uals refusing permission to the sur
veyors to enter upon their property
for the purpose of prosecuting their
work in the field. and he recommends
that an act be passed by your body
authorizing the persons employed in
making the same to enter upon private
property for that purpose, but without
any unnecessary interference of pri-
vate rights. This seems to me a nee
essary measure in order to carry out
the intent Of the act of congress and of
the territorial legislature. and | would
recommend that such a bill be passed.
Historical Society.
The report of the historical society
which accompanies this shows its i'm
portant work during the past two
years. AS time goes on, its present
work will be more appreciated. This
society is Incorporated under the laws
of the territory and has been recog-
nized for many years by an %appropria-
ton to assist it in carrying on its
work. Its rooms are appropriately in
the Old Palace building, and are fur
nished by the board of public lands
without expense for rent, and any APP
preparation which you make for this
deserving society will be used exclus-
lively for the purchase and proper Gus
tody of rare articles of historic value.
and necessary printing connected with
carrying on the object of the associa-
ton, which are for the benefit, present
and future, Of the whole territory. and

Horticultural Interests.
The horticultural interests OF New
Mexico have become of very great i'm
p%ortance to our people in the last few
years. Thousands Of dollars have beer
and are being. invested and splendid
results and profits are shown. Our
orchards should be protected and that
interest should be encouraged in ev-
cry way possible. The fruit of New
Mexico should be preserved in all its
perfection, free from insects, and to
that end | would recommend to you
the enactment of a law ample and
try. encourage and increase the invest
ment in the same.
