proves This Plan.

"To the New Mexican:
II understand that the question OF
using the Governors part of the Pal
ace for historical rooms is now being
considered and am pleased to hear OF
it. That would be an excellent home
for New Mexico's Historical Society
and those in authority should not hes
itate one moment in complying with
the request. Your society is engaged
in a great work-that of preserving
the history Of the past and present for
the future and those in authority
should not deny any reasonable accom-
modation that would advance its intera
ests. How appropriate It would be to
deposit Coronado's Journal in such a
home, but nothing more than the pres
ent owes to the twilight of history.

CAMPAIGN
LIE NAILED.
Acting Secretary of Treasury Depart
ment Makes Statement Regard
ing Judge Parker's Question.

? washington, D. c., Oct. 24.-H. A.
Taylor, acting secretary of the treas
ury today issued the following state
ment: "The attention Of the depart
mAnt has been called to the statement
twice made by Judge Parker that there
have been administration orders forbid
ding the publication of information
concerning theh management and con-
dition of the treasury department
and orders issued to govern de-
partmental actions generally. The
only order ever issued concerning the
estimated expenditures was that no
subordinate, should make any estimate
public until the head OF the department
had gone over them with the President
and they had been approved. Before
Mr.. Parker made his statement IN rel
erence to such order, to withhold IN
formation, the Postoffice, Interior ana
Agricultural Departments and the DIS
trict Of Columbia had made public
their estimates. Estimates OF all the
other departments will be given out in
the ordinary course Of business as soon
as they are approved. Mr.. Parker has
evidently been led into an error on
that point. He seems to think that the
current monthly expense account must
have some relation to those estimates,
In closing his statement, Mr. Taylor
said. IF Judge Parker would apply to
the Treasury Department for informa
ton as to the methods of government
business and the condition of the pub
lie finances, he would get prompt and
accurate information and avoid the EN-
barrassment of being led into such .
spalpable error"

MINING SURVEYS
. FOR NEW MEXICO
Government Has Begun Active Opera.
tions on an Extensive Scale
Throughout Territory.

The federal government has begun
active operations on a rather exten
sive scale in New Mexico. Through
the efforts chiefly of DR.. Keyes and OF
account of his wide experience along
these lines, the governmental surve!
has been inaugurated. DR.. Keyes wa:
formerly connected with the fedora
survey, resigning to take charge Of the
Iowa Geological Survey, and subse
quently becoming State Geologist o1
Missouri and Director of the Bureau Of
Geology and Mines.
During the past year Dr. Keyes has
been working upon a plan that if car
ried out will give New Mexico the
same advantages for the encourage
ment of legitimate mining as other
mining states and thus do more tc
build up the main industry of this re-
gion than any other one thing. To this
end he has formulated a comprehen
sive scheme of work and as result
the federal government has commenc.
ed to carry out the plan.
A part of the past week was spent
by E. M. Douglas, chief topographer, in
Socorro, mainly at the School of Mines
in consultation with Dr. Keyes. To-
gether these two men went over
the ground in the neighborhood for the
purpose of selecting a suitable base
line, positions for permanent bench
marks and laid out the general lines
along which operations shall begin.
Two parties will be put in the field
ind will continue work all winter. One
OF these will CARRY the primary-triangu-
lation network from southern Arizona
to the Rio Grande at Elephant Butte,
in Sierra County, and thence UP the
river to Albuquerque, and on to Col
orado, where it will connect with the
transcontinental system. The second
party will have headquarters at the
School of Mines and will construct at
once a detailed topographic base map
of the Socorro district to be known as
the Socorro quadrangle; and will then
prepare a similar base-map of the Mag
dalena region and mining camps, to be
called the Magdalena quadrangle.
R. H. Chapman will be topographer
in charge and also in charge of the tri.
angulation party. He will arrive about
the 5th of next month and will be as
sisted by H. H. Hodgeson and eight
other engineers. A. B. Searle will be
in charge of the Socorro local topo-
graphic party, and will be assisted by
several able men.
Chester Irvine will act as chief level
man and will be assisted by H. LaFol-
lette and several subordinates. He
will arrive in Socorro as soon as the
other party gets the work fully started,
about November 10th.
The Inauguration of this work will
mark an epoch in New Mexico mlnln--,
for much is to be expected OF 1t.

I has telegraphed to Premier Balfour:
Great indignation prevails here at the
unprecedented and wanton attack or
the Hull fishing fleet by the Russian
warships, resulting in the loss of val
liable lives. We appeal to the govern.
ment to take the speediest and strong.
est measures to ensure full redress and
complete security against further Rus
sian outrages."
Attack Was at Close Range.
London, Oct. 24.-The mate of the
trawler Mino, which arrived at Hull
today, bringing the news of the Rus
sian squadron firing on the British fish,
ing feet said: Between 200 and 300
shots were fired. The first vessel in
line did most of the firing, but l think
two others also fired several shots.
Our whole feet was under search
lights which nearly blinded us. The
Russians came within less than quar-.
ter of mile from u.s." Captain Park
er, OF the trawler Magpie, declared that
it was impossible for the Russians to
mistake the trawlers for torpedo boats.
He added: "The whole affair lasted
about 20 minutes. No quarter shots
could have taken effect. When the fir
ing ceased the ships disappeared as
quickly as they came up"
Russia Apologies.
st. Petersburg, Oct 24.-It was de-
cided during the day to prepare semi
official note expressing the regret of
the Russian government and its will
lingness to make full reparation as
soon as the responsibility is fixed.
This step, showing the attitude of the
Russian government, will. it is hoped,
mollify the British government and
public opinion in Great Britain and
pave the way to a satisfactory diplo-
matte adjustment Of the deplorable az
fair.
