NEW MEXICO NEWS


Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Hiram P. Hadley has given out the complete figures of the school census taken last month, which shows that there are in New Mexico outside of the Indian population, 72,92S persons between the ages of five and twenty years, indicating a total population for the territory of 255,OOO people, outside of the 14,0OO Indians.
 B. M. Hall, the supervising engin- eer, has checked up the land already signed up in the Rio Pecos Irrigation district, says the Carlsbad Argus. He as telegraphed to Chief Engineer F. H. Newell that 10000 acres of good land is already signed up. The Carlsbad project will now go before the secretary of interior for final decision. It is hoped that the mat ter will be settled quickly, as it is important that work begin at the earliest time possible.
 H. F. Fry, of Fl Paso, has made deal for all of the ore of the Superior mine that will stand shipping. The dump is being worked over and ship ped out by the carload. This ore was practically worthless when put on the dump, as the value in it would not pay for reducing it, but the ad- vances that have been made in smelt- ing are such that it now pays to han dle the ore. Undoubtedly there is much ore in the mine that could now he handled at a profit, if the owners, would only work it.-Liberal.
 A lower freight rate, such as-is in effect at Tombstone, would revive mining in the Lordsburg district.
 A number of Lordsburgers, who had stock in the Fidelity Building and Loan association, of Denver, which went broke year or so ago, will be glad to know that F. M. Johnson, the manager of the company, after talk ing his case through all the Colorado courts, has at last been sent to the penitentiary, where he will spend be- tween two and three years. MT. Johnson run the Fidelity after the plan of the big life insurance com panies in New York, giving his rela- tives fat jobs at good salaries, and investing the depositors' money in ways that he expected would make him big profit, but the income of the Fidelity was not as large as that of the insurance companies, and SC when he made big loss the company busted. It is probable that some of the officers of the insurance con- panies will be treated the same as MT. Johnson, and repose in the peni- tentiary for a time, at least the policy holders hope they will.- Liberal.

If Photographer Risdon of Clifton will come to Solomonville we shall be pleased to accompany him to his long lost photograph gallery. We found it while hunting on the river! It stands right-side up on a sand bank high above the water, none the worse for its 4O-mile trip down the river during the floods. The sign is still above the door.-Bulletin.
 The most remarkable thing about this is the fact that MT. Risdon did not lose his photograph gallery dur ing the flood, or at any other time.

An Awful Cough Cured.

1.-Two years ago our little girl had a touch of pneumonia, which left her with an awful cough. She had spells of coughing, just like one with the whooping cough and some thought she would not get well at all. We got bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy, which acted like a charm. She stopped coughing and got stout and fat" writes Mrs. Ors Bussard Brubaker, III. This remedy is for sale by all dealers in medicine.

BiSbee'S Greatness.

The combined payrolls of the mines at and adjacent to Bisbee amount to from $35O,OOO to $4O0,O0O per month, and are growing greater every year as the properties are developed to greater extent and more ore is pre- duced.
 The future of Bisbee as a business community has been a matter of lit tie consideration heretofore in the development of valuable mines, but it is now acknowledged by men who have been intimately associated with the camp for years that it has fu- ture second to no other camp in the west. It is realized that it will be many years before the mining in- dustry of Bisbee reaches it's maxi mum, and that it will then be long reach in the present century before it will begin the decline.
 The known tonnage of the camp is increasing in proportion every year. With many of the mines the big exploratory work has just fairly begun. even though they may have shown up much ore. Many new shafts have been completed in the past year or two, or are now approaching com pletion, and the big work of opening up in the drifts and crosscuts is now in progress. Much ore and many things that are significant to the arrangements of Bisbee properties are not generally reported at this distance, except to those in immedl- ate touch.
 Bisbee is one of the most solid camps in the west, and its population as a rule spends its money with more freedom than is witnessed in most communities. Investors in business locations are going into Bisbee to seek openings, and the town is grow ing in all departments of business. In addition to this large amounts of money are from time'to time go ing to Bisbee from investors in min ing claims.-Boston Commercial.

Facts as to Divorce

The presidents recommendation that congress provide
for the collection of statistics of marriage and divorce is
important step toward remedy for what has become
recognized of the degrading evils of this
try.
The first need is for reliable and trustworthy facts
With these hand intelligent and prudent action will be-
possible
No official census of divorce has been taken since 1886
divorce for the 90 years between 1867 and 1886 he dscov
cred the dsagreeabe fact that the divorce rate had in
creased 157 per cent while population had increased but
60 per cent In 1867 the number of divorces in the United
States 9937; in 1886 no less than $3.50.
This showing is bad enough but there is to fear
that the new investigation will show still cond
ton
The number of American divorces is unofically
estimated $4,000 annually, nncrease of 100 per cent
in the last 10 years. while population has increased only
about so per cent Incomplete state reports prepare
for what to expect Indiana for example, in 1867 granted
1896 divorces 1865 in 1885, and 4699 to every 81
marriages. in 1900 Michigans divorces increased from
449 in 1867 1889 in 1885, and 2418 in 1900 Ohio granted
901 in 1867 and 3217 in 1900.
Taking the country whole, in 1900 it is estimated
that there one divorce to every Is marriages.
Such figures these if officially shown to be true,
not fail to public feeling that will result in rad
ical efforts for remedy.
The 1886 report did good, marking practically the be-
ginning of the antitrust agitation Some reforms have
been instituted in many states result. But there is
still woeful lack of harmony between the various states
and statistics covering the whole ground necessary
concerted action.

The Zemsky Sober

Reports from ST. Petersburg indicate that the in
seeking way out of his troubles will furnish a striking
parallel to of the momentous events of the French
oluton
One of the first of reform proposed is
vival of the old 'zemsky sobor land assembly, which
ourshed in the 18th century, but has since existed only
in tradition.
When King Louis XVI of France and his assembly Of
mobiles found themselves poweres to deal with their debts
and the public discomfort, the almost forgotten estates
general called together for the first time in IT'S years
and this body of 200 representatives of all classes Of the
people seized its opportunity and became the actual gov
eminent of France
The Russian ''zemsky sobor' has not been called to-
gether since the time of Peter the Great AS it existed
under the first two Romanoffs it body composed Of
representatives of the nobility and clergy the merchants
guilds and citizens of the urban districts The methods
of converting the body simple An imperial mandate
issued to the governors of the various provinces
derng them to provide for the election of two rep
resentaves of each of the classes named being stpu
sufficiently intelligent to state their wrongs indicate
what policies they would like to have adopted. The prov
incia governors in turn notified the leading members of
the various classes who hereupon proceeded to choose
from among themselves the persons they deemed most
capable to act for them Once elected the delegates pro-
ceeded to the capital where after hearing address
from the they empowered to discuss the plans
he proposed, to petition for amendments to legislative
measures, to ratify crcise the governmental policies
and even to call for action upon subjects
The analogy between the condition in Russia today and
that in France at the beginning of the revolution has been
frequently noted There many points Of similarity
But this latest proposed makes the parallel
perfect to be almost startling

The Holly, Mason, Marks & Co.
team beat the daylights out of the
Inlands at the Pfister last night, scor-
Ing 2419 to 1864. The Inlands have
strengthened their team by the addi-
ton of a big man, who, when he fires
the ball, makes the pins look like a
Russian regiment hit by a Jap shell,
but the Holley- Mason team is a
clever bunch and hard to beat.
1t was suggested that the Inlands
would have more of chance If they
used bigger balls and could arrange
to feed knockout drops to the fat
man with the whiskers and the bald
headed fellow on the other team. The
contest is creating considerable ex-
element and good natured rivalry
