THE DEMAND FOR TEACHERS.

ed a dispatch from Trenton telling of
the condition of affairs at the state
normal school. There are places for
all the graduates before they have
finished their course and Immediately
upon graduation they secure posi-
lions. Owing TO this great demand
salaries in many cities have been rails
ed so as to get the best TO be had.
The cities paying the most get the
brightest scholars, other cities take
what they can get which, in some in
stances, is nothing at all.
This lesson comes home to Perth
Amboy. This city ranks among the
very lowest in teachers salaries, yet
the demand for teachers here is one
Of the greatest. Teachers come here
only when they cannot get anywhere
else. or in order to gain experience to
ill the higher positions elsewhere.
During the past few months sever
al of the best teachers in the local
schools have left to 90 to cities where
they will receive much more money
for the same amount of work, if not
less. Only Friday a teacher who had
been in the local schools ten years,
and who was recognized as one of the
best. left this city for Paterson. 9th
ers will follow. 1t is natural and no
one is to blame but the city.
Just as a matter of comparison.

any more salary. 1t is time these
things we're recognized in a more sub
stantial way.
The people of the city would ap-
prove of "a raise in teachers salaries
even if some other appropriation had
to be cut down. Although the budget
has been made up for this year, the
announcement on the part Of the city
fathers that there will be a substan-
tial increase next year might be the
means of holding any of the local
teachers who are now contemplating
moving and might also induce others
to come here, superintendent Shull
is doing an excellent work. but he
cannot be expected TO maintain the
high standard in the schools if other
cities, by Offering better inducements
can coax the best teachers away and
leave the local schools to depend on
the young graduates, who, in time,
may leave as o 0n as the opportunity
offers. The city is proud Of the stand
ing of the local school system. but
something must be done 10 maintain
it. The way the teachers are leaving
Perth Amboy for other cities where
there are higher salaries has become
alarming Let something be done at
once to stay the tide. Good teachers
are in demand and cities must pay
more than S45 a month to hold them
Such a salary is ridiculous when the
responsibility that rests upon a teacn-

A HARD YEAR FOR RAILWAYS.
Fines Paid Amounting to Many Thous-
ands.

Chicago, Dec. ~ The Tribune says:
The year 1906 will long be remembered
as one Of great trials and tribnlations
for railways and railway officials that
had broken the laws. ..Partaking of the
zeal displayed BIZ President Roosevelt
and his administration in moving
against the law breakers and further
stimulated To action BY direct orders
from Attorney General Moody and even
from the President himself. the various
Federal district attorneys during the
year have prosecuted more legal pro-
ccedings against railroads and their Of
ticials than ever before within an equal
period in the history Of tine country
Most OF these suits were brought for
violations OF the Elkins law, against
giving or receiving rebates. ard in most
Instances they were instituted not only
against the railways and their officials
who gave the reoates, but also against
the individuals or corporations that so-
licited or accepted them. In most in-
stances, prosecutions we're successful.
The fines assessed aggregate many
hundreds 81 thousands of dollars. Two
men we're convicted and sentenced to
imprisonment under the Federal con.
spiracy law.

MYSTERIOUS MINES.
Some Lost Drifts That Keep the Mex
lean Gold Seeker Busy.

Among the rich mines worked by the
Spaniards was the Tarasca In Sonora OF
which Humboldt writes SO fascinatingly,
and Ward and other historians mention
favorably. The history Of Tarasca ID
one Of evil deeds, OF duplicity, Of theft,
Of greed and all the base passions in
cited by the love Of gold. The mine was
worked long before the Spaniards ar
rived in Mexico, and gold and silver
fashioned into ornaments by the abort
gines, a family in Guaymas has
necklace Of flying fish bought from
Pima Indian chief, who stated that the
metal was dug from Tarasca. The mine
was worked by various Spaniards, and
later acquired for the crown Of Spain.
It was extensively worked, barring GER
tain periods during Apache wars, until
the epoch Of the French intervention,
waen the shafts and tunnels are said TO
have been concealed by the administers
tor, Don Juan Moreno, an imperialist,
who was forced to seek safety in fight.
After the restoration of peace Tarasca
was looked for in vain, and to the pres
ent time no one is certain of its loca-
tion, though the mine now known as
Ubarbo is believed to be the Tarasca
Ubarbo had been extensively worked
when rediscoyered years ago, and the
shafts and tunnels concealed under earth
and brush. Rich pillars Of ore were
found in the drifts, and the mine cores
ponds with the description in the ar
chieses Of the American consulate at
Guaymas
But the lost mine about which tradi-
tion gathers thickeat is Talopa, supposed
to be located in the Shahuaripa dis
trict in Sonora Little documentary
and that has evidently been manufac-
tured by INSCRIPTIONS manipulators. A
wealthy Mexican recently made trip
to Madrid, and after minute search at
great expense found absolutely no data
to prove that such mine was worked
for the crown of Spain and no reliable
data in the Mexican archieves or else
where to prove that such a mine. was
ever known. But quite as Trustworthy
as most written documents are the ira
ditions gathered from the Pima In
dams.
They stoutly maintain that Taiopa
exists and few claim to know its To-
cality Small quantities o. very rich
ore are occasionally sold at the mount
ain mining camps and all attempts to
follow the Indians to tie spot where %
is found or bride them to reveal it have
failed. Wanting but little in addition
to the corn they grow, they are imbued
with superstition that If they reveal
the locality of mine they win instant
~ drop dead. To one unacquainted
with the Indian character this state
ment may seem incredible but any pros
pector or miner in the Sierra Madre will
affirm its truth. Large sums of money
have been offered the Pimas to tell
where the lost mine is. They scorn
money and the only open sesame il
nrescal, by the liberal use Of which tho
Indian may be made to disclose many
things, but 20 far he dias held fnviolate
his vow to reveal to no man the famous
Talopa. From Modern Mexico.

MAY Mean End Of Monopoly
In Southwest
INDIAN TERRITORY TO GULF
Concession for Independents--Regula
lions Prevent Control by the Stan
dard--Lin Authorized by Govern
ment WIN Cost 100000

Washington, Dec. 81. The govern
ment took the first step in the direction
OF driving the Standard Oil company out
Of the Southwestern field when it pro
mulgated regulations under the terms Of
which the biggest independent oil pipe
line in the world viii be constructed.
Some weeks ago the announcement was
made that concession had been granted
to the Melien company OF Pittsburg to
erect over reservation lands a pipe line
from BartIesyille, i T., to points in Tex
as. with view to afiording an outlet
through gulf ports to the product Of tine
Indian territory-OklahoIna field. The in
dependence Of operators In the South
western field from present or future mo
nopolies. tile officials OF the interior de-
paItment believe, is thus insured. The
NIellens were the pioneers in the indie
pendent movement against the Standard
Oil company They have operated with
success against the STANDARD in various
parts Of the country. The line which
they viii construct by authority Of the
government il Is estimated will cost S.
100000.
Under the regulations it viii be i'm
possible for the proposed pipe line to
ever fall into the hands Of the Stan
dard or any other monopoly. The regu.
Iations were prepared BY Secretary Of
the Interior Hitchcock, his prospective
successor, james r. Garfield Indian
Commissioner Francis Il. leupp and the
law officers Of the department Their
provisions are hard and fast and ar ex-
pected to prove effective in the battle
against the monopoly in the Southwest
efn oil fields. The regulations are in
nineteen sections. the last three of which
are vital. since they give the secretary
Of the interior the authority to cancel,
on ten DAYS notice, the contract of any
individual or company in the event that
the terms of the contract are violated.
