City cenneiI.

The present city council met in
one Of the closing scenes of its mu-
nicipal career last Monday night.
Tile fact that the mayor and all the
aldermen were present, including
quite a number Of disinterested (?)
SPECTATORS. shows that unusual in
terest is being taken in city affairs
just at present With the disinter-
ested persons it will probably last
until the city election spasm is over.
aftcC which the city fathers. who
ever or whatever they may be. will
b. allowed to do their own worry
ing over the thankless job which
will continue 10 be theirs for at
least a period of two years. The
dtsluterested ~ spectator worries
over city affairs. retires to the Sc
ciusion of his tepee. wraps his mu-
nicipal blanket about him. and lies
down to pleasant dreams for two
years more. On St. Patrick S day
IN 1909 he vii! have another rude
awakening and wonder some more
why things are SO much thusly in
city affairs. After these few peril
ncnt remarks the great family
Journal will endeavor to give syn

pa! rounds in words and figures as
follows:
The city clerk reported that he
had the new pump house insured

the fire limits.
The petition Of, T. T. Wood.
Fluff requesting the location of GER
tain streets in the InRersoll ad-
dition. WHICH the petitioner de-
sires to incorporate within the city
limits. was referred to the street
and alley committee and the city en-
gineer.
K. G. Dalton appeared before the
city council. and made strenuous
kick. alleging that the city fathers
had failed to live up to their agree.
ment in the matter of supplying the
Ohio addition with water mains.
He claimed that when application
was made to have the Ohio addition
Incorporated within the city limits.
the city council agreed to supply the
entire addition with city water. Mr..
Dalton making counter agreement
to pay the interest on the amount
necessary to put in the mains pro-
viding the revenues derived were in
sufficient to make the expenditure
profitable to the city. Only two
blocks of water mains have as yet
been put in the Ohio addition and
MIR. Dalton thinks there should be
at least three blocks more. The
matter was referred to- the city en-
gineer with instructions to make an
estimate on the cost of supplying
the entire Ohio addition with city
water.
City Chemist Griffin made report
on five samples Of milk which had
been supplied him from the various
dairies doing business in this city.
The samples were submitted to him
duly numbered, and he had no
knowledge as to the identity of the
dairy from which the milk came. In
only two of the samples was there
no evidence of water, while one had
as much as tw1nty-seven per cent
water. and still others from six to
twelve per cent. He said that none
Of the samples submitted were up
to standard. but would not recon-
mend any prosecutions. believing it
would be better to simply notify the
dealers at this time that they had
been found out
O. G. HISS appeared before the
council on behalf of A. ID. Best in
the matter of paying the costs in the
artesian water case which was re-
Gently decided in the supreme court
adversely to the city. Mr.. Hess
wants the city to pay all the costs in
the case from the police court up.
City Engineer Lewis reported
tina. all Of the boilers and pumps
had been removed from the old
pump house and were now being
placed in position at the new plant.
1t very short time the plant would
be completed and be ready to be
turned over to the city. The city
pumper is of the opinion that the
new pump will result in cutting
down the coal bill one-half. as he
has been able to pump nearly 2.OOO.-
900 gallons per day with only one
boiler.
In the matter of grading Ration
avenue and the county road south
of Tenth street the council agreed
to accept the proposition of the
county commissioners and divide
the estimated cost of $500 equally
between the city and county. The
street and alley committee was in
structed to proceed with the work
at once.
After allowing number of bills
the council adjourned until FRIDAY
night, at which time the appropria-
tion ordinance will come up for final
consideration.

MAGDALENA CAMP BOOMING
An Interesting Account of the Work
Now in Progress Up on the Hill.

The following is taken from
recent correspondence from
Magdalena to the Albuquerque
Citizen: The Graphic mine is
now in $50 feet on a thin ore
body, driving north with a
machine drill on the foot wall,
and one on the hanging wall
over fifty feet apart, driving
ahead, with said ore between, one
machine making an uprise in
the center of the ore body, and
the ore is now showing some
good copper.
''Mr. Gardner, of Joplin, Mo-,
is here now. He is one of the
interested parties in the Graphic
and is looking over the new
strike and determining where
and when to handle the ore.
He is manager of the smelling
and concentrating plants at
Coffeyville, Kan, and Joplin, Mo.
THE Kelly group of mines
owned by the Tri-Bullion Smelter
and Development company OF
Chicago and New York, have
their mines under full control
again. The proprietors have
now on the ground three boilers
of 450-horse power capacity to
furnish the power for their big
hoist which will be one of the
best in the west, and also an air
compressor for fifteen machine
drills. The plant is being in
stalled by the Traylor Engineer
ing company of New York and is
first-class in every respect.
The shaft is 419x4 feet in
the clear, we'll timbered, will
have two cages, and will be
able to handle any amount OF
ore. They are down now about
230 feet, working three shifts,
sinking and intending to go
1000 feet deep. At the 200-foot
level they have begun to cross
cut toward their ore body anc
, are now fifty feet from theil
shaft. This level is about fifty
feet lower than any of the ole
works. At the shaft where the
ore was produced they are sink
ing another 100 feet and are
drilling in ore toward their new
shaft at the foot of the hill"

LEGISLATURES DOINGS
Organization Was Perfected Monday Noon and the
Work of the Session Is Now in Progress. The
Session Promises to Be of Much More Than
Usual Interest.

What promises to be an un-
usually interesting session of the
territorial legislature began at
the capitol in Santa Fe Monday
noon. when the organization Of
both houses was effected. Hon.
Charles A. SpiesS of San Miguel
county was chosen to preside
over the deliberations of the
council and Hon. w. K. Martin
of Socorro county to be chief
clerk. In the house of represer-
tatives Hon. Roman L. Baca
of Santa Fe county was elected
speaker, Hon. Frank Stapleton
of San Juan county chief clerk,
and Leandro Baca of Socorro
county sergeant-at-arms. These
selections are all excellent and
promise we'll for the efficiency of
the work of the thirty-seventh
Legislative assembly.
Governor Hagerman read his
message to the two houses in
joint session Tuesday. The doc
ument is of unusual length.
Among the bills that promise to
take prominent place among
those considered during the ses-
sion there will be one to prohibit
gambling, one to fix the salaries
of county officers, one to revise
the territorial statutes, and one
to revise the election law.
On Wednesday Mr.. Miera in
troduced council bill No. l, pro-
viding for the appointment OF
jury commissioners and the Sc
lection of jurors by such COM
missioners. Mr.. Martinez OF
Taos introduced council bill No,
?. Should the bill become law
it takes from the governor his

power to fill vacancies in county
Offices and places this power in
the hands of the county commits
sioners of the counties in which
the vacancies occur, In the
house the permanent committees
were appointed. II. b. Holt of
bona Ana county is chairman of
the two most important commit
tees, those on finance and judic-
iary. Amos Green of Socorro
county is chairman of the COM
mittees on penitentiary and pub
lie printer.
The principal topic about the
capitol Thursday was that of eX-
ira employees. The matter was
harmoniously adjusted in caucus.
AT the afternoon session of the
council a communication was
read from Hon. T. b. Catron,
who had filed a contest for the
seat of Mr.. Miera, withdrawing
said contest, but maintaining
that it was we'll founded in fact
and in law. The withdrawal
was accepted. Also, at the af-
ternoon session in the house a
letter was read from Esquipulo
Baca of Sandoval county an
nouncing the withdrawal of his
contest against f. c. Abbott.
The contest was declared dis
missed.
Yesterday the house passed
the bill taking the appointment
of district attorneys out OF the
hands of the governor. On roll
call in the house the vote was
II for and 7 against. This is house
bill No. and its passage was
the chief event of yesterdays
proceedings.
