THE SCHOOL OF MINES
Notes of Interest Concerning Some
Of the Doings at That Institu-
tion This Week.
NEW DORMITORY SOON READY
The Football Season Now over and
Hard Work Is the Order of the
Day.

Following are notes Of interest
concerning some of the doings at
the School of Mines during the
week Just closed:
Prof. and Mrs. Geo. +. Eek
hard returned Sunday morning
from FL Paso. where they spent
three or four days of the Thanks
giving vacation. Professor Eek
hard has fully recovered from
the effects of his recent illness
and is again directing the work
of the engineering department
with satisfaction to all concern
ed.
The furniture is now being put
into the new dormitory and it is
hoped that the wait for the build
ing's being made fully ready for
occupancy will be a short one.
a little painting and carpenter
ing are still to be done on the in
terror of the building, but it will
be but very few days until the
final cleaning up and installation
of the furniture will be in pro-
greSS.
Now that the football season
is over, every body has settled
down to hard work doubtless in
all the better trim for having
had a good play spell. Interest
in athletics is still keen, how
ever, and there is an often ex-
pressed determination to organ
ize baseball team next spring
and a football team next fall
both of which will cause the
teams of other territorial iustitu-
tions to take notice. AS a large
increase in attendance is looked
for next year and as some of the
young men who have declared
their intentions are known to be
good on the athletic field, the
organization of strong teams will
not be difficult.

THE DISTRICT COURT
The Regular December Term for
the County Of Socorro Will
Convene next Monday.
NO JURY CASES TO BE TRIED
But the Grand Jury Will Probably
Be in Session Week or More.
Much Business.

The regular December term of
the district court for Socorro
county will convene in this city
next Monday morning. 1t was
thought until two or three days
ago that the court wouldnot con-
vene for this term at all. but
that all business now pending
would 20 over to the June term,
In view OF the fact, however,
that there are several prisoners
in the couty Jail awaiting a hear
ing, it has been determined to
call a grand jury for the pur-
pose of giving them such hear
ing and then holding them for
trial or diSmissiug them as the
testimony may warrant.
A grand jury will therefore be
empaneled aud there is an ex-
cellent prospect that there will
be work enough to keep that
body busy for the next two weeks.
No jury cases will be tried, as no
petit jury will be empaneled
This arrangement will OF
course result in the postpone
ment OF the greater part of the
business of the court now pend
ing until the term of court which
will convene next June.
THE GRAND JURY.
The names of the grand jurors
already summoned are as follows:
Gregorio Gallegos, Juan Call
egos, Gaviuo Jojola, Tom Boil
and, John Lewis, Pedro Gale
gos, Jesus Gurule, II. S. Delgar,
Jose Seguvia, Jose NJ. Ulibarri,

To the Honorable members of the Colo

gins.
We the undersigned Burghers
of this Town do hereby beg to call your
attention to the proposed taxation on Fire
arms, hoping that as our Representatives
you will use your best endeavour to prevent
us being taxed who have sworn allegiance to
His Most Gracious Majesty aud are willing
at all times to bear Arms for the Govern
ment in either of the three Danish West In
dian Islands for the maintenance Of law and
order.
And beg to point out that according to
the proposed form of taxation, one class OF
Burghers and Land holders will be exempt
from taxation through having $50 Acres OF
land, while the other class of Burghers and
land-holders, who may have property in the
town far exceeding the value of $50 Acres in
the Country, will be taxed.
Far be itthat we object to thetaxation ofFire-
arms belonging to irresponsible persons who
have not sworn to be with the Government
if need be, and fail to see why law abiding
citizens who are bound by oath to serve the
Governme nt should have this tax imposed
upon them.

H0TALING SUED BY
BANK DEP0SIT0RS
Alleged to Be Liable as Stock
Holder of California Safe De-
posit and Trust Company

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. l7.-Suit was
brought IN the superior court of Marin
county today against Richard NJ. Hotal-
ing for the sum Of s72,SSo. representing
q portion Of his liability as a stock
holder in the defunct California safe
deposit and trust company. The action
was filed on behalf of a number Of de-
positors in the institution. Under the
law Of the state. each stock holder is
liable in proportion 10 his share of the
stock Of the corporation
The depositors who have united in
the suit against HOtaling and the
amount Of their claims are: American
savings bank S6,OO2: P. J. Walker.

This is one Of the many suits that
have grown out OF the failure Of the
safe deposit and trust company. The
Hotaling estate owned a large block Of
stock, but never took an active interest
in the concern. After its suspension, an
effort was made TO rehabilitate the
institution with Hotaling as the man
ager. After brief negotiations the
plan was abandoned.
The claimants in the suit are repre-
sented by the law firms Of Titus &,
Greed, Walker K. Cutler and Frohman
