Implicated
Man Has
Surrendered

One of the men implicated in the
murder OF Don Antonio Martinez
in the Carson forest known as Gar
rapata in Taos county last week,
surrendered to the sheriff Of colfay
county the first of the week in RAJ
ton, where he is now confined in
the county Jail.
At the time this is written the
sheriff could not be located by wire
as he was absent on official bust
ness, and the name of the man who
surrendered could not be ascertain
ed. While ii is not authentic, II
is believed that the prisoners name
is Stewart. Since the murder was
committed investigation revealed
that none of the three men accused
OF the crime were from Dawson.
The states attorney received nc
further information about the crime
although every available effort Is
being resorted to.

Col. Twitchen
Finds Important
History Of State

A historical find that is much
treasured has been made by Col.
Ralph Emerson Twitchell in Vol. 1
"Documentos Para in Historic de
Mexico. printed in the City of
Mexico. 1t is a huge tome in Span
ish of ], 400 pages and more than
half of it refers to New Mexico an
nails. The book opens with bio
graphies of the Aztec emperors be-
fore the coming of Cortez. Then
follows the story of ipe martyrs Of
Tlaxcala, which is OF interest be-
cause it was Tlascalan Indians who
settled on the south bank of Santa
Fe and there built San Miguel's
chapel and what is pointed out as
the oldest home in Santa Fe.
The history OF New Mexico from
1898 to 1876 by Geronimo de Ia
rate Salmeron is the next chapter.
1t hegins with the story of Fran
cisco Vasquez Coronado and bis
remarkable journeys. The story
of the pueblos OF San Marcos anc
San Cristobal as we'll as othei
pueblos no longer occupied forms
an interesting chapter.
The book also gives the histor'
les OF the founding OF the principal
cities of Mexico, including Quere
taro, Saltillo, Monclovo, Preside
Rio Grande del Norte, Biographies
and a wealth Of other material
about the Toltecs, Mayas and 9th.
er Mexican tribes.

COIfax County Is
Big Asset To State
Contributes More To Maintain The
State Than Any Other County;
State Taxes $137,386.

Assistant State Auditor A. j..
Fisher on Monday made out the
warrants for the 90 per cent back
salaries that the state still owed its
servants at the capitol.
Mr.. Fisher has just finished the
compilation Of the taxes that the
taxpayers Of the state contributed
during the past two fiscal years to
the support Of the state and its ac-
tivities. The total amounts to the
handsome sum OF 81, $50, 744.7I or
about S. for every man, woman
and child in the state. Unfortu-
nately, the burden is not distribut-
ed so uniformly, for the number Of
taxpayers is only a small proper.
sion Of the population OF. the state.
Colfax county is rated as the
heaviest contributor to the states
exchequer, the amount totalling
SIs7, $50 II. This tax does not
include the contribution for county
and municipal purposes.
Bernalillo county is fifth among
the contributors to the state, Santa
Fe county is twelfth, Sandoval and
Taos counties contributed the least
the two together paying only one
fifth OF the taxes that the county Of
Chaves pays, and Santa Fe county
only one-half as much as Dona
Ana.
1t is physically impossible to adj
just a more potent fact as to the
valuation of property in Coliax
county than the compiled figures
above. 1t brings out to the public
the fact that this county is rich in
natural resources and broad in
area, with but comparative small
section Of the former in operation
or in the process OF being develop
ed.
In point OF resources and devel-
opment along conservative lines,
Colfax county stands out as the
peer Of all counties in the state,
and the burden OF taxation to sup
port the commonwealth falls heav-
lest upon the combined interests o.
the county.

Women Will Ask
For Needed Laws
Women Fedelation Of Clubs VIII
Ask For Appropriation To AL
leviate Suffering OF Poor.

The following circular which is
in part a communication from the
president of the New Mexico Fed
GRAFTON OF Women's clubs, is of
much interest;
The arrival of cold weather and
the coming of the Christmas sea-
son when the thoughts of all kind
hearted people turn toward the re-
lief of the poor and the unfortunate,
should make every thoughtful citi-
zen of New Mexico consider the
conditions in this state, standing
practically alone, as it does, among
the states of the union. in making
absolutely no provisions for public
charity. There was a time when
it was proudly asserted that New
Mexico boasted of her lack of poor
houses and poor funds, a lack
which should be a cause OF shame
instead of pride unless the state
could also boast that there we're no
poor within her boarders. Unfor-
tunately the poor we have always
with us, in New Mexico as we'll as
the rest of the world, a fact which
may be quickly corroborated by ap-
rlicntion to- any one of the various
benevolent organizations scattered
over the state which run the gamut
from tag days to charity balls in
their efforts to coax a few dollars
from the pockets of the public to
relieve the suffering in their sever
al communities.
In New Mexico, as elsewhers,
the greater part of this relief work
is carried on by women, either as
individuals or in organizations so
it seems very fitting that the New
Mexico Federation of Women's
clubs, representing as it does,
women's organizations all over the
state, should take the lead in urg-
ing some legislation which will
compel some public aid to the poor
and helpless and will provide the
necessary means for giving this
aid.

Unpublished
History Of Maxwell
Home Forgotten

Volumes of unpublished history
are hidden beneath what is prac-
tically the ruins of the Maxwell
home south of the Cimarron river,
in old town. Anticipated in struc-
ture. the Maxwell house has domi
ciled every race and class of peo
pie on the globe, and all shared
alike the genial hospitality OF the
man VIII ose name still is connecte
with the landmark that separates
the new from the old.
The Maxwell house was head
quarters for the miners, stookmen,
tourists and what not, and the me-
dium Of exchange was principally
gold which was weighed on tiny
scales before it was coined. But
the house that once was popular is
now going to ruins gradually and
its past is forgotten.

Mineral Production
In New Mexico
On The Increase

The output of New Mexico mines
for eleven months of 1914, with an
estimate for December, according
to preliminary figures by Charles
w. Henderson of the United
States Geological Survey, indicate
a yield of SI,I72, 900 in gold, t.
72o, oo6 ounces of silver, I,s4o, 900
pounds of lead, $4,000, 600 pounds
of copper, and I8, 800, 900 pounds
Of zinc Gin terms of spelter and
zinc in zinc oxide.) These figures
show increases of Saoo, 600 in gold,
90, 600 ounces of silver, 9, 900, 600
pounds of copper, and 1900, 600
pounds Of zinc, and a decrease OF
100000 pounds of lead. De-
spite lower prices for metals the
total value was SG8o7o, 900 in
1914, against SII, $4,000 in 1913,
an increase Of Ss76, 900.
The Mogollon district which in
1913 yielded S6Io,SS6 in gold and
1906, 700 ounces of silver, showed
"a small increase for 1914. Con-
siderable metallic gold and silver
were marketed from Pinos Altos,
in addition to ores shipped. The
output OF the gold and silver bear
ing siliceous and copper ores of the
Lordsburg district increased. The
Whiteoaks district, Lincoln county
continued to produce gold bullion.
The Elizabethtown district, Colfax
county, remained the principal
plscer-producing district. The
Oro Grande district, in Otero
county, and the San Pedro district
Santa Fe county, contributed gold
and silver in copper ores.
