Mexico now has forty-one na tional and thirty-four territorial banks with aggregate total resources of twenty-four and a halt millions and total capital of nearly three and a half millions, was pointed out with pride by Governor Curry in his ed dress before the second annual ses sion of the New Mexico Bankers' As sociation which convened recently.

The bonded debt of the territory said the governor, is only $1,002,000, and to this must be added certificates of Indebtedness amounting to $92,500, but from which must be deducted $93,000 worth of bonds redeemed on September 1 of this year, leaving a net debt of $1,001,600 or about 25 cents per capita of population.
