The approved accounts unpaid to June 30, 1901, in Luna County amounted to $976.75. This is a new county, created by act of the last legislature from parts of Dona Ana and Grant counties, with Deming as the county seat. It has a total assessed valuation of real and personal property for the year 1901 of $1,310,808.65. No bonds have thus far been issued for any purpose whatever. Said county of Luna is liable, under section 9 of the act of March 16. 1901, entitled "An act to create the county of Luna," etc., "to pay to the said county of Dona Ana such proportion of the indebtedness of said county of Dona Ana, less cash on hand, as the assessed value in 1900 of the property situated in said part thereof hereby included in Luna County bears to the total assessed valuation of property in Dona Ana County for the year 1900," but as Luna County's proportion of that indebtedness is based upon the tax value of 1900, and has not at this date been adjusted by Dona Ana County, it can not here be stated. The matter of Luna County's proportion of the indebtedness of Grant County is as yet also undetermined. M'KINLEY COUNTY. McKinley County was created by act of the legislative assembly of 1898-99 out of the western part of Bernalillo County, which act provided that it should not be formally organized until January 1, 1901. The assembly of 1900-1901 increased its area to 3,255,940 acres by further additions from Bernalillo County, and also attaching thereto part of western Valencia County. The assessment roll shows the assessed valuation of property in McKinley County to be $1,204,883. The amount of taxes due for 1901 on this valuation is $48,738.34. Thus far all salaries and other running expenses of the new county, including the expense of organization, are paid in full to date. The only indebtedness of McKinley County September 1, 1901, consists in an issue of $35,000 in bonds to cover its proportion of the bonded debt of Bernalillo County.
