In the report OF an interview, held with me yes
terday. q lew Inaccuracies have occurred. which
take the earliest opportunity to correct, especially
as the HERALD is almost the only New York news
paper which ever reaches the borders OF civilization.
The distance directly across the "Jornada del
Muertco Is only 100 miles, but, as travelled 1t
from 'Pararhen TO donna Anna," the route be-
comes 100 miles. The passage reading "lrom
Camer0n's Mountain to Stockton's Ranchn should
be expanded. "From the CimmOnon River, north
ward by way OF Stockten's to the Ration Noun
tains," gives the fun meaning. Only those who
have been over the ground Will perceive any dis
tinction. IL was along the eastern edge OF this
portion OF my route. from Arizona to New Mexico

that II the railroad companies would have two axes
