New Mexico.

30 The Cerrillo Coal Fields are exten
sive, and contain deposits of bit umin
GUS and anthracite coal, very superior
in quality, equal to any in the West.
The anthracite coal fields cover an
area of 10000 acres, and the extent of
the bituminous coal can hardly be es-
timated. The value of these coal depo-
sits in this location may be Judged
when I state the fact that the Southern
Pacific Railroad gets it's supply of coal
from Oregon and Newcastle mines in
Australia; the coke for smelling works
in Southern New Mexico and Arizona
is broughtfrom England, and the Texas
and Pacific Railroad draws it's coal sup
ply from McAlister, in the Indian Ter
.ritory. The Anthracite & Bituminous
Coal Company, of which W. E. Broad
is President, and Colonel Charles ID.
Irwin Chief Engineer, owns very
large body of land embracing these
coal deposits. The company is opera
ting their anthracite mines, situated
three lies southwest of Cerrillos Sta
ton, and as soon as arrangements can
be perfected with the Railroad Com
pany for cars and rates, larger force
of men will be put to work moving the
coal. Only sixteen men are at work at
present, putting out ten tons daily and
driving the tonnel, which is already in
225 feet. The mine is in shape to
move sixty tons daily, and in twenty
days it could be in shape to move 100
tons. The vein is five feet thick, dips
southeast ten feet to the 100 feet. The
coal is undoubtedly of very fine quail
ity, and is claimed to be equal to the
best Pennsylvania anthracite. Colonel
Irwin discovered this coal in 1857, when
on an expedition to reconnoiter the
country for the Atlantic & Pacific
Railroad. This report was stoutly de-
MED by Professor Owen, at that time
an authority on geology, on the ground
that, according to known geological
laws, it was impossible that anthracite
coal should be found anywhere in the
Rocky Mountains. The coal is being
used in Santa Fe, and is giving such
thorough satisfaction as to take the
place of all other Goals. 1t will be in
great demand throughout the West
and as far east as the Missouri river.
The Bituminous mines are two and
a half miles southwest of Cerrillos.
The company is moving twenty tons
daily, and in thirty days the mines will
be in shape to mine 100 tons daily, with
capacity for any amount required. 1t
is intended to erectlarge cooking works
There are fourteen veins distinctly ira
ceable, varying from one to five and a
Dalf feet in thickness. Outcrops show
this field to cover at least 10000 acres,
and in the same tract are found con-
siderable bodies of plumbago, fire clay
and brown hematite. -DenUer Irs0at'ac'

About Editors.

Every editor loves to have his friends,
and particularly his readers call on him.
They belong to the same family, as it
were. But when you call to see the
editor don't stay too long. Editors are
generally very busy in business hours.
If you have any suggestion to make, or
news to communicate, state it III as few
words as possible. Don't offer an ex-
cuse or indulge in a long preface to
what you have to say. Blurt it ont; tell
the editor you wish him well, and tell
him good.by. Editors dote on such
men as that; they love to receive such
calls from them. Don't argue with him,
don't try to do it; he hes no time for
argument while at his work.
When you write to an editor for pub
LEGATION, make it short--boil it down.
Pitch right into the middle of your sub
ject, and be sure to stop when you are
through. Editors always like some
thing fresh and original in the way of
communications, and are especially
fond of news. But the Editor must al
ways be the Judge of what is worthy OF
publication. Of course, every writer
thinks his own production the best,
Just as every mother thinks her baby
the prettiest that ever was born. But
the editor may be so stupid rs to have
different opinion. If 80, it can't be
helped. Don't try to urge him out of
his notion. II he Is too stupid to APP
preciate a good thing, you can't expect
to remedy his dizziness. You may think
you are a good deal smarter than the
editor, and that may be true, but the
editor may be responsible and you are
not. There is no class Of men so anx-
ious to please a majority Of the people
as the editors are. There is no class OF
people so covetous of the good opinion
of others. 1t is we'll 20 remember that
fact.-PrinteT's Circular.
