While sympathizing heartily
with other counties who are trying
to exc out a precarious existence
hedging around the borders of
land grants that lay like the black
shadow of doom across their fair
expanse, Lincoln county rejoiceth
with pride that throughout her
whole borders she is untettered
and free from the curse of mono
poles and that in the large smooth
order of nature she has nothing to
do lHt grow.

returns as soon as completed.

THE RESOURCES OF LINCOLN
COUNTY.

Territory of Now Mexico possess
ing so many attractions and such
grand opportunities for acquiring
wealth, ease and comfort as in this
county Of Lincoln. Future devel-
mcnt will some time prove her re-
sources to be inexhaustible, while
tic people who settle within her
borders will find her climate of that
happy medium which best CON
duces to tho health, vigor and the
enjoyment of lifo.
Nature intho frs place hasmado
an equitable division Of her terri
tory into mountain, plain and valley.
Every mountain range within her
limits carries either coal or the
precious metals in quantities be-
You'd anything that has ever yet
been toll. Her plains afford graz
ing ground for vast herds Of cattle
and her valleys grow the cereals in
abundance, 50 that if she we're cut
off entirely from the outside world
there would be no difficulty in sup
porting q vast population. Along
tho valleys Of the Pocos, the lIondo,
the Bonito and various other water
courses sufficient arabic land can
DC procured to supply those who
wish TO engage in farming, while
the influx Of miners will create a
home demand for their surplus
products. Even Oh the mesas
water has been procured at no very
great depth, and the time is not
far distant when wells will be sunk,
wind-mill3 attached and magniii-
cent ranches established away
from the water courses, where as
yet thousands Of acres Of the best
grazing lands in the world lies
untouched except by the hoof Of
The deer and antelope.
Within the county lie the Gal
linas, Jicarilla, Lone, Carlo,
Patos, Ticson, Nogal, White and
Captain ranges, also several smaller
groups, together with some Of the
rich mineral districts Of the Oscu-
ras and San Andreas. In every
one Of these rangesrich mines have
been discovered and a limited
amount Of prospecting done upon
thom-for it has only been pros
pecting as yet-but the result Is
some Of the finest mineral yet dis
covered in the southwest. The
Gallinas produce fine copper,
!, galena and silver ore the Jicaril-
las rich gold placers and leads car
i rying gold Lone and Baxter group
} both gold and silver; the Carlo
5 and Patos, the finest coal west OF
the Mississippi; the Ticsons, an
immense body Of free gold ore,
while the Nogal, White mountain
t and Captain ranges have unmis.
takably the best defined leads,
t carrying free gold, silver, and ga
) lena, and more of them than any
| other locality yet known. Large
deposits Of copperorc = also found
in these mountains.
With all these advantages before
her, who can doubt that the future
Of Lincoln county is a bright one
And adding to this the fact that
she at present is the most peace
able, law-abiding county in the
Territory, and with bright pros
poets of y railroad traversing hcl
territery in a short time it viii
surely be well for those who see fit
l to come and stake off a claim
: with us.
| The Leaders, engaged in no EN-
igration scheme but speaks from 4
certain knowledge of the facts.

A Committee OF the "ReOrganized
Church of Christi Wait Upon the
President and Present
Their Version of the Utah Problem and
Its SOlutiOn-POlygamy Not Part ~
of MOrmoHism.

WASHINGTON, February 2.-The consider
alton of the Mormon question by Congress is
about to receive fresh impetus through the
presence in the citv of a committee appointed
by the general conference OF the "ReOrgan-
lied Church of Christ, (of Latter-Day Saints
TO wait on the President and Congress and
present their version If the Utah problem
and their proposed solution. L. H. Gurley
and Z. L. Kelly constitute the committee
and were presented BY Representative Kasson
to President Arthur, and had a long confer
ence with him. Their memorial sets forth
that the Mormon Church, although classed
and known generally rs Mormon" is, and
ever has been opposed TO any compromising
with that polygamic body in Utah also called
Mormon. The organized Mormon Church,
under the leadership of Joseph Smith, son of
the original Mormon head, and duly or
ganized and incorporated under the
laws OF Illinois, has for the past
thirty years opposed and denounced the doc
trines and practices of polygamy, and has
all this time kept and sustained missionaries
in Utah to preach against them, the result
being that at least ten Thousand persons in
that Territory have thus been extricated
from the corruption of polygamy and its
concomitant ills. They ask that more effect
i've measures b.. enacted and carried into
effect by the government Tor the suppression
OF polygamy in the Territories. The Nor
mon Church. says the memorial, has five
hundred organized churches four hundred
and fifty of which are in the United States,
with ministry of fifteen hundred. and
twenty thousand commandments and twenty
thousand others who sustain the church in
Its works. Nine-tenths of these are citizens
of the United States and are loyal to the
government The memorial discusses at some
length the legal questions involved, quotes
from the Book of Mormon to show that
polygamy is not part of Mormonism, but,
on the contrary is especially inhibited, and
urges the true standpoint from which to deal
with polygamy is--that it is no part of the
Mormon faith proper, but a loathsome in
cumbrance. This, they say, will prevent
those who practice polygamy from raising
the cry of persecution, and thereby holding
with them thousands of honest, ignorant
souls of their number in Utah who are
not actually engaged in the prac-
tice of this crime, and who would
otherwise repudiate it and become good
citizens. The memorial suggests additional
legislation by Congress, so that avowed
bigamists may not be allowed to sit as jurors
when one of their number is being tried for
bigamy; that the statute OF limitations be
amended that all persons, male and female,
may be punished for the crime of polygamy;
that the homestead law be SO amended that
polygamous wives shall be recognized under
the title of heads of families; that the repu-
tation OF living together and eohabitation be
received in the courts as evidence to prove

i GERMAN BOOK ON THE MIssIs-
SIPPI VALLEY

In Leipsic, Germany, book of travels in
the Mississippi valley has just been pub
lished by Won Ernst Won Hesse-Wsrtagg,
entitled Mississippi Fahrten. Reise6iIder aus
dem .4nie, ik1l,ischea SUDDEN. The author gives
a few, though not always complimentary
series of sketches of the Mississippi valley
and the people residing in it. He is shocked
by features OF low life in the great Mississippi
valley towns. The huge size of the Missis-
sippi river steamboat and its combination OF
comfort and usefulness impress him strongly.
He has something to tell OF the Kuklux
Khan unter Reichter Lynch. He says the khan
broke down, and now the name of kuklux Is
seldom heard, but Justice Lynch unfortu-
nately is not in equal oblivion. Also that
ain spite OF his apparent independence,
"the freedman still remains the step
Child of the Southern white" The
levees, plantations and the honses Of the ne
groes, including the feld-hands, appear in
these sketches. The author also tells how
he saw Memphis during the yellow-fever.
After describing The horrors OF the scourge,
The sick fallen IN the streets, the cries from
fitting by OF doctors muffied up against the
pest-ridden air, the hurried passage of the
trains, and the fight OF all who could posi-
bly, leave town, he says; But in those
towns there are many noble souls, men and
women, who do not fear death. They stay
and care for the sick and dying with self
sacrifice truly heroic, bringing them medi-
cine, watching day and night by their bed
aides and burying them al last. Unweariedly
they work, bringing in food to the
town and keeping order. America,
which people often call the coun-
try OF swindle and cold accumulation
Of wealth, contains, on the other hand, insti
uItions the like of which do not exist On
earth; contains persons who throw the ex-
amples of antiquity in the shade with their
heroism and love OF their neighbor. The
Howard Association is particularly to be
noted. 1t Is union Tor the care and sup
port Of the sick, which has branches in most
towns Of the South. Its physicians, nurses,
and agents act with the best and most char
