Our next stopping point was Trinidad,
Colorado, where we were rendered sup
per at the fine hotel which has just been
erected, the name of which we have for
gotten. Both the hotel and the supper
were the best we found on the entire
route. Trinidad is one of the most SUD-

in the southwest. A fine ball, the most
complete one We attended was given in
the elegant new opera house.

Of large mining business and cattle
trade, and the valley Of the Las Animas
or Purgatoire river, as this stream is
known there, contains $4,000 acres of
land, which can be irrigated and is very
productive. The whole country seems
to be underlaid with coal of an excel
lent cooking quality. There are three
distinct veins, the lowest of which is
the largest-12 to IA feet thick. Besides
coal, fire-clay, pottery clay, ochres,
building stone, limestone, Portland ce-
ment and gypsum are found in large de-
posits. The churches are: Methodist,
Methodist South, Presbyterian, Catho.

The out put OF coal from the mines Of
Colorado will, without doubt, reach

We found E. w. Spencer carrying

noticeable, and the two Wheelock boys,
Jesse and Fred. We remembered Jesse
as one of our carrier boys in 1871, and
was hardly prepared to see in him the

To our notion Albuquerque is the
most thriving city we saw ON the trip,
and this is saying much for it. The old
town lies back across the river, and is
reached from the new portion by line
of street cars, just as at Las Vegas. The
new town is only three years old, and
yet it counts Its $4,000 and SIS. 900
business blocks by the dozen, while
there are others which cost double these
figures. The men who have hold of
the strings are good dryers, and there
Is grit and push in every movement.
Large blocks are going up
on every hand. It Is the county seat of
Bernsllo county. This county has s.
100000 sheep, and last year Albu-
querque shipped 100000 pounds of
wool. The county is in good shape
