Statement showing the population and
crop statistics for 1883, for the counties
in Dakota on the lines of or adjacent to
the road. The thirty counties enumer.
ated have total population of 1911 800,
compared with 100, 729 in 1882. The to-
tai wheat acreage was 449, ZOO bushels.
being Fl bushels to the acre; the yield Of
oats was 90. $50 bushels. at s. per acre;
Of rye.22 $40 bushels, at 30 per acre; Of
barley $1,000. at IS per acre; Of fax,
102. 240 bushels at Is per acre. These fig

be seen the Manzanas and the ruins
Of the Gran Quivira. To the west
were spread out the Nal Pals, re-
lieved by the Oscura mountains.
We could not but think of the
mountain the Book tells us Of, as
we stood upon Baxter Mountain
and looked down upon the "prom-
ised land"
On the ridge, above the Captain
shaft, the vein seems to take q
turn to the west; and the float can
be plainly traced up the mountain.
Our astonishmcnt was excited on
reaching the height to find a shaft,
the nucleus of what will ere many
moons develop into as important
and valuable q mine as New Mexi-
co can produce. 1t is appropri-
ately called the Zip Top" and
lies Immediately west of the south
end of the South IIomestakc, be
tween the Otis on the south and
the Monarch on the north. The
vein is well defined, between gran
ite walls, and as far as we could
see, shows over six feet of vein
matter, all of which will pan gold.
Of this we are assured, as the gold
shows distinct y in the shaft and on
the dump. Assays have been made
Of this ore, and the results were,
lowest, $40; highest, 1910 in gold,
per ton. 1t is frec-milling ore, and
similar in appearance to that OF
the Captain lead. The lead, to
our eyes, seemed to cress the South
llomestake and run directly to the
Old Abe, and is doubtless the
main vein of Baxter mountain.
That it will prove a fortune tor its
proprietors there can be no doubt,
at least we wouldn't be cast down
if we were one of them.
In this article, as in those here
tofore written, and which will
hereafter be written by US, we have
not drawn upon imagination or in
dulged in Munchausenism, but
have rigidly adhered to fact as we
are enabled to discriminate. A
contrary exhibit would do mine
owners no permanent good, and
would prove fatal to the character
Of the writer and the medium
through which he would dissent
nat falsely colored views. More
especially is this trne with the edi-
tor Of this paper; when the telling
of the truth and lie is the same
price, he will invariably tell the
truth.

ANOTHER TRIP AMONG THE

Baxter Mountain we have been
possessed of q desire to put our
foot upon the apex thereof, but
failed to screw our courage up to
the sticking point until the other
day when we concluded to tackle
the task--anda a task it surely was,
one, which to person not accll-
mated to such high altitude, nor
accustomed to clambcrng precepi-
tous heights, was trying upon
breathing valves and muscles of
the extremities. But having start
cd we resolved on completing our
self-imposed task, not alone to
CRAFTY our own curiosity but to
impart our experience aud obser-
vation to our readers.
En- route we reached the South
Homestake, where we struck the
drift and shaft of the Captain lead,
and followed the vein on through
corner of " Hell's Half Acre." (it
would seem as though He'll had a
"half acre" everywhere In Kan
sas City the "half acre" with the
sulphurous prefix really contains
many acres and from there we
scaled the mountain to its peak.
where, after blowing like a por-
poise for many minutes, we took a
view of the surroundings.
The sight was worth the effort
made to attain it. The vision
seemed to take in all the world, es-
topped only by the drapery OF
heaven as it fell in graceful folds
on either side of the arch. To our
front, as we looked to the south,
were the snow-capped tops OF the
White mountains, seemingly but a
very short distance from us, and as
we stood, bathed in the sunlight,
with uncovered head and hair
moist from the pervading heat, the
snow did really look beautiful, "
and we longed for a handful Of it
to cool our parched mouth. Be
meath us was White Oaks, with its
wide streets and pretty drive-ways,
picturesque as the most vivid i'm
agination could draw it, now but
what is denOminated q camp, but
destined soon to rise to the proper
tons and dignity of an important
city. Stretching below us, too,
was Baxter gulch and the many
placer workings. Southeast stood
out in fine relief the Patos and Car
izo mountains. East were the il
carillas and plains beyond reaching
TO the Rio Pecos. North of us
stood Lone mountain beyond and
a little to the loft OF which could

a few months since several pa
pers in the Territory busted them
selves in throwing cold water on
the project of celebrating the third
anniversary of the birth of New
Mexico. We then predicted that
wet blankets enough could not be
procured in the Territory to cxtin-
guish the ardor of the people touch
ing the patriotic scheme indicated,
and that the journals then making
themselves hoarse in crying down
the proposition would be found to
be the noisiest when the day of ex-
ultation came. Sure enough. AL
ready all opposition has ceased, and
triumph foreshadows the coming
exhibition. The following are
few of the sample bricks upon
which we build our prognostica-
tions:
a $1,000 soda fountain will be
placed on exhibition by Boston
manufacturer.
A race track is being graded in
the exposition grounds, and sever
al parties have already announced
their intention to bring horses from
abroad. Liberal premiums will be
offered.
One feature about the grounds
will be the arrangement of the
shrubs and plants indigenous to
New Mexico, grouped in plats to
show the different varieties. The
Cactus family will be shown in its
many different and beautiful forms.
The fibre plants Of the Territory
are especially calculated to attract
attention, as they are already com
ing into use by the manufacture of
cordage, paper, etc.
The assistance people in every
part Of the Territory is invited to
make their collections as compre-
hensivc as possible.

will be made to have Capt. Salazars'
Militia Company, which is admira-
bly, drilled, visit Santa Fe, and
give an exhibition drill. The Com
pany have been doing some good
work lately, and the people are
anxious to see the Rustler hunters.

devoted to the Mineral Exhibit. A

from Mohave County, Arizona.

Last week we briefly acknow-
lodged the receipt Of a private let
ter from an esteemed subscriber,
in which he criticised an article of
ours, We promised to reply this
week. This we do, more because
our critic is valued friend, and
that others of his ilk may have
construed our words as he did,
than for the reason that we deem
elucidation of our sentiments as OBJ
lected to necessary. Our language
was plain, true, and not offensive,
nor was it oflensively intended. -

My Dear Sir {:

sions in your leader on st. Patrick,

with displeasure by many Of the
well-wishers Of the LEADER. Your
paper is read, and paid for, and
backed by many who were on the
Southern side in the late unhappy
war. The war was fought on prin-
ciples at any rate. 1t has been
ended 20 years, and we bow to the
result, nor will we take second
place to any men who differed from

fallen foe. The quotation is -

children before they do moustahes !;
they are fathers of twins before they
are proprietors of two pairs Of pants,
and the little girls they marry are
old women before they are twenty
years old. Occasionally one Of these
gosling marriages turns out all right,
but it is a clear case of luck. If there
was a law sginst young saloots spark

cut their teeth, We suppose the little
cusses would evade it in some way.
but there ought to be a sentiment
against it. 1t is time enough for
these bantams to think Of finding
a pullet when they have raised enough
money to buy a bundle of laths to
build hen house. But they see a
girl who looks cunning, and they are
afraid there is not going to be girls
enough to 60 around, and then they
begin to get in their work real spry !;
and before they are aware of the sane
tity of the marriage relation they are
pitched together for life, and, before

they have to get up in the night and
