that production will be trebled in

The valuation OF the County III
1885. was SIS, 900, 900, an increase
Of 700 per cent. in 5 years. San
Miguel County, containing the
important city of Las Vegas, and
more than four times the popuIa-
ton o! our county,) was the only
one which exceeded Lincoln in
wealth last year. Total taxation
for all purposes is but $1.30 per
800. County finances are flour
ishing, and the small debts of past
years are being rapidly paid from
the surplus of the present.
The heat is not great in Sum
mer, nor is the cold excessive or
long continued in Winter.
Our people are refined, cultivat-
ed, open, hospitable, and sincere.
Noone coming to cast his lot with
us need tear the lack of society, In
asmuch as it is as acceptable and
pleasinga rs any that he left behind.
Strangers are welcome, more than
welcome, if they come to settle
among us.
The county has an efficient Pub
lie School system, managed by Is
County Superintendent, and the
Directors of twenty-five school dis
tricts. Upwards OF twenty ctfici-
cient schools were in operation in
1885, and the number will be great
er in 1886. Public sentiment IA
vors a liberal expenditure OF public
money for educational purposes,
and private liberallty a be relisd
upon to make good any deticien-
cies.
There are no Gland grants" in
Lincoln County no horrid octopus
stretching ont its te~ntacles to crush
our people /; no Chinese dragon to
weaken honest labor. Our every
citizen is free, and a lover of free
dom. Here there is no alliance be-
tween religion, politics, and manli-
ness. Man is privileged to wor-
ship God in what form he pleases,
OF without form, to vote what ticket
he pleases, or disfranchise himself.
