1879. Because OF lack OF capital
and distance from communion,
the mining industry languiseed un-
ill 1884, Now the product Of No
gal and White Oaks districts, is an
important part OF the total gold
production Of the Territory Of New
Mexico, and the prospect is that
that production will be trebled in
1883.
The valuation Of the County in
1855, was SO. O00 900, an increase
Of 300 per cent in > years. San
Miguel County, Containing the
important city Of Las Vegas, and
more than four times the popula-
ton o! our county, was the only
one which exceeded Lincoln in
wealth last year. Total taxation
for all purposes is but $1.3O 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 county has an efficient Pub

Chinese dragon to weaken honest

and "a lover OF freedom. Here
