Inspecting the Robinson Ditch-Taos Walls
ley Canal

W. +. Porter, civil and mining en-
gineer from Pennsylvania, has been
visiting various points in the territory,
and yesterday he put in the day here
looking up the charter and general status
of the Robinson-guy-ditch. He seemed
to be satisfied with what he learned, and
to-day he left for La Joya station on the
D. & r. G. road to look over the projected
route of the canal, and it may be that he
can succeed in interesting Pennsylvania
capital in its construction.
TAOS VALLEY CANAL.
Speaking OF another irrigating enter
prise, Washington special says: "Ex-
Gov. Thomas c. Fletcher, OF Missouri, is
in the city looking after legislation in the
interest of the Taos Valley Canal COM
pany, of New Mexico. This company is
composed principally Of st. Louis capital
lists, and it proposes to build monster
irrigation ditch in the Taos valley, its es-
timated length being l40 miles. A bill
to grant the necessary right of way has
been introduced in the house by Delegate
Joseph, of New Mexico. The bill also
contains a provision granting the COM
pany every alternate section OF land TO,
three miles on each side OF the ditch and
for distance of twenty miles along the
line. The bill has been referred to the
committee on agriculture"

100000 capital will 60 to Cerrillos. \

100000 capital will 60 to Cerrillos. No
one acquainted with the resources OF
southern Santa Fe county can doubt
that Cerrillos is destined to be the great
est ore reducing center in the west. EX-
perience proves that it is cheaper to
transport ore to the fuel and fux than to
reverse this order of things, besides it is
known that the hard coal at CerrillOs
when mixed with small proportion Of
the excellent coke manufactured there
make the best blast furnace fuel to be had.
The testimony Of the Mining and En-
cheering Journal-a very high authority
is quite sufficient on this subject. 1t
says:
"a plant with sufficient capital and ex
perience behind it should be able to man
ufacture pig iron at Cerrillos as cheaplv
as at Birmingham. Ala. Were a blast
furnace established at this point, the mar
kets Of Old Mexico, the Rocky mountain
region and the Pacific slope which con-
sumo probably not less than ! 900 tons of
pig iron per day, would be directly accessi-
BILE to it, with "A difference in freight in
favor of Cerrillos over Missouri river and
other eastern points of 81 to $l2 per ton.
Charcoal iron could also be manufactured
as cheaply as ii can be made anywhere in
the United States, as the ore, limestone
and fuel in the shape Of pinion pine char
coal would come all from the same
ground"
1t is understood that the Cerrllos Town
company in which Messrs. Prince, Me
Laughlin, Mckenzie and other Santa
Feans are interested, stands in readi-
ness to donate Messrs Cowles, Condor
q Nelson ample lands for the erection OF
their proposed plant at CerrillOs.
