IMMIGRATION BUREAU OF NEW MEXICO
There have been most Jealous aud i'll
teliigcnt efforts made the last eight years
by IL officers Of lie immigration bureau
to show forth the resources Of our largely
unoccpped territory. More than IS usual
in such state commissions depends upon
the secretary OF the bureau. This office
has been happily given under the present
administration to Col. Max Frost, and he
is most worthily discharging its manifold
duties, While ably supported by other
members Of the bureau. No one has ac-
complished so much ior New Mexico in
the short time he has been secretary.
Col. Frost is tireless and tenacious work
er at anything he wishes 10 accomplish.
No one in New Mexico has better kno"l-
edge Of its prominentc citizens aud OF what
they can do. Few are so we'll acquainted
by personal observation with the various
sections of this territory. Col. Frost has
had peculiar facilities for knowing what
their resources are and the progress made
in their development. Quick i'll percep-
ton Of methods to interest others in our
territory, he knows where the men are to
follow or to make suggestions and TO put
them into execution.
The New MrXICAN, more than any
other paper devoted to the interests oil
our commonwealth, assists Col. Frost. Its
columns are daily filed with the most im'
portant information that can be gathered
from all parts of the territory. The i'm
migration bureau under the present man
agement has thus in fact, instead OF 4
semi-annual report as hitherto, a daily
publication that is scattered widely to
readers who pay for it, and therefore
value what it says, throughout New Mex
lea and in other states Of the union, and
across the Atlantic ocean.
II is found in commercial reading
rooms, libraries and advertising agencies
and in the lands Of capitalists and others
who have an eye on this whole country.
Outside papers look to it for what is going
on politically and otherwise in New Mex
leo. The jhdicious and able correspond
ents of the New MEXICAN not only dwell
on the lands they describe, but are sent
out to gather information in all sections
with unparalleled minds. The facts are
disseminated in daily and weekly editions
and condensed into neat and attractive
pamphlets that are mailed by scores or
hundreds every month in answer to many
inquiries by letters. A manufacturer in
England very recently seeing copy OF
the NEW MEXICAN containing informa-
ton as to the opportunities for wool
securing mills here, Immediately wrote,
asking what were the announcements
which would be given to such an estab-
ishment. Many wealthy manufacturers
have sons trained to their business who
want to put their energy, skill and capital
into new enterprises of which they have
practical knowledge at home.
The present secretary has been an UNI
tlinching advocate of statehood, upon the
accomplishing of which large immigra-
ton into New Mexico depends. In every
way he has been one of the foremost in
Weakening the people OF the state to
push forward the statehood movement,
and to support the members Of the COLI
vention in their laudable work. The re-
suits of the state convention will be made
widely known by the immigration bureau
as potent means to arrest attention and
draw people to us. No measure hitherto
has been SO successful in this regard as
the railroad exhibition of two cars loaded
with New Mexican productions, now pass
ing for 1900 miles through towns and
cities on the great thoroughfares, and
stopping long enough to astonish peoples
OF other states with the capabilities OF
New Mexico. Instead of minerals, III
which we have in past years distanced all
other states in great expositions, the i'm
migration bureau has sent fruits and grains
and vegetables of the finest quality and
appearance commanding admiration. The
columns of eastern papers are filled with
our praises and pass the word on to hun
dreds OF thousands OF readers.
