INFORMATION FOR SETTLERS.

Congress by the act Of Aug. 30, 1890,
has repealed the arid land act of Oct.
II, 1885, ard all land entries made by
settlers since the date Of the act
Of Oct. 2, 1888, are made valid, except
as to reservoir sites selected.
The act Of Aug. 80, 1890, limits the
amount Of land subject to entry by
any person under all the various land
laws to 800 acres.
Any legal sub-divislonal part or the
whole of said 32O acres can be entered
under the Desert Land Law, OF in
such amounts as is prescribed by the
Homestead, Presumption and Timber
Culture Laws can be entered as shall
not exceed in the aggregate 800
acres.
The Timber Culture Law has not
been repealed But it is likely to be
repealed during the next session Of
congress which conyenes in Decem-
Der.
Settlers living on United States land
prior to Aug. 30, 1890, and who have
made reasonable improvements
thereon will be entitled to enter
said land and in addition thereto
800 acres more when desired, under
the act Of Aug. 80, 1890.
The usual exception obtains as to
the Presumption Law /. e., the entry
man must not be the owner 800 acres
ofland.
Public lands can now be safely en-
tered under any of the fore going laws (;
and settlers can be reasonably sure Of
receiving patent when they comply
with those laws in good faith.
All applications for the entry Of
land, if complete, will be acted upon
the same day they are received, office
business permitting; and all cores
pondence relating thereto will receive
prompt and courteous attention.
Settlers and all other persons are re-
quested to remit all moneys to the
Receiver after Dec. 1st, 1890 and only
currency, postal orders, express orders ;
postal notes and certified checks witt
be received.
Letters from this office to settlers
calling for additional papers should re-
ceive their prompt attention in order
that their lands may proceed to patent
rapidly.
No unnecessary requirements will
be asked for by this office.
Very Respectfully,

Of offices and was believed to be thor
oughly competent. He returned the
inhabitants at less than six hundred.
If this had been an ordinary district
the deficiency would nave been In
noticed, and the report accepted as
as correct, but being a Pueblo town,
there was recent count made by the
Indian Agency with which to COM
pare it, and as that showed over nine
hundred inhabitants, there was an
obvious mistake, and a new euumer-
alton was ordered. This discrepancy
in comparatively compact district
shows how largely the population may
be understated, and is another proof
of the fallacy of the proverb that
figures will not lie."
We may safely say that the popula-
tlon Of New Mexico which should ap-
pear by the census is not less than
10000. This does not include the
Apache and Navajo Indians. OF the
former there are 1852 at the Mescalero
agency and 72l at the Jicarilla agency,
making l, ,1S3 in all. The Navajos are
estimated to number $4,000 to 2O,OOO
but as the reservation is partly in
New Mexico and partly in Arizona it
impossible to say with accuracy how
many are in eitherterritory. Asnear-
~ as can be approximated there are
1000 Of the Navajos in New Mexico,
which with the 1888 Apaches makes
II, ,lsS in all of tribal Indians.
The population by counties, accord
ing to the census, is as follows for j $50

*Partly estimated on account Of
votes disallowed by Congress.
The total registered vote in 1888 was
42,S7l. or course the ratio of popu-
lation to voters is less here than in the
East, on account of the number Of
miners and others without families,
but on the other hand, it must be re-
membcred that families of Mexican
parentage contain on the average more
children than ordinary American
families, so that the difference in the
ratio. when the whole population is
considered, is not as great as it might
appear at first sight. At all events,
no one will consider that four to one
is too high proportion, and that will
give a population among those entitled
to vote Of III. .4S4, and adding thereto
5, 27s Pueblo Indians brings it up to
49, ,7G2, almost exactly the number
found by the other method as the
population in 1888.
From the best sources Of informa-
tion, therefore, l believe that the
population of New Mexico, exclusive
Of tribal Indians, is certainly not less
than 100000 and probably 1S5, 900.
The question naturally arises as to
the large discrepancy bcteen these
figures and those returned by the cen
sus officials. The answer is three
fold.
Firstly. In sparsely settled coun-
try like this, where a considerable
fraction of the population live at
isolated ranches or mining locations,
there are always very many who are
not enumerated Few enumerators
will travel even two or three miles to
enroll single family, and not unfre-
quently the homesteads or mines are
much more distant than that from
other settlements. Lincoln county
contains over 26, 500 square miles, and
exceeds in area the four New England
States Of New Hamshire, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut, and Massachusetts,
with New jersey and Delaware added;
and this vast extent of country was
divided among only eight enumerators.
Socorro county nearly as large, like
wise constituted but eight districts.
Second Tue peculiar condition of
New Mckee as to nationality and
language; some comunities speaking
English and some Spanish, and some
being divided in language, presents an
unusual difficulty. An Engllsh-speak-
ing enumerator would naturally fail
to enumerate many Of the Mexican"
inhabitance, and Spanish speaking
one many OF the Americans"
Third. 1t can not be denied that
in a considerable number Of districts
the enumerators were careless and
did not seem TO appreciate the impor-
tance Of obtaining a full record, IL
that required much trouble. 1t is
difficult in many places in Territory
such as ours to find competent men
VINO are Wiling 10 undertake work
which lasts onlya month and is not
well paid, so that a number who
proved inefficient were necessarily
appointed for lack of other applicants.
The result was seen in returns man
ifestly imperfeci in many respects,
and in an enumeration far from COM
plete. Ordinarily this could not be
detected, as there was nothing with
which TO compate the numbers re-
ported from difftrent distIicts. But
one Instances in which the mistake
was obvious will illustrate this care
lessness and its results. The enumer-

For years 1 was afflicted with an
aggravated case of letter l tried
lotions, salyes, soaps, and other out
ward applications, without any bene-
fetal results. In addition to the
letter Boils commenced breaking out
all over my body, causing me so much
pain that had to quit work and go to
bed l then decided that / had start
ed wrong, and instead of using exter-
nal treatmen / ought to go to the seat
Of the disease and purify my blood, as
obviously bad blood that caused both
the letter and the Boils. l took
several blood purifiers without any
good effects. About the time my case
was declared incurable l commenced
taking S. S. S. In a few weeks the
letter was cured, and one by one the
Bolls disappeared, until l was entirely
and permanently cured. This was
three years ago, and since then l have
been free from any skin eruptions.
My skin is now, and has been for three
years, as any ones. S. S. S. not only
cured me of the letter and Boils, put
also restored my appetite and general
health, causing me to increase In

CENSUS RETURNS.

Gov. Prince in his annual report has
the following to say in regard to the
returns Of the late census:
The census taken during the pres
ent year has been concluded so far as
population is concerned, with the ex-
ception of the enumeration of the
Navajo and Apache Indians. The
reported result is inserted herein by
counties and census districts, and IL
shows total population Of 153,O7s.
The estimate made by the bureau Of
immigration in 1899 was 2O4, ,O9O; that
Of the United States Treasury expert,
for 1888, was lS3, ,21O and that which ]
reported year ago was 1875, 900. These
estimates were based on the voting
population as shown by elections and
registrations, and judging by them,
the most conservative computation
will make the population over $4,000.
The total vote at the election of 1880
was 2O,397, and the population was
then 1856. In 1888 the vote was
3O,51O, almost precisely so per cent.
more than in 1880. Adding the same
percentage to the population will show
that it amounted to 179, ,347 in 1888.
The number of votes at successive
elections has increased with great

what you need is a constitutional rem

people who have taken this medicine
for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss Of appetite,
and other troubles have been surprised
that it should cure THIS troublesome
cough. But to known the actual
cause Of the cough is TO solve the mys-

be traced back to the neglect Of some
such slight affection as this. Con-
sumption can be controlled in its ear
ly stages, and the effect Of Hoods
Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood,
building up the general health, and
expelling the scrofulous faint which is
the cause Of catarrh and consumption,
has restored to perfect health many
