In the San Juan Index is a statement
which applies equally to this county. 1t
says that in the large glades that draw
down into the valleys OF San Juan county
from their surrounding bills are thousands
of acres of land that with irrigation would
be made highly productive. Most OF these
lands are so high that it is an engineer
ing impossibilty to put water upon them
from the rivers. That they will one day
be irrigated by artesian flows there can
hardly be any doubt. The geological for
nation and cOnfiguraton of the country
all indicate that there is a strong artesian
flow underneath, that to be utilized needs
only to be tapped.
White Oaks note: The banks of mag
netC and speCular iron ore are situated
close to the town. That there are i'm
mense banks is unquesticned, and that
they are valuable, is an undOubted fact,
a test having proved that 80 to 65 per
cent Of the ore was metallic iron. Coal
and iron, in such vast quantities as can
be obtained here, are in themselves
sufficient to make this town the Pittsburg
of the southwest, and endow it with
lasting prosperity. Great bodies OF
sandstone and limestone are at hand,
and only require cheap transportation
to cause their development. Their guam
tity is unlimited, their quality excellent
and the varied colors of the granite COM
mand the attention OF the public to any
building in which it was used, and be-
come permanent advertisement for
White Oaks. Marble deposits OF both
the white and black variety exist in large
quantities about three miles from the
town. Like the granite quarries, cheap
alone is required for their
development. The marble is suscep-
tible of high polish, and is OF excellent
quality.
