ones, together with the Las Vegas range
on the east, constitute what is known as
the Pecos rim, and to one standing near
the center of the park the vast amphi-
theatre surrounded by this river presents
a scene of surprising loveliness.
The country is mainly heavily tim
bered with pine and other evergreens on
the high lands and deciduous trees along
the streams, but it is interspersed with
beautiful parks and mesas.
Everywhere are clear streams, the home
Of the brook trout, and animal life abounds
in the forests, Including deer and other
large game. 1t is, indeed, the paradise
OF the sportsman and the lovers of natural
beauty But the determination of this
game is sure to occur within few years
if the present wholesale methods OF de-
struction are allowed to continue.
Within this region are all the sources
OF the Rio Pecos, which river is now
furnished with bitches for irrigation of a
larger area than any other stream in the
territory.
Here arise many tributaries of the Rio
Grande, and also on the east of the Mora
and the Canadian, which streams sup
ply the water for great areas of cultiva-
ton.
1t is therefore of the greatest import
ance that the destruction of tie forests
about the sources of these streams be
stopped by the setting apart of this tract
for public use.
This region is not adapted for settle
ment by reason of the deep SHOWS that
fell there, but for a summer resort it is
cool and delightful, and has every attrac-
ton to render it favorite camping
ground

THE RAIN EXPERIMENTS
The Government Outfit Will Set OF it's
Big Bombs at EI Paso.

Ell PAso, Texas, Sept. 1.-The rain fall
expedition which has been conducting
experiments at the Chicago ranch, twen-
ty-fve miles from Midland will proceed
at once to Ell Paso. Mr.. John T. Ellis,
who is in command of the expedition
during Gen. Dyrenforth's temporary alb
sence in Washington, is making prepare
tons to have a grand test at Ell Paso.
The mayor and citizens Of Ell Paso have
offered to bear all expences of the expert
ments, but this offer has only been &C.
cepted in part. The smalness of the
appropriation under which the rain pro-
ducers have been working compels the
acceptance of some outside help.
Many prominent Mexcans have written
that they will be present to see Uncle
Sans experts make rain and from letters
received by Mr.. Ellis hundreds of people
from all parts of Texas will be here on
the day OF the test. A delegation from
southeastern Texas came to see Mr.. Ellis
yesterday and offered to advance $4,000
to defray the expenses of further expert
ments there. Gov. Hogg is greatly in
terested on the subject and is in cores
pondence With Secretary Rusk regarding
the continuance of the experiments in
this state at the expense of the citizens.
The rain maker will probably go straight
to southwestern Texas from Ell Paso and
continue the experiments there.

SURVEYOR GEN'L'S REPORT.
An Interesting Official Document which
Gen. Hobart has Sent to
Washington.
The Public Lands and Mines-The Land
Court-Pecos Park Recon-
mendations and Sug-
gestions.

The report Of Edward f. Hobart, sur
veyor general of New Mexico, which has
just been made to the commissioner of
the general land office, shows that during
each of the past two years surveying con-
tracts have been let to the full amount of
OF the annual allotment of 10000 to New
Mexico from the general appropriation
for surveying public land. This fact
speaks we'll for the progress of settlement
in New Mexico, and consequent demands
for surveys by settlers.
The total length of different lines sur
veyed during the past year amounts to
$50 miles. Three hundred and sixty
townships and other plats have been
made in the office the past year.
During the year the question which has
been anoying this office and the people
for years as to the location of the boun-
Diary line between New Mexico and Ari-
zona has been settled permanently.
The report says:
81 also desire to say at this time that
the progress Of settlement, as well as the
interests Of the government in this terri
tory, demand a speedy settlement as to
the location of the eastern line of New
Mexico. | infer from correspondence
had with your Office that this matter will
not be much longer deferred, and it will
be a matter greatly to be deplored if the
true position of the boundary line be-

of which is but twenty varas, or fifty-fve
feet, wide, are held only by the title Of
uninterrupted or peaceable possession
reaching back sixty years or more.
These lands were segregated from the
Mexican domain and are held by the
right Of prescription under "the laws,
usages and customs of Spain and Mex
ico."
The treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo covers
such cases and obliges the United States
to respect them. To disregard them now
would be to confscate their homes and
commit a wanton injustice.
Now, can Cosme Garlic, for instance,
who owns strip of fifty varas, or eight
and one-third rods wide, amounting to
forty acres, on which is his home and his
little cultivation near the river, and which
runs back across three sections, over the
hills where he gets his fire.wood-can
this land holder have survey OF his
strip made, connecting his lines with the
corners of the public survey, and by filing
such survey and making proof of the
facts, enter this strip at the local land
office? If he can do so full instructions
should be issued to the register how to
pIOCGeu Ill SuCu CaStS.
If he can not, under the law, enter his
land, it is most earnestly requested that
the department ask for such amendment
of the law rs will enable him to do so.
1t is unworthy of the government to
tender to this people justice and free
titles to their labds and then couple with
this liberal offer conditions that they can
not comply with and further enact that
their homes shall be confiscated at the
end of two years if these impossible con-
ditions are not complied with. Justice
requires that this law be amended as soon
as possible so as to allow the entry of
lands in pieces of the shapes in which
they are actually held.
PROPOSED PECos PARK.
desire to renew the recommendation
that the mountain region northeast OF
Santa Fe be set aside as public park
with the following boundaries (The
boundaries given exclude the Cooper set
tlement and include an additional noun
tain area on the north.)
The proposed park covers the southern
extremity of the main chain Of the Rocky
mountains. Its average altitude is over
5000 feet. Of the mountains within it
Lake Peak is 12,202 feet high, Baldy is
1860 and the Las Truchas peaks, furth-
er north, rise over $4,000 feet above the
sea. 1t is most beautiful region ad.
mirably adapted to the purpose OF sum-
mer camping ground for the people.

tween Texas and New Mexico and be-
tween New Mexico and the public
land strip is not determined in the near
future.
Settlers do not care to locate upon
lands which can not be surveyed, and it
is not possible to survey lands which
close upon line, the proper position of
which is still in doubt.
The boundary is the 1O3d meridian, but
the position of that meridian on the
ground has never been permanently and
satisfactorily determined. In the mean
time the inhabitants of strip miles in
width escape taxation. 1t is earnestly
requested that further legislation be asked
for by the department.
MINING.
From July l, 1890, to June 80, 1891,
there was deposited on account of the
survey Of mining claims $2,175. During
the same time applications were made
for surveys aggregatng sixty-fve mineral
locations.
At the end OF the year all approved
mineral surveys had been plated, and
the transcripts of field notes and plats
transmitted.
The amount deposited for surveys and
the number Of surveys applied for is con-
siderably in excess of business done dur
Ing the fiscal year ending June 80, 1890,
and indicates an increased prosperity in
the mining interests OF New Mexico.
A great increase has been noted in the
activity of the Magdalena mining district
in the matter of surveys; in this district
alone twenty-five locations have been sur
veyed and the field notes thereof returned
to this office. The activity in this district
is not owing to speculation, but may be
attributed to the increased price Of lead
ore. This increase in price is owing to
the exclusion of ores of the same char
acter from the mines of Mexico. Most of
the mines in this district are now being
worked with profit to the owners, and it
is hoped that the present prosperous con-
dition of the miners in this locality will
continue, as there is no doubt that it will
if existing prices continue to prevail.
Several times during the year just closed
/ have called your attention to discre-
pancies which exist between the public
and mineral surveys. A complete re-
survey Of the White Oaks mining district
has been ordered, so that shall soon be
able to make correct map of that region.
Similar discrepancies exist at other places,
and am of the opinion that like ex-
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-09-02
animation should be had in every import
ant mining district in the territory.
GRANTS

In regard to private land claims, beside
making a re-survey of the Las Trampas
grant, reported No. q, which has reduced
the area Of that confirmed claim from 46.-
461 to %, 13l acres, this office has been
very busy putting the Spanish documents
in the archives IN such shape that they
will be available for the information of
the land court, and in comparing and
correcting the records of Spanish docn-
ments that had been made under prev
ious administrations. -Four hundred and
fifty folio pages Of such records have been
examined and compared, of which $50
pages have been fully corrected. Seventy
five additional pages have deem recorded.
The act OF congress approved March 3,
1891, entitled Gan act to establish court
of land claims and to provide for the set
tlement of private land claims in certain
states and territories" will doubtless re-
suit in great benefit to this territory; sec
tons IS, II and IS of this act provide for
the securing of titles to small holdings of
land through the agency of the land Off
GERS of the government.
This class of cases is many times moro
numerous than are those that will come
before the land court. As less than
twenty months remain of the time with
in which claims of this class must be filed,
it is important that the department, as
soon as possible, pass upon the meaning
of the law and explain its provisions to
the people. 1t is evidently the intention
of the law to enable the people to get
title to the little irregularly shaped pieces
of land which they have occupied and
cultivated from time immemorial.
This is accomplished by sec. 16, where
the land is unsurveyed, but the greater
part of the settled portion of the territory
is surveyed land. How can land holder
on surveyed landlcomply with the porvis-
sions of sec. II of the act? As sample
of the manner in which land has become
divided up during generations, and is
now held in Spanish settlements through
out this territory, | here submit dia-

Immediately west of the city of Santa Fe

Some vaIuabIe Hints Regarding the Grippe

Some valuable Hints Regarding the Grippe
Signs Of Its Approsch and How to counfsr-
act Them.
The discussion as to the cause OF the grippe
of course interesting. but gives little satls-
faction to its unfortunate victims. whether
caused by microbe or vagaries OF the weather.
its ravages continue and the country still bends
under the scourge In Chicago. recently, the
deaths from this cause were SO great tnat the
undertaking facilities of the city were lnsum-
cient to meet the emergency. The deatn rate
Is correspondingly high all through the NORTH

taken. It becomes extremely dimcult to dis

Hence its name. 1t generally commences with
a slight headache, or pains In the small OF the

even as plain a hint as this-a feeling OF nght-

the fact that pure whisky alone must be taken.

rrRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT,


WASHINGTON, April THE large popu-
lation adjacent to Pittsburg devoted to the
pottery business, as well as every lover of
fine porcelains, will be interested in re-
port just sent to the State Department by
Commercial Agent Griffin, stationed at
Limoges, France. Following statistics
showing the increase of the manufacture in
the last three or four years, Mr.. Griffin says
it is remarkable, in looking over the e1-
ports from this district to the United States,
to notice the effects of the new tariff:
Although the duty on china was un-
changed, there was an extra charge made on
the packing. The result has been an in
crease of about ~ per cent in the exports,
notwithstanding the packing charges, and
in spite of the hue and cry made by the
French press that expectations would be
excluded by the new duties
A Decided Increase Shown.
THE months of October, November, De-
cember and January just passed show an in
crease of almost one-third over the corre-
spending months of last year and almost twice
as much as for the same period in any year
since 1854. The porcelain manufactured to-day
for expectation to the United States is Of
finer and more valuable grade than formerly;
lew houses attempt the manufacture of cheap
goods: the decorations are becoming richer and
richer: the shapes are timer and more artistic.
The American taste is said to be the finest
and most highly cultivated of any to which the
manufacturers cater. The average price of
goods has increased considerably. This is
solely due to the richness of decorations and
styles. The price of labor has a downward
tendency; there has not been published single
increase in wages. The supply OF skilled and
unskilled labor is greater than the demand,
consequently there has been a corresponding
amount OF suffering among the laboring
classes.
Machinery Succeeds Hand Work.
Machines of different kinds are being intro
duced all the time to diminish hand labor and
thereby the cost of kneading. molding, eGam-
cling. etc, is reduced to a minimum. Another
process that has lately been employed, as yet
secretly, but with great success, is the use of
electricity in clarifying the kaolln paste. The
impurities which discol or and give yellowish
tinge to the ware are eliminated, and poorer
quality of kaolln can be made to produce as
fine china as the best clay.
The reduction in price is said to be from to
francs (96 cents to 81 35) per 100 kilogrammes.
The principal market for Limoges china is the
United States. Between two-thirds and three
fifths of all that is manufactured is sent
thither. The home market is of little account;
the cheap German and English china, with the
poorer kinds of Faience, undersell the better
porcelain of home factories. Next after the
United States and France are England, Russia,
South America and Spain, in the order named"
