GOVERNOR PRINCE SPEAKS.
, Among others who speak highly of th'
Pecos valley arc exGov. l.. Bradford
Prince and the late Jay Gould. Ex-Gov
Prince is an enthusiast. He says Off
cially:
TERRITORY or New MEXICO
Executive Office,
Santa Fe, N. NJ, July %, 1891.
= To Whom it May Concern:
s From recent personal observation d
d well as from full information, both of
S fetal and otherwise, am able to speak il
@ the most favorable manner of the Peco
n valley as field for immigration. Tn
: valley itself presents exceptional ad
vantages i'll this regard, on account of tn
Z, fertility of the soil, the peculiar excellenc
y of the climate, and it's never-failing sup
ply of water, augme by living springs
;, which make it impossible to injure tn
country below by using all the waite
y above. The companies which control tn
, property and its development are com
y posed OF gentlemen of high standing, larg
y resources and extraordinary energy, VIII
!, are anxious in every way to make tn
:. settlement of the valley a success, an
y add to the prosperity and happiness o
- the individuals who locate there. TIL
titles are all direct from the United States
= as no Spanish or Mexican land grant
:, exist in that part of New Mexico, and ar
! therefore perfect and undisputed.
, l.. BRADFORD PRINCE,
Governor of New Mexico
|, WHAT JAY GOULD SAID.
!. The Pecos also enjoys the advantage
}. of being the only locality to which tn
= late Jay Gould lent the weight of his en-
= dorsement. His letter speaks for tsel
and while it has been published before it
reproduction is not amiss here:
after passing through the Pecos vale
from the crossing of the Texas d Paciti
railroad to Eddy am impressed with tn
wonderful richness of the soil; with it
peculiar adaptation to irrigation and wit
an ample supply Of water. 1t will not b
long before it becomes one of the riches
valleys in the United States What wa
particularly interested in is the effect q
the dry, pure air on bronchial troubles
Speaking from personal experience Their
is no better region than this for person
thus suffering. The effect is immediat
and improvement rapid"
(signed) JAY GOULD.
COL. NErTLEToN's OPINION.
Col. Edwin s. Nettleton, who constructe
the first large irrigation ditchin the Unite
States at Greeley, and has had the w1des
experience in irrigation in an official re
port to the secretary of agriculture says
'Owing to the fine climate, permittin
the raising of nearly all of the product
~, that can be grown in semi-tropical cl
mate, including the fruits, excepting til
citrus) and the large and constant waite
supply, the Pecos valley will be the la,
gest and one of the richest, if not tn
richest, and best cultivated valley in Ne
Mexico. The irrigable lands are bein
rapidly taken upand occupied by Englis
speaking people, large percentage {
y whom are from the northern and easter
states" p. 1S, pit. 2, Irrigation and Cult
