Yesterdays storm seems to have been
general all over New Mexico and much
good will come from the snow and rain
fall. The snow extended as far south as
Albuquerque and Socorro, and below
those points it rained for eighteen hours.
Fifty miles south of Santa Fe there was
five inches of snow, while here there was
scarcely an inch of the beautiful and
this is to-day about gone.
Governor Prince has been asked by the
editors of the "North American Review"
to prepare an article on the propriety of
the admission of New Mexico as state.
This is fortunate and important fact,
for the Review reaches the leaders of
public opinion all over the country. The
governor is at work on this article,
whenever opportunity offers, and expects
to send it on by the end of this week. It
is to contain 5000 words.
Two special trains, hauling ten coaches,
containing about 300 e1cursionists from
New England, reached the city last night
and after ten hours stay here left di-
rect for southern California. They said
they found no such sunshine as Santa Fe
greeted them with any where along the
road. At Chicago they stopped day in
the midst of ten inches of snow and the
mercury at 16 below zero. DR.. Geo. W.
Gay, of Boston, was of the party. He
brought letters from the Misses Glider
sleeve and called on DR.. Symington.

prevailed this morning that Trujillo, the

the crime, but dispatch sent to Espa-
nola brought back word that nothing had
been heard of it there.
