THE LOS TRIaOs GRANT.
Surveyor General Hobart yesterday re
ceived instructions from the general lam
Office to prepare the necessary descrlp
tive notes SO that patent for tho Los Tri
Cos grant may issue.
Hereby hangs tale. This grant consist
of some 5000 acres of land in the Gloriet
mountains on which is located tho town o
Rowe. 1t is beautiful tract, and sevel
years ago it was mostly covered with fin
timber. 1t is the property of Ma,
Hayes, of Las Vegas; Hon. T. B. Catron
of Santa Fe; W. c. Whitney, of San Fran
cisco, and others. 1t was presented t.
congress and by that body duly con
firmed July 81, 1876. In 1886 Col. Ed
Haren, of the immigration department o
the A., T. & s. F., negotiated the sale o
the tract to an eastern syndicate who's
obi ect it was to make it great summe
resort and fruit growing mart, utilizing
the waters of the Pecos river for its i'm
provsment But Surveyor General ] ulial
assaulted the title and knocked out tn
sale. Since then trespassers have vel
nigh denuded the grant of all timber
The fact that the present administrator
has decided to issue patent for the gran
only serves to emphasize this as anothe
of the unlamented Julian's official blum
ders. BY his act this property has beef
permanently damaged, and thousands q
dollars of capital has been debarre,
from coming to New Mexico for invest
ment.
