NEW MEXICO IS ALL RIGHT.

Without recalling anything this journal
has ever said in tho way Of demanding
Justice for silver, we call attention to the
fact, patent to every thinking resident of
the territory that the resources of New
Mexico are of such vast extent and so va
ried, that there really ought not to be felt
here the hard times that most other sec
tions of the west are complaining of by
reason of the depression in silver.
Particularly ought We to take fresh
courage and look confidently for good
times coming" now that the most abun-
dant rains have como to bless each and
every section of New Mexico. Then, too,
look at our steadily growing gold produc'
ton. The gold mines of the territory are
doing splendidly, surely, and the attention
they are now attracting will result in per
manent benefit not only for the present
but for years to come. Looking farther
we may note the changes that have come
to the live stock interests. Prices for
beef are steadily advancing and if statis
tics are to be relied on there will be a very
great shortage of beef during the next
five years so that New Mexico beef raisers
may be said to BIO in clover. Even now
with future that is not promising as to
sheep, there is yet money in them, despite
the depressed condition Of the WOO
trade, and many are preparing to go into
this branch of live stock business nov
that grass and water are once more as
sured to the ranges for a year at least
Then there are the coal and lumber in
terests, farming and fruit growing, all o
which constitute important factors in thu
aggregate wealth Of New Mexico, ant
these several interests are in more Hour
ishing condition to-day in this territor!
than they have ever been. New Mexico il
all right; come what may.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1893-08-05

The business of this road, however,
will be much greater in the way of ship
ping produce. The thousands of tons of
alfalfa, grain and fruit from the valley
must find their outlet and road to market
over the line. The commerce resultant
from 100000 or 100000 acres of irrigated
land is amply sufficient to pay dividends
on much longer line than the Pecos
Valley. But besides this there will be the
transportation of coal, of which good
veins have been found, the carriage of
building material from the splendid quar-
ries and the importation of lumber for
the thousands of houses that will dot this
vaney.
THE EXTENSION OF TIE ROAD.
The building Of this road has been a
great boon to Eddy, but the wise control
lers and promoters of the reclamation OF
the lower Pecos valley do not stop short
of completion. The valley above Eddy
is just as rich as below 1t is therefore
the purpose to push the building of this
road north to junction with the great
Santa Fe route, taking en- route Roswell
and other towns. The management are
wisely reticent about their ultimate plans.
Where they have actually determined to
tap the Santa Fe has not been revealed,
but it is certainty that the extension
will be commenced In the immediate
future. Surveying parties have laid out
the line as far as Roswell to which point,
a distance of eighty miles, it will go with
only three tangents. This shows the com
paratlvely level nature of the country.
THE SHORTEST 1NrER-ocEAN RAILROAD.
Assuming only that it will reach the
Santa Fe route somewhere in central New
Mexico, glance at the map shows
quite startling railroad proposition.
The P. V. r. r. is of standard gauge. The
Santa Fe road in Texas, within $50 miles
east at San Angelo, has also standard
gauge. The building of this small stretch
of railroad would give the Santa Fe and
Pecos Valley roads the shortest inter
ocean railway, not only in the United
States but in the world. With line
from the deep water harbors of Calves
ton and Velasco, through Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and California this COM
bination would become the most for

THE MAN WHO FIRST CALLED ATTENTION TO THE
pECCS VALLEY.

The man who first called the attention
of capital and eastern farmers to the
Pecos valley was Chas. w. Greene. At
that time he was journalist, represent
ing this very paper, the Santa Fe New
MEXICAN. The capacity and grasp of af-
fairs displayed in promoting the Pecos
valley, has since developed him into one
of the foremost promoters of irrigation
properties. He is the manager of half
dozen large concerns. His mind runs to
perfection and beauty; and he is not
satisfied to simply reclaim land he must
adorn it in every possible way and make
it as useful and valuable as possible.
His bitches must not only be good water
carriers but must tend to grace the land
scape. Such is Mr.. Greene and while this
tendency and policy has caused some
adverse criticism, it is nevertheless bene-
fetal and commendable and of great
benefit to all concerned.

The MASTER MINDS OF The pEC0S VALLEY
WGEK

The steady work of Mr.. j. j. Hager-
man and Hon. C. B. Eddy has made the
Pecos valley. The former is tho nervy
and far-seeing capitalist, the latter the
administrator aud manager. The first
delights to view the construction of the
railroads, reservoirs, and big canals. The
latter has magnificent executive ability;
acres and miles of verdure, the huge reser-
voirs, the long bitches, the fertile orch
ards, tho happy homesteads, the alfalfa
creeping over broad acres, bringing about
these results seems to be peculiarly Mr..
Eddy's aAeong point. He is the man who
has organized success. The one believes
in property, the other in prosperity.
Working hand in hand they are invinci-
BILE. No obstacle is insuperable; and
all things good seem possible to their
united efforts.
