WONDERFUL RESOUCES.
A Country Vast in Natural Wealth
and Possibilities.
Something about the Territory OF New
Mexico as Told at the Irri-
cation Convention.

One of the best addresses descriptive
of the Territory ever delivered was that
by Governor Thornton at the Irrigation
Convention at Albuquerque last week.
Some extracts follow
1t is also uniqe as, while being the
oldest of all the territories, we hope that,
in the early future, it will be the young
est of all the states. 1t has vast do
main, having an average breath OF 325
miles, length upon its eastern border
of $40 miles, and upon its western bor-
der of 800 miles. 1t is only exceeded in
area by three states, Texas, California
and Montana.
OF this vast domain, it is estimated
that the land grants cover over $780,
1884 acres; the Atlantic & Pacific railroad
grant, 2,349,SS0; Indian reservations,
1882, ,205; military reservations, l34, ,952
government land entered, 2,90S, ,932
total, 27 ,4O6, 1923, leaving as public lands
and now available for entry under the
homestead, desert land, preemption and
mineral laws of the United States, 81,
376, 442 acres.
No state or territory in the Unior
possesses more natural undeveloped re
sources. Within our mountains is founC
greater variety OF useful minerals, pre-
cious and industrial, than is found il
any other state or territory.
This territory prossesses superior ad
vantages in water, soil and sunshine; i
is the sanitarium OF the invalid; its con
tinual sunshine, bracing, health givin
breezes have added years OF life OF man
an afflicted person, who came here i,
search OF health. 1t possesses a diver
sity OF soil found in few states in tn
Union; is rich in all the iertilizing qua
lites required for the growth OF farl
products, fruits and vines.
have not time upon this occasion
do more than passing mention of som
of the most important industries OF tn
territory, and to refer briefly to few
the many inducements offered for I'll
immigrant. New Mexico is traverse
from north to south by the great Rock
mountain range, which near its nortl
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-09-25

ern boundary seems to have been split
in twain, one portion extending down
upon the western side OF the Rio Grande
through the counties of Rio Arriba, Ber-
nalillo, Socorro, Sierra and Grant; lying
east of the Rio Grande and extending
through the counties of Colfax, Taos,
Santa Fe, Bernalllo, Socorro, Valencia,
Lincoln and Dona Ana. Large portions
of these mountain ranges are covered
with heavy growth OF timber, pine,
spruce, ceder and pinon, which exist in
large bodies, while the quaking ash, cot
tonwood, maple and oak are found in
different localities.
Humbolt, the great geologist, who is
said to have read nature as other men
read books, once declared that the wealth
OF the world would some day be found in
the mountains OF Arizona and New Mex
leo. The result of recent investigation
tends to prove the truth OF this assertion,
for almost every portion OF the great
mountain range has been found to be
rich in mineral wealth..
The gold, silver and lead mines found
at White Oaks and on the Rio Bonito, in
Lincoln county lat Los Cerrillos, Dolores,
San Pedro and other points in Santa Fe
county in the Black Range, Magdalena
and the Socorro mountains in Socorro
county; at Kingston, Hillsboro, Lake
Valley and other points in Sierra county
at Cooks Peak, Silver City, Pinos Altos,
Central City and dozen other camps in
Grant county; at Aztec, the Moreno val
ley and other points in Colfax county
and in the Organ and Gold Hill camps o.
Dona Ana county, all well know
throughout the territory, which have
been for years past and are now large
producers OF wealth, and the recen
discoveries at Cochit in BernalillC
county, attest to the richness of the pre-
cious metals found in New Mexico
They are now and have for years past
known to contain large deposits OF these
minerals.
, But, great as is the wealth ofthis terri
: tory in precious minerals, it is believed
l that they do not compare in extent, va
riety and richness to the industrial min
0 erals and precious stones, OF which com
e paratively little is known, and it is pre-
Q dicted that in the near future these in
II dustrial minerals will furnish employ
e ment for large numbers OF the unen
d ployed, and yield results more profitab
y and vastly superior to those now obtaine
i from mining the precious metals.
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-09-25

Chief among the industrial minerals
will be classed the great deposits OF btu
minous and anthracite coal found in
various localities throughout the territory
of New Mexico. Bituminous coal is
found in large bodies in the counties OF
Colfax, San Juan, Rio Arrba, Santa Fe,
Bernalllo, Valencia, Socorro, Lincoln
and Grant, while in the county OF Santa
Fe there is to be found the only large
body of anthracite coal in the United
States west of the Allegheny mountains.
Gypsum is found in the southern por-
ton OF Santa Fe county, and in several
other portions OF New Mexico large de-
posits OF this mineral are known to exist;
From the development and working
OF these immense mineral resources, we
hope in the future to see vast popula-
ton the consumers OF our farm products,
who will furnish market for the labor
ers in agriculture and irrigation.
Passing from the mineral resources OF
the territory, desire to call your atten-
ton few moments to the great natural
wealth of New Mexico as an agricultural
country. | have already called your
attention to the fact that New Mexico
, is crossed from north to south, upon
either side of the Rio Grande, by the
, Rocky mountain range, which divides
, it into four great basins or water sheds,
: through which flow streams carrying
/, large bodies OF water.
n To these streams and adjacent plains,
= we must look for the agricultural pros
perity Of the future, for rich as are the
II mineral resorces OF our mountains, it is
n not to them that we look for our great
e est prosperity. The future prosperity
e OF the territory and its ability to sup
It port dense population depend largely
o upon the extent to which irrigation may
= be successfully carried, for, as a general
}. proposition, crops can not be grown and
t, maturtd here without irrigation, or the
e artificial duplication OF water.
New Mexico has been known in the
i past as a pastoral country, large areas,
d consisting Of extensive mesas OF plains,
l. bottom lands and mountain valleys, COW
l. cred with rich, nutritious grasses princi-
L. pally the black and white gramma,
e. which grow naturally without irrigation,
n cure in the sunshine and furnish food
y summer and winter for the great herds
n OF sheep and cattle, which in the pas
lie have been the principal resources OF oul
I'd farmers and stock growers. The cattle
industry of New Mexico is greater thar

COMPRESSED WOOD.

A Practical and inexpensive Substi-
tute for Certain Sorts of Wood.
The advance in the price of some Of
the hard woods required in various spe-
cial branches of trade has directed at
tention to the possibility of producing
some less expensive material as a sub
stitute, and in one branch of trade this
has been carried out with very sue
cessful results. For the manufacture
of loom shuttles lockwood has hitherto
been very largely used, but the price
Of this kind Of wood has become almost
prOhibitive, and it has been found that
by compression of cheaper classes of
timber-teak being about the most
suitable for this purpose substitute
meeting all the requirements can be
obtained. For carrying out this pur-
pose Manchester firm has just complet-
ed a powerful hydraulic press to be
used in compresSing timber for loom
shuttles. This press consists of
strong cast-iron top and bottom, with
four steel columns and steel cylinder
with a large ram. In the center Of
this ram is fitted a similar one, with a
rectangular head, fitting into die
which is placed on the top of the large
ram. The timber is put into this die,
and 8 pressure of fourteen tons per
square inch is applied. The pressure
is then relieved. and the large ram de-
scends The top pressure block, which
fits the die, is then removed, and the
small ram, rising, pushes the timber
out at the top of the die. The timber
so treated is made very dense and uni
form, and so close grained that it is
capable Of taking a very high finish:
For the manufacture of shuttles It has
been found as good as lockwood, and
there is no doubt it will be applied to
other branches of industry where ex
pensive hard woods have to be used.

Whiskers and Hair.

Men with long. thin faces should
have round boards. if any. But if a
mans face is abnormally round and
fat, he should wear an Imperial" rs
the narrow, long variety of the Van
Dyck beard is called. There is one
good argument against the beard which
ought to have some weight 1t nearly
always robS the head of hair. 1t is
very seldom that a man can maintain
a luXuriant growth of both after the
age of 40. Perhaps this may be one
reason that whenever long boards have
been worn the hair has been cut short,
and whenever the head-locks have been
permitted to be long, the beard has al
most entirely disappeared. 1t is a mis-
take for short men to wear the beard
too long. The head should be Il little
less than one-seyenth the length of the
whole body, and the capillary addition
to it's size throws it quite out of proper
ton. On a very tall man, inclined to
leanness and angularity, a long beard
is almost equally a mistake, unless be
should happen to be so bountifully sup
piled by nature that he can have it of
width proportionate to it's length, and
so thick as to convey an idea of almost
superabundant fullness. He will prob
ably pay for this, however, by being
very bald on the top of his head.-Ar-
gonaut

What 1t Is Coming To.

The Daily Chronicle, in printing
poem on the death of the Emperor of
Russia from the pen of Eric Mackay.
has stated: Eve cannot hold ourselves
responsible for all the opinions of our
poets-Ed. D. c.
The following editorial notes are ex-
pected to appear shortly: After lead
ing article-"The foregoing leader is all
Thomas Rubbish. But it has been sent
in by a contributor. We don't agree
with him bit.-Ed. Thunderer."
After dramatic criticism: eve give
the foregoing criticism for what it is
worth, which isn't much. We believe
our critic wrote the piece himself.-Ed.
Daily Telephone"
After a report of the illness of an
emperor: cit will be seen from the fore
going that the emperor was never IN
better health; that he is dying from
cancer in the brain; that he has just
been out enjoying himself at a picnic;
that he has committed suicide, and that
he will live to be 103. We believe that
the whole of the foregoing statements
are utterly false, but as we pay yearly
subscription to these news agencies, we
think it best to print the lot.-Ed. Morn
ing Moon"
After a bogus interview: eve do not
believe that our interviewer ever saw
the man, but he writes cleverly. So
we print it to give our readers pleas
ure.-Ed Weekly Express"
After a notice of a new invention:
.'The foregoing notice is puff. The
invention is not worth a tinker's bless
ing, but the man is going to give US
half-page advertisement, and that is
good enough.-Ed. Scientific Gazette"

woodchuck's hole in the old pasture lot;
snug winter nights when we wuz boys
an happy! And then
No. no! I couldn't go on like that. I'd
break down. A man can't be a man
more'n jist so far! Why did mother
send me over to see Bill? I'd better
stayed at home! I felt myself chokin'
up; if 1 hadn't took a chew of ter
hacker I'd ave been cryin' in a minute!
The nearer I got to Bills the worst
hated to go in. Standin' on the stoop,
could hear the tall clock tickin' solemly
Observation-Disclosures, textbook" just as
plain as if l wuz sittin aside Nv it. The
door wuz shut, yet knew jest what Bill
wuz dom; he was settin' in the old red
eaSy-chair lookin' down at the floor
like this. Strange, amt it, how some
times when you love folks you know
jest what they're doin' without KNOWN
anything about it!
There warn't no use knockin', but 1
knocked three times, so. Didn't say a
word; only jest knocked three times
thataway. Didn't hear no answer
nuthin' but the tickin' Nv the tall clock,
an yet 1 knew that Bill heard me an
that down in his heart he was sayin'
to me to come in. He never said a
word, yet 1 knowed all the time that
Bill was sayin' for me to come in.
/ opened the door, keerful like, an
slipped in. Didn't say nothin'; jest
opened the door softly like an slipped
in. There set Bill just as 1 knowed he
wuz settin, lonesome like, sad like; his
head hangin' down; he never looked up
at me; never said a word-knowed
wuz there all the time. but never said
q word an never made a sign.
How changed Bill wuZ-oh, Bill, how
changed We wuz! There wuz furrers
in yer face an yer hair wuz white as
as white as mine! Looked small
about the body, thin and hump-shoul-
dered. Jest two OF men, that's what
we wuz; an we had been boys to-
gether!
Well, 1 stood there a spell, kind Nv
hesitatin' like, neither Nv US sayin
anything, until bimeby Bill he sort wv
made a sign for me to set down. Didn't
speak, didn't lift his eyes from the
floor; only made a sign, like this, in
weak. tremblin' way-that wuz all
An [ set down, an there we both set
neither Nv US sayin' a word, but both
settin' there, lovin' each other an sym
pathizin' as hard as we could, for that
is the way with men.
Bimeby. like we'd Nv made up afore
