New Mexico Offers Many Substantial
Opportunities for Investment.

How to make money? This is the
great universal question which actuates
the world in all it's industrial achieve
ments. II is the incentive which prompt
ed the early settlers of the entire west
to make long, weary and dangerous
journeys across the plains twenty and
thirty years ago. 1t is the incentive
which now brings the incoming thous-
ands as fast as the steam locomotive
can transport them.
To the man of capital it may be said
that the growing requirements of large
immigration to new country will as
sure the prosperity Of any kind of legiti-
mate business where the merchant or
manufacturer can present useful goods
to the people. Should the fancy of the
new conner to New Mexico turn in that
direction, there are means whereby he
may ascertain how and where safe and
profitable Investments can be made.
The resources of wealth in New Mex
leo present abundant opportunity to the
poor man who comes prepared to take
an active part in the general develop
ment. The prospect is always open to
the man who can engage in substan-
tial way in any productive enterprise
within the scope of the territory's indus
tries. The inequalities Of poverty and
wealth that are universal prevail in
New Mexico in less proportion than
other sections of the Union. If the i'm
migrant be without capital there is but
one way for him to succeed, and that is
to pull off his coat and 60 to work at
the first thing that will pay him a days
wages. and keep his eye open for oppor-
tunities for bettering his condition.
These opportunities are more numerous
than in the eastern localities.
