stacle TO development. II is only ten
miles from White Oaks, where there are
several quartz mills and a cyanide
plant, and from whence there hn We
been safely sent out hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars worth Of bullion and
gold dust, the latter principally COM
ing from the Jicarillas, within the past
ten or fifteen years.
Altogether, tho Jicarilla district
from its old-time reputation as q won
derful placer gold-producer, and the
evident existence Of rich leads which
have fed the placers, offers a field for
exploration that is second to none 10
this Territory, and which to be APP
preciated should be sui jectad to q
personal examination ,as by hat means
only can a correct estimate be placed
upon its merits.
Besides the gold. bearing mineral,
there are other sorts of ore. Ip the
northeastern portion OF the district,
lie immense veins Of iron ore, some OF
them having q width of fifty feet on
the surface and extending, visibly,
several hundred feet ia length. This
ore has been tested and yielded So per
cent. of metal to the ton of ore, with
only q trace Of sulphur and phosphor-
Gus. 1t is "Bessemer" ore of good
q%uality-in other words, 1t Is suitable
Cor ST. e%l-making.
Throughout the Jicarilla mountains
are other veins Of iron, also iron blow
GUS. Ore from the latter prospects
freely under pan tests and corrobor-
ates the statement that the gold OF
this district is closely associated with
the iron. Sjme Of the ore deposits
carry a considerable percentage of
copper; silver, too, in slight guam
titles is found. But the camp must be
called q gold camp, and its wealth
consists of that metal. Numerous pre-
chutes have been opened up, some
running up to a width of six and eight
feet, and remarkably we'll defined. In
stances are by no near rare of strings
of gold being produced from the
paintings Of a few pounds Of rock,
and while the ore of the Jica-
rillas, as a rule, is not free,
it is a fact hat 1t pans we'll IN many
instances Once capital will take hold,
and in mining fashion, proceed to de-
velop some of the discoveries, it will
open up the camp and create a rush
and excitement. The great lead, or
leafs, has not yet been found, but that
they exist is a point conceded both by
all mining men who are constantly
going in there from Colorado and
other places, as well as by those resi-
dents who know the camp. What is
most required is capital and properly
developed work on those claims that
bear favorable indications Of the i'm
mediate proximity of large ore bodies.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY IA, 1896
A u EVIL.


The matter of credit, in this country,
has gone to a great and ruinous X
IRENE, in almost all sections aud in
nearly every line of business. But no
where has it reached greater proper
tons than in New Mexico, and among
no people are its evil effects more seri.
Gus than among railroad employees.
In this city, for instance, and in this
matter Las Vegas is neither better nor
worse than any other railroad town in
the Territory. AS Don as a man Sc
cures employment in the railway SER
vice, be can go to any store and buy
on credit almost an Unlimited amount.
The result is that many 60 to a mum
Der of stores and buy utterly beyond
their ability to pay. By facility OF
credit, they are led into any number
of useless extravegances, and when pay.
day ome round, they find themselves
hopelessly ia debt.
Some struggle or with their debts,
paying from month to month as much
as their wages will permit, but usually
adding to instead of decreasing their
obligations, till finally some creditor,
to save himself, garnishees the COM
pany and stops the Debtors monthly
wages. Others, again, having no hope
OF ever getting even, attempt to skip
the town and thus dead beat their
creditors. For these, also, the com
pany is often garnisheed.
Thus it happens that the employee
loses all that he has; the merchant
are out of pocket thousands of dollars
in the course of the year, which good
customers are taxed to restore; and
the company finds Itself burdened with
a useless class Of business, requiring
the employment. at Topeka, of a large
additional clerical force.
The remedy is plain--let railroad
men carr their money before they
spend it and to aid them in this laud-
able effort, the merchants should re-
strict the credit system, making it the
exception and not the rule, as now.
OF course, what has here been said is
as applicable to all other branches of
business as it is to r%ailroading, but in
OF other has 1t reached such gigantic
proportions of evil, as it has among
the floating railroad population. Cash
transactions are good for all men, seller
and buyer alike, and blessed is the
man who pays as he goes.

grees and forty minutes of latitude and
six degrees Of longitude. 1t is $40

800 miles OIL its western, while it has
an average breadth of 1856 miles. 1t
contains 1922 400 square miles. or 49,
374,363 acres. That is, it lacks only
5,68l square miles of being as large as
Denmark, Bavaria, Belgium, Greece,
Hanover, Holland, Saxony and Switz-

eight celebrated countries have
a population of 24,041,122, against
49,, people in New Mexico.
1t is moro than half as large

all England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,

this great extent, the difference of aItl-

north, which rise over 10000 feet to-

south, which sink down to less than

First, get a wife; second, be pa

and perplexities in your bus
mess, but do not, there
fore, carry to your home a cloudy or
contracted brow. Your wife may have
trials, which, though less in magnitude.
may be hard for her to bear. A kind
word, a tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds OF
gloom.-To this we would add always

as there wss no osher member present to
