down in Ell Paso for. In every case
with possibly one exception, the cost OF
mining is much greater than at Salado.
Add half cent a mile per ton for
hauling and every shadow of possible
competition vani- hes.
The wholesale contract price of coal
in Ell Psso is 81 30 to 1915 per ton; at
retail up to $3.50 or more. Coke sells
at from So to Sl0.S5 per ton.
The Salado coal cokes admirably,
but the opinion of the coal men in the
party seems to be that it would be
wisest to market coal alone for the
present. They have all looked into
the market posi- bilities at Ell Paso and
were simply amazed to find how absO-
lutely the possession of the great Sa-
lado fields would put them in command
of the coal trade of that part of the
south west-likely to be 5000
tons per month before the summer
ends.
The monthly yield of the Salado
field can be made as great as its
operators desire. M. M. GILLIAN.

"blossom' one of the cid staggers re-
| marked: "Well, this looks someth ing
like" 1t was plain even to me that if
there was any coal in that section there
must be lots of it. We had been see
ing veins in mountain S tops: here was
a great peak surrounded basin, broken
by low, irregular hills, and apparently
und erlaid by coal in much of its area.
After examining many of the drifts
and prospects,, Col Boise climbed one
of the low hills and after a long, all
| around look from its top, hazarded a
| guess, based on the geology of the
thing, that this coal field might be
/ ''six miles by three" Mr.. LathrOp
did the measuring and sampling, and
| VIII erever the rule or pick were in use
the space around was crowded with
eager watchers.
We entered more than a dozen drifts
and openings. $: me Of them fully 100
feet in depth, ard in few instances
chambet ed to some extent. In every
solid vein, and there was nowhere any
sign of serious fault or of any pinching
out.
There are two we'll defined veins of
thick coal in this remark BILE field,
each of them outcropping for a distance
and each of them re ,dy to yield ship
ping coal almost from the first pick
located, and the entire party is now
ready to believe that almost nothing is
too extravagant to be true of this
am 2Zing coal deposit
We followed outcrOps, drifts and
prospects on one of these veins Tor over
three miles. and for nearly half of this
district the contiuuity and working
thickness of the deposit has bee dem
Onstrated. The other vein outcrOps
l hn, nd nd n hn r
ward of the first and pre- ents the same
westward dip Of from to 10 degrees.
Both veins have fairly good roofs of
sandstone.
The result of repeated measurements
on both veins gives little more than
five feet of marketable bituminOus coal
in each. In one Of the deeper work
ings there is plump six feet of coal, eX-
elusive of a small portion OF fireclay.
The profane mau of the party painful
ly Clipped at the upper part of the
breast here, carefully examined the
product and ejaculated: ''Well, this
is id good.' Then making the
same test of the lower part of the
breast, exclaimed: And this is a
id sight better ~
The magnitude of the field, the
thickness of the veins, the surprising
ly good quality of the coal, the ease of
mining and the fact that the hungri-
est, highest price coal market of the
entire southwest is but 100 miles away,
over a down grade route convinced
everyone in the party that this is the
opportunity of a lifetime to make
a paying investment.
This coal field has been secured in
it's entirety, and is controlled under
United States patents by the prOmOt-
ers of the New Mexico Railway &
Coal Co.
In this connection it is we'll to glance
at few figures. The only compe-
titiOn coal that can reach e. PasO
is:
From Thurber. 53S miles.
From Trinidad, $50 miles.
From Sa binas, Mexico, 514 miles.
FROM CerrillOs, $50 miles.
In at least one of these places the
cost of mining alone is greater than the
Salado product can be profitably laid

For ten days we have been driving
and tramping through the widest part
of New Mexico, and u e party has be IN
surprised to tind so little evidence of
iawuessness and such appearance of
hearty welcome for any enterprise that
will tend to open the country. The

and the protection of property as are

Wherever there is flowing water Or
spring, the land is almost sure to be
found un :er fence. Experiment has
proved that almost anywhere on the
mesas we'll sunk from ten to may be
seventy-fve feet will yield reasonably
good waters. This fact is evident from
the number of wind mills that are
found in all parts of the country, and
we were told that their number is
steadily increasing.
Since the primary aim of this inves-
tigating expedition was to see what
promise the country afforded TO those
who would build railroad from Ell PaSo
to the Salado spoken of as ''Salow" by
the natives) we were esp cially careful
to inquire into all the material
resources of the land, and to examine
as many of them as possible.

road. Ninety miles of dry ana dusty,
