New Mexico has great denl of good
mining property, the development o
which is assured, but the sections abovt
mentioned possess advantages over som.
other localities that deserve special men
tion.
Two causes will contribute to the
development of Elizabethtown and Baldy,
viz The recent discovery of rich lodes,
and the certainty of an enormous water
supply for the working of placer soil,
operating to vastly swell the production
of the yellow metal.
There is not mine here whose veins
are not running rich with the yellow
treasure, while the heaviest snowfall in
Is years insures an extraordinary in
crease in the working of wealth from
the placers.
