ESPANOLA VALLEY.
Crops of All Kinds Exceptionally
GOOd-High Prices -C0ntented
Citizens.

Hon. l.. M. Ortiz, who lives in the Es-
pamela valley, six miles north OF Cha
mita, was in the city yesterday, and in a
conversation with representative of the
New MEXICAN divulged the fact that the
past season had been one of prosperity in
that valley.
The supply of water has been abund-
ant for all purposes, the Rio Grande river
carrying considerable volume of water
the entire summer, and at the present
time is higher than it was ever known at
this time of year. Crops, with the excep
tion of wheat, are exceptionally good.
Corn, oats, beans and peas are a big
yield, while four cuttings of alfalfa were
made. The wheat, early in the season,
gave promise of splendid crop, but a
heavy rain, just before the grain ripened,
followed by very warm. weather caused
rust, and the yield was much reduced, al
though the harvest was fairly satisfac-
tory. Fruits of all kinds are abundant
and of excellent quality. From the orch
ards OF the late James Curry, P. H. Leese,
David Martinez, j. L. Lujan, and Mr..
Ortiz, over 100000 pounds of fruit OF diff
ferent kinds have already been shipped,
and more will 60 onto the markets before
the shipping season closes, and many
thousands of pounds of dried apples and
pears will be sold. The shipments made
have gone to Pueblo, Taos, TERRA ANA
rilla, and other points in northern New
Mexico.
The farmers are doing we'll. Prices
range higher than for years past Wool
brings II cents per pound; lambs, $l.75
each; ewes, 81; goats, So; kids, 80 cents;
beans, 8 cents per pound; calves, 50 cash
in advance, for spring delivery; dried
fruits, S cents per pound; green apples,
~ cents; corn, oats and wheat sell
readily at the best prices obtained for
years.
One of the most profitable crops raised
is that of beans. Mr.. Ortiz planted sc
pounds of seed beans on less than an
acre of ground, and this fall harvested
1,670 pounds, which he sold for cents
bringing the cash value of an acre OF
beans up to nearly $50. But little cul.
tivation is required.
Four grist mills IN the valley are run.
ming all the time on home grown wheat
and the product finds ready market In
the valley. The mills will run until the
ice closes the bitches on which they are
located, and from which they derive mo-
tive power.
Mr.. Ortiz thinks that the Espanole
valley is the only place in the territory
and in closing the conversation said
"We are feeling first-rate up there, and
are enjoying ourselves over the results
of the years work, and the good prices
We are enabled to get for our products

should say that 80 far, the beet work

should say that 80 far, the beet work
this year is very encouraging indeed. 1t
will be noted by referring to the tables,
that quite number of samples have been
analysed which ran very high in sugar
This ia especially encouraging when We
consider that the work reported is entire
ly experimental, and that without doubt
the samples could be improved by put
ting the matter on business basis. This
is particularly true of the samples from
the experiment station farm. We are
there trying number of experiments in
testing varieties, methods of irrigation,
time OF harvest, etc and in most cases,
We are absolutely certain that the condi-
tions under which the beets grew are not
such as to produce samples high in sugar.
In most cases, it is yet too early in the
season to secure the best results on sugar
content. In several experiments in the
past, We have found that the amount of
sugar increases up to quite a late date.
We secursd the highest per cent Of sugar
at the station last year, in beets harvested
as late as January l. This point is also
brought out in the two lots from the sta
tlon farm, reported in Table 1, also in
the beets from the Blue Water Land d
Irrigation company. The same thing
was also noted in beets sent by Captain 8.
H. Day, from Santa Fe.
As an illustration of what can be done
in the territory, the results reported in
table two are cutie interesting.
While the work has not been in prog
ress sufficient length of time to warrant
us in drawing any very definite conclu-
sioDs, enough has already been done to
show that New Mexico can produce beets
exceptionally high in sugar.
The beets are now coming in quite
rapidly from different parts of New Mex
ico, showing that the people of the terri
tory are taking quite lively interest in
the matter. We have received as many
as 16 samples in a single day from out
side points.
The work has been very materially aid
ed by the appointment of President O. T..
Jordan of the Agricultural college, as
special agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. This enables
US to frank the samples through the
mails, thus saving the payment Of ex-
pressage.
When the years work is completed, all
the results secured will be published in
bulletin form. 1t will then be possible
to present the matter in more iutel.
ligible torn. Very truly yours,

A Syndicate to Purchase KlOndike
Claims.

Late advices from London confirm
rumors that have heretofore reached this
side of the Atlantic that financially
powerful syndicate is in process of for
nation in England, France and Germany
to buy all of the paying claims of miners
in the Klondike region. OF course this
will lead to vast amount of speculative
valuation, but there is a claim in the
Klondike, as elsewhere, which it is i'm
possible to underestimate, and that is the
claim of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to
the foremost place among American
remedies for liver complaint. The bill
GUS and constipated derive prompt re-
lief from this genial Alternative, which
remedies nausea, yellowness of the skin
and eyeballs, fur upon the tongue, and
unpleasant odor of the breath that char
acterize biliousness. Ii also remedies
and prevents malarial and rheumatic all
ments, kidney trouble, lack of stamina,
dyspepsia and nervousness. Like all
standard remedies that have established
themselves in popular favor, it deserves
fair and persistent trial.
