NEW MEXICO PRODUCTS.

Mexico Fruits and Vegetables.
Secretary Miller's plan for establishing

Secretary Miller's plan for establishing
agencies for the sale of New Mexico
fruits and vegetables in the large cities
of the north and east, which has been out
lined to some length in the public press,
is attracting much attention from fruit
men. Mr.. Miller is receiving letters from
fruit brokers in the very cities agents are
wanted, inquiring into the matter, and
asking for the business. The bureau of
immigration has already done efficient
work in advertising New Mexico's re-
sources, and if this effort to establish
regular markets for New Mexico's prod.
ucts succeeds, and there is no reason why
it should not, the benefits of concerted
action will be fully realized in dollars and
cents by the people.

BICYCLE ROAD MILEAGE.
There Being Many Among the
Readers Of the New Mexican.

An interesting study of the prevalence
of long distance road riding by wheel
men of the various cities and sections of
the United States is disclosed bya table
of mileage, as reported by the successful
winners of 3,000-mlle gold souvenirs,
which were offered and awarded to riders
of Rambler Bicycles and G. & j. tires,
during 1896, by the Gormully Jeffrey
Manufacturing Company, of Chicago.
While the totals by states form some es.
innate of the comparative road riding ao-
tivity within said districts, it must be
born in mind that the mileage listed is
that only which was reported by riders of
one make Of wheels and tires, i. e., the
Rambler and g. & J. Tires. Further
more, an immense aggregate of mileage
was not reported because the individual
totals did not reach another full 5000,
which was necessary to entitle the con-
testant to another gold souvenir, to say
nothing about the large number of un-
successful contestants who almost, but
not quite, covered 5000 miles.
There we're awarded in all, to appli-
cants in 33 states, 867 of the souvenirs
referred to, the total mileage of the win
ners aggregating 2,874,342 miles The
greatest mileage (Rambler) in any bicycle
club was that of the "Detroit Rambler
Bicycle club" the winner of the "$400 in
Gold" prize, whose total mileage was
4O3,8 The greatest individual mileage
for the "$30O in Gold" prize, was upward
of $4,000 miles.
1t will be seen by reference to the sub
! ioined table that the 4tC0al Ram bier mile
age in fourteen cities was 1,2G0,673, De-
troit leading with 403,894, Denver, Phil
adelphia, Chicago, New York and Los
Angeles, CAL, following in the order
named, with totals, each between 200,-
600 and 100000 miles. Syracuse and
Baltimore follow in that order with be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, and Buffalo,
Indianapolis, Washington, Portland, San
Francisco and Pittsburg, in the order
named, with less than $4,000 and over
$4,000.
It is further noted that the state of
Michigan leads with total mileage of
525, ITO, followed by New York and
Pennsylvania with over 100000 miles
each; Illinois and Colorado, with more
than 100000 miles each; Massachusetts,
California and New Jersey each with
totals greater than 100000 miles, and
Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland,
Wisconsin, Oregon and Connecticut with
more than $4,000 each, the states above
mentioned ranking in the order named.
1t is expected that the new series of
souvenir offers, announcements of which
have been published by the Gormully q
Jeffery Manufacturing Company, will
bring out further interesting features,
tending to prove that this country is
rapidly working its way to the front in
long distance road riding, just as she has
done in track racing and record perform
ances, notwithstanding the disadvantages
OF poor roads, which drawbacks, happily,
seem destined to be removed in the near
future.
