Greatly Pleased with New Mexico.

A. R. Gibson and John Rock, of
Cleveland, who are stopping at the
Palace, went south to Hillsboro this
afternoon, to be gone a week in exami-
nation of mining properties in that
promising section. MI. Gibson says
that he and Mr.. Rock have given New
Mexico placer properties especially their
careful attention, and are greatly pleased
with their experiences so far. They
have found any number of placers
yielding IS cents to "a to the cubic yard
in gold, the only trouble being prevail
ing unfavorable conditions. However,
these conditions may be overcome. and
as far as Mr.. Gibson can see, there is a
great future for New Mexico's placers.
Parties at Ohio, and notably in Colorado
Springs are awaing with eagerness re-
ports OF Messrs. Gibson and Rock; the
Colorado Springs people writing for
information as often as three times a
week. and one of these parties is DIR.
George, one of the best posted and most
intelligent mining men in the United
States. In the meanwhile h Cleve-
land gentlemen are giving the territory
a careful hoeing over before making
their report, so that when they start in
they will know exactly what to tell their
correspondents, and give them informa-
ton that they can rely upon as. correct
and trustworthy.

ment of the interior regarding the maj
disposition by the government of he
Las Vegas grant of 496, 446.96 acres OF
land.
Assistant Secretary Ryan, in the de-
cision, reviews the history of the grant,
commencing with the making of the
grant by the Mexican government, hrst
to Luis Maria Baca, and afterWard,
when Baca had Deer driven off by the
Indians, to the persons who went to the
site of the present city of Las Vegas and
established a settlement. He calls at
tention to the fact that Francisco Lo-
| pez, Connolly and Gonzales. who ap-
peared before the surveyor general to
ask the confirmation of the grant, stat
ed hat they appeared for the 'inhab-
itants of Las Vegas and vicinity also
to the act of congress of June Il, 1860,
which confirmed this and other grants,
in the confirmation of the same amount
of land to Baca in other sections, and
| saws hat it was done in order that the
possession of the tract might be given
to the town of Las Vegas. Congress
plainly intended to give the tract to the
community of Las Vegas, and the act
| of congress determined the title.
Secretary Ryan refers to the action
of Surveyor General Julian, who rec
commended that the grant be cut dowr
to the cultivated lands, that these be
surveyed and the balance of the tract
be restored to the public domain He
also refers to the report of Surveyor
General Hobart in 1890, who recon-
mended that the surveys of the small
pieces of land be discontinued and pat
ent be issued to the town of Las Vega:
for the entire tract. This recommended,
ton was overruled by Secretary Noble
The decision of Secretary Noble is nov
set aside by the present order, which
directs the commissioner of the genera
land office to issue patent to the town o
Las Vegas.
The decision just rendered will be o
great value to the people of Las We
gas, as the lands on the grant unoccu
pied will doubtless be placed in tn
hands of a commission to be improved
and sold for the benefit of all concerned
