ore comes from large deposits, the char

been fully determined; but careful ex-
animation of the properties by expert

that they will be Of a permanent nature.
Near the head Of La Lug creek, about
ten miles from Alamogordo, they have
also made splendid copper discoveries,
which are now being developed.
At the mouth Of Alamo canon, about
four miles from Alamogordo. a ledge Of
gold quartz was discovered two days
ago, in which wire gold vas apparent

coming largely Interested in the camp,
and we expect before winter is over to
be handling five or six cars of ore per
day from that camp.
Substantial buildings are going up at
the terminus Of the railroad, and the

AT ALAMOGORDO.
The unexpected sometimes happens.
One can get anything wanted around
Alamogordo, and almost contrary to ex-
pectations, in addition to this being a
sawmill town, the place is about to be-
come a mining town. Six miles east of
Alamogordo, in Alamo canon from
which the water supply comes), pros
pectors have made valuable discoveries
Of copper ore. Three car loads has al

IRRIGATED LANDS.
In the vicinity Of Three Rivers, the
lands are irrigated, and fine fruit is
raised there. The peaches that took the

scenic attr~activeness Of the peaks is
equal to anything in Colorado. A great
quantity of gramma grass is found up
on the pastures on the foothills, and
far out into the plains, and thousands
of head of stock find abundant feed,
with plenty to drink from the mountain
springs. The White mountains are
formed Of granite, schist, and other
~metamorphic rocks, i~nterspersed with
dykes of porphory and veins of mineral
bearing quartz and spar. Rich leads
here would long ago have been devel-
oped but for the fact that Indian own
ership has kept prcspectors away. How
ever. a few prospectors have managed
to locate claims there ~assaying as high
as 5000 to the ton in gold and silver, and
other ores are there carrying SO to 70
per cent in lead. The finding Of copper
Is also reported, and at Ruidosa valua-
BILE galena leads are reported. In the
Helen Ray mine at Nogal, nuggets
Weighing four and five ounces are often
found, and some of the rock is so full
Of wire gold that it can not be broken,
but brushes instead. A high grade Of
ore is also found in the American mine,
and there are a goodly number of low
grade mines that will be probably
worked as soon as the railroad gets to
within easy distance. Extensive tun-
neling will be resorted to around Nogai
canyon, which will bring to light many
rich mineral bearing veins.
WHITE OAKS AND SALADO.
The White Oaks country is more ex-
tensively developed than around Nogal,
as it is an older section, and the Old
Abe, the North and South Homestake
mines have put out a large quantity OF
valuable ore. Immense deposits of coal
are also in the immediate vicinity, and
Is extensively used in White Oaks.
From Nogal a branch road will run to
the Salado coal fields, and not only
bring those vast de"osits within easy
reach, but likewise an extensive miner
al, grazing and agricultural district in
to quick communication with the large
business centers. Thousands of cars Of
lcoal, ore, stock and agricultural prod
ucts will be hauled from these plains
to not far-distant markets for sale.
From Nogal the main line will continue
~northeasterly in the direction Of Liber-

been understood that through connec

THE LAND LAWS

The land can be secured under he
homestead and mineral laws. The
homestead law enables a person to OBJ
tain possession of good timber land,
valuable also for agricultural purposes.
Under the homestead law a settler a
take up 100 acres of land by filing his
application at the United States land
Office and paying the small fees required
by law. This gives possession for five
years on condition that the settler i'm
prove and cultivate the land and at the
end Of five years make final proof that
he has done so, before the register of
the land office. This proof must be es-
tablished by three witnesses. The only
cost is the fees paid to the district land

Railway at NOgaI.

This week the railway reached Nogal,
Lincoln county, a point within seven
and a half miles of coal beds. The town
will soon be a lively point, but just be-
fore the arrival of the railway it was
a sleepy little village consisting of two
stores, two saloons, a livery stable and
a few houses, and a n time a
ousy place. When the mines around it
We're worked it had a population of 500
and a newspaper, the Weekly Nugget.
But while situated in the midst of a rich
mineral district, the lack of transporta-
ton facilities has led to the abandon
ment of most of the mines. The COM
ing of the Ell Paso & Northeastern rail-
road may, however, give the village a
new start in life. But this is not alto
gether assured, for Nogal will be left
several miles off of the main line.
The Vera Cruz, the Helen Ray and
the American are the best known mines
in the vicinity of Nogal. These mines
have produced gold, but not in sufficient
quantities to pay for working under the
disadvantages hitherto prevailing. The
building of the railroad will probably
result in resumption of operations on
these mines. The Helen Ray and the
American IRE owned by the Vanderbilt
Gold Mining Company.

Gold has also been found at several
points in the district, but lack of trans
p~ortation has prevented working any
put the highest grades Of ores, and
mines once worked have been aban-
doned for many years. At the head Of
the Bonito is the Hopeful, one of the
best mines in that section, that has
been worked to any extent.
Granite is found in the mountains
near the Rio Bonito. Nothing has been
done as yet to quarry it, but it will
prove very valuable when the railroad
arrives. 1t is found in very large guam
titles, and is Of fine quality. Near the
Bonito are mountains almost entirely
composed of blue granite.
Timber is found on the mountain
slopes in considerable quantities. The
heaviest growth is in the White Noun
tain Park, about thirty miles from the
line Of the railroad, and about the same
distance south of Nogal. Here the tim
Der is so thick that the trees crowd
other out. The timber is of the
soft pine variety, and is excellent for
making boxes and finishing work. This
timber covers about ten square miles.
Another fine lot of timber is found in
the immediate vicinity of the head of
the south fork of the Rio Bonito. A
sawmill is already located on Eagle
on the east side Of the mountain.
A third body of timber is in the Captain
mountains, about five miles beyond the
proposed terminus Of the railroad. This
is of the yellow pine variety. Two saw
have been in operation there for
a number of years. The white and vel
pinon and fir are also found in large
bodies all over the mountains.

PETRlFIED WATER.

That beautiful transparent stone
called 1'abriz marble, much used in the
buril places Of Persia and in their
grandest edifces consists OF the pet
rified water of ponds in certain parts
of the country. This petrification may
be traced from its commencement to its
termination. In one part the water is
clear. in second it appears thicker
and stagnant, in third quite black, and
in its last stage it is white like frost.
When the operation is complete,
stone thrown on its surface makes no
impression, and one may walk over 1t
without wetting ones shoes. The sub
stance thus produced is brittle and
transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper col

According to Modern Machinery, the
Chicago Tribune is authority for the
statement that an incandescent lamp
of 5000 candIe-poWer has been built
in New York for use in lighthouse
service. The same authority says that
this lamp cost 81 600 and that it diff
fered from the ordinary lamp only in
the matter of size and Illuminating
power. The cut will give some idea of
the dimensions of the lamp. In the
experiments mentioned the glass bulb
was incapable of withstanding the in
tense heat developed, for it collapsed
under the atmospheric pressure and
the heat, and at the end of the third
day the lamp burned out. Electrical
engineers said a larger bulb in an up
right position would eliminate the dam
ger of collapse.
