NEW MEXICO ONYX MINES
Are Among the Best Deposits In All
the World.

Among the varied resources of this
section of the United States. especially
in mines. there is not one of more
value or more interest to the, commun-
ity and the investor than the wonder
ful onyx deposits of the region near
Alamogordo. Not much has been said
about these deposits in the newspa-
pers. and the work of development has
been proceeding quietly. But the
fact is that within a few miles from
Alamogordo there lies one of the rich
est and largest deposits of CONNER
cial onyx in the world.
The deposits are practically mex
haustible. AS to the quality, experts
in the United States and Europe have
unanimously pronounced it to be of the
finest grade. and of a coloring so I'M
usual as to stand in class by itself.
The color is a dark brown, shading
into ivory, pearl, and wine tintS- Its
formation admits of an infinite number
of arrangements of the grain, in dress
ing and finishing for ornamental work
since no two cuts or faces. even of the
same specimens. are ever alike.
So far as known, one company prac-
tically controls the onyx district, the
Caballero Onyx Mining company. OF
the company the Denver Mining Re-
porter says:
The samples of onyx sent by the
Caballero Onyx Mining company to
Germany have been pronounced very
fine. Development of these deposits
on large scale will at once begin
The Mining Investor of St. Paul
Mimi. edited by N. c. Westerfield, a
noted friend of true and legitimate
mining companies, says that the stock
of the Caballero Onyx Mining company
of New Mexico is clean Investment

PAPER FROM COTTON SEED
A New Process That Will Greatly
profit the Farmers OF the South.

There is soon to be waged a gig8n-
tic commercial battle between the Ma
tional Paper company, capitalized at
$50. 900 900, on one side, and the Cot
tonseed Oil Trust, capitalized at $37,-
900. O0O and the Internationl Paper
company. capitalized at 500, 000. 900. on
the other.
The National Paper company is an
outgrowth of the Thomas Fibre COM
pany, recently incorporated at Trenton,
n. ]. The key to the position of the
new company is its possession of the
patents for making pulp for paper
from the waste hulls of cotton seed,
billions of tons of which lie piled all
over the south. the refuse of hundreds
of oil mills, owned by the Cotton Oil
Trust.
Cotton planters in the south have
been notified that from 81 ton the
price for seed will be raised to $11
and they have been warned not to
make contracts with Cottonseed Oil
Trust mill agents for supplying seed.
as in one year the National Paper COM
pany will take the entire crop of seed
at a better price. Robert Thomas of
Atlanta. discovered in. his Pensacola
mill the process to which cotton seed
| bulls succumbed and became the white
pulp that. would never turn yellow, as
a minimum of sos per ton, cotton seed
hull pulp a maximum of $35 per ton.
The larger profits enables the new
company to under-sell the old and to
go into the cottonseed oil manufac-
ture.
Archibald S. White, president of the
| National Salt company, took Thomas
up and formed the National Fibre COM
pany. to float the National Paper COM
! pany. The Cotton Seed Oil directors
met last week three times with A. s.
| White, w. T. Hunter. secretary of the
Salt trust; Robert Thomas. the inven-
| tor, and representatives of two Chi
eago and three British syndieates.

Special Correspondence of the He aid.
CARLSBAD. N NJ. Nov. 25-The
melancholy days of autumn have not
proved so very melancholy thus far
this year in the Pecos Valley. in fact
at times they have been rather too
much the other way and the midday
sun seemed fully as ardent as il was
thirty or sixty days ago. The mer-
curry has stood between 40 and so de-
grees throughout the month and cold
winds have been lacking altogether
The natural surroundings of this place
resemble in a great measure those of
Ell Paso. Hills are soplaced as to cut
off the high winds and the altitude be-
ing nearly the same gives this part of
the valley almost a similar climate to
that of FL Paso. so much so in fact
that il is the occasion of remark by
those visiting Carlsbad from that city.
The season has been n long one and
the Irrigation company has supplied
water nearly a monthe longer than
was required by the farmers last year.
Two crops of cane and milo-maiZe
have been raised and cut on many of
the farms of the company. The COM
pany is about winding up its affairs
under the contro of Receiver Tansill
and on the first of the year will re-
organize under new management of
WHICH IL IL Sdiu r. II. Td'N anu
thur q. Goetz will be the head. 1t is
very likely that when this re-organi-
zation is fully effected a disposition
will be made of the fine farming lands
now standing in the company's name.
This part of the valley is rapidly fill
ing up with eastern visitors for the
winter. Some are in search of health
and many are attracted here by the
fine fishing and shooting which have
been especially good this fall. Some
of the largest black bass landed in
years have been caught in the Pecos
recently and the lakes near Roswell
are also full of this fine fish. Deer
and antelope are also more plentiful
this year than last and three mountain
sheep have been brought in thus far
this season.
movement is on foot looking to
the purchase of the Hagerman Heights
property for the establishment of a
large sanitarium. a purpose for which
il is admirably adapted.
Fruit growers here are looking
ahead to a huge fruit crop next year,
similar to that of this year. are await
ing the advent of some Individual eN-
perienced in canning fruits and veg
etables. A competence awaits such a
man in this part of thePecos Valley.
