nounced success. That's all we can say
about it at present. The machine has
been in daily operation for more thar
a month, President Hayt being on
stantly on hand to note its work, and
the results have given us he greatest
satisfaction. You can imagine we were
pleased the other day when we felt that
the time had come when we could safe
ly communicate this fact to Thomas A.
Edison and the eastern directors of the
Galisteo company. We have great plans
for the future which cannot just yet
be discussed. Mr.. Edison hopes to come
out this summer to see the little plant
in operation before we commence work
on the larger one. Perhaps he will
reach Dolores this month"
THE MESILLA VALLEY.
Maj. Eugene Van Patten, of Las Cru
ces: General business conditions
throughout the Mesilla valley are first
class. A large acreage has been plant
ed by the agricultural folk; our fl uit is
now beginning to ripen, and shipments
will be in full blast in another two
weeks. The live stock industry is doing
nicely, and best of all, the bitches are
full of water for irrigation of the crops.
We count on the most prosperous sum-
mer and fall trade we have enjoyed in
years.
THE MEADOW CITY.
Hon. M. w. Browne, Of the finn of
Browne & M%anzanares, Of Las Vegas:
I'VE Las Vegas people are glad to re-
new our friendship with the citizens of
the territorial capital on this happy oc-
casion. Business? Oh. it looks mighty
good over our way. San Miguel, Mora
and Guadalupe counties are prospecting,
and when that is the case Las Vegas
reaps a large share Of the good results
by reason of her Importance as a COM
mercial distributing point. A great
many of our townspeople are out on the
ranches just now attending their herds
and .f1ocks. We pride ourselves. you
know, on being the chief wool market
ing center. Las Vegas is growing right
along. Many very attractive residences
and business blocks have gone up in
u midst during the past year, and we
are still building"
SIERRA COUNTY.
Hon. w. s. Hopewell, of Sierra coun-
ty: Live stock and thinning are the chief
Industries with us. and you can say
that little Sierra county is making
progress and doing well. AS to mines,
we have in the Black Range mountains
a region of virgin country that is just
now attracting widespread attention,
and there are far-sighted men who
think that the next great mining ex-
citement to strike the west will be- CEN
tered in this range. Cattle and sheep
are away up in price, and that pleases
the producers, though our m special
need vi tatps xviii cmfwyp cmfwyp
need just at present Is a laundering
good drenching rain to help out the
live stock range"
THE BANNER MINING SECTION.
Hon. w. Fl. Jack. Of Silver City: 1--WE
Grant county people still claim the ban
ner as a mining section. Our mines
have for years led every other county
in New Mexico in the line of mineral
productiveness. During the past six
months Silver City has attracted hun
dreds of mining men from Colorado and
California, and I am within the bounds
Of truth in saying that many millions
of dollars have beer expended by them
in Grant county properties. Our gold,
copper, iron and silver mines have been
we'll developed, and this accounts for
the readiness of investors to take hold
Of them. The live stock industry
throughout all New Mexico is in gilt
edged shape-never better"
IN TAOS COUNTY.
DR.. T. P. Martin: I'm my long resi-
dence in Taos valley I never saw north
ern New Mexico in better physical and
financial shape than to-day. So far as
1 have heard, all lines of trade and in
dustry are prospecting beyond prece-
dent. I see nothing in sight at this time
that can block the wheels of progress.
Outside capital in abundance is pouring
in to help us build up the sunshine
state Certainly the year 1900 bids fair
to be by far the most prosperous in our
long history"
