GYPSUM DEPOSITS
A Unique Enterprise to Be Inaugurated in
Western Socorru County.


T. r. Mcclure, a prominent real es-
Mitchell of Stockton, Calf, have gone
to the large gypsum deposits IS miles
southwest of Belen in western Socorro
county. The gentlemen, along with w.
E. Mcclure of Albuquerque, have &C.
quired over 400 acres of this deposit and
they are now on a prospecting trip to
find a suitable location for their mill
and one where a good flow of water can
be assured. The gentlemen expect to
experience serious obstacles in this
latter proposition, but believe they will
ultimately be successful.
Recent assays show the gypsum to be
of the very first class and capable of
being converted into plaster of paris,
whose quality will be equal to that of
the famous New York product.
The machinery for the new mill has
The mill will have a daily capacity of
Is tons and will employ 10 or - men.
Messrs. Mcclure and Mitchell expect
to have everything in running order
within 80 or 40 days, providing they
meet with success in obtaining water.
The machinery consists of several
large crushers in which the gypsum is
reduced to the consistency Of flour. Also
J a large boiler surrounded by water
pipes. The fine, white, crushed a is
| placed in the boiler, the water in the
| pipes is heated by a furnace and the
| gypsum is thus subjected to a sort Of
| roasting which refines it thoroughly
and produces the beautiful white plas-
| ter of paris so much admired in statu-
airy f~rescoes and other art productions.
The promoters of this unique enter
prise say they will have no trouble in
finding a market for their product as
the eastern manufacturers are con-
stantly searching for new deposits. The
refined plaster of paris brings from III
cents to TX cents per pound, and the
cost of production, they figure will not
exceed p of a cent. The percentage of
profit is very large, and with a capacity
of 25 tons a day, the proposition is not
a bad one at all.

The i-Imperialist conventions at
Indianapolis were a farce. The guile
less Colonel Bryan is enough of a poll
tician to be able to get the endorse
ment Of every rag-tag convention that
is being held throughout the land. The
suspicion arises that the people who
held the Populist convention are the
same people who managed the Demo-
cratic convention, who called together
the Silver Republican convention and
are now holding the anti-imperialist
convention. Bryan's ambition to APP
pear at the head of a large number of
tickets will be realized although it will
not help him to get into the White
House.

The Philippine islands are being
flooded with a proclamation that is
tanning into new life the dying embers
of rebellion. 1t takes for it's basis the
utterances of Colonel Bryan, in which
he promises to establish a Filipino re-
public with an American protectorate.
1t urges the natives to keep on fight
ing until the great DR.. Bryan is elected,
when every Filipino demand will be
granted. 1t Is these false hopes en-
gendered by Democratic sophistries
that are causing more bloodshed, the
loss of many a brave soldier and the
Staying Of hundreds of misguided Tag
ais. And upon whom must fall the
blame for all this?

REAL ESTATE VALUES.
They Are Bound to Go Up in the San Juan
Country.
aztec IndeX.)


1t was certain to come. This thing of
eight dollars an acre for land under
never-failing bitches, with paid-up per-
petual water rights and no cash water
rental whatever, the land rich as the
Nile valley and a climate surprising
Italy's, no failure of crops because of
insufficient water, and crops of all kinds
~practicable-it was bound to have an
ending. For ten years our unimproved
farm and fruit lands have virtually
gone begging at eight, ten and twelve
dollars an acre. An increase in these
prices has been all along predicted, but
it has seemed ever slow in coming. The
spectacle of the valley teeming with
buyers, eager to become possessed of
chunks of the priceless domain we have
to offer, IA one that long danced be-
fore the eyes of San Juan county resi-
dents-in their dreams. While it is too
much to say that the expectation has
been realized, the time of better prices
has u%ndeniably come. Ranches that
were easy to purchase a yea ago at
$500 or ST. 900, are now held tight and
fast at 81, 200 or 81, 800. Vacant land that
went for $40 an acre, now brings $12
and SIS. From month to month this in
GREASE is perceptible and the indications
are hat the era of legitimate. proper
tionate prices for San Juan county
farm lands is just beginning.
The great fruit crop now loading the
orchards of San Juan county was the
agency that aided the most the rise in
values. Now, every one has awakened
to the fact that the figures at which
most of the property has been held
have been unreasonably low and the
result is that a better toni pervades
the realty market. There is nothing
like a boom but irrigated land is in
demand everywhere and prices in San
Juan county are bound to advance
gradually until they reach the level of
values in other localities throughout
the irrigated region. Sales are now
of almost daily occurrence. The hope of
a railroad eve now brings many peo-
pie to investigate and in many cases to
invest, and it is certain that prices will
rule higher from now on.
1t is well known that San Juan coun-
ty real estate is the best quality of real
estate known to this planet, and it's
price is gradually going up to the level
of it's value. 1t is yet offered for sale
at one-flfth what is is worth. And
there is still time to "get in IN the
ground floor"

New Mexico Coal Mines.

The annual report of United States
Coal Mine Inspector ]. w. Fleming
emphasizes the Importance of the coal
fields Of New Mexico. It shows that
there is a much greater demand for
New Mexico coal than can be supplied,
not because the coal fields are not ex-
tensive enough, but because men can
o be found in sufficient number to
work in the mines. Nevertheless, the
output of coal in the last fiscal year
was worth at the mines, $685., 1865, or
almost three times the amount of the
output of gold with which the United
States Treasury department in it's last
report credits New Mexico. The indus
try gives employment directly to 2,015
men who earn wages that range all the
way up to 81 a day. Gallup leads in the
output of coal, almost one-half of the
total mined in the territory coming
from that part Of Bernalillo county.
Santa Fe county comes second, the
mines at Madrid furnishing one-tenth
of the total output. Lincoln county
was a close third last year with SO, $50
tons, and by present indications will
o o take first rank among the coal pro-
counties of the territory. Colfax
furnished IS, 706 IONS and Socor-
5000 tons. Those besides Rio Arriba
are the only counties thus far
who are producers of coal upon any
scale, but the time Is at hand
when half a dozen more counties will

colin county has within a very recent

Forest Reserves.

1t is natural that the people Of Lin
coin and Otero counties are not enttus-
ed over the idea of taking 1000, 900 acres
of the best land in that section and set
ting it aside as a forest reservation. In
the end, however, it may prove a bless
ing. Lincoln and Otero counties do not
need the 1000, 900 acres at present, and
have plenty to do for the next decade
or so in developing their immense min
eral riches, and the opportunities which
the proposed railway improvements
will bring to them. If the advocates of
forest reserves are correct in their log
ic, then a forest reserve will mean to
the people of Lincoln and Otero counties
a regular and permanent water supply
which is necessary to the growth of
that section. The Pecos forest reserve
has not retarded the growth of this
part of the territory the least, and the
people around here are beginning to
realize that it is a good thing. New
York or Philadelphia would gladly pay
millions of dollars for a forest like that
within fifty or a hundred miles of them,
and the future great cities of New Mex
leo will bless the thoughtfulnesS that
established forest reserves in New
Mexico. OF course, the government
should not do like it did with the ella
forest reserve, withdraw from set
tlement land that never was nor ever
will be forest land, but should confine
itself strictly to preserving the existing
forests where necessity seems to re-
ouire them. Unnecessary restrictions
upon grazing and timber privileges
should also be avoided so that the prin-
ciple of the greatest good to the greatest
number is permitted to prevail.

M'KINLEY SENTIMENT.
1t Is Growing in the West Especially in
Kansas and Nebraska.

r. d. Walsh, with the National Tube
Works Company, of st. Louis, a friend
Of Judge A. L. Morrison, Is in the cap
ital. He has travelled extensively
throughout the whole west and says
that everywhere, but especially in Kan
sas and Nebraska, there Is a strong
sentiment that Is daily growing in ia
vor of the reelection of President Nc
Kinley. MI. Walsh has just closed a
deal for supplying the new water works
at Phoenix, Arizona, and Is trying to
secure from Councilman J. w. Akers
the contract to supply the proposed
water works at Bland. Water works
are a necessity at Bland. both to Sc
cure insurance rates for the camp and
to liven up matters, as the camp Is
very quiet just now. Mr.. Walsh Is en-
chanted with the perfect climate Of
Fe. He say that it is glorious
and that he never enjoyed life as
much as he does here.

which coal mines are being worked.
there are extensive coal fields that new
er have been touched. The demand for
coal is not a theory, it is a reality, and
as soon as New Mexico can procure the
men and additional railroad facilities.
coal mining will give employment to
more men than all the other mines in
the territory taken together, and the
value of the annual product will exceed
that of any other product now produced
in New Mexico. The coal fields also
will be factors in bringing to the terri
tory new industries, making out of New
Mexico a manufacturing state.

Henry Labouchere who said: "Were
an American, I would vote for Mr.. Bry-
an in the coming election. l do not
believe in bimetallism, but regard II as
a pious opinion that has nothing to do
with practical politics." AS Henry
Labouchere is a crank of cranks there
Is no telling what he might do If he

Chill will place an order in the United
States for 81, 500, 900 worth of steel cars

also invited for building the great iron
bridge over the river Maipu. This does
not look az IL the so-called tariff-wall

of foreign markets. as the Democrats
asserted 1t would do. The protective
tariff keeps the immense home markets
for American industry and by strength
ening American manufacturers enables
them to compete successfully against
the world in foreign markets.

From many sections of the territory
come encouraging reports for the Re
publican party during the present cam
paign. These indicate that in some
sections of the territory heretofore
strongly Democratic, Republican gains
have been made and that Republican
success, with good nominations for
county and legislative offices and with
a strong man for delegate, is pretty
we'll assured. The Democratic leaders
and bosses and their newspapers may
not believe this, but they will find out
or election day that these reports are
true.
