for the department and F. f. Lester,
the instructor.
1t is many months since there has
been any rain in the Mesila valley or
in the mountains, consequently every
thing here is very dry. Stockmen are
getting anxious about the range, as
stock will suffer if it does not rain
soon. Several springs in the mountains
are dry, among them Dripping Springs
at Van Patterns ranch resort. At pre-
sent the river is also dry but the far
mers have had enough water to make a
good second crop of alfalfa. The first
crop has been baled and is being shipp-
ed to Mexico and other parts.

pIeted by all Means.

S. S. McKibben, of the Sulphurs, is in
Santa Fe, and on Monday will begin to
call upon local business men for SUBJ
|scriptions to build short piece of wagon

trade of that region which now goes
elsewhere. Hon. M. S. Otero has erect
ed at the Suphurs small experimental
mill to prepare the sulphur found in
large quantities for market. II this ex-
pertinent is successful large mill will
be erected and the product hauled to
Buckman's siding on the Denver & Rio
Grande. But even without the develop
ment of this industry, the trade OF that
part of Bernalillo county is important
and valuable. The entire distance Is as
miles, of which the business men of San
ia Fe are asked to construct only ~
miles. Mr.. Otero will construct the 13
miles from the Sulphurs to the hill be-
yond Buckman's, the next IA miles the

while from Buckman'st to the river,
1S miles, and the railroad, an excellent
road has been constructed and from

Nicolas Gales was born in Chicago,
Ills, and is a man in the prime of life.
In early childhood his parents moved to
Minnesota where he attended the public
schools and graduated from the High
School of Lake City. His father was
a wagon manufacturer and gave his
son very fair education. When quite
young, the subject of this sketch took a
notion to immigrate to the southwest
He arrived in New Mexico in 1875 and
settled in Socorro county. During the
first year of his residence in the terri
tory he taught scioo7. III company
with Captain John Martin, the well
known soldier, Indian fighter and pio-
neer, he managed the Aleman ranch or
Martin Well on the tornado del
Muerto for year thereafter, and then
went to Mesilla, at that time the coun-
ty seat of Dona Ana county. Here he
commenced the study of law in the Of
fee of Colonel A. j. Fountain, a leading
lawyer of southern New Mexico. Dur
ing the same year, he with a party of
men took trip to the Black Range,
for the purpose of prospecting for min
eral and was so well pleased with
what he saw that he and others con-
cluded to remain in that section and
started the town of Hillsboro, now the
county seat of Sierra county. He en-
gagged in mining and prospecting ex-
cept during the campaigns against the
notorious Apache chief Victorio and his
blood thirsty bands of Hot Spring and
San Carlos Apaches in which he bore a
leading part, making ii fine record for
himself as courageous and successful
Indian fighter. He held commission
as captain in the territorial militia and
saw good deal Of active service in
those bloody and stirring years, during
which it is estimated that between 800
and 1000 persons in southern New Mex
leo, west Of the Rio Grande, were mur-
dered by the Apaches under the COM
mand of Victorio, principal chief, and
Loco and Mana as sub-chiefs. Hillsboro
being in the northwestern part of Dona
Ana county, Mr.. Gales was elected a
county commissioner of that county in
1878 and served two years in that capac-
ity, performing the duties of the office
with satisfaction to the people and
credit to himself.
In November, 1882, Mr.. Gales was
elected member of the legislative as
sembly upon the Republican ticket from
the district composed of the counties
Of Dona Ana and Lincoln and served as
such in the session of 1888 While so
he introduced the bill creating
Sierra county out of parts of Dona Ana,
Socorro and Grant counties, with Hills
boro as the county seat and pushed this |
bill through to a successful passage,
although against great odds and in the !
face of very determined opposition.
He has been a resident and citizen of
Hillsboro from the day Of it's settle-
ment, engaged in mining and merchan-
Using. He was elected a member of the |
legislative council of the 31st legisla- !
tive assembly in 1894, and served as
such during it's session in January and
February, 1896, representing the coun-
ell district composed of the counties of |
Socorro and Sierra. AS in all positions
