The report of the operations of the
Bureau of immigration for the period
extending from December /, 1900, to
November 80, 1902, has been submitted
to Governor Otero by the secretary,
Colonel Max. Frost. The present or
ganization of the board is: William B.
Bunker, East Las Vegas, president;
Granville Pendleton, Aztec, vice presi-
dent; Alfred Grunsfeld, Albuquerque,
treasurer; Max. Frost, Santa Fe, secre-
tary; Jose e. Torres, 5th district; Jo-
seph w. Bible, Sd district. The opera
tions of the bureau during the last two
years have been extensive and the
amount of labor performed has been
greater than that during 1899 and 1900.
The correspondence has greatly in
creased and the applications for litera-
ture published by the bureau giving in
formation concerning the conditions,
resources and climate of New Mexico
have also been constantly on the in
cease. During the years for which the
report is made, the following pamphlets
and bulletins have been published by
the bureau: The County of Bernalillo,
5000 copies, illustrated; County of Cha
YES, 10000 copies, illustrated; County Of
Colfax, 10000 copies, 5000 not illustrat-
ed and the second edition of 5000, illus
trated, revised and enlarged; County Of

ted; County of Grant, 5000 copies, illus

trated; County Of Union, 5000 copies,
illustrated; County of Valencia, 5000
copies, illustrated, making a total of
$4,000 copies. The greatest demand IS
for bulletins upon the following coun-
ties: San Juan, Santa Fe, Chaves, Col
fax Socorro, Luna, Otero, Guadalupe
and Lincoln. The editions on Berna-
lilo, Chaves, Dona Ana, Eddy, Luna
and Socorro counties are nearly ex-
1lausted and reprints of revised and en-
larged editious are necessary.
Valuable aid has been rendered In
the distribution Of these bulletins by
the passenger departments of the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway,
the Ell Paso and Northeastern Railroad,
the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad,
the Southern Pacific Railroad and the
Colorado Southern Railroad. Thous-
ands Of copies have been sent out by
the bureau direct while requests are
constantly received from irrigation
companies, mining companies, COM
mercial organizations and individual
citizens for copies to be sent away.
Particular attention was given to rep
resenting the opportunities New Mexi-
co offers at the different expositions
and congresses held during 1901 and
1902. The bureau was represented by
delegates at the Pan-American EXPOSE
tion at Buffalo, at the Charleston In
terstate and West Indian Exposition at
Charleston, s. c., at the National 1rri-
CATION Congress, Trans Mississippi
Congress and the National Mining
Congress. Among the pamphlets in es-
pecial demand at the expositions and
congresses were horticulture and
Agriculture in New Mexico" "Climate
is Fate" mines and Minerals of New
Mexico" and "New Mexico Health Re-
sorts" There was a great demand for
copies Of the report Of the governor OF
New Mexico to the secretary OF the In
terror on New Mexico affairs and hum
dreds of copies of the report for 1900
and 1901 were among the literature giv-
en- away at the expositions. 1t Is sug-
gested that the 35th legislative assem-
bly, request Delegate Rodey to secure
the adoption of a resolution by congress
to have 5000 copies of the report for
the present year printed, to be distrib-
uted by the bureau. Every member of
both branches of congress, heads of
government departments, state univer-
stiles and college libraries have been
furnished with complete sets Of the
publications.
In preparation for future expositions,
the bureau is now making a collection
of mineral specimens from all parts of
the territory to be sent to the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition In St. Louis
in 1904. The collection which the bu-
reau worked for three years to get was
sent to the Charleston Exposition and
then donated to the city to become a
part of the permanent New Mexico ex-
hibit now in the city hall there. Data
is being gathered and photographs are
being collected and cuts made in order
to present the resources Of the terri
