BIG MARKET
FOR BURR0S
East Will Utilize New MexiCo's
Picturesque Brand Of the
Genus Asinus.
MAY SUPPLANT MULES
Mine Owners Think They Can Got
Cheap Service Out Of the Humble
Landmark Of the Foothills.

New Mexico may find a lucrative
market for its tens of thousands OF
burros.
Eastern mine operators believe that
they have found broad field of utility
for the homely picturesque animal of
the mesa, desert and foothills.
If the Indian pony of the west and
the small and wiry broncho of the
plains of Texas can be shipped
with profit to east and west, there Is
no reason why the burro may not also
be exported with as much or greater
profit, providing the humble creature
fills long felt want,
Eastern people who are interested
may be over sanguine in the matter.
They may not have precisely an ade-
quate conception of either the burro's
speed or amiability. Some burros are
more positive in character than they
are amenable to the law of progress.
This and much else the eastern mine
owners are likely to learn from an
intimate association with their pro-
posed investment
Nevertheless the experiment will be
tried at once and it may prove the
glorfication of the burro and the max
ing of small fortunes for burro deal
ers in the west. Thousands will be
available on demand.
M. S. Valentine of Hillsboro has just
made a big shipment of the Sierra
County brand of the genus asinus to
Virginia where the faithful will be
tried out in the mines. If they sue
ceed in supplanting the dogged yet
more alert mule, as it is not impossible
that they will, Mr.. Valentine is as
sured of a big burro market.
Mr.. Valentine also made shipment
of Angora goats, horses, ponies and
burros from Sierra County to Virginia
Among the goats were fifty, bred from
Kingston Lad whose mohair sold for
SO cents pound, the fleece netting
$50. There were also $50 other goats
of high grade, in the shipment.

Route to Inauguration.

General Joseph Wheeler, the same
Fighting Joe" of the Confederacy,
and of the Hispano-American war, the
Joe Wheeler who represented the dis
trict of Huntsville, Alabama, in the
United States Congress, who was U.
S. Grants foe and William McKinley's
friend, passed through New Mexico
yesterday.
J. P. Brackett, of the Walter Sharp
Bridge Company, who is superintend-
ing the College Street BRIDGES con-
struction in Santa Fe, saw and talked
with the plucky little southern general
at Iamy. Mr.. Bracket invited Cen
eral Wheeler to Santa Fe, telling him
that the legislative assembly of New
Mexico was in session in this city at
the present time and that it would give
that body great honor to receive him.
General Wheeler replied that he was
en- route to the inauguration of Pres.
ident Roosevelt in which he was to
participate and that he was therefore
practically under marching orders
but that 1t would otherwise give him
the greatest pleasure to visit Santa
Fe. He said that he was deeply In
sympathy with New Mexico's fight for
single statehood and that he had twice
introduced bills in Congress providing
for that boon. He had, he said, no pa
ltience with Senator Beveridge in his
bitter fght against the Territory's
rights.
General Wheeler was looking ant
feeling in splendid health. He seems

Birmingham, Alabama, Feb. 22.-
Two staff correspondents of the Birm

Of the water. The explosion broke the

REPORTS TWO YEARS
OF GREAT ACTIVITY
GUS sons and daughters.
New Departments.


New Departments.
AS an interesting departure from the
beaten path the society has begun a
collection of silver articles manufac.
tured by the Navajo Indians and of
the basketry of the Territory. Every
beautiful weave of the Jicarillo will
be procured.
Rare Acquisitions.
Three additional paintings on elks'
skins, used by the franciscan Fathers
when other canvass was not available,
ly rare.
One important feature that has been
borne in mind throughout the entire
period, is the acquisition Of full col
lection illustrating the industrial life
of the people. during the Spanish and
Mexican periods. Very much has been
accomplished along this line since the
last report.
The death of Hon. Epifanio Vigil
made it possible to obtain the principal
part of the papers of his father, Hon.
Donaciano Vigil, who was prominent
under the Mexican government, and
under our own was the first secretary
and acting governor. The papers en-
brace letters and documents connect
ed with the period of the occupation,
and all together constitute unique
collection of much value. This acqui-
sition is of particular interest to the
natives of the Territory.
The collection of Pueblo pottery has
been greatly enlarged and the charac.
ter of the newly acquired specimens is
of the highest grade.
Mrs. Ella Kearny Bascome has pre-.
sented the society with a life-size por.
trait in oil of her distinguished faith

Among the notable acquisitions OF
the past year is the reception of a
most valuable manuscript from Gener
al w. H. H. Davis, the historian, who
was United States attorney and terri
torial secretary from 1853 to 1857.
For the many additional exhibits
an increase of room is absolutely nee
essary.
Appreciated Assistance.
Concerning legislative aid the report
says:
ut is pleasant duty to express our
sense of gratitude to the Legislature
for it's appropriation at the last ses-
sion. The result is obvious in the
largely increased collections which we
have been able to obtain. Without
this aid, many important and unique
objects would have been lost through
our inability to purchase. In years
past this has been of frequent occur
renee; and articles that would have
been of great interest and value have
thus been lost to the Territory.
'In no way can territorial funds be
more satisfactorily expended than in
the formation of a permanent exhibi-
tion of everything in connection with
the history of New Mexico. In nc
other way is such lasting benefit OBJ
