Some persons even conjectured that
paradise had not been on the earth at
all, but was an island floating in the
air, something like the island visited
BY CULVER. They did not wish to
think that the sacred spot could be
submerged by the waters of the del
uge, and by this device they raised 1t
above any such calamity. On this is-
land dwelt the sacred phenix; the
we'll Of life flowed there, the elixir Of
Immortality; leaves never fell from the
trees: the sun shone always on per-
petual summer. Men declined to be-
heve that Eden had been destroyed
forever. They preferred to imagine
that its gates were closed to them for
a season. To deem that such spot
could vanish seemed sacrilegious.
Many an early voyager and explorer
had strange dreams of discovering
some earthly paradise when he set out
for unknown shores-dreams perhaps
not spoken. but secretly nourished and
strengthened by unconquerable force
Of romantic superstition that lived In
| the heart Of ages in other ways 80
dark. Even the Elizabethans dreamed
always of some more wonderful coun-
try to be discovered. Their tolls and
perils and nghtings had ever the re-
deeming glamour Of romance. In those
days was the true poetry Of travel.
There was always some Ell Dorado,
some hidden Eden. to be reached =

MINERAL RESOURCES
OF NEW MEXICO
Paper Read Before the Min
ing Congress, at FL PaSO,
on Tuesday, by
| ROf. F. A. JONES OF THIS CITY

(By Prot. Fayette A. Jones, field as
ssistant, United States Geological
Survey, Albuquerque, N. M
1t can truthfully be said that New
Mexico is the Oldest known, yet new
est region, figuratively speaking, Of
any province in the United States.
New Mexico ranked next to Colorado
in variety of mineral products at the
international exposition in st. Louis,
and for such distinction received sec
ond honor by being awarded the sill
yer medal.
The first great conquest for gold in
our country was made in New Mexico
under the leadership of Francisco
Vasquez de Coronado, in 1871. In
cited by legends of the seven tabled
cities of Cibola in the strange land of
the north, Coronado, with his intrepid
band of explorers, pushed their way
across the trackless wastes from the
city of Mexico, penetrating this mys-
FERROUS region as far to the north as
Santa Fe.
In all probability turquoise was the
first product mined in the United
States. The New Mexico article
equals the oriental Persian gem, and
is recognized by many experts as the
most beautiful and valuable in the
world.
This gem stone is found in the Ger
rillos district, Burro mountains, Jar
lila mountains, Old Hachita, and is
thought to exist in a few localities
elsewhere. Evidence of prehistoric
workings has been observed in all of
the places as above given. The oldest
known copper mines in New Mexico
are the Santa Rita mines, which were
the first modern copper mines worked
in America. The Santa Rita mines
are by far the largest producers of
copper in New Mexico. These mines
are embraced in the great copper belt
of the southwest that includes the de-
posits of Arizona and northern Mex
leo. The boundary line of this great
copper belt in New Mexico, begins in
the Mogollon mountains and extends
approximately in a southeast direction
across the territory, through the Jar
lila mountains. All that area lying
to the southwest Of this line belongs
to the copper belt.
Next in the chronological order Of
mining in New Mexico m the dis
covery and mining of gold. The dis
covery Of gold in New Mexico was
made In the g~Tavels at the base of the
Ortiz mountain in southern Santa Fe
county, in the year 1928. In 1929 the
new placers were found in the Puerto
mountains a short distance to the
south of the Ortiz mountains. The
area, though not extensive, has pro-
duced approximately $4,000, 900 up to
the present time. At the present
writing Elizabethtown in Colfax coun-
~, has the greatest production of any
district in New Mexico. Gold was dis
covered there in 1866 ard the gravels
have been constantly worked ever
since. Some fabulously rich silver
mines have been found in New Mex.

as the Bridal Chamber" has perhaps

NO MISTAKE MADE IN FIXING
THANKSGIVING DAY ON NOV. 80
MANY PERSONS UNDER IMPRESSION THAT 1T sHoulo as ON IN
MEMBER % - USUAL PREPAk ATOMS.

Thanksgiving Day - that day on
which the whole country unites in OF
fering praise for the good things of
life and attends foot ball games,
which are followed by heavy dinners
comes this year on an unusual day.
1t will be the last day in the month,
something which happens very sell
dom on account of the way the cal
endar is constructed. November 30tn
must be ~ Thursday, for it to have
the distinction of also being Thanks
giving Day, and this cannot happen
often in the lifetime of the average
man.
Many persons are under the i'm.
preston that a grand mistake has
been made this year and that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is making a radical
departure in fixing the day as Thurs
day, November 30th. Some persons
think that it SHOULD have been Novem-
Der 23d, and a large number of in
quiries have been received by The
Evening Citizen asking what day
Thanksgiving Day m on this year.
President Roosevelt fixed November
Both, and he has the authority, by
virtue of an act of congress, to fix
any day he may see fit. The law
does not specify any special day for
