1s48. and appointed to the Naval Academy

and appointed an ensign in March, 1888
When he entered the naval service the
forward to an exciting career. but peace
had been restored by the time OF his grad
uation. and being the son of wealthy
parents he did not care to continue in the

Is il Valid3

New Mexico has a law which
requires the inspection and tag
ging of hides before they can be
exported from the Territory.
Three years ago, a firm consign-
ed a bale of dry hides to the Den
yer & Rio Grande R. R. to be
shipped to Denver, and the COM
pany refused to receive them be-
cause they had not been inspect
ed and tagged according to law.
The shippers claimed the law
was invalid because it was an at
tempt by the Territory to reg
ulate interstate commerce. The
courts of New Mexico had held
that the law is valid, and an ap-
peal has been taken to the U. S.
Supreme Court, for the final set
Element of the momentous ques-
tiOn-inspected or not inspected,
tagged or not tagged.
After that court of last resort
has rendered its decision on this
hide matter the rest will be easy.
Nothing will be too intricate or
complicated for that august tri-
bunal.

New Mexico Turquoise.

In regard to the turquoise in
dustry in New Mexico, the Silver
City Enterprise says:
The people of New Mexico are
justly proud of the turquoise in
dustry and of the superior quality
of the gems produced by the
mines here. The Porterfeld
mines, which are situated in the
Burro mountains, twelve miles
from Silver City are now thor
oughly orened up and are pro-
ducing the finest grades of tur-
quoise in the history of these
properties.
The true form of the stone, as
it occurs in nature, has a ten
dency to the reniform or kidney
shape, but it is often modified by
pressure or contact with the sur
rounding formation, and the
shape elongated, or otherwise
distorted. In many instances
the matrix has solidified around
the turquoise until there is little
or no cleavage between the two.
The most perfect specimens of
the true shape of the original
form are found imbedded in the
tale seams, where the nodules &C.
cur free and are incrusted in a
white coating, or hull, which is
easily removed.

they are to be steel pointed"

Disin terested Testimony.

Mr.. Geo, B. Anderson, who
during the past year, has been
engaged in compiling data for
the forthcoming history of New
Mexico, has been out seven
months on a tour of observation.
Of our locality he says:
In the vicinity of Deming the
development of the underground
river for irrigation purposes is
being pushed rapidly. The
supply is practically limitless.
Land that is now desert will
bloom like a rose within two OF
three years.

See Us Grow.

The world move; the ancient
prOphesy respecting the transfor-
nation of the desert into fruitful
fields is findingrapid fulfillmentl
at the present time in the arid
region of the great southwest.
Western Kansas, Colorado, and
now New Mexico, are rapidly
changing from dry and YER
dueless plains to green fields and
to gardens and orchards where
vegetables and fruits excel in
size, quality and flavor anything
and everything that has hereto
fore been grown in the more
eastern states. Deming, located
in one of the most fertile sections
of New Mexico, has for years de-
pended mainlyo on the great stock
ranches of the surrounding plains
for its maintenance and has made
comparatively little progress.
Because of the expense Of bring
ing water to the surface, little
has been done in this vicinity in
the way of soil cultivation, but
there has been sufficient effort
along that line to demonstrate
the possibilities of this section as
a farming country, as a portion
of the Territory capable of sus-
tanning a population as dense as
that of any part of the older
middle states.
This fact is becoming more and
more apparent to the homeseek-
ers, and soon every acre of tilla-
BILE land for miles in every direct
ion from our little town will be
under cultivation. Then this
city of the plain will grow, and
its growth will be both rapid and
permanent.
Now is the opportunity to get
in on the ground floor and secure
homes while the land is cheap,
much of it being still open for
homestead entry. Consult our
bargain offers on the first page
of the Graphic and call on or
write us, and we can present
you opportunities for investment
in both town and country where
one can make no mistake at pres
ent prices.
Thousands of acres of govern
ment land have been recently
located and the tide of home
seekers are coming our way.

Unless the intelligent and moral
forces in any community control
its destinies and direct its ener-
gies there can be little hope OF
civic virtue among the masses,
or honest purpose among its Of
ficials. Whenever selfish ambi-
ton and greed are allowed Ia
prevail without rebuke and oppo-
sition, both in the public press
and at the polls, graft and cor
ruption will characterize the ad-
ministration Of local affairs and
dishonor official action.
