Because OF the fact that New Mexico
Is not blest by numerous water courses,
and that those it has are not In the
right place for placer mining, few real
lie the coming importance of the l'lacer
area of the territory, or its extent.
The exact extent of the placer area
of the territory is, OF course, not very
accurately known. The scarcely Of wa
ter and the failure Of invent ':s to pro-
duce a dry washer which would actual
ly wash gold under ordinary working
conditions, have combined to prevent
the opening up Of any considerable pla-
Ger ground in New Mexico, as prospec-
tors pay little or no attention to that
KIND OF mining when it seems that there
is no available water for working the
ground. Thousands Of acres of good
placer ground are untouched because
II costs too much to extract the gold
at long distances from water supplies.
But there is placer gold in New Mex
leo, and plenty of Vt, even in the known
fields. Prof. Fayette A. Jones, for
number OF years at the head OF the New
Mexico school OF mines at Socorro, and
afterwards connected with the United
States geological survey a position
which gave him exceptional opportuni-
ties for gathering such data, estimates
the placer area of the territory at APP
proXimately 450 square miles, and that
the richness Of the gravels Will aver
age no less than 16 cents cubic yard
for all the known deposits included in
this estimated area.
This source OF great golden wealth
is not now available because of the
impossibifty of profitably working the
majority of the deposits at "A profit with
any understood method, but with the
progress OF the past as indicating the
possibilities OF the future there is rea-
son to believe that it will not be many
years until the inventive genius OF met
allurgy will bring into the channels OF
trade a wealth Of gold too large to esti-
mate in dollars.

cal and far seeing OF those prophets
is j. ID. Violet, who is placing lots
in Westmont and Sylvan additions to
Las Cruces on the market. These addi-
lions are on "the heignts,' situated on
an eminence 100 feet above the valley
and a short distance from the thriving
little city Of Las Cruces. Natural con-
ditions are such that these additions
are destined to become residence CEN
ter. Located upon the mesa above the
valley away from the sand storms,
having natural drainage and almost
perpetual sunshine and plenty OF pure
air, The Heights" possesses every ele-
ment to good health. Property is now
sold at reasonable figure and Y is

GERMAN ARTIFICIAL RUBBER
New Product Said to Be Equal to the
 Natural Article in Every Way
From the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald | Berlin-According to the Gummi zeitung, the leading German india rubber trade journal, pr. Karl Harriss, | professor of chemistry at the University of Kiel, has discovered a substitute for rubber which cannot be distinguished from the real article in appearance. quality or durability.
 After series of experiments extend- ing over number of years the savant has been successful in changing isopren, constituent part of rubber, the syn thetic manufacture of which has already been accomplished into rubber.
 Artificial rubber is every bit as tough and elastic as the natural product and is light brown to white in color.
 The manufacture Is still extremely costly. When it has become possible to produce isopren, the working material. more cheaply natural rubber will be threatened with a formidable rival
 Samples of this new artificial rubber were shown and tested by prominent ex- perts during a recent sojourn of the pro- lessor in Vienna, and are declared to equal rubber in all respects. The manu- facture of this artificial rubber is al- ready being undertaken by we'll known German chemical firm, and it is ex- pected that it will soon appear on tho market.
