Former Representative, Brother of

Examination by United States

where else in the world. Large alum
deposits exist here, also vanadiuIn, tin,
and aluminium. In short, Nature has
scanned these mountains with priceless
treasures, for the use Of man.
While extracting mineral products
from mother earth, men must be fed.
They cannot eat copper, nor feed the
teams necessary for their work on meer-
schaum; they must have the products Of
the farm. Herein lies the wonderful eff
fciency of this region. Mining makes
the market for the farm. The same
mountains which contain the mineral
furnish the farmer the water with
which to raise his products. Without
the mining region in such close proxim-
ity, farming would not be so profitable;
without the farming region close by,
mining would be much more expensive.
The two industries make a perfect cir
cult. They are interdependent and mu-
tually render each other profitable.
It is only In rare instances that Ma
ture has seen fit to so favor a region as
she has the Mimbres country, from the
top of the highest ranges of her noun
tains to the low and fertile stretches of
the valley. A perfect climate where
health makes wealth easier; water in
abundance and of unsurpassed purity;
fertile soil; high-priced markets; splen-
did railroad facilities
It is only within the past few years
that people have been alive to the agri-
cultural possibilities Of the lower valley.
And with all the development which has
taken place within this time, there is
still ninety-five per cent of the irrigable
area of the valley unreclaimed. There
has been no boom in land prices, so land
can be obtained right now at prices
which astonish those who realize the OPP
pOrtunities here.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-11-29

On the other hand, Nature seems Oc-
casionaHy to have so outlined a PROPOSE
ton that the most expert efficiency en-
gineers could not improve upon any de
tail Of it. A typical case of Nature as an
efficiency expert is found in the Deming
country. To the north of the wide
spreading valley Of the Mimbres lie the
vast mountain ranges which form its
watershed. As if realizing the compar-
ative scantiness of the rainfall, these
ranges are rocky and precipitous in the
extreme, so that the loss of water from
seepage and evaporation in these noun
tains is slight. As the water comes out
Of the mountains, Nature again shows
the skill Of an expert. Apparently fear
ing the loss of this precious water
through evaporation if it were allowed
to take the ordinary course Of a river,
an underground channel has been pro
vided; so that loss from evaporation is
absolutely nil. Through vast beds and
strata Of coarse gravel, the water is con
Quoted from the mountains for twenty,
thirty, forty, fifty, sixty miles under
the fertile surface Of the lower valley.
Here the water is held, none of it escap-
ing to the sea; and here it is taken out
to irrigate the fertile farms Of the val
ley by means Of pumps which are oper-
ated by gasoline engines and electric
motors
In the same mountains which catch
the rainfall and send it coursing down
the steep canyons on its way to the I'M
derhow, Nature has stored vast mineral
wealth. Copper is mined in tremend-
GUS quantities; millions of dollars worth
of gold and silver ore await the stroke
Of the miners pick; turquoise and meer-
schaum are mined, the latter by meth
DDS unique in the production Of this ma
terial and on scale larger than any

Some five a ago the question
Was the emperor's lace rouged at the

the emperor during the fighting) we're

an absolute denial to Zola's assertion.

Princess Mathilde, the emperor's
cousin. secuted the idea that Napoleon
was rouged, although as she was not

account. On other points 1 can per-

horrors of the battlefield of the first of
September. 1870.
