Good Thinss to Know About
New Mexico.


It has been demonstrated that.
with the exception Of citrus fruits.
every product Of the temperate zone
will flourish on New Mexico soil.
There Is ready market for every
kind Of produce Of every character.
The gross value Of the New Mexico
fruit crop In 1910 was 100000.
With the young orchards now COM
ing into bearing this will reach
$2.0OO.O0O in five years.
Today the bulk Of New Mexico's
agricultural land stands undevel-
oped. Prices are very low. The
land at the prices now asked forms
an absolutely safe investment. with
certainty Of large returns. There
is almost no element Of risk. The
development Of these lands means
fortune for the men who bring II
about.
National forest reserves alone
cover 100000 acres Of New Mex
leo land. Much Of this land carries
merchantable timber. The lumber
industry has already reached
large proportions and is only In its
infancy. The popular impression
~ New Mexico has been Of sand
and cactus and dry water courses.
Yet more than half a million rail-
road ties are driven down the Rio
Grande each season.
New Mexico's area Of proven coal
bearing land is enormous. Its un-
proven coal bearing areas are Of as
tonishing extent. In the Ration
coal fields alone. according to the
United States Geological Survey,
there are $4,000. 100000 tons Of
high grade coal, or sufficient to en-
joy production of 1000, ,OOc tons
annually for 300 years. In addition
to this field are the great deposits
of Mckinley. San Juan, Sandoval,
Bernalillo. Valencia, Socorro and
Lincoln, which practically are unde-
veloped.
Conservative mining experts are
convinced that New Mexico In its
ultimate development will prove one
of the greatest copper producing
states; that II will be heavy pro-
ducer of iron, lead and zinc; and
that its resources in gold and silver
are enormous. Practically all OF
the rare metals are found in paying
quantities. One Of the chief vana'
dium deposits in the world has
recently been opened. Salt is pro
duced proftably. Fire clays, build
ing stone and even marble are abun
dant. Extensive prospecting Is be
ing done for oil.
There are more than 5000, ,OO'
, sheep in New Mexico. producing
from $6,OOO,OOO to $7.OOO,O00 an
