GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Of
NEW MEXICO IS MADE
Highest Point in Sacramentos is
9,499 Feet
WORK DID NOT COVER
THE ENTIRE TERRITORY
The Lowest Point is at La Tuna
Which is 3,79l Feet

Washington, ID. g., July "a
The geological survey has pub
lished bulletin giving the re-
suits cf spirit leveling in New
Mexico, the data being compiled
by X. b. Marshall, chief geo.
grapher. The work done was in
the years 1902 and 1909, inclu-
sive. Bench marks showing the
altitude and the name of the
quadrangle were established at
over 500 points in the territory.
The work did not cover the
territory, practically all the sur
veys being made along or west
of the Rio Grande valley, except
for three or four quadrangles sur
veyed around Alamogordo, Avis,
Gypsum Hills, and Orogrande.
The following counties were Wis
tied during the course Of the
work; Bernalillo, Dona Ana,
Sierra, Socorro, Grant, Luna,
Rio Arriba, Sandoval, Otero and
San Juan.
The highest point marked by
the survey was In the Sacrament
TO mountains, in the Alamogordo
quadrangle, four miles southeast
of the camp of the Alamo Lum-
Der company, on the Sacramento
river road at the summit of the
mountain, 20 feet south of the
road fork. There an aluminium
tablet was set in the rock bear
ing the figures "949S," which
was the highest point marked
by the surveyors. This work was
done in 1909 by X. w. Trim BILE.
The lowest elevation was re-
corded at La Tuna, on the New
Mexico Texas line, on the Santa
Fe, where 3791 feet was recorded.
The elevation of Duncan, In the
Steeplerock quadrangle, in Grant
county, was only 3799, and al.
most every other altitude record
ed in the bulletin, over 800, is
above 1000 feet and many of
them above 5000.

PHOTOGRAPH YOUR FARMS,
ALSO YOUR ORCHARDS
Bureau Of immigration Wants
Good Pictures
GOOD PRICE OFFERED
FOR GOOD PICTURES
They Have Immense Value In
Advertising

Albuquerque, July 24.-There
is no better advertisement than
a good photograph, no matter
what it is that is being adver-
tised. This is particularly true
of land. A clear, striking pho.
tograph tells the whole story,
tells it accurately and convinc-
ingly and leaves no room for ar
gument. If the land is good,
the crop fine, the scenery beau
tiful, the camera shows it, just
as it is, without exaggeration,
but at its best. One of the great
est handicaps the Bureau of I'm
migration has had in preparing
its advertising matter has been
in obtaining photographs. This
is true of practically every sec.
tion of New Mexico. Photo
graphs are demanded for almost
every article about New Mexico
that is sent out. Every piece of
of advertising literature, to be
most effective, must have photo
graphs and good ones.
This is Il splendid year on the
farms and orchards of New Mex
leo. Right in this district we
have a great many crops of var
ious kinds that are hourishing
and that would make pictures of
the most convincing kind. Keep
a permanent record of these
crops. Have some good photo
graphs taken. Almost every
man can have access to good
kodak these days and the cost is
very small. Do it today while
the crops are at their very best,
and when you have done it send
print to the Bureau of Immi
grafton at Albuquerque, with
the title and description and
your name on the back. The
Bureau is buying photographs
constantly and will gladly pay
the usual price fer good pictures
which can be used in the New
Mexico advertising campaign.
One photograph of your farm
may result in bringing many
people into this section. DO it
today for New Mexico.

The Alamos Believe They Can
Gobble EN- Alive
THE WINNER WILL HAVE
SOME STRENUOUS JOB
Hard to Pick the Winner on the
Dope
By GLOOMY Cts

Flushed with the first victory,
and encouraged over the form
they are displaying in practice
games, the Alamos have con-
cluded that they may just as
well tackle anything in the shape
of an aggregation of baseball
players.
The team that has been invited
to become victim of the slaugh-
ter for the next exhibition is the
bunch from Carrizozo. But this
baseball bizni is one uncertain
proposish. You never can tell.
Those CarrizOzo bullies have
been known to hammer the
sphere with ferocity fearful to
behold, and when they get into
one of the above mentioned un-
lady-like tantrums, it takes a
mighty good line of defense to
keep them from using up all the
space on the score cards to record
the runs.
Carrizozo will make her debut
here Sunday afternoon. The
game will be played at Athletic
Park, commencing at three
o'clock. If you are in doubt as
to the ability of the Alamos to
take care of themselves and hold
up their present percentage of
1000, you would better go to see
the game, in order to be on hand
in case anything happens. Catch
a Tenth st. car at the South
western Cafe, and if you are
lucky you will land at Athletic
Park in about ten years (Moun-
tain time). The regular price of
admission is fifty cents. If you
buy three at once, you can get
them for dollar and half.
