Most Prosperous Year
New Mexico has just closed her most
prosperous year since the Spaniards
rode up the Rio Grande from New
Spain and planted the flag Of that
kingdom on her soil. No other state in
the union, save California, can boast
of such diversified wealth as can New
Mexico. Mines, farms. ranches and fac
tories all yield their quota OF the
states great wealth. A treasure chest
of precious and baser metals, New Mex
leo has become a great mining state
This development has approached the
size of n boom during the past, war
torn year for the demands for ores has
been so great that, in every part Of the
state mines have been reOpened. new
prospects developed. old workings
which have been abandoned since the
crime of IS" have been worked TO

erals. shipped out Of the state IN eN-
change for the gold Of the European
warning countries.
Mines Her Pride
New Mexico's mining development
during the past u months has. perhaps
been her greatest pride Train after
train of concentrates have been shipped
from the Chino mines Of southern
New Mexico TO the FL Paso smelter, to
be roasted into copper for the allies

LOrdsburg Mining Center

COW town. has suddenly become great
mining center and men meet there and
discuss values and prospects as they
do in Silver City and the other great
mineral districts OF the state LORDS
