The number OF first editions in

ments, of which eighty are In public

ducer, the total number of cars OF
coal handled being 1852 for the
year 1915.
These figures are merely cited to
show how important mining already
is in New Mexico wealth production.
And mining has not fairly begun. The
mineral resources of the state are
rnexplored, there being no money
available for either exploring the min
eral resources or even for giving them
publicity to attract men with capital
for exploration and development.
Here in the Pecos valley are indi-
cations of oil, possibly ii may be
rich field But it takes money to
test ont an oil field and locate the
oil, The geologist may determine
that oil IL present. But it takes the
drill to find it and drilling costs
money"
Asked in regard to the New Next
co coal deposits, Mr.. Jones said they
are extensive, but very little is known
about this source of wealth His at
tenton was called to statement co.
ing the rounds of the press that New
Mexico had fully as much coal as
PENNSYLVANIA; he said this may be a
little too extravagant. But Mr..
Jones admits that New Mexico has
plenty of coal of every kind and
needs only some one to work the
fields.
Mr. Jones talks interestingly about
the various sections of the state and
their mineral resources. There Isl
much copper all over the state. but in
localities the ore is low grade and
processes are now being studied to
handle this economically.
