The tovn la lit by electric light, has water works, gas, street car line, telephone exchange, a dally pa per, clmri lies, academies, pnnuo ana private rgumi, a number of solid banking andflnanclal Institutions and mercantile houses, some of whlchcarry stocks of r.fi",i, and whoso trade extends throughout New Mexico and Arizona.

Just west of town, one to two miles. Is an unlimited supply of the finest red and white i,atnh-ti,iii!, pronounced by Prof. Hayden the Unnst in the i ntioa mates. The valleys of the mountain streams are tery rich and proline, producing wheat, oats, corn, grass, etc, i nt.li...n,.0 vnt ami mutt, nf the town and like wise trlbninry to It, are the TBBt and well grassed plains and valleys of the Canadian and Tecos rivers and their tributaries, constituting the Uncut slock vntrflm, for Mhm.n and cuttle In: all the west, inis . - -.. ia ni-.,..iv Anminleil with nrosner ous cuttle raisers and wool growers, who make Las Vegas their business town and supply point. Build ing material Is excellent, convenient and cheap, and .i,n hsi,,pH linimrB ami residences are handsome. well built and permanent. Las Vegas Is, without question, the best built town lo Mexico. The headquarters of the division of thoA. T.8. w iutir,n,i avtenrifnir from La Junta to Albunuer- quo are located bore as well as .tliolr tie preserving works. Besides Its railroad connections It has regular BtaKesenn to Cabra Springs.

Water Is supplied by a gravity system of water works, the water being taken from the river seven miles above the city, and has a pressure of 140 lbs. While so fur tbeio aro no producing mines very near Las Vegas, tbo prospecting done has developed the fact that there aro some very good prospects here that will, with proper working, oon pay well. Ma chinery has lately been purchased by some of these, and, undoubtedly, they will soon be making a regular output. Five miles northwest of Las Vegas, where the Oal llnasi; . or breaks out of the mountains, are situated the famous Hot Springs. The river here runs from west to cast, and tho springs are on the south bank, almost central In a natural park, surrounded.by pine clad and picturesque mountains. The water of the springs la as clear as crystal, of a high temperature and the mineral constituents are so subtly dissolved and blended as to render It wonderfully beneficial to the human system. In addition and supplementary to the advantages possessed by the mineral water, the climate Is one of the finest In the world. The Mon teiutna hotel thero Is very commodious, splendidly furnished and the management and tables aro all that can be desired, and the accommodation for guests Is unsurpassed anywhere. The bath house Is large and very complete in all Its appointments. A branch line of the Santa Fe rallroad.runs f rom Las Vegas to the Hot Springs, connecting with all trains. At present round-trip tickets are sold from Kansas City and eastern points to the Hot Springs good for ninety days at greatly reduced rates. About 15 miles above the Hot Springs, at Hermit's Peak, generally called Old Baldy, a detached spur of the Iiocky Mountalns.ls some of the finest scenery In New .Mexico, The peak la broken abruptly off on its face, rising almost straight up SuJO.feet. while on the south side of the mountains the river euta through, coming from the, top of tho range, in a narrow ciitwn over iixo foot deep, rising In some places with out a b.-cak the entire distance. Good fishing and limiHiM can bo had in (the mountains anywhere limn '.'J -o 3D miles of Las Vegas. Tli average temperature for the year I8SC taken at tho jlontexuma Hotel each day was as follows Jan uiry, 4U degrees; Feb-.uary, Ks March, OS; April. 80 May.

It Is on the average, one hundred and eighty miles lonu by nluety-flve miles wide, and Icontalning about Mo.uxi acres, embraces within Its boundaries rugged and wooded mountains, extensive plains and fertile valleys. Its elevation on the east la about 4000 feet and on the west 12.U00. The thirty-fifth parallel of latitude runs centrally through It. It Is bounded on the north by Mora County, on the south by Berna lillo and Chaves Counties and extends from the sum mit of the main langoof mountains on the west to the Texas Panhandle on the east. It Is well watered by ihe Cauadlnu, Pecos, Ualllnas, Sapello and Tecolo te rivers and their tributaries. Between the Bape lo ai,U the Uulllnas Is the great divide which separates thowaterB flowing Into the Mlsslsslpl from those fiowlnzlntotheltloUrande. The western portion of tho county la mountulnous, rising from the plains to Uie highest rnugu In tho Territory, capped with eter nal snows. The culmination of the mountains at ..i,i,.,,iu iwaiva timii sand feet, causes a Ulll a H 1 ' u 1 i,,,.umv. --.. ... . - great accumulation of snow, which constantly feeds the mountain streams with pure water, that passes off into and through tho valleys below. The Mora, Blapcllo, Ualllnas, Tecolote and Tecos streams all liavo their sources lu the same mountains andinearly In the same locality. The precipitation of moisture on the eastern slopes of the mountains by rain and snow Is greater than In any other portion of the Ter ritory. New Mexico Is us large aa all the Hew England States together, with New York and New Jersey thrown In. It Is about equally divided In grailng, agfivBtituralauil mining lands. Millions of acres, rich In resources, aro waiting to be occupied. Ithas the precious metals, coal, iron, stock ranges, agricul tural, horticultural and grape lands, splendid scenery, more sunshlue, lnoro even temperature, more ex hilarating atmosphere, than any other countryon tills I'onllncKt, low taxes end an aotlve home market fur all BKilcutturul products. New Mexico warns manufactories of every de scription, more farms, gardens, orchards, vine yards miners, sioelc ralscrs-a mlll'.on more Industrious people to develop tts rcsourcee and make for them selves comfortable homes. There Is no bettor field for protltablo Investment of capital. TEEEITCSIAL. Rev. S. II. S. IltiiTton, minister in chargo of tlio church of the Holy Faith, dk'il last Sunday. He . had been in Santa Fe no short a tinit that he was not generally known, but amoii" all who had known him his sweetness of disposition combined with his devotion to duty had madu a marked impression. R. II. Weathered, who went to Velasco a short lime F-ince, has gone to California for a visit. M Wealnercil n conservative and ins judgment in regard to investments is first-class. In regard to Velasco lio writes tho Liberal: "I came ' up from Velasco last night. I found tho deep-water city a lively city, and think it will be a good point for bus iness in the course i.f time. Real estate is up a little, so I will wait for developments.'" A practical Mueller operator who recently vi-ited S i n Pedro and took a look through the Dig Copper mine remarked upon the meager facilities for treating the ami hided II. J. Hinton, tho artist, has just completed and placed on exhibition in J. S. Elston'a store,the three-fourths length life-size oil portrait of Mrs. II. U. Norcutt, of Pueblo, Colo. The painting is a striking likeness of tho lady. Tho rich carnation hues of the cheeks blend harmoniously with tho other ilesh tones of the face, and these In turn are relieved by the soft blue eyes and rich, golden tresses of this handsome blonde, while the deep, transparent shades of th dress, tho rich red of the para sol and the .toothing brown of the gloves, are pleasingly united and contranted by the mezzo tone and huo of the back ground of this niaBter work of art by saying that such facilities would not tloif the mine was not an exlia good one. Said he: '"Willi a largo smelter capable of treating tho ore properly, this mine would not only pay, but pay big. As it is, tho cop per smelter turns out about a car of uatte every two days, or something near four ears a week. It is high in copper and carries a good percentage of gold. Jliuitui'. It is now definitely announced that the Mexican milroad matter must bo closed up i:ext week. ."Mr. McManus, the gentleman who holds the conces sions of the Mexican government lor the benefit of this enterprise, lias, it is stated, tired of waiting for tho ad justment of the different interests involved, and now insists that an ac commodation and adjustment must bo had or tho concession will be withdrawn and plaecd in otherhai.ds ready to take it and at once com mence the work of construction. This will undoubtedly bring matters to a head during the coming week, and secure the resumption ot the work. llcudliqlit. Sherriff Loekhart is entitled to credit for breaking up tho bunco gang which has so Jong infested the northern end of Silver avenue in this town. On Monday last ho made a raid on llieir establishment, compel ling them to disgorge the money of which they had robbed a credulous traveler, the day before. They tried t3 bluff, and showed their license to run a stallion poker table, but the Col. would stand no foolishness, told them the license to play did not mean license to rob, and then assured them that hereafter he would keep a deputy at, their table, and would put an effectual stop to their fly games. JhaJlhjht. As a result of tho fierce norther that set in the other day, accom panied by a cold driving rain, which quickly turned into sleet, then snow and sleet, tJ.ilveston is invested in ice, and businoss was virtually at a stadstill. All wires throughout tho city were incrustod in ico resembling ropes, and the strain on the poles throughout many parts of tho city was so great that they gave way, mixing teleph trolley and lire- alarm wires in such confusion as to destroy communication and prevent tho running of electrical street cars.
