- Teach her tliat not only should she Myer I,iEDMAiF& "Bao., Wool Dealers Thijesdat, Feb. 11, 1892. Las VE3A3. Teach her that not only should ehe love her father and mother, but hon or them in word and deed. That work is worthy always when it is well done. luat the value of money is just the good it will do in life, but that she ought to know and appreciate this value. That the man who wishes to marry her is the one who tells her so and is willing to work for her, and not the one who whispers silly speeches and forgets that men cease to bo men when they have no object in life. That her best confidant is always her mother, and that no one sympa thizes with her in her pleasures and joys as you do. That unless she shows courtesy to others she need never expect it from them, and that the best answer to Li Vcgss (the mtiilovA, the Urjrost city In New Mexico, Is the county test of Ben Miguel county, the most populous end wealthy county of the Territory. It ! Ituatod In latitude 86 degree! 40 minutes north, on the Gslllnss rtver, at the extern baae of the Rocky Mountain, at en altitude of about 6,500 feet auoro tea level. A few mllea to the welt are the mountains, to the eait and southeast a raat plain stretches away and affords a line stock and asrtcal- tural country. It has an enterprising population of between seven andelghtlthouaand people and If grow ing steadily. It Is situated on a grant of 600,000 acres, of which only a few thousand had a good title, but the leglala- . ture has Just passed a law which settles the title and will ihow the balance of the tract open to settle ment. The town Is lit by electric light, has water works. gas, street-car line, telephone exchange, a dally pa per, churches, academics, public and private schools, a number of solid banking and Snanclal Institutions and mercantile housoa, some of which carry stocks of Kni.Ouu, and whose trade extenda throughout New Mexico and Arizona. It la the chief commercial tovn of a vast tributary country, rich In resources. the development of which ha Just been commenced. dollne laa mountain and mineral region, covered rildenCSS 19 being blind to it with roruats of pine timber, atroramg an excellent quality of lumber. Juit west of town, one to two miles. Is an unlimited sjpply of the finest red and white sandstone, pronounced by. Prof. Hayden the finest in the United States. The valleys of the mountalnutreama are very rich and proline, producing wheat, oat, 'corn, grass, etc. In abundance. East and south of the town and like wise tributary to It, are the vast and well g rawed platna and.valleya of the Canadian and Fecoa rivers and. their tributaries, constituting the nncst stock rcRlon.for sheep and cattle In all the west. This great country la already well occupied with prosper oua cattle raisers and wool growers, who make La Vegas their business town and supply point. Build ing material Is. excellent, convenient and cheap, and the. business houses and residences are handsome! well built and permanent. i,as Vegas Is, without Question, the beat built town In New Mexico. The bcaduuartors of tho division of the A. T. S. F. Kail road extending from La Junta to Albuquer que are located here as well as their tie preserving works. Beside Its railroad connections It has regular stages esst toCabra Springs, Fort Bascom and Liber ty, and the Texas Panhandle I southeast to Anton Chlco, Fort Sumner and Hob well: north to Moravia Sapello and Itoclada; northeast, with Los Alamo, Oo- londrinas and Fort Union. Telephone lines extend to Los Alamos, 18 mllos distant, and to Mora, S3 miles via Bapelio and Itoclada. Water Is supplied by a gravity system of water works, tho water being taken from the river seven miles above tho city, and has a pressure of 140 lbs. While so fur theie are no producing mines very near Las Vegas, the prospecting done baa developed tho fact thut there are some very good prospects here that will, with proper working, soon pay well. Ma chinery has lately been purchaaed by some of these, and, undoubtedly, they will soon be making a regular output. Five miles northwest of Las Vegas, where the Ual- llnas river breaks out of the mountains, are situated the famous Hot Springs. The river here runs from west to cast, and the springs are on the south bank. almost central In a natural park, surrounded by pine clad and picturesque mountains. The water of the springs is as clear as crystal, of a high temperature and the mineral constituents are so subtly dissolved and blended aa to render It wonderfully beneficial to the and Wholesale Grocers.

An eastern anti-silver paper plains that a gentleman while carving a roast ot beef at his dinner table a shorfc timo since, found a silver dol lar next to otic of tho ribs. J Ins is another strong argument against the free coinage of silver. When it comes to debasing our currency to that point where cattle feed on it, its bad enough, but witn Ireo coinage there is a string probability of the product of our mines coming into di rect competition with the corn crop of Kansas for hog food.
