The valleys of the mountain" streams ara very rich and proline producing, wheat, oats, corn, grass, etc., In abundance. Kast and south of the town and like wise tributary to It, are the vast and well grassed plains andlvalleys of the Canadian and Pecos rivers and their tributaries, constituting the finest, stock region for sheep and cattle in all tho west. This great country Is already well occupied with prosper ous cattle raisers and wool growers, who inoke Las 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. Las Vegas Is, without question, the best built town In New Mexico. The headquarters of the division of tl:o A. T. 8. F. liallroad extending from La Junta to Albuquer que are located here as well as their tie preserving works. Besides Its railroad connections It has regular stages eaat to Cabra Springs, I ortCascom and Liber ty, and the Texas Panhandle ! southeast to Anion Clilco, Fort Bumuersnd Roswell; north to Mora via Bapello and Roclada; northeast with Los Alamos, Oo londrlnas and Fort Union. Telephone lines extend to Los Alamos, 13 miles dlsunt, and to Mora, 89 miles via Bapello and Roclada. Water Is supplied by a gravity system of water worka, the water being taken from the river seven miles above the city, and baa u pressure of 140 lbs. While so far there are no producing mines very near Las Vegas, the prospecting done has developed the fact that there are some very good prospects here that will, with proper working, soon 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 Unas river breaks out of the mountains, are situated the famous Uot Springs. The river hero runs from west to east, 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 ate so subtly dissolved and blended as to render It wonderfully benettclal to the human system. In addition and supplementary to tho advantages possessed by the mineral water, the climate Is one of the finest in the world. The Mon tezuma hotel there Is very commodious, splendidly furnished and the management and tables are all that can be desired, and the accommodation for guests Is unsurpassed anywhere. The bath bouse Is large and very complete In all Us appointments. A branch line of the Banta Fe.rahroad runs from Las Vegas to the Hos Springs, connecting with all trains. At present round-trip tickets are sold from Kansas City and eastern points to tho 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 Uucky Mountalns,ls some of the finest scenery In New Mexico, Tho peak Ik broken abruptly off on Its face, rising almost straight up awMcet. while on the south side of the mountains the river cuts through, coming from the top of the range, in a narrow cunon over SOU) feet deep, rising In some places with out a break the entire distance. Uoud ashing and hunting can be had In the mountalus anywhere from SsU to 30 miles of Lsa Vegas. The average temperature for the year,18K taken at the Montciuma Hotel each day was as follows, Jan nary, 4 degrees; February, W; March, So; April, eu May, 68; Juno, Mt July.TO; August, 77; September, 70: October. 62; November, M; Decembei. 60. San Miguel Is the empire county of New Mexico. It Is on the average, one hundred and eighty miles long by ninety-five miles wide, and ;contalnlng about I.4U0.UU0 acres, embraces within Its boundaries rugged and wooded mountains, extensive plslns and fertile valleys. Its elevation on the eaat la about 4uu) feet and on the west UUU0. 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 range of mountains on the west to the Texaa Panhandle on the east. It Is well watered by the Canadian, Pecos, Oalltnaa. Bapello andTeeolo te rivers and their tributaries. Between the Bape lo and the Oalllnas Is the great divide which separates the waters flowing Into the MIsslsslpt from those flowing Into the Rio Grande. The western portion of the county is mountainous, rising from the plains to the highest range In the Territory, capped with eter nal snows. The culmination of the mountains at such a great altitude, twelve thousand feet, causes a great accumulation of snow, which constantly foods the mountain streams with pure water, that passes off Into and through the valleys below. The Mora, Bapello, Galllnas, Tecolute and Pecos streams all have their sources In the same mountains and nearly In the same locality. The precipitation of moisture on the eastern slopes of tho mountains by rain and saow Is greater than In any other portion of the Ter- ''nJw Mexico is as large as all the New England States together, with New York and New Jersey thrown in. It Is about equally divided In graxlng, agricultural and mining lands. Million of acres, rich In resources, are waiting to be occupied. It bos the precious motals, coal, Iron, stock ranges, agricul tural, horticultural and grspe lauds, splendid scenery, more sunshine, mora even temperature, mora ex hilarating atmosphere, than any other country on this contlnont, low taxes and an active home market for all agricultural products. New Mexico wanta manufaotorlee of every de scription, more farms, gardens, orchards, vine-yards miners, stock raise rs-a million mora Industrious people to develop Its resources and make for them selves comfortable homes.
