For a man who is crowine old. with neither o w wife nor child to bring him greetings on his birthday, I can conceive no thing more awful than to have no o mother who shall say, 'Bless you my son!' while in so doing she happily remembers, in a gentle autumn mood of love, all that full flowering sum mer love with which she greeted him on that first birthday." .

Water Is supplied by s gravity system of water worki, the water being taken from the river seven milei above the city, and hai a pressure of 110 lbs. Wlillo so fur theio are no producing mines very near Las Vegas, the prospecting done has developed the fact that there arc somo very good proipucls here that will, with proper working, soon pay well. Ma chinery has lately been purchased by some of lliese and, undoubtedly, they will soon be making a regular output. Five miles northwest ot Las Vegas, where the Ual Unas river breaks out of the mountains, are situated the famous Hot Spring!. Tho river here runs from west to east, aud tbo iprluga are on the south bank, almoit central In a natural park, lurrounded by pine clad sud picturesque mountains. Tho water ot the springs Is saclcar as cryilal, of a high temperature aud the mineral constituent! 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 la one of the finest In the World. The Mon tezuma hotel there Is very commodious, splendidly furnished and the management and tables arc all that can be desired, and the accommodation for guests Ii unsurpassed anywhere. The bath house Is large and very complete In all Its appointments. A branch lino of the Santa Fc. railroad runs from 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 Spring! good for ninety days at greatly "reduced rates. About 15 miles above the Hut Springs, at Hermit's Peak, generally called Old Daldy, a detached spur of the liocky Mountains, Is some of the finest scenery In Kow Mexico, The peak Is broken abruptly off on Its face, rising almost straight upauouject, whllo on the south side of the mountains the river cuts through, coming from the ton of the range. In a narrow canon over HUOu feet deep, rising In some places with out a break tho entire distance. Good fishing and hunting can bo had In tho mountains anywhere from 14) to 30 miles of Los Vegas.

Its elevation ou the east la about 4tul ct and on tho weit 12.UUU. The thirty-fifth parallel of latitude runs centrally through It. It is bounded on the north by Mora County, on the south by lle.ua- llllo and Chaves Couallei;an J extends from the sum mit of the main rangouf mountains on the west to fhoTcini I'anhandle on the east. It Is well watered by Hie Canadian, l'l-cos, Uallluas, Sapcllo and Tucolu- te rivers and tholr tributaries. Between the bnpo- lo and the Uallluas Is the great divide which separate! he waters flowing Into the Mlsalsslpl from those owing luto the Wo Grande. The western portion of the county Is mountainous, rising from the plains to tne highest range In tho Territory, capped with ctur nal snows. The culmination of tho mountains at such a great altitude, twelve thouaand feet, causes a great accumulation of snow, which constantly feeds the mountain streams with pure water, that passes If Into and through the valleya below. The Mors, Supello, Gulltnas, Tecololo and I'ecoa streams all have their sources In the same mouutalus and nearly in the same locality.' Tho precipitation f moisture on the eastern slopes of tho mountains by rain and snow is greater than In any other portion of tho Ter ritory. New Mexico Is as large as sll the New England States toBolbur, with New York and New Jersey thrown lu. I' ll alwut equally divided In grating, agricultural and mining lauds.

THE NEWS, Denver, . . Colorado. Any' one proving to our satisfac tion that ha 13 too poor to pay 15 conts per wo ok for the Ffiis Penes can havo it froa In the states we occasionally have an autumnal day when there is just . a. - . 1-1. .1 1 1 a tinge ol lrostiness in the air and a vast sea ot suungm inrougn wuicn the earth exultingly plunges; not a cloud in the sky, scarcely a breath of wind stirring the dust heaps, when effort of mind and muscle has ro limit. In New Mexico tlio land of all lands where "it is always afternoon," such days are tlio ruin, not the exception; and no other nook in New Mexico has so delightful a climate at all seasons of tho year as i.as Vegas Hot Springs. From November to April scarcely a day passes during winch the sun does not whine brilliantly and continuously. During the summer months, when lower countries are sweltering iu tho heat, there is the same genial warmth and glow without the enervating effect cof exces sive humidity. Tho average mid day winter temperature is from 60 to CO degrees Fahrenheit. In summer the highest flight of, the thermometer rarely exceeds 80 degrees at noon, and the average for that hour is only 75. Tho altitude (7,000 feet above tho sea), tho picturesque valley, the high, pine covered mountains tho even temperature, and warm, dry air, combino to ruako this a favorite resort for tourists and an ideal place for invalids. Las Vecras Hot Springs is located on the suotheastcrn slopeof the .San ta Fe range of the Kooky mountains, six miles from tho thrifty city of Las Vegas. Ihere are upward of forty hot and cold springs, the water irom tho best of them being conducted in pipes to a large and handsome bath houso of modern construction. Almost all forms of chronic disease yield to the curative effects of these wondorful waters. It is not claimed nor expected that everybody will be mado well. It is confidently asserted that where there is anything left to build upon good results almost always follow a thorough course of treatment at the Hot Springs, and some re markable cures have occurred. Persona who have failed to receive relief elsewhoro for rheumatism, catarrh, lung trouble and diseases of the blood aro invited to try the great New Mexico sanitarium. Skilled physicians are always in attendance. A branch line of the Atchison, Topeka it Santa Fe railroad connects the city with the springs. Five daily passenger trains each way render it easy ot access from Las Vegas. Telegraph and telephone lines give ad ditional communication with the outside world. But tho chief feature of the place, as;de from its pre-eminence as a resort for invalids, is tbe Montezuma Ho el, a commodious and massive structure of stone, crowning a slight emienco near the station. It may be doubted by those who know nothing n of western push and enterprise but here, in tho very heart of old-Spain-in-new-America, is the finest wat ering place hotel west of tho Alleghenies. Perhaps there are a few others that aro larger they are not many. Certainly none are more satisfying to the eye or more restful to tho tired, dusty, worn-out traveler. Large, handsome rooms, a fine cuisine, a commanding location and a careful cater ing to the wants of all guests make the Montenuma hotel peculiarly suita ble as a stopping place lor transcontinental tourists via the Santa I e route and for all classes of rest, pleasure and health seekers the country over.
