the country is now ami formany

ofjndians. The riyer in its rapu

take considerable more expense to

is a rich country and surely was the
garden Adam pla. ed in when a boy.
Lincoln is situated on Ihe Kio
Bonito. Considerable business is car
ried on at this placo. Ten miles above
Lii'coln, on the ame stream, Fort
Stanton is tit uated. This is one of
the prellicsi places on ihe route. The
military have taken pains lo improve
on the natural beauties of i he country
by plant ina shade trees and imkiii"
other adornment . This post was
burned by General Huberts in 18G2,
during the raid of the Texans through
New Mexico. It has been rebuilt
since that t iine uid now several com
panies of soldiers ate kept Ihcre all
the time. Capt. Conrad is in com
mand of liii-; post.
From Sianfon to White Oaks it is
about 35 miles and the road usually
traveled is good.
WHITE OAKS.
This much talked of, heard of and
read of place is one of lite inosl beau
tiful town sites in America. The
town, for that is what it should now
be ea'led, and not a camp as I has
previously been known, is situated
on a bench or table as it were, about
a quarter of a mile wide and three
quarters of a mile long. The table or
bench is as level a nu iueline piano
and admirably situated for the busi
ness portion of a city Two arroyas
form two lines of demarcation
between it and the surrounding hills.
One comes down front the direction of
Lone mountain and enters tlie town
at the north-east aud tkirts along the
north and dually cuts across on the
west portion and goes out at the
south wen. The other comes down
from the Cañón del 'Qjo, skirts the
town ou the south and flows out at
the south-west iu conjunction with
the other arroyo. All around the
entire extent of the town there is &
level truer of bind several miles iu
width, which is only a few feet higher
than the present town. This land Is
covered with a heavy growth of
p:ñon timber and is a splendid place
for dwelliugs. A i evidence built at
any point on this elevation will com
mand a view of the entire city. Then
is u finishing touch to this panorama
ofbeautv. the Patos mountains rise
up on the south, Baxter mountain on
the west, Cariza mountains on the
south, and Lone mountain, the high
es' of all the surrounding peaks, on
the north; thus giving the whole
place a kiud of a pot shape, with the
bottom reversed. More magnificence
of situation can hardly be imagined
thau that possessed by the little town
of White. Oaks. Several gulches or
canons cut the mountain iu various
directions, the most noted of which is
Baxter Gulch on which is situated the
Home Stake, Black I'riuce, Silver
Cliff, Little Nell and a number of
other valuable mines. A number of
springs are to be fouud about two
miles from the town along the Cañón
del Ojo, several of which are large and
will afford an abundance of water for
n vitvir 1'ii'irn c I v Wlilfl finirá ciníii t
from which the district, derives its
name is a very large one and is sur
rounded by a grove of large white
oaks. The spring is walled up and
the water is clear and pure. There Í3
a clear line of demarcation between
the carboniferous deposits aud the ig
neons rocks. Ihe former are not
mineral bearing further than the coal,
which is among its deposits. It is
in tho latter in which all the precious
metals are found. Ihe town is situat
ed wholly ou the carboniforous age,
therefore water can, aud has been
found in abundance by digging wells
ihe springs are also found on the
south and east of the town in this de
posit. The igneouB rocks 6cem to have
been forced up and over the later
formations, therefore much care has
to be exercised by prospectors so as
not to get over ou the carboniforous
rocks and lsse their labor as no min
erly is found in them.
Lack of time prevented examining
the numerous mines iu the vicinity of
this interesteng Istlle town as careful
ly as we desired, however we had the
pleasure of seeing some of them
(To be continued).
President Hayes.
President Hayes is expected to pass
through town to-day. Several of the
leading citizens of Las Vegas have
telegraphed him I hat a reception
would be tendered him at this place
however short his stay may be with
us. Arrangements have been perfect
ed for the Band, the Millitary Com
pany and Lodge No. 4, I. O. O. F. to
meit him at the depot. As it is not
known at what hour the special train
with the Presidential party on board
wi I arrive ail those desirous of tak
iug part iu this reception are request
to be ready to turn out at a momenta
warning. All uniforms, regalia, etc.,
etc., should be left in readiness so that
they can be obtained without delay
The commission houses will be closed
during the reception and as complete
a success will be made of it as the eir
euniktanees of the case will allow
Hayes is the first President of the TJ
S. who has ever visited this Territory
during his term of office and therefore
we should aim to make the it (fair as
complete and memorable as possible.
The following is the telegram sent to
intercept the noted travelers :
Ruth erfokd B. Hayes, President
The citizens of Las Vegas earnestly
invite you to favor us w'th a call in
passing, if not longer, for one hour.

REGISTRATION.
Somo voters are led into the error
that the lists posted up by the board
of registration are authority when it
comes to voting. These lists are
merely for the purpose of showiug
the names on the registration books
at the time they were copied and to
afford information to those not on
the list that their names are not regis
tered on the books. The lists are not
copied ou tho books again, so any cor
rect ions or names entered on the lists
posted up are of no avail. The cor
rections must be made at the registra
tion office on the books. (Jo there
and havu your name entered and
