civilisation Is shown by the fact that of
US TI.000.P00 acres , of land, less than
600,000 acres are under actual cultiva
tion. Hut Hs rlvef valleys, once their
famished sands are satlsMd with
draughts o water from the big Irriga
tion lakes, reward the Irrlgationlst a
thousand-fold. . Wet la the only magic
necessary to transform them from
parched deserts of hot sand toverltab!e
bowers of wealth producing vegetation
In return for, the water to satisfy
their thirst they give barley that stands
seven feet high, oats whose heads meas
ure SO Inches, pears weighing It ounces
each, peaches that will balance a pound
of gold.-watermelons that weigh 0
pounds each and cabbage heads that tip
the beam at 41 pounds. At the Louis
iana purchase exposition the peaches of
New Mexico were awarded first pte
mium, In the face of the competition of
California and all the south.
Honey la Sees. -.','.
The's bloomlne- valleys stir the busy
honey bee to unusual activity, a single
colony of them making the bee keoper
more than a hundred pounds of honey
a year. In one case an -average slsed
eolony stored ! pound of prime hon
ey In single season. The mountains
aod woodlands whlcH skirt Uie valleys
offer a rich field for the old fashioned

that have escaped from their hives have
taken up their abode there. ,,.

New Mexico leads all the American
states in raising Angora goats. Two of
Its pHss winners exhibited at th St
Louis exposition wars remarkable for
their fleeces. On yielded 14 pounds,
which sold for $4J. The other sheared
It pounds, 10 pounds of which sold for
fS a pound. Th introduction of the
Angora goat Into th United Bute was
during th administration of President
Polk.. The Bultan of Turkey sent for a
man to come and experiment with the
raising of cotton In that country. The
choice fell upon Dr. James B. Davis of
Columbia. 8. C. and his work was so
satisfactory that on his departure from
Turkey the sultan presented him with
nine Angora goat. Thl small flock
was the foundation of the Angora goat
Industry In this country, theft now be
ing over a million of the little animals
In th United Btates and Alaska.
Biff Irrigation Project,
Of the several Irrigation projects un
der way In New Mexico, the most Im
portant Is the Rio Grande. This pro
ject Is partly In New Mexico, partly In
Texas and partly In Old Mexico. The
Irrigating works are all situated In th
United Btatea. though about 15,000
acres of Mexican land , will be bene
fitted. El Paeo. Texas, Is in the very
heart of the Irrigated country, and Is
already one of the principal cities or
the southwest. No finer farming region
will be found in all the world than
that which will be reclaimed by the Rio
Grande. At least 180,000 acres or land
will be Irrigated with thre feet of wa
ter to the acre per year.
Th El Paso chamber of Commerce
declare that the sediment of the Rio
Qrande Is richtr In potash and nitro
gen tnan , in son c&rnea aown oy me
Nile. Cantaloupes grow at the rate of
11,000 to the acre, the receipts running
from J685 to J 7 80 per acre. Onions
yield from 15 to 20 tons per acre, and
mil from 30 to $40 per ton. Asparagus
has been known to "yield as high as 12,
000 pounds to 'the acre, and to sell for
12 Ki cents a pound, or $1600 per acre.
Of course these 'crops all require much
attention, and these figures show their
gross value. But when they are com
pared with the 10 bushels of wheat th
farmers elsewhere get. with a gross
value of less than $30 to th acre. It
shows th possibilities of Irrigation
farming. . 1
Alfalfa Is a favorite crop with hose
who do not care to keep a large force
of hands.- Once It gets a good start un
der Irrigation It requires but little care
or expense; and can be looked after by
a man who Is tied up with other af
fairs. For Instance, the postmaster of
El Paso, In addition to his official du
ties, manages a large dairy and cuts
some 3000 tons of alfalfa from his
ranch below the city every year. It
yields from five to ten tons to the
acre. Is cut some five times a year,, and
sells at from $10 to $15 a ton.
Highly mineralised.
The mining Industry In New Mexico
Is In Its Infancy. While the Spanish
conqutstadores failed to find the fabled
treasures of Cibola, there are evidences
that gold was taken .from the river beds
and gulches of the territory for a long
period by the aborigines, and that
placer mines were worked by white men
in the Santa Fe region 200 years before
th California discovery. More than
200 commercially valuable minerals arc
found In New Mexico, and of these coal
Is the' most important It Is estimated
by the United States geological survey
that there are at least 1,500,000 acres of
coal land that may be worked profit
ably, and that there are nearly 9,000,
000,000 tons of coal In sight.
-Salt and lime are found in inexhausti
ble quantities. At Zunl Crater, some' 60
miles from Albuquerque, there are vast
beds of nearly pure salt. There are sev
eral million tons In sight with the for
mation of more going on all the time.
The turquoise stones found In New Mex
ico rival-' those of Persia, and Its opals;

Anybody who would read a play with
such an unpromising title as "The Test"
deserws all likely to go with It. so
Blanch Walsh can hardly expect to be
wept over for her, present gloomy and
desolate cross section of problem play
bearing that name. . Under th circum

to study the ways and means of the
aetors burdened with the play of Jules
Eckert Ortodman, for It Is a superior

Emma Eltynge, a struggling actress,
and Freddie McVane, the chorus girl's
delight, are a woman and a man with
unsavory pasts. Emma falls In love
with Arthur Thone, a novelist of high
Ideals, and McVane becomes a suitor
of Arthur's sister, Peggy.
Arthur wishes to marry Emma, and
his mother and sister object because
of her grimy past. On the other hand,
Peggy, knowing McVane's loathsome
history, condones It on the ground that
It Is the man's privilege to break every

complications, with the final curtain
showing Emma In Arthur's arms, re
nentant and cleansed, and McVane's In
glorious exit with a ticket for Europe
and oblivion as far as Peggy Is con
cerned.
Miss Walsh made Emma a courageous,
self-reliant girl, with a bigness of na

Latest Letter from Our Mine
T. B. Purcell, President Swastika Mines, Sandpoint, Idaho, January 30, 1910.
Portland, Oregon.
Dear Sir Just arrived from camp. Will express the ore to you in the morning; will also send you
some of the new ore we struck in the lower cross-cut tunnel, which is high grade ore. The boys struck
it the day after you left camp. We have about a foot of it and it runs high in gold, copper, silver and
lead. We took out about a half a ton of it going across the tunnel, so you see it will make ore mighty A
fast When we get drifting on it, which will be. just as soon as we get the cross-cut tunnel about ten feet
beyond it, as the ore is running the opposite direction to the cross-cut tunnel. v
In sixty days from today you need not be surprised to see six four-horse teams hauling ore from (
the mine to the lake. John Flewelling of Lakeview was at the mine yesterday and offered to bet $100
that sucn would be the case, but failed to get anybody at the Swastika mine to take him up.
- As soon as we get far enough past the ore I will put four more miners to work taking out ore. I
do not think I will bother you for any more money to work on after this month, unless it will be to
purchase horses, wagons, etc., to transport the ore from the mine to the lake. Of course, you know
horses are high in this neck of the woods, and it might be good policy for you to see what you can get
a couple of good teams, that weigh about 3000 pounds for in Portland, together with trucks, harness,
etc., to go with them.
The Swastika is sure a mine, and striking this last ore vein is something I did not look for, for
at least another 100 feet, so you see it is like getting money from home. So at last you have made good
with a big mine in Portland, but Portland people seem.to be lucky m their mining ventures tn Idaho,
as you will remember that it was Portland people who made' the famous Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine,
but I think before the year is out that the Swastika will have it skinned seven ways from a deuce.
Hoping everything is going well with you in Portland, as it surely is with me at this end of the
line, I remain, yours very truly, (signt J. FERGUSON.
