1882. Total prod. of N. Mex. mines: gold $150,000, silver $1,800,000. Of the total of 1,950,000, Sierra, Grant, and Socorro produced $1,820,000. Bernalillo prod. $5,000 silver. The Sandía mts gold and silver and Nacimiento copper mines promise well. In the N. w. are very extensive coal-beds, from 4 to 11 ft thick. Doña Ana (excluding what later became Sierra), prod. very small, but fair prospects in Organos dist at Memphis, Merrimac, Modoc, Iron King, Little Buck, and Copper Duke mines; also copper, gold, and silver in Jarilla dist. Colfax, prod. $20,000 gold. Copper mines on Poñil Cr. 600,000 acres of coal-fields, extensively worked, at Raton. Grant, prod. $425,000 sil- ver, $35,000 gold (but including, apparently, part of what was later Sierra co.). Leading districts: Percha, about Kingston; Silver City, where the Seventy- six mine has prod. in 10 years $1,500,000; Pinos Altos, with much placer and arrastra working, prod. $27,900; Central City, including the Sta Rita Copper and Iron Co.'s mines, greatest depth in the Romero 330 ft; Hanover, copper, silver, iron, lead, and gold; Georgetown, extensive workings in many mines, prod. $287,898 in silver; Lone Mountain, rich chloride silver ores, less worked than formerly; Burro mt. mines, including Oak Grove, Pas- chal, Bullard's Peak, and Cow Springs dist; Cook's Peak, Tres Hermanns, Victorio, Virginia, S. Simon, Telegraph, Eureka, Steeple Rock, Gillespie, Florida mt., and Carizillo; nearly all having extensive developments, much too complicated for mention here. Lincoln, prod. $40,000 gold, $25,000 sil- ver; co. particularly rich in free gold, with also silver, copper, iron, and coal; not much development of deep mines; leading district White Oaks; others, Gullimas, Jicarilla, Nogal, Rio Bonito, and Vera Cruz; great expec-

very large part of the territory's area. Every county has proven rich in mineral wealth, and in only a few-
tations and preparations for work. Mora, rich prospects in gold, silver, cop- per, iron, and coal; but no development, on account of the land grant. Rio Arriba, great resources, but practically no work done; districts, Bloomfield, Aztec, and the coal mines of Amargo. San Miguel, some progress at Min- eral Hill and Blue Cañon; but generally nothing but prospecting, with good results. Sta Fé, prod. $25,000 gold, $15,000 silver; numerous mines in Los Cerrillos and New Placers dist; prod. of the S. Pedro works $20,000 gold, $10,000 silver, 400,000 lbs. copper; 15,000 acres of anthracite coal; 400 tons mined for Sta Fé market. Sierra (included in Doña Ana), prod. $900,000 silver, $20,000 gold; chief district Lake Valley, where the Lincoln mine has prod. $838,958 in bullion in '82; also the Hillsborough dist, with extensive preparations for hydraulic mining. Socorro, prod. $430,000 silver, $10,000 gold; silver and copper deposits very extensive, but development hindered by lack of capital and Ind. hostilities; districts, Socorro, Magdalena, Water, Mogollon or Cooney, Black Range, Apache, Cuchillo Negro, Palomas S. Cristóbal, Mound Springs, Ladrones, Iron mt., Pueblo, Gallinas, Limitar, Pittsburg. S. Andrés, Oscuras, Taos, no product; some rich developments of gold, silver, and copper, especially in Picuries, Arroyo Hondo, and Rio Cristó- bal dist, besides placer mines. Valencia: Spiegelberg, La Joya, and Ladrones dist; much low-grade ore in these new dist not yet worked.
1883. Prod. $2,845,000 silver, $280,000 gold, total $3,125,000, of which all but $99,000 was prod. in Grant, Sierra, and Socorro counties; Valentine's estim. $3,413,519. A Permanent Territorial Mineral Exhibit' estab. at Sta Fe after the Tertio-millenial celebration The districts were mainly as before; in the following résumé by counties, from Burchard, only new and important items are noted. Bernalillo, old Span. mine opened in Las Huertas Cañon; gold found in old bed of the Rio Grande, near Alburquerque; promising dis- covery in Tijeras Cañon. Colfax, prod. of gold $25,000. Doña Ana, great activity in the Organos, especially in the Memphis copper and lead mines; also discov. in the Sacramento range. Grant, prod. $1,200,000 silv., $110,000 gold; rich discov. in Bald mt. and Bear mt. dist; Silver City is the centre of mining activity in N. Mex .; much progress in Steeple Rock gold mines; Carroll is a new dist; Monument dist rich in copper and lead; Florida dist rich in lead. Lincoln, prod. $24,000 gold, $10,000 silv .; still much activity in White Oaks and the other dist. Mora, strike in Poverty Hill mine, near Ocate. Rio Arriba, good promise in gold quartz and placers of the Head- stone dist. S. Miguel, great excitement over gold discov. at Las Vegas. Sta Fé, prod. $15,000 gold, $10,000 silver; new discov. of gold, silv., and copper in the north; Pecos dist in east, copper and silv .; Sta Fé gold dist 3 m. from the city, and Thayer Camp copper mines 8 m. Sierra co. (with Doña Ana), prod. $1,225,000 silv., $85,000 gold; Lake Valley, including Sierra Grande, Sierra Bella, and Apache, still flourishing and prod. $100,000 per month; Hillsborough, with the Bobtail mine, also productive. Socorro, prod. $400,000 silv., $6,000 gold; many discov., more systematic working, de- creased production; Iron Reef, new dist. Taos, $15,000 gold.
For 1884 the gov. reports prod. greater than ever before, though no statis- tics are obtainable. Prod. according to the newspapers $3,660,614. Ritch's Aztlan, of 1885, presents a view of mining progress by counties, showing en- couraging progress in most districts. This work has also a chapter on 'the coal-fields of New Mexico.' Immense copper deposits in Bernalillo are de- scribed. Colfax, from its placers and gold quartz, has yielded $2-3,000,000 since '68, having also an unlimited extent of bituminous coal, worked only at Raton. The Doña Ana, or Organos, mines promise great things, and rich prospects are found in the Potrillas Range. Grant is still the banner county, with its many districts and thousands of rich mines. In Lincoln the White Oaks, with its famous Homestake mine, is still the central district; Red Cloud

GENERAL RESULTS.
Rio Arriba, Mora, Valencia, and San Miguel-has this wealtlı not been extensively developed. The south-western counties of Grant, Sierra, and Socorro have produced nine tenths of all the bullion, and have to some extent drawn attention from the northern region; though Santa Fé county mines are very numerous. The bullion product of gold and silver is given as $1,300,000 in 1880, $815,000 in 1881, $1,950,000 in 1882, $3,125,000 in 1883, and $3,660,- 000 in 1884, most of which was produced in a few districts and a few mines of those districts. The re- sults seem small in view of the rosy-hued reports of 1880-2, after which years there was a noticeable reaction from the somewhat extravagant boom. There was much exaggeration of mining values in most sec- tions, for speculative purposes, much mismanagement, and especially much effort to work mines without sufficient capital. The surface deposits were wonder- fully rich and complicated; and much expensive ma- chinery proved useless when more rebellious ores were reached. Very few mines reached a depth of over 300 feet. The low price of copper and lead, with which the gold and silver were largely mixed, had a very depressing effect. While the Lake Valley mines and some others have shown large bodies of ore whose richness has rarely, if ever, been equalled, it must be confessed that no deep mines at all comparable to the Comstock, Leadville, or Tombstone have been de- veloped. Yet there is nothing, so far as I know, to
and Bonito are other districts. Rio Arriba has had no boom, but has illimi- table mineral wealth, millions (!) having been taken out by former inhabitants. The Amargo coal mines prod. 17,240 tons of coal in '83. Headstone dist has rich placers and veins, with considerable development. Sta Fé mines still increasing in number, with good prospects of tin, rich gold discov. at Jumbo, close to the city, and the invaluable beds of anthracite. S. Miguel shows little development, but fine ore at Rociado, near Las Vegas. Sierra has Lake Val- ley, the best district in the territory, and several other rich districts. At Lake Valley $15,000,000 in sight, ore running $100 to $27,000 per ton. In the 'Bridal Chamber ' pure silver may be melted off with a candle; and Gov. Saf- ford offered $50,000 for the ore that he could extract unaided in 10 hours. The Percha and Hillsborough dist hardly less rich. Socorro prod. $1,228,266 in '84; 53 districts; smelters of 240 tons per day eapacity and 15 stamps. Taos camps prosperous. In Valencia, rich mineral deposits, undeveloped.

indicate that such developments may not be confidently expected. New Mexico among the states and terri- tories in 1880 ranked eighth in the production of silver and thirteenth in gold, being tenth in production of the precious metals in the aggregate, per square mile, and per capita of population. There are no definite statistics of the copper and lead production, though these metals are found in immense quantities in many parts. There is hardly any metal or mineral not found in the territory. Mica and turquoise are mined suc- cessfully not far from Santa Fé. Coal deposits ex- tend in all directions, though extensively worked only at Amargo and Raton in the north; and near the capital are the only beds of anthracite to be found west of Pennsylvania. Iron ore is reported as abun- dant, and in close proximity to iron and limestone, a fact that cannot fail to have a deep significance for the future. Gravel deposits of gold are found in most of the counties, so rich that they have paid fair returns to miners who brought water in barrels or carried the dirt long distances in a dry season; and while hydraulic mining has not yet been largely remunerative in the few trials that have been made, there can be little doubt of ultimate success. No country has a climate better adapted to the mining industry; wood and water are amply sufficient in most districts for deep mining; ores are rich and widely distributed; practi- cally, what has been done in the past is mere prospect- ing; and there seems to be no good reason to doubt that in the future, when land-grant difficulties are settled, the best methods ascertained, transportation facilities secured, and capital invested, this territory will rank among the first in the production of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and coal.
The whole number of private land claims filed in the surveyor-general's office down to 1886, exclusive of the earlier pueblo Indian claims, was 205. Of these 13 were originally rejected and 141 approved,

leaving 51 not acted upon. Of the approved claims 46 were confirmed by congress, leaving 95 still pend- ing before that body; while patents were issued for only 15 of the confirmed claims. By instructions from the land-office, dated July 23, 1885, however, 35 of the claims originally approved were re-examined by Sur- veyor-general Julian before March 1887; and of these 23 were disapproved, six approved as equitable, three approved in part, two fully approved, and in one case a new survey ordered; so that of approved cases only 62 are now pending before congress. Meanwhile, all the approved claims but 13 have been surveyed, and found to embrace an area of 13,128,581 acres, the pueblo claims containing in addition 1,092,266 acres. I have thought it best to append a complete list of the grants, showing all desirable data.3
$ See p. 758. My authority for the list is the statements in the surveyor- general's annual reports, in U. S. Land Office Reports, 1864 et seq. (also a MS. letter of Surv .- gen. Julian, dated March 3, 1887, on transactions subse- quent to July 1883), but a large portion of the same data from the same source is found also in a table in Ritch's Legisl. Blue-Book, 129 et seq., prepared by Dav. A. Miller; also in Mills' Hand-Book, Las Vegas, n. d., 8vo, 35 p. See also résumé of legisl. proceedings for successive acts on matters connected with Span. and Mex. grants. Many congressional bills on the subject are recorded in the Globe and Journals, which, as they did not become laws, I have not cited. Additional ref. in chronologie order, chiefly made up of the surv .- gen.'s reports and congressional action on the same, are as follows: 1865. U. S. Govt Doc., 39th cong. Ist sess .; Mex.

Mex., A Voice from, on Private Land Claims, Wash., 1874, 12mo, 7 p., is a defence of the grants, particularly of the Maxwell grant, assailed by Sen. Sargent in debate.
