COUNTIES AND TOWNS OF NEW MEXICO.
Valencia county lies south of Bernalillo, having the same length from east to west, and covering an area of about 7,500 square miles. Its southern boundary with that of San Miguel forms a dividing line between northern and southern New Mexico. This is one of the old counties, its boundaries having been modified by acts of 1870 and 1882. The county seat was in early times at Valencia, but in 1852 was moved to Tomé, to Belen in 1872, back to Tomé in 1874, and finally to Las Lunas in 1876. The population in 1880 was 13,095, ranking third in the list of counties. There were 239 farms, of 97 acres average size, and farm products were valued at $102,701. In 1883 the
Puerto de Luna 600, Red River Springs 23, S. Hilario 600, most of these fig- ures including townships rather than villages. The newspapers are the Las Vegas Gazette, Optic, Revista, and Mining World; and the S. Lorenzo (or S. Hilario) Red River Chronicle, Crónica, and Mineral City News. G. W. Prichard's Report of San Miguel County was published at Las Vegas, 1882. See also H. T. Wilson's Historical Sketch of Las Vegas, Chicago, n. d., an excellent work; Porter's Directory of Las Vegas, 1882-3; N. Mex., Climate of, and Las Vegas Hot Springs, Chicago, 1885; Las Vegas Hot Springs, 3d ed., Spring- field, O., 1883; Alburquerque and Las Vegas Directory, 1883.
The following residents of S. Miguel co. have given me MS. Dictations or Statements, as noted in the list of authorities, on stock-raising and other in- terests of their region: Frank W. Dale, from Ohio, has since 1883 been in the cattle business at Carpenter's rancho, near Ft Bascom, where he is con- stantly increasing his herd of Durhams. Henry Dold, of Las Vegas, is the son of Andrew D., a German, who came in 1851 and became a prominent mer- chant and govt contractor, being the owner of the Hot Springs property, which he sold to the R. R. for $41,000. Dr E. C. Henriques, a practising physician of Las Vegas since 1878, has also a large stock range in Valencia co. He is a native of Conn. James C. Leary, a native of Mass., came in 1879, and was for 6 years foreman for S. W. Dorsey. Later he organized the Wagon Mound Cattle co., of which he is still secretary, being also largely interested in other companies, besides doing a live-stock commission business at Las Vegas. Francisco Lopez, a native of Sta Fé, was the founder of S. Lorenzo in 1862. He was also in the sheep and later the cattle business. W. H. McBroom, a Canadian, came to the territory in 1876, and lived at Sta Fé for 9 years. Then he engaged in cattle-raising near Ft Sumner, where, by owning water-rights, he controls a range of 800,000 acres. He is also inter- ested in breeding fine horses. Benigno Romero, born at Sta Fé, is a merchant at Las Vegas, in partnership with his brother, Don Hilario. To his Dictation is appended a newspaper biog. of his mother, Doña Josefa Delgado de Romero. Michael Slattery, a New Yorker, formerly engaged in freighting in Col. and Montana, came to N. Mex. in 1867, and is manager of the Waddingham Ranges and Cattle-raising Assoc., which controls 100,000 acres near Ft Bas- com, the Montoya rancho of 655,000 acres, and the P. P. P. range of 36,000 acres. Napoleon B. Stoneroad, residing with his family at Las Vegas, is a member of the firm of S. Brothers, who raise cattle on a large scale at the Cabra Springs range of 318,000 acres, having abandoned sheep as less profit- able. He is a native of Ala. and a '49er of Cal., coming to N. Mex. with a drove of sheep in 1876.

VALENCIA COUNTY.
land was assessed at $2,209,323, and all property at $3,834,200, there being 12,066 cattle and 217,778 sheep. These figures would indicate a good showing as com- pared with those for other parts of the territory; though most current descriptions point to a lack of development. The agricultural land is for the most part confined to the Rio Grande valley, whose length in Valencia is limited, but the grazing lands are of great extent, though standing in greater need of wells than many other sections. Mineral resources are almost entirely undeveloped, though several districts, notably the Manzano, Ladrones, La Joya, and Spiegel- berg, have shown good prospects. There are broad coal-fields and fine deposits of salt. Las Lunas, the county seat and chief town, has a population of about 2,000, and is a distributing point of some importance. Belen, or Bethlehem, has nearly 1,500 inhabitants. Fort Wingate, in the north-west, is near the Navajo reservation, and is intended to keep the Indians in subjection. Zuñi and Acoma are the aboriginal pue- blos, both famous in early annals. Coronado's route in the sixteenth century led him past Zuñi, or Cíbola, and the peñol town of Acoma to the great valley, and the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad follows nearly the
same route. The fall of Acoma was the deciding event of Oñate's conquest, and has been graphically narrated in Villagrá's epic. Laguna, by its situation, gives the overland passenger by rail his best view of a pueblo, though it is of comparatively modern origin.9
Lincoln county, lying south of San Miguel and Va- lencia, and occupying the south-eastern corner of the territory, is the largest of the counties, with an area of 20,000 square miles, and has the smallest population, only 2,513 in 1880. It was created in 1869, being
9 The census of 1880 gives Las Lunas a pop. of 876, S. Mateo 311, and Cubero 253. In 1883, according to the N. Mex. Bus. Directory, Las Lunas had 2,000, Belen 1,500, Manzano 600, Peralta 1,000, S. Mateo 411, Zuñi 2,000, Laguna 1,200, Cubero 400. The R. R. stations have as yet assumed no im- portance as towns. The county has no newspaper, and the settlements still retain for the most part their old Mexican characteristics.

cut off from Socorro, and the boundaries being defined by act of 1878. The seat was fixed at Rio Bonito, formerly called Las Placitas, and renamed Lincoln in 1870. The county was for a time attached to Socorro for judicial purposes. It is watered by the Rio Pecos, the old Rio de las Vacas, and its branches; and the great valley is thought to possess great agricultural possibilities for the future. In the east, adjoining Texas, the plains are arid and largely unfit for grazing except by means of wells. In the western plains and mountain valleys the grazing is excellent. In 1883 Lincoln headed the list with 81,053 cattle, and stood sixth with 137,013 sheep. The assessed value of prop- erty was $2,053,176; and 18,283 acres of land were valued at $60,628. In 1880 there were 60 farms, averaging 224 acres in size, and producing $38,749. Rich mines have been worked in the districts of White Oaks, Nogal, Bonito, Red Cloud, and others in the western mountains. Among the impediments to progress the most serious have been Indian troubles, the disorderly character of the population, and the lack of means of transportation. Here, under the protec- tion of Fort Stanton, is the Apache reservation, and the field of countless raids in former years. Here have been the most serious disturbances and 'rustler' wars between Texan, native, and Mexican stock-men, miners, and desperadoes. And this is the only county that has no railroad, though several are projected. Lincoln, the county seat, with 500 inhabitants, has no special importance, except in being the county seat. White Oaks, a mining town, has a population of about 1,000, and is the county metropolis. Roswell is re- garded as the prospective site of an important agri- cultural centre.10

F'.), The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid, Sta Fé, 1882, 137 p., is a biog. of Wm H. Bonney, a famous outlaw and murderer, by the sheriff who finally killed him. The book contains much information about the 'Lincoln Co. War' of stock-men in 1878, etc.

SOCORRO COUNTY.
Socorro county covers an area of about 12,000 miles west of Lincoln and south of Valencia. It originally included all of southern New Mexico; but Doña Ana was cut off in 1852 and Lincoln in 1869; and the boundaries were otherwise somewhat changed in 1870, 1872, and 1880. The county seat was removed to Limitar in 1854, but restored to Socorro in 1867. With its long stretch of fertile alluvial soil in the main valley, and its 4-6,000,000 acres of grazing lands, this county is believed to have unexcelled advantages for agriculture and stock-raising, though both industries, and especially the former, have hitherto been too much neglected. In 1880, nevertheless, there were 728 farms, averaging 53 acres each, and producing $217,295. In 1883 the assessment was $330,793 on 393,170 acres; there were 20,430 cattle and 66,615 sheep; and the total valuation of property was $2,450,- 193. According to Ritch, in 1882-4 cattle increased from 9,000 to 70,000, while sheep decreased from 300,000 to 100,000. Mining activity dates from about 1881, and in the yield of silver, gold, and copper So- corro has become one of the leading counties, with over 50 districts and many remarkably productive mines. With the growth of this great mining indus- try the others retrograded at first, but in recent years there are indications of revival; and a prosperous future seems assured. Socorro, the county seat, is a flourishing town of over 3,000 inhabitants, with every sign of becoming a commercial centre of great impor- tance; and doubtless other settlements will eventually enter the race of progress, though hitherto all have been content with mere existence. The railroad down the Rio Grande traverses the county from north to south, two short branches extend to the mines at Carthage and Magdalena, and here, as everywhere, several cross-county roads are looked for in the early future. In a certain sense Socorro may be regarded as the oldest Spanish name in New Mexico, though it is not quite certain that the pueblo or spot so named
798
COUNTIES AND TOWNS OF NEW MEXICO.
in the sixteenth century by Oñate is exactly the site of the present town. In this region was the southern- most group of pueblos, noted by all the early explorers coming from the south, or in the case of Coronado from the north; and the name Nuestra Señora del Socorro was given in 1598, in recognition of the succor there found after crossing the southern deserts. Span- ish and Mexican annals deal for the most part only with the line of settlements along the river, where the early pueblos have long since disappeared; but in the north-east were several flourishing mission pueblos, eventually destroyed by Apaches, the ruins of which are still seen at Abó, Gran Quivira, and other places.11
Grant county occupies the south-western corner of the territory, with an area of about 7,000 square miles, being bounded on the west by Arizona and on the south by Mexico. It is a new county, organized by act of 1868. It was then cut off from Doña Ana, and a small portion of its territory was included in the Arizona county of 1860-1, before Arizona was or- ganized as a territory. There was in 1877 an un- successful attempt to attach it to Arizona; and the boundary was slightly changed in 1880. The county seat was originally at Central City, but was moved to Pinos Altos in 1869 and to Silver City in 1872. This region does not figure in the early records, except as the Santa Rita copper mines were worked to some ex- tent in Mexican and Spanish times. It is essentially a mining county, the development of which began at Pinos Altos in 1866, and the yield of which in 1872-81 was about $5,000,000. In this industry, as elsewhere recorded, it heads the list of New Mexican counties. Here was the home of the Apaches, and the scene of many a bloody combat. The population was 4,539 in
11 Socorro, with a population of 1,272, is the only town noted in the census of 1880. S. Marcial and Chloride are mentioned in 1883; also as post-offices Beaver, Ft Craig, Horse Springs, Magdalena, Paraje, S. Antonio, S. Fran- cisco, Cherryville, and Clairmount. Ft Craig is a place of historical interest, as is Valverde, the battle-field of 1862. Magdalena, Prospectus of the Town, is a pamphlet pub. at Sta Fé, 1885, 12mo, 24 p. M. Fischer and A. Abeytia are the authors of the Report as to Socorro Co., Soc., 1881.

GRANT COUNTY.
1880, and has been doubled since. The native or Mexican element is comparatively small. There are excellent agricultural tracts, especially in the valleys of the Mimbres and Gila, where about 10,000 acres are cultivated, the mining camps affording an advan- tageous market. In 1880, 68 farms, with an average extent of 144 acres, are noted as producing $145,167. In 1883 the assessment was $64,350 on 5,052 acres; total valuation of property $2,960,874. Grazing lands are extensive, of good quality, and somewhat more fully utilized than in other parts of the territory. In 1883 there were 15,871 cattle and 328,400 sheep. The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the county from west to east, with a narrow-gauge branch from Lordsburg to Clifton in Arizona; while the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fé road comes to Deming and has a branch to Silver City. The county seat, Silver City, is the mining centre, and though a new town, incorporated in 1878, has a population of 3,000, with solid brick buildings and all the characteristics of a thriving modern city. Dem- ing, at the junction of the two great railroad lines, and noted as the only competing railroad point in the territory, has sprung up since 1880, and has a popula- tion of nearly 2,000, with well-founded aspirations to the position of county metropolis in the early future. Georgetown, Pinos Altos, Santa Rita, Lordsburg, Shakespeare, and Carlisle are the most prominent of other settlements.12
Doña Ana county covers an area of about 6,700 square miles on the southern frontier, between Grant on the west and Lincoln on the east. It comprises a considerable portion of the Gadsden purchase of 1853- 4. The county was cut off from Socorro in 1852, and then included all of southern New Mexico. Besides
12 The census figures of 1880 were: Central City 126, Georgetown 540, Pinos Altos 150, S. Lorenzo 284, Silver City 1,800. This county produced 15,222 lbs. of butter in 1880, more than double the product of any other. W. H. Lawrence's Report as to Grant County, Silver City, 1881, contains nearly all the information extant in other works. The newspapers are the Silver City New South-west, Mining Chronicle, and Telegram; the Lordsburg Advance; Georgetown Silver Brick; and Deming Headlight.

the cutting-off of the other southern counties, as else- where recorded, the boundary was modified by acts of 1870, 1872, and 1878. The county seat was origi- nally Doña Ana, but was changed to Las Cruces in 1853, to Mesilla in 1856, and finally to Las Cruces again in 1882. The population in 1880, including most of Sierra county, was 7,612; and is now, alone, probably much more. The lower Rio Grande valley is known as the Mesilla valley, and is a veritable garden-spot, famous not only for its general crops of grain, but for its vegetables-especially onions-small fruits, and above all, for its grapes and wine. Its soil is fertile and easily irrigated; two crops in a year are often raised, and hay can be cut on the mesas any day in the year. In 1880 there are noted 431 farms, averaging 107 acres, and producing $175,005. In 1883 the assessment was $474,817 on 36,584 acres; and the total valuation of property was $1,417,354. Back from the river the mesas furnish the same ad- vantage for grazing that are found in other regions; but in 1883 only 7,248 cattle and 24,853 sheep are reported. Rich mines have been worked, especially in the Organos, Jarillas, and Potrillas mountains. The county is traversed by the Southern Pacific Rail- road from Deming to El Paso, and by the Atchison road from Deming to Rincon, and from Rincon down the Rio Grande to El Paso, so that no region is better supplied with railroads. Las Cruces, the county seat, has about 1,500 inhabitants, a newspaper, the Rio Grande Republican, and is the business centre. Me- silla, with a population of 1,200, and another paper, the News, is a close rival. Rincon and Nutt are rail- road junction stations. This section has no early history, except that it was traversed by all the ex- plorers and travellers between new and old Mexico. I have not even been able to learn from what particu- lar Doña Ana the settlement derived its name; prob- ably from the wife of one of the early explorers or governors. The first settlement of the Mesilla valley

was by a Chihuahua colony, after the boundary survey had left this tract in Mexico, and before the Gadsden treaty restoring it to the United States. 13
Sierra county is a new creation of 1884, when it was formed from portions of Doña Ana, Grant, and Socorro, with county seat at Hillsborough. It has an area of about 2,100 miles, as I estimate it from the map, though different figures are given by Ritch and others. On account of its recent origin no statistics are accessible. It is a mountainous region, with con- siderable grazing ranges, which have been compara- tively well utilized, and many fertile though small valleys, which may in time be cultivated. The main industry is, however, mining, in which the county takes the highest rank in proportion to its size, and very nearly so without reference to area. Only a few mines have been developed, notably those of the Lake Valley district, but these have proved by far the most productive of the territory. Hillsborough, the county seat, Lake Valley, and Kingston are connected with the main railroad by a branch from Nutt station, and are thriving mining centres, of small population as yet ; and the northern settlements are Palomas, Fairview, Grafton, Robinson, and Chloride. The Cañada Alamosa is known to the reader as the site of a former Indian reservation ; and in the main Rio Grande valley, now traversed by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fé Railroad, is the famous Jornada del Muerto, an object of terror in early times to all who were compelled to make the trip between old and new Mexico.
13 La Luz and Tularosa, with pop. of 249 and 549, are the only towns named in the census of 1880. The post-offices named in 1883 are Colorado, near Hatch Station, 500, Doña Ana 600, Ft Selden, S. Agustin, Tularosa, Chamberino, La Mesa, Thorne, and Victoria. A. J. Fourtain's Report on Doña Ana Co., 1882, corresponds with the other county reports cited, and is quoted by Ritch and others.
