Situated on the Colorado River, where the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge is located, 247 miles west of Tucson, 250 miles west of Prescott, and 731 miles southeast of San Francisco. It is an important river trading point and trans- fer depot. It is the county seat, and its population is now 1,500. Opposite the town, on the California side of the river, is Fort Yuma, garrisoned by sev- eral companies of troops. The place including across the river, was first called Colorado City, then Arizona City, and afterwards by its present' name.

NEW MEXICO.
ALPHABETICALLY.
Ox March 2, 1867, that portion of New Mexico north of the 37th parallel of latitude was by an act of Congress attached to Colorado, leaving the New Mexico of to-day with the following boundaries: north by the 37th parallel; east by the 103d meridian; south by the 32d parallel, except a few square miles lying to the sou h of the latter on the southwest; and on the west by the 109th meridian. The Territory thus having an average breadth of 335 miles; length of eastern boundary 345 miles, and length on western boundary 390 miles; the whole covering an area of 121,201 square miles. By geographical divisions it is bounded on the north by the State of Colorado, on the east by the public domain and the State of Texas and the Republic of Mexico, and on the west by the Territory of Arizona. The Territory is divided into twelve counties as follows: Colfax, Taos, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Santa Fé, Bernalillo, Valencia, Socorro, Lincoln, Doña Aña and Grant Counties ..
The chief towns are: Santa Fe, the capital of the Territory and military head- quarters; Las Vegas, county seat of San Miguel; Albuquerque, of Bernalillo; Cimarron of Colfax; Mora, of Mora County; Taos, of Taos County; Tierra Ama- rilla of Rio Arriba; Las Lunas, of Valencia; Socorro, of Socorro County; Mesilla, of Doña Aña; Lincoln, of Lincoln; and Silver City, of Grant County. These towns are all important business points, and all, with the exception of Lincoln, are on or near railroads. They vary in population from 400 in Lincoln to 7,000 in the capital city. The population of the Territory with the recent increase is about 125,000, seven-eighths of which is to the manor born. In addition, there are about 8,000 Pueblo Indians, who have been decided by the territorial courts to be citizens; besides as many more of nomadic Indians, counting Navajos, Apaches and Utes, that may be distinctly classed as belonging to New Mexico.
The story of Cabeca de Vaca-of how he journeyed by land and water from the year 1528 to 1536 to this locality from Florida, reciting an account of hardships and ·hairbreadth escapes of the journey, and of the hospitality (sometimes illy requited) of the village Indians, would seem to point to the advent of the Span- iards in what is now known as New Mexico. Coronado's expedition, in 1840, only resulted in the introduction of sheep, for through the excesses of his men, Coronado was obliged to return to the gulf without financial success, and in dis- grace. The next expeditions were those of Espejo, by the Rio Grande Valley, forty years later. His visits were strongly opposed by Indians, however, and only resulted in his gaining much valuable information. The first immigration that resulted in a permanent settlement was under Oñate, in 1597, in Rio Arriba County. The following year a settlement was made at Santa Fé. From this time forward there seems to have been a considerable Spanish population in the Territory. In 1680 we learn the Spaniards were driven out of Santa Fé and the Territory by Pueblo Indians. It was then that the churches, convents, and all the belongings of the Europeans were destroyed by the exasperated natives, many of the former being overtaken and killed. At that time (16S0) it appeared as though all traces of the whites would be effaced, but they gradually regained their foothold, and in 1799 the population, as officially stated, was 23,769 Span- iards, and 10,369 Mission Indians. The first merchandise was brought to New Mexico across the plains, in 1804, from Illinois.
In 1821 came Mexican independence, and in 1822 came to New Mexico a gov- ernment under the republic, with Francis Xavier Chaves as political chief. The overland trade with the United States virtually dates from the same year.
November 29, 1835, is memorable from being the date of publication of the first newspaper west of St. Louis. It was named El C'repuscuca (The Dawn). 1837 brought us to the thrilling scenes of the revolution, that resulted in the assassin- ation of Governor Peraz. 1842 dates the Texas invasion, and August 18, 1846, the American occupation of New Mexico, by General Stephen W. Kearney.

New Mexico.
THE RESOURCES OF NEW MEXICO.
There are three interests in New Mexico worthy consideration; the mineral, the grazing, or pastoral, and the agricultural; and they may be said to constitute the resources of the Territory, as manufacturing is confined almost exclusively to jewelry, of which very exquisite work in filigree is produced in Santa Fé, mostly from gold and silver native to the Territory.
AGRICULTURE.
Agriculture in New Mexico is yet in its primitive condition. The wooden plow of the Mexican fathers holds preference with the majority of farmers. Development is barely sufficient to serve anticipation. Corn, wheat, oats, barley, and the table vegetables generally are raised with a view to the home market, which is quite limited. Corn is produced best in the valleys along the banks of streams. I have seen wheat and oat-fields 6,000 and 7,000 feet above the sea level as rich as any in Illinois and Minnesota. It is not possible to state even approximately the area of such productions. All irrigable lands, wherever they may be in the Territory, belong to the productive or farming class. The depth of the soil is something wonderful. With rains as in the Mississippi Valley, the results of intelligent labor would astonish the world; as it is, no one thinks of land for cultivation except it be irrigable. In this sense water is king.
THE MINERALS OF NEW MEXICO.
New Mexico will come quite up with her neighbors in the yield of precious metals. A variety of causes have heretofore contributed to prevent her thorough exploration for such wealth. Both Mexicans and Indians are indifferent to dis- coveries in this line; in fact, the latter yet make it a capital offense to show a prospector anything of the kind. A Pueblo might be induced to part with his eye-teeth; no inducement could prevail upon him to take a white man to a mine; and in the hands of these people the golden keys have been held in tight grips ever since the expulsion of the Spaniards. Hence the ignorance prevalent with respect to the mineral riches of the Territory, and the heretofore utter failure of attempts at their development. It is absurd to say that an arbitrary geograph- ical line marks a silver or a gold limit. With productive mining districts on the south, west and north, and with geological formations identically the same, the best of the scientists will be hard put to, to give a reason why New Mexico is bar- ren, and Chihuahua, Arizona and Colorado are rich beyond computation in gold, silver, copper, and galena. There are more traces and signs of ancient mining in New Mexico than in either Colorado or Arizona.
