It has been estimated that the amount of native lumber used in the 
Territory in the year 1886 was 5,000,000 feet. About 1,000,000 feet 
were imported from Arizona, and used for all purposes, including fin- 
ishing. Of high grade Hastern and California lumber, about 50,000 feet 
of each kind were consumed during that year. Some 200,000 feet of 
different grades were brought into southern New Mexico from northern 
Texas during the period named. The consumption of lumber for that 
year was comparatively light. 
' Farming and fruit-growing are carried on quite extensively in difter- 
ent parts of the Territory generally with the aid of irrigation. Most of 
the ditches, however, are small. In some of the mountain districts crops 
are grown without the aid of irrigation. 
The Territorial law provides for the punishment of persons who shall 
willfully or maliciously set on fire any woods, marshes, prairies, or other 
grounds not their own, or who shall intentionally or by neglect permit 
the spread of fire from their own grounds to those of another ; also, that | 
satisfaction in damages may be recovered by parties injured by such 
fires. ; 
New Mexico is subdivided into fourteen counties, the relative situa- 
tion of which, upon the map, is about as follows:

j Bernalillo. Santa V6. Mora. 
Valencia. San Miguel.
