It has been estimated tliat tlie 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 Eastern 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 'Nqw 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 differ- 

 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 j also, that 

 satisfaction in damages may be recovered by parties injured by such 

 fires.
