could be had, the placers of this region would be among the 
leading placers of the west. 
This region with its building stone, with its gypsum for 
fertilizing, with its forests, with its medicinal springs, with its 
gold and silver veins and coal fields, and with its fertile soil 
and unequaled climate, is one of the best regions of New Mex- 
ico ; and under proper handling will become one of the wealth 
producing regions of the country.
