Hurt, L. G. Jones. Parties desiring information about Cerrillos and Santa Fe county by addressing to the above parties, will receive a prompt reply. MINERAL RESOURCES.

It is with reductance that we attempt to give a discription of the mineral resources of Santa Fe countv as it isdm- 9 possible in the short space allotted to convey an adequate idea to the reader of the immense gold, silver, copper, lead, and coal mines that lie embedded within the Cerrillos and Aztec mountains, and which are known as the Cerrillos district, covering an area of twenty square miles. We had no time to visit all the mines while in the territory but from what we have seen we are satisfied that the flat-tering reports that have gone abroad about the Cerrillos mining district in New Mexico are true in every respect and the mines that are now in operation, and the daily out put of the precious m6tal and lower grades of ore will fully substantial all that has been said and can be said about the mineral wealth of Santa Fe. Plaza and Palace avenue, on the south, and the State house property, on the north, except the Palace itself. The residence of the commanding officer is on Washington avenue, and six houses for other officers occupy most of the square between Lincoln and Grant avenues. These are generally occupied by the District staff.

18. The Military Headquarters are at the nort-west corner of the Plaza, and contain the offices of the Commanding General, the Adjutant General, Quartermaster, Commissary, Paymasters, and all the other officials of the Military District. 19 The Military Post, which is still officially called Fort Marcy, is to the north of the officers quarters, and extends to the Capitol Grounds. Here are the Quarters of the troops which form the garrison, or are temporarily stationed here, the residences of the officers the Post, etc. The regular guardmounting every morning attracts many visitors.

20. The Presbyterian Church is a tasteful brick edifice standing on a conspicuous triangle immediately west of the Military Quarter. 21. The Capitol Square and Building The square immediately north of the Military Quarter was selected many years ago for the capitol of the present Territory and future state. A large and substantial building was commenced and considerable appropriations expended upon it, the work having been begun in 1859.

When the Internal Revenue tax was inaugurated, about 1862, the congressional delegate relinquished the appropriation to complete tl building, in return for temporary exemption from that species of taxation; and so the building stood in an unfinished condition for over twenty years, until the Tertio-Millennial Directors floored and roofed it, and made it very useful for the purposes of the great historic celebration of 1883. COAL FIELDS. About twenty miles south of the city of Santa Fe are situated the Cerrillos coal fields, which at do distant day will form a great source of wealth to the county. The anthracite coal there mined already baB a reputation from Kansas City to the Pacific as the beet coal found out of Pennsylvania. They are 10,000 acres or more in area and are covered with igneous rock.

The seams of coal, so far as known, are nine in number, one above another, seperated by layers of fire clay or metamorphic elate, and vary in thickness from two to five feet. BITUMINOUS COAL BANKS. Adjacent to the above anthracite fields are the bituminous coal banks, which cover over 20,000 acres on the north bank of the Galisteo river. The seams appear to be seventeen in number, the size varying from one to six feet. The coal ranks very high for its calorific properties, and is placed fifth on a list of thirty varieties tested by the War Department.

It is 40 per cent, better than the famous Canon coal the standard of Colorado. The principal workings are near Waldo station, two miles on the A. T. S. F.

railroad south of Cerrillos. The seam mine has averaged four feet in thickness from the surface, and is increasing ns the entry advances. This mine is also worked on the level. Another seam four feet thick overlies these workings, which will in time be wrought from the same entry, thus doubling the capacity of the mine. INDUSTRIAL REFERENCE.

The raw material, and in fact all the natural requirements for successful manufacturing enterprises each as above named and others are here in superabundance, viz, a healthful climate, pure water, cheap fuel, cheap land, and all the raw materials: add to these the equable temperature which neither overheats in summer nor freezes up in winter. Expert labor and capital alone are waiting. water power.

The reservoir which supplies the city is 16,800,000 gallons capacity and from its elevation of 350 feet, water is delivered in two mains at a pressure of 182 pounds to the inch, which is ample water power for all light manufactures. This is the firt of a system of reservoirs which the city will construct as required. The supply is taken from the Santa Fe river, fed by melting snows and glaciers and pure as mountain dew.

The Academy of our Lady of Light This and the other buildings belonging to the Bisters of Loreto, are situated on the sreet leading from the east of the Plaza across the Santa Fe river. The Academy is a largo building surrounded by a cupalo, built in 1881, and of imposing appearance. This Sisters school was establishad in 1852 by Sister M.

Magdalen Hayden, who for thirty years was the superior, and under whom a whole generation was educated. About tweDty-five boarders and 300 day scholars are taught here. 9 The Sisters Chapel adjoins the Academy, and is a beautiful stone edifice, tasteful in every respect. Near the entrance will be observed a curious white marble tablet representing Our Lady of Light. This was originally in the church on the south side of the Plaza.

Immediately to the south are the buildings in which the Sisters reside. This Academy is the mother institution of the Sisters of Loreto in the territory, other educational establishments have subsequently been established by them at Taos, Mora, Las Vegas, Bernallillo, Socorro, and Las Cruces in New Mexico, and at San Elizario in Texas. 10. San Miguel College. This flourishing institution is in charge of the Christian Brothers, who have not only succeeded in erecting a noble building, but also in imparting a high degree of scholarship to their gratuates.

The college is three stories high and surrounded by a high and lofty cupalo, from which a very fine view of the city is to be had. The main building is 160x26 feet, and the wings, when finished, will make an important addition. This school has nearly 100 boarders and a large number of day scholars. The Christian Brothers, who are devoted entirely to education, were founded in 1770 and now number 13,000 members. 11.

The University of New Mexico. In the midst of the new part of the city near the depot stands a massive and conspicuous brick structure which is the home of the first Protestant College established in New Mexico. This building is called Within Hall, after the family of Mr. Within, of Massachusetts, who were liberal benefactors of the University. The corner-stone of the hull was laid October 21, 1882; Judge Prince being President, and Wm.

M. Berger Secretary of the Trustees, and Professor H. O. Ladd, President of the Faculty. 12.

The Congregational Cnuncn stands near the University, and is a neat structure of brick. 13. Church of our Lady Guadalupe. This church, dedicated to the patroness of the Mexican people, is one of the most interesting places to be visited in the city, and is made the subject of a seperate description. 14.

The Methodist Church is situated on the north side of the river on lower San Francisco street, and is a neat building of adobe; stuccoed. 15. The Rosario Chapel, or Church of our Lady of the Rosary, is Btill farther west on the outskirts of the town, and is only used for funerals or on special days throughout the year. On the second Sunday after Trinity each year, an immense procession containing sometimes nearly 2,500 persons, proceeds from the Cathedral to this church carrying an image of the Virgin Mary, which is returned after twelve days. On the right side of the body of the church is a large painting of our Lady of Guadulupe; and over the altar is a smaller picture of the Holy Family.

16. The Military Cemetery almost adjoins the Rosario Charch, and contains the graves of a large number of soldiers who have died in the service in New Mexico. 17. The Military Quarter embraces all of that part of the city between the SAN PEDRO The Future Leadville Ore Producing District of New Mexico, Is situataed about twenty miles in a southeasterly direction from Cerrillos. The main traveled road, which is mostly traversed by freighters, passes through the heart of the coal fields which are now being worked to the south of Cerrillos, and on over an elevated mountain devide, thence on through the old mining town of Golden, which has been and is now the central point of rich placer gold fields.

San Pedro, the point which is prominently coming into notice now in connection with the new strike in the Lucky mine and other carbonate veins or deposits near it, is a mining camp with about five hundred permanent population at present. The business of the camp heretofore has been mostly dependent on the continuous working of tlie great San Tedro copper mine and the produce of the companys smelter connected with it. This mine and smelter produce enough to keep 6ome hundreds of men employed in mining, smelting, freighting, producing coke or other capacities, and for sometime has been the keystone to the prosperity of Cerrillos, together with Snn Pedro and the surrounding country. To this now will be ndded a great increase in the output of the Lucky end other carbonate discoveries, as well as a much greater yield from the gold fields near, which will be more actively worked hereafter. Judging from outside surface appearances when shafts are sunk through the vein matter it will be found that the ore bearing matorial will prove to be of greater thickness and extent than any single ore body of the same character which was ever stuck in the Londville district.

This same limestone enpped phorphery formation extends over several miles of the sourrounding country, and several other openings are now being pushed in near the contact, which show that there are other veins or cavities containing just ns rich ores ns are extracted from the Lucky. (Speaking from a productive and work able standpoint, which is the only one that capitalists care to look at mining districts, your correspondent is now prepared to say that nowhere in the Rocky mountains is there any other locaiity that combines such a variety of mineral wealth in quality or quantity or whioh offers such facilities for cheap production which by intelligent work and investments will yield as great profits as the section of country within a radius of thirty miles around Cerrillos and San Pedro. 1 4 i i 'i V.t.
