doubt of the fact Jhat Mexico is one
of the most inviting lands on the

struggling to improve tbeir condi-
tion. Germany through its govern-
ment is reported to be engaged in
a negotiation for the purchase of a
large area of land. From Italy

to the City of Mexico. When the
Mexican Central is finished next
year it will be the completion of
the great epic poem of the nine-
teenth century, written in two steel
lines on the broad face of a conti-
nent. —1
Great activity is being displayed
in regard to the Topolovampo rail-
road enterprise. Within a short
time ex-Senator Windom, Colonel
A. K. Owens and other gentlemen
will be in El Paso, en route to To-
polovampo. Construction begins
early next month, and Coionel
Owens will soon be on the ground.
Mr. Gaetano Rovatti, of Rome,
who is probably in the city of Mexi-
co at this time in consultation with
the executive of the republic and
with the directors of the Topolo-
vampo railroad, is an agent-of Ital-
ian colonization. He was in New
York a short time since, and is ar-
ranging for the settlement of an
Italian colony on the Gulf of Cali-
fornia.
The Mexican Central has put
quite a large force of colored labor-
ers at work. This is-a good thing—
for the laborers. Northern Mexico
is an excellent place for such emi
r grants. There is no prejudi"
against them and they will more
than, fill the places-into which the
Chinese are seeking £o filter.
There is room for 50,000 industrious
colored people in this great South-

But thsee are * but special
enterprises, and the move-
ment undertaken by the
government is designed to embrace
the whole republie. It enlists the
diplomatic and consular service of
Mexico n its service, both on this
continent and in Europe. Of course
the chief purpose is to draw from
Europe, especially from the south-
ern countries thereof.
We undersrand that the first
effort will be in the northern states
of Mexico. Senor Don Leon, the
well known representative of north-
ern Chihuahua, has been entrusted
by the national government with
the preparation of an elaborate re-
port on the subject. This task he
is now engaged in performing. The
Times anticipates an early oppor-
tunity of ^presenting, to its readers
and the American public generally,
fuller details of the plan than can
be given out. The gov-
of Mexico has
however, decided to extend liberal
aid to emigration by colonies,
deeming it wisest that foreigners
settling in that republic should be
located together in bodies* large
enough to give some social cohe-
rency and industrial force. To
that eod it will pay the transporta-
tion of all such settlers to the point
of settlement. It will furnish land
in suitable quantities both for graz-
ing and farming purposes. It has
in several instances purchased from
private owners entire hacienda^, in
order to have proper locations for
colonies that were ready to settle.
It will loan a small sum of money
per month, about $10 as a rule, and
sell on time, a plow,.wagon, and
other necessary tools, with a tent to
live in, until a house is built. The
average amount of pastoral land
that will be assigned is one
hectare, or 10,000 .square
metres, that is, about 2,471 Ameri-
can acres. The colonist will be re-
quired to repay what the govern-
ment, with the exception of the
transportation and land, which is
to be a free gift t9 the settler. Re-
payments for any other advance is
to be made afier two years. Ten
years will be allowed for the repay-
ment of loans, &c., and of some
small|charges on the land to cover
survey, &C. If the settler is unfor-
tunate and does not repay, all obli-
gation is cancelled by a return of
the land.
This plan is certainly sufficiently
liberal—to the intending settler.
To the government, however, it
might be burdensome, but for the
care that will be taken and the
necessary elowness of the first few
years. This movement cannot but
be of great advantage of El Paso,
as much of. the land travel must
pass this way. The goverment
have wisely determined to push
settlement first along or near to
the lines of railroad now in process
of construction.

General Crook's movements, be-
tween the two republics of the Uni-
ted States and Mexico. Where, as
in this case, it is unquestioned that
titero Unot only no offence intend-
ed, but a great good desired and
aimed at, there can be no basis for
a quarrel or even for sharp words.
▲II the talk at present is mere di-
plomatic buncombe, designed to
indicate that such action as Crook's

dent. General Crock's purpose is

When it is positively known that
one year ago the band numbered
over, seven hundred, it is easy to
account for the prevalence of Chiri-
cahua Indians in Sonora." With
all due regard to the presumably
superior-sources of information
possessed by our Silver City friend,
we doubt very much if the 'Chirica-
hua clan of Apaches has ever num-
bered 700, since the United States
has held possession of this region.

To begin with there are thirty
well established and rotable min-
ing camps in this county. This
number does not include the who.e
of the mining territory, because
new camps are being discovered ev-
ery once in awhile and we are una-
ble to keep pac% with the onward
istrides in that _ direction. The
names of the mining camps and
distances from Silver Ctty-tne coun-
ty seat—are as fo.lows : Chioride
Fiat two miles west, Silver Flat
one mile south-west, Lone Moun-
tain six miles east, Piuos Alios
seven miles north, Fleming seven
miles nortu-west, Central City e ght
miles east, San Jose twelve miles
ea«-t, Hanover twelve miies north-
east, Santa Rita eighteen miles
east, Georgetown twenty-five miles
north east, Shingle Canon thirty
miles north-east-, Kingston furtj-
iive miles north-eaat, Cook Peak
foity miles eaet, Slate creek thirty
five miles west, Telegraph thirty
miles west, Steeple Rock seventy
miles west, Victoria fifty
miles south, Paschal thirteeu
miles souih, Oak Giove
10 miles southwest, Pyamid 45
miles Boutiinest, Tres Mermanos
70 miles southeast, Eureka 7(J miles
south, CariziLille Springs, 75 mites
south, Shakspeare 45 miles south,
Cow Springs, 20 miies south, Cop-
per Flat 8 miles northeast, Florida
Mountains 55 miles southwest, Wal-
nut Parkl3 miles west,Golden Nee
die 30 miles west of Silver City, and
Silver City district, surrounding
the town itself. The princi|>aj
places of importance in the couniy
aside from mining interests are:
Hudson's Hot Springs, 25 miles
west of the city, which is noted as a
great health resort. . The water
oils out from the springs in large
volumes, and so hot that an egg
may be cooked in a lew minutes
The properties of the water are very
curative, especially in cases of
rheumatism of long standing, and
other chronic complaints. The
Membres valley, about three miies
westward from the Hot Springs, is
a splendid farming country, and
crops of all kinds of grain and veg
etables can be raised. It is toleia
bly thickly settled for a distance
o£. about 45 miles along
the course of the valley
Several little towns dot this en-
chanting valley, and meandering
through it is a beautiful, clear
stream of water known as the Mim-
bres river, which furnishes suffi-
cient water for irrigation. Tbere
are thousands of acres yet in this
valley that have never been culti-
vated", and may be settled uponPoi
purchased at small figures.
The most important stream in
the county is the Gila. It is a
mountain stream about 800 miles
long, and empties into the Colorado
river at Fort Yuma. It is a noble
stream, and runs through a very
rich valley. There is plenty or
room along this valley yet for hun-
dreds of farmers The current is
very rapid, and passes through
some very deep and narrow
canons and stupendous chasms,
Towards the head waters,
mountain trout may be found in
abundance, and game of all kinds
come to this stream to slake their
thirst. The valley as yet is not
very thickly settled, but is now at-
tracting a great deal of attention.
There are many other smal 1 streams
and rivulets inthe county and a large
number of good springs are scatter-
ed here and there. Stock raising
is growing in importance, as cattle,
sheep ana horses do well the year
around on the nutritious grass.
The winters are mild, and the sum-
mers are not very hot. The nights
are generally cool. The general to-
pography of the country is made
up of mountains, plains and foot-
hills. Roads are all good, timber
plentiful, and a good country for
the man who has the energy and
capacity to get up and be doing.
Deming is a thriving and prosper-
ous town, located at the junction of
the S. C. D. & P., S. P. and A. T. &
S. F^ railroads. Thus giving it a
junction of three roads. It is ex-
clusively a railroad town. Lords-
burg, forty miles westward from
Deming, is a growing point also.
It is situated at the junction of the
Southern Pacific and Lordsburg &
Clifton railroads. It is the best
built town in the territory, and the
last few years has b^en growing
with wonderful rapidity. The rail-
road tost having been completed
into the heart of the city, and the
unprecedented mining discoveries
recently made, has given the town
and eountry quite a send-off.—
