As an historical neighborhood, this place will ever stand as a monument in the long list of disappointed ambitions. The effete east has its pre-revolution settlements, the histories of which are familiar to every American schoolboy; the middle central states of the union have their records of endurance and bravery, but the far west must be conceded the banner for indomi- table pluck and perseverance. The history of Mowry City, the head of navigation on the Mimbres, reads like a romance.
