Grant County’s Mineral Production for 1890.
The Gauntlet Thrown Down!
Grant County in the Lead of the United States
Proportionately to the Capital Invested!
Ensconced in the southwest corner of the
territory of New Mexico lies the county of
Grant. Blessed with the most equable tempera-
ture and healthful climate on the globe, the
most fertile of valleys, producing in abundance
all of the semi-tropical fruits, besides the
hardier varieties of the farther north, and fur-
nishing sustenance for a larger number of cattle
than any of the counties of Colorado by fifty
per cent. Yet, in addition to these advantages,
it comes to the front as the largest gold and
silver producing county in the United States,
proportionate to the amount of capital employed
in the mines and reduction works in the county.
Thomas Lyons desires the Enterprise to
inform the public that he has recently imported
two dozen of the “Bob-White” variety of quail,
and has turned them loose on the Gila. Hunters
will please refrain from killing them until they
have had an opportunity to multiply.
