Beautifully situated on the A T & S F Ry and in the heart of the celebrated
Mesilla Valley 40 miles northwest of El Paso Tex. The New Mexico College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts is 2 1/2 miles south of the city. The United
States land office and the Third Judicial District Court of the United States
are located here. Since the commencement of work on the Elephant Butte dam for
which the U S government is spending a sum of $10,000,000 the population has
increased rapidly and new industries have been started indicating full
confidence in the future of the town by those who are looking for safe and sound
investments. The Mesilla Valley is noted the world over for the fine quality of
its fruits and farm products the exceeding mildness of its summer and winter
climate and the natural beauty of the valley and surrounding mountains which
contain many undeveloped mineral resources. In Las Cruces there is an efficient
fire department, modern water and sewer systems, an electric light and ice
plants and two private and three public schools, affording splendid educational
opportunities. Episcopal, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational and
Baptist churches are sustained. It contains three banks, seven hotels, two
theatres, a bottling works, produce exchange and numerous up-to-date business
