New Mexico Lands Held In Big Tracts
Special Correspondent William E. Curtis surveys vast land holdings in New Mexico and neighboring Chihuahua. He notes large grants like Mora and Maxwell, Spanish origins, and the impact on settlement. He details Don Luis Terrazas's enormous Mexican estate, its cattle, sheep, and infrastructure, plus other major ranches such as Bell ranch and Victoria Land and Cattle Company holdings, their water access, leases, and legal ambiguities. The piece contrasts land concentration with government forest acquisitions and ongoing irrigation projects.
