Description:
Raton, which is almost exactly midway between Chicago and Los Angeles, is an important center of the cattle industry and is located on the line of inexhaustable coal deposits which extend unbroken through this region for 250 miles. Raton is the site of extensive railroad machine shops and the headquarters of the Maxwell Land Grant Co. What is seen of Northern New Mexico belongs to this great land grant. For 60 miles the train runs through it, from Starkville, Colorado, to Springer, New Mexico. The original grant consisted of 1,714,765 acres and embraces mines of coal, of gold, silver and iron, fire clay and cement, and forests of timber-a little empire in itself. Raton lies at an altitude of 6637 feet.
