A piece of country of peculiar formation is thus described in a recent letter from New Mexica:—" About 12 miles to the* east of Lampagos is a very interesting piece of country owned by an Irishman. It is a mesa or table«land, fully 2000 feet above the level of the plain. Ob the top, we are told, there is fine grazing land 75,000 acres in extent, watered by beautiful springs, and the sides of the mesa are so steep an Indian even cannot get up, except at one place where the owner has erected a large gate, so that it is virtually a fortifi. cation. The altitude of Lampagos is about 1100 ft. or 1203 ft. above the sea, bo this mtsa mnst be from 2000 ft. to 2500 ft. above the sea level."
