The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 11: New Mexico-Philip
A territory of the United States now (Jan., 1911) awaiting only
the completion of its Constitution and the acceptance thereof by
the Federal authorities to rank as a state. It lies between
31º20' and 37º N. lat., and between 103º2' and 109º2' W. long.;
it is bounded on the north by Colorado, on the east by Oklahoma
and Texas, on the south by Texas and the Republic of Mexico, and
on the west by Arizona. It is about 370 miles from east to west,
335 from north to south, and has an area of 122,580 sq. miles,
with mountain, plateau, and valley on either side of the Rio
Grande. The average rainfall is 12 inches, usually between July
and September, so that spring and summer are dry, and
agriculture and grazing suffer. The climate is uniform, the
summers, as a rule, moderate, and, the atmosphere being dry, the
heat is not oppressive. In the north-west and north-east the
winters are long, but not severe, while in the central and
southern portions the winters are usually short and mild. In the
United States census of 1900 the population was 141,282, of
which 33 per cent was illiterate; in the census of 1910 the
population was 327,296. About one-half of the inhabitants are of
Spanish descent.
