In this Directory there are exactly 10,700 names entered.; When it is stated that never before has any Directory of the-city contained more than 8,000 entries, the truth of the statement labove is obvious. The question of the probable population of El Paso is always an interesting one locally. Opinions differ as; to just how many people call El Paso their home, but the publisher is convinced the population may be estimated within a small fraction by multiplying the total of 10,700 by 2%—a smaller multiple than is usually adopted for this pur pose in other cities. This would give 29,425 as the total number of inhabitants, the smelter being included in the total,:and all transients excluded. There may be those who hold these figures are too high, but in reply to such a criticism, the publisher insists, after having visited each house in every nook and corner "of the city, that his judg ment'is entitled to the greater weight in the premises. As a matter of interest it may be further stated that about 55 per cent of the city's population is Mexican, and that GO per cent of the people live south of Overland street. ••''•".. The showing of population is particularly gratifying when it ib'-remembered that there are about 1,700 less residents in the vicinity- "of the El Paso Smelting Works this year than- there was last, owing to the closing down of the works on account of. the fire last summer. The demand for ldbor on the E. P. & N. E. and the E. P. & S. W. rail ways has likewise diminished the city's population somewhat. Both Causes combined have caused a reduction of perhaps 2,500 in the city's population—in other words, under usual conditions the enumeration this year would have evidenced 32,000 or 33,000 inhabitants. That El Paso is rapidly growing, not alone in population, but. in commercial and industrial importance, is'well recognized. The entry into this field of two great packing houses like the Armours and the Swifts; the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., the largest house of its kind in the world; and several important machinery companies, within .tile* last few months—.these are facts which demonstrate that. El Paso's future greatness as the distributing :poinf for the entire Southwest is foreseen by enterprising and'observing business men; The steady increase in the issue of building permits, tabulated. { elsewhere in this work, evidences the growth of the city, and the de mand for houses and buildings is as keen today as it ever was. The , financial strength of the city may be gauged from the statements of the three national banks, which show resources of $3,274,588.17, and deposits of $2,740,172.00. The El Paso postofflee handles 12,200 pieces of mail matter daily, or 4,453,000 a. year; its stamp sales last year were $33,380.18, as against $28,375.35 in 1900, an increase of 18 per cent. El- Paso ranks ninth among the pojrts of entry in the United States, tne exports through this port for 1901 being valued at $4,500,- 000._ The freight moved by the railroads to'this city, for its use and that of the country surrounding, averages 85,000 tons per month, and requires 3,4)00 cars to load it. These figures attest something as to , El Paso's growth. ! ' * .. The publisher invites attention to the fact that-the present volume embraces some features new to local directory publications.
