ersed By scores Of boais. some Of which
are very tasteful: aud the main avenue

bridges. The effect Of the shade trees
rising from the waters n very beauti
ful. while In the evening the gondolas
in the moonlight filed with the young
men and maidens Of the town. add
greatly TO the charm Of the scene.
Speaking OF the storm which passed
through the territory east Of the range
ON saturday the l4th instant the Santa
Re New Mexican Review remarks that
II was remarkable for It's extent and
fury. Snow fell to the depth OF several
inches At Leadville; at Denver IL rain
ed. and from those points on the north
to points some miles below Chihuahua
and from central Texas TO the Pacific
the whole country received n six hours
soaking. The Rio Grande. which had
begun TO recede and give the people in
the valley some hope. went up with n
boom. OF course. and all the streams in
the territory named were swollen to an
extent which indicated no such storm
before In years.
/. n. Gray entered complaint, the
first OF the week against Rafael Tafoya
for running his sheep up in the Black
range and he was ordered by the court
to remove them under penalty Of pros
ecution. These herds not only deYas-
tate the country of grass. but they be-
foul the water of the streams 10 the
serious Inconvenience of prospectors
and others who are called upon to re-
side In the mountains. Isaac is deter
mined that the country shall not be
devastated and laid waste by the class
of people who benefit us none. and
since nobody else will assume the re.
spOnsihility, he AS usual takes IL upon
himself to rOut them. He will do il
too.
The proposition TO patent the town.
site of Ilillsborough stirred up n
hornets nest. A person named J. M.
Young, from Missouri, made a break
to secure the job but N. GALES knock.
ed INN out In one round by Offering to
furnish the money and do all the BUSH
ness of entering 240 acres for $3.50.
This was accepted at first but later
somebody conceived the idea that Nick
would make a dollar aud the arrange
ment was overturned. If a fierce and
bloody war is desired, the patenting Of
4 townsite will furnish it. The only
peaceahle way Is for the probate judge
TO take hold of the business and carry
it through himself.
Thos. Scales has applied for patent
on his rapid pumps and considers that
he has got sufficiently well along in
this direction to prevent arrangements,
and he expects oon To begin manu-
featuring and putting them in oper-
alton. lie claims to be able to raise by
his method two thousand gallons of
water per hour, or sufficient water in
two hours to water two thousand head
of cattle. The force necessary to ac-
complish this is one horse power
and this power assisted by the ma
chinery that one horse exerts the
strength possessed by a 4O-horse power
engine. Scales says that it Is the
simplest thing Imaginable but he ia
contTSnt that it will do the work ex-
pected Of it. If 1t does it will reclaim
thousands OF acres now useless land and
make a large fortune for It's inventor.
The Rocky Mountain Mining Re-
view in noticing the mining outlook to
New Mexico IN general speaks in par.
|, tlcular of the Black range country
: "The Black range has labored under
the lack of capital and cheaper means
of transportation. Socorro county has
until recently been kept back by Il fear
that its ore was of a too low a grade,
Grant has had too much money and toe
flush times for tue amount Of its pro
ducts. All of these sections have good
mines and large numbers of properties
which will recover from the draw
backs and h%indrances we have men
toned. What is needed is that the
, people should with one accord exert
, themselves to bring about a better
state of things. If this is done the
prosperity that is SURF to come som,
/. time will be there the sooner"
