The Santa Fe} NEw MEXICAN says that
New Mexico is n the eve Of a grand
boom. We hopb that this is true. New
Mexico has not had much of q boom since
1882. During 1881 and 1882 there was a
large emigrationI to New Mexico, and the
territory was ia h fourishing condition.
But stagnation followed, and since the
boom died but little has been done in q
business way. Its turn is coming soon,
We hope. The liext boom will lift the
territory 30 far forward in wealth and
population that congress will then be
able to find no excuse for refusing to let
the people erect Q state government
Denver Republican.
We hope go, d nd We expect so. And
the excellent led islstion passed during the
session just CID sed will help greatly in
that direction.

THIS thing is all over now, gentlemen

THIS thing is all over now, gentlemen
Of the press. Hon. E. B. Franks, Demo
cratic member Of the council from Colfax
and Mora, was the gentleman for whom
the libel law was passed and who wanted
it much more than any other member Of
that body. We have the proof for that
and can furnish il at any time and when
desired. As far as we were concerned, it
was immaterial who was behind it. But
Of late We have come onto the facts, and
the facts are that Mr.. Franks wanted
such a law and wanted it badly, and
made trades all around to secure it.

GAS AND WATER.
Alamosa Finds the Natural Articles in
Great Abundance.

ALAMoSA, Feb. 26.-AnOther and larger
flow OF natural gas been met with near
Alamosa and it proves conclusively that
extensive reservoirs Of gas and oilare en-
bedded in the strata underlying this por-
ton of the San Luis valley.
Naturally new impetus is thus given
to the town and a renewed bouyancy and
stronger feeling of confidence prevails
on all sides.
This strong flow OF gas was encountered
on the ranch of Thomas Ashley, twenty
five miles north of Alamosa on Friday
last. An arteslan well was being put
down by Messrs. Smith and Lindquist,
the popular firm of borers, and when a
depth of 435 feet was reached strong
discharge Of gas under high pressure was
met with. In removing the boring tools
they became clogged, and for a few
| moments were held fast near the surface,
but as they were loosened they were
thrown several feet in the air by the force
OF the pent up gas.
Magnus Lindquist, one OF the well con-
tractors, came to Alamosa yesterday for
supplies and brought the first intelligence
of this new discovery. lie states that
the pressure is so great that pieces Of
soapstone as large as walnut are forced
up and thrown high in the air. The es-
Gaping gas sizzles and seethes and makes
a roaring noise as it rushes forth from the
opening of the iron casing. 1t burns with
bright fame as its forked tongues reach
twenty to thirty feet toward Heaven.
After passing through the top soil beds
OF sand and clay were met with for q
depth of about 400 feet, then layer of
soapstone was entered. 1t was in this
soft rock that the gas was enveloped and
held within bounds.
This well, which is big with promise for
the industrial development OF this valley,
is on leased state land. 1t is within a
few hundred feet OF the line recently sur
veyed by the Rio Grande railroad for the
branch soon to be constructed between
Villa Grove and Alamosa.
At night the pyrotechnic illumination
can be seen for dozen miles, and by Il G
denizens OF the surrounding country is
considered marvellous wonder This is
the second gas well that has been found
in this vicinity, and it affords convinc'
ing proof that it is not confined to small
isolated area. Great and brilliant antici
patons are looked forward to from the
natural gas factor in the industrial anC
economic development of Alamosa.

trict comprising the counties OF Dona

ney at Silver City, and his appointment

fore the attorney for the counties Of ColfaS

Citizen.
Incorrect. Col. Frank Chavez, SEN
ator Pedro Perea and Hon. NJ. S.
Otero were the ones who did
the work for Albuquerque. Councilman
Rodey had less influence in shaping the
matters than page. In fact he acted
like 16 year old boy with the big head
all throughout the session. All he could
do was to get up, draWl out "Mr. Presi-
dent, l rise to u point of order" or in
troduce bills to help some member OF the
bar who had mismanaged n case and
wanted legislative help or measure to
help the members Of the bar as body.
He could not understand why, when any
measure benefited any one but lawyer
or member of the bar, it should 60
through. The people of New Mexico and
their interests were of no consequence, as
far as Mr. Rodey was concerned. He
kicked out of the traces about any and
every thing that he could not understand,
and the trouble was that he could not
understand most things. His selection
was very unfortunate one for Albuquer-
que, and had it not been for Nlessrs. M.
