! In sinking shaft on a mine in the
Organs last week cave was struck, which,
on being sounded, was found to have
twelve feet of water in it. There is no
doubt that the whole range is full of water,
and that it only requires development to
bring it to the surface and make it avail
able for stock and agricultural purposes.

and everything ready for work when it
was found that the well was totally in
sufficient to supply the amount of water
required. Another well 100 feet long by
twenty-five feet broad, was accordingly

somewhere near the border, and it has
been generally conceded by the highest
military and civil authorities that Fort
Selden is the most desirable location. -

The peach and apricot trees few weeks
ago were rich masses Of solid bloom in
the Mesilla valley. Now the trees are
covered with fine crop OF fruit varying
in size from the tip OF your finger to the
tip Of your thumb. The frosts week or
two ago thnned out the dense mass OF
fruit somewhat, and the winds in the past
few days have knocked down many more.
Last year the crop was so heavy that trees
were broken down, and in many instances
ruined, by the weight they bore; while
the fruit was, for this valley, small in
size. This year the crop promises to be
lighter, although as heavy as the trees
will bear, but OF a decidedly better quail
ity.
The miners employed at the Aztec
mine have struck against Il reduction OF
force or wages, which the mine managers
say they must make or close down. A
conference between the miners commit |
tee and the mine operators, not resulting
in the adjustment of the trouble, the
miners were paid off on Wednesday last |
and the mine closed. The pumps will be
kept going for the present, in the hope
that Mr.. Robinson will be able to so re-
duce the present freight rate as to open
the California market again. The miners
say that difference of only 2 cents per
ton exists between their demand and the
offered rates of the mine management

4 prominent merchant and hotel man
at Cabra Springs, states that it has been
raining hard down in that section of coun-
try for the past few days, and that the
as lar as the eye can see is beau
tifully covered with green grass. and the
outlook for plenty of fat cattle and for an
extraordinary yield OF crops was never
better than now. Cattlemen coming into
Las Vegas also report the condition Of
things in all directions fully as favorable,
and every territorial paper that comes to
this office has brought the same good
tidings. 1t can safely be expected from
these announcements that the merchant,
the farmer, the stock raiser, and in con-
justly encouraged in the hope that we. are
