The presence at Deming Of quite a
number of men connected with the con-
centrating works of the Deming Chi
huahua railroad indicates the early build
ing Of that line. Rumors to that effect
are also current. 1t is said there are
now men at the wheel who will steer it
through this time.
Artesian well outfits are now at work
in the Pecos vallev. and it is confden-
TALLY expected that flowing water will be
obtained at depth Of less than $50 feet.
There are thousands of acres of the most
fertile lands in the southwest which
could be utilized should artesian water be
secured at a reasonable depth in that
great valley.
With the large increase of acreage be-
ing brought into cultivation in several
different sections of New Mexico. there ia
a call for horses in the farming localities
ahead of anything known since farming
has been carried on. Everywhere the
farmers are insisting upon having better
and larger horses than formerly. This is
an encouraging sign, and one cheerful to
chronicle.
Charles Springer, of Colfax county,
thinks there are good times coming for
the New Mexico stockmen. He says
"Most Of the heavy stock growers in Kan
sas, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado have
gone out OF the business, and in course of
year or two the market is going up.
Cattle two wears from now will bring bet
ter prices than they have in half dozen
years past
Saws the two Republics of the City of
Mexico: Messrs. A. j. Morris, F. A..
Man zanares and j. F. CONWAY, three
gentlemen from the United States con-
nected with the Kansas City & Mexican
Investment company " hich will shortly
commence business in this city, went to
Pachuca last week. Though making but
brief stay, they returned convinced of
the number and richness of the mines,
the magnitude of the reduction works
and that the town is growing very rapidly
and destined to be one of the most i'm
fortant in the republic. Their visit will
probably result very favorably to Pa
chuca.
Joseph MERGED Simpson, of Trinidad, q
brother of Pedro Simpson, of Albuquer-
que, was found dead, murdered near his
home, night before last The Trinidad
Advertiser says: G. Blakely, special agent
of the United States general land Office,
who is on his way to New Mexico, ar
rived in the city Yesterday and hearing
Of MERGED Simpsons death decided to re-
main over few DAYS and assist in ferret
ing out his murderers. On the different
times when Mr.. Blakely has been here
prosecuting inquiries into the titles of
different pieces ofland, MERGED has helped
him materially, securing witnesses and
acting as interpreter. and the agent thinks
it was because of the part he took in these
matters that he was killed. He will
probably report the matter to headquar-
tiers and secure government aid bringing
to justice the persons who shot Simpson.
