THE FRESH WATER BOOM.
Full Details of the Artesian Water Find
Further Tests to be Made.

Through the courtesy of Editor Sturees
OF the Springer Stockman, the New MEx-
IcAN is enabled to present still further
information to-day regarding the first
find of artesian water IN New Mexico.
The following is from proof-slip of the
Stockman's report struck off specially for
the New MEXICAN:
John G. Taylor is the first successful
artesian well borer in northern New
Mexico. On Saturday evening last his
drill went through the bottom of the
rocky stratas, and water came to the
surface. The drill was brought up and
a grand flow Of water followed, estimated
by l.. S. Preston, civil gengineer, at 22O
gallons minute. The flow fills two
foot ifrigating ditch six or seven inches
in depth.
The mineral properties of the water
have not been definitely ascertained, but
those somewhat familiar with mineral
waters say they detect soda, salt, sulphur
and perhaps iron in this water. But that
it is artesian water, soft, good tasting and
plenty of it, is good enough.
The water was found at depth of
250 feet from the surface. The first
twenty feet was through alluvial soil, then
200 feet OF shale and limestone, then
thirty feet of sandstone Immediately over
the water.
The we'll had only to be cased through
the first twenty feet OF soil; from there
on the rock forms perfect casing. Sew
eral lengths of casing were put on above
ground, to test the pressure, and the
water flowed out of the top Of the pipe
the same as it had at the surface of the
ground.
The location of this artesian we'll is six
miles south Of Springer on land recently
purchased of the Springer Land associa-
tion by j. S. and j. G. Taylor, and ad-
joining the old Rock ranch owned by the
Taylors at the junction of the Cimarron
and Red rivers. 1t is at about 100 less
feet altitude than Springer, so that if the
rock which covers this subterranean basin
lies flat or horizontal, this town is only
800 feet or so above the wealth of water.
There are several drilled wells in town,
the one at the court house being 14O feet
deep. Could our county commissioners
do better act than to appropriate $500
for putting this well down 200 or 250 feet
further? 1t is a matter that every tax
payer is interested in.
Mr.. Taylor has set up his drilling ma
chlnery near his residence, about one
mile from the we'll just completed, and
will make another practical test. When
this one is completed we will have a fair
idea of how the rock lies.

THE new MINERAL SPRINGS,
Waters Sampled by COnnisseurs-A New
Mountain Attraction for Santa Feans.

Another invoice of that natural seltzer
water was brought in from the foot hills
yesterday, by the discoverer of the
springs, Mr.. Mckinney. A dimijohn
containing five gallons was turned over to
Mr.. Creamer and thorough test of its
properties is to be made by Brother Amian
anal lytical chemist at st. Michael's col
lege. A number of citizens, among them
Mr.. Staab, Hon. E. A. Fiske, Judge Ak
tell, Mr.. Preston, Col. Frost and Mr..
Schumann, connisseurs in mineral
waters, sampled the new find at Mr.. Crea-
mer's store yesterday and all pronounced
it the equal ofimported seltzer. One said
it was, in his opinion, much like the
celebrated Soda springs of Colorado

THE SENATE.
Morgan introduced bill to fix limit
OF value, and provide for the free coinage
OF silver referred to the committee on
finance. 1t recites that the market value
OF silver, bullion is rapidly approaching
the value of gold on the stardard of re-
ation fixed by the laws OF the United
States, that there is no provision of law
for the coinage of standard silver dollars
or the purchase of'silver bullion by the
government when the value of silver
bullion exceeds 81 for 371l4 grains pure
silver. 1t therefore provides that the
mint of value in the United States
States shall be a dollar of 4l2ls
grains standard silver or 25 $40
grains OF gold. That these coins shall
be legal tender for all debts public and
private, that any owner of silver or gold
bullion may deposit at any mint to be
formed into dollars or bars for his benefit
without charge. lie called the special
attention of the finance committee to the
bill which he said was the same as had
already received a majority of Il in the
senate. He had introduced it because he
was convinced that in the rapid advance
OF the price of silver bullion in the mark.
cts OF the world the time was not far dis
tant, to say the least, when silver and
gold bullion would be on par with each
other. When that time did arrive the
law as it now stood would not
permit the government to buy silver bull
lion If there was any show of appreciation |
in its price beyond the price of gold, and
there was no provision of the law for the
coinage OF any silver except that purchased
before silver reached that point. In view
Of what appeared to be in the air as we'll

future of the country, he
thought it would be well enough to make
provisions so that silver or gold bullion
would not be withdrawn from the United
states by other interested governments

THE GREAT WEST AND SOUTH.
The west and south according to these
estimates are close together in population,
the first having $500, 900 and the second
22,JUO, 900, and the ratio of increase since
1880 is nearly the same in each case.
New England has gained only about one
eighth, the middle states little more than
one-fiith, tho western 8 ates more than
two-h1lhs, and the southern states about
one-third. In 1880 there were in the
southern states 6,ll3,054 negroes, and j.:
their number has increased at the ratio
of the last decade, it is now S,232 ,449, or
nearly twO-tiths ofthe whole.
Together the south and west have
population greater than that of New
England and the middle states by "a, ,UOO,-
OOO, and equal to more than twu-thirds, |
or ~ per cent, OF the whole population
OF the Union. The great gain of Repub-
hcans IN congress and in electoral votes
for president will be at the west and
south.

shall know the exact number OF the pop
