One peculiar feature about yesterdays
rainfall was its extent. Parties who noted
the areas where the rain fell state that it
appeared to rain in twenty-mile strips be-
tween here and the Ration mountains, not
touching Wagon Mound or Watrous, but
raining here, at Ration and just outside
Springer. 1t certainly was very beneficial
to this community and vicinity and every
one is refreshed.-Optic.
Twenty-Five tons of silver ore in sacks
we're hauled to town from the Good Luck
mine near Lone mountain, Saturday.
The ore belongs to John Brockman and
William Beall, who also own the mine.
They are going to ship several car loads
away for treatment. The ore runs from
$500 to $500 per ton. The Good Luck is
veritable bonanza. The ore is all free
milling quartz, and the owners have
plenty Of it.-Silver City Sentinel.
J. W. Braddock came to the Lower
Penasco year ago last winter. The fol-
lowing spring he broke his land and put
in crops and in the fall he sold 81 100 of
produce. And yet he was a farmer who
did not understand irrigation. What he
did last year can be done in the Pecos
valley by any farmer of energy and intel
lgence. In this connection it may be
we'll to say that Mr.. Braddock raised all
his 81 100 worth of produce on less than
fifty acres.
Pecos note: The leaks Of the dam
have at last been entirely closed. In
few days the scourgate will be closed,
when the water will rapidly rise in the
reservoir and flow into the main canal.
Of course it will have to be let in slowly
and little at time. 1t has been esti-
mated that it will take forty-fve days for
the water to reach the canal bridge west
of town. The town will get its supply of
water from the great canal the small
ditch being connected with it a short dis
tance below the dam.
