Of Editor Desert Netrs:
at The publication Of the following
n, will, We believe, be Of some benefit
c II those Of your readers who con-
template making homes in Mexico.
as For some time past Elder George
ie NJ. Brown has beea engaged in
y working out a plan to purchase Of
n Mr.. Louis Huller Of the city Of
Mexico large tract Of Land fi.uated
u near this place. This tract being
Il too large for one man Of ordinary
e means to handle, and some Of our
d people being already settled ON one |
y corner Of the land, also finding
themselves without a title, an ar
b rangement was made by which the
: whole tract could be purchased and
n good title obtained covering all
i claims within it. The assistance of
Elder A. +. Mcdonald, Of Colonia
Juarez, in the matter, was secured
and an arrangement has lately been
perfected for the establi, hment of
colony.
A survey Of canal and reservoirs
has been made, showing that the
latter can be filled from the river
and the water drawn oil on to the
lands and townsite.
There Is plenty of water In the
river running to waste during eight
or nine months Of the year. THIS
We propose 10 utilize by filling the
reservoirs and for such irrigation as
may be needed during that time,
then drawing Off from the reservoirs \
10 serve ut low water time. We 4
are satisfied That that will be sufii- b
Client In addition 10 the above, )
there is, at a depth of twelve to '
fourteen feet under ground, an in- a
exhau,tible supply Of pure water, p
| which, If needed, can he easily
pumped up by machinery. The ,
canal and reservoirs can be put in a,
operation at very reasonable ex-
pense. n
This tract Of land consists Of about n
5000 acres and is situated on the tc
east side Of the river, opposite the j
town cf Cas-s Grandes. lt-xtends
several miles north and suuth, also q;
eastward, where it terminates in
rolling bills covered with the best of
grasses, while at the south end there
is considerable oak aud other hard
wood nt for fuel. The plain COP ~
tains about 10000 acres, all good M
farm and garden lsnds, the soil be- r.
ing rich sandy loan in which all ~
kinds Of grain, fruits and plants CT 81
the temperate zone thrive hixuri y
antly. Close up to H. large de- ma
70 the eastwn"si Inc earth, which ap- ,nt
ear to have anciently been used as %,
and which VIC now In ~
tsud to utilize for that purpose. The an
remains of an ancient canal are yet "
visible leading from the Casas
Grapdes River to the reservoirs.
The prices of the lands are as fo.-
low, the purchasers going to the ,.b
expense OF procuring
water: Farm lands which come Oh
under the reservoirs, as cents an re-
acre; other lands, from 40 to so cents w
an acre; town lots, from $3.50 to $40 arr
each, about one and onefourth acres. Pr
A this is n settlement destined for n
the Saints, all persons are required on

a proper recommend from the Ward lie
in which they have resided, or in tel
which they may reside when the n
application Is made.
