Work will be commenced in sinking
the new artesan we'll in the plaza on or
before the lst of July. The we'll will be
sunk 500 feet by the citizens, if the depth
is necessary to strike flowing water, but
if it has to be bored deeper the town COM
pany will probably take hold of the work.
The general impression of experts is that
flowing water will be reached at from $50
to 300 feet.-Eddy Argus.
Reports as to the condition of the range
from all parts OF the territory are of the
most encouraging nature. Plenty of rain
has fallen all over the country, grass is
already as good as it can be, while the
ground is thoroughly wet and has absorbed
enough moisture to insure good season
for several months to come. The indica-
tons now are that cattle will get very fat
this year, and New Mexico will be able to
send better beef to market this year than
Tor many years past. Grass all over the
territory is better than it has been for
five years. No part of the range is now
overstocked, consequently live stock of
all kinds are taking on flesh rapidly.
