Hughes Bros, stockmen whose range is
in the San Andreas and headquarters iu
Eddy, together with Seaborn L. Gray, of
the Salado coal district, have been pros
pecting on group OF claims for some
time, Recently on one of these claims
they aunk shaft to the depth of 100 1t.
Since striking the pay streak they have
taken out and shipped test mill run of
20 tons Of ore.
Mr.. Gray brought to the EAGLE Office
fine sample of the ore with the returns
on the thirty tons as follows one-half
ounce god, ten ounces silver, and thirty
per cent copper per ton. The pay streak
is % inches in width with both walls we'll
defined and the vein widening as depth
is attained. This claim is one Of group
on the eastern slope Of the mountains,
most naturally tributary to line of rail
way between El Paso and White Oaks,
but also within about % miles Of the
Santa Fe road. The parties have mill
site and water rights in close proximity
and are ON the market to place an inter
est in their group in exchange for

WATER PROBLEM SOLVED,

The Old Abe company have been driv.
ing for sufficient supply of water tc
answer all purposes for large mill and
increased mining facilities.
Their efforts have been amply re.
warded. A shaft was sunk ninety feet
and drilling with six inch drill was
continued for an additional 100 feet
Steam pumps were then placed with a
three and one-half inch pipe reaching
the bottom OF the WELL and for several
days the pump has been working inces
sanity on the well, with the result
determining that the flow OF water
which increases as the standing body
of water is gradually lowered, amounts
to about 1860 barre Is per day. This is
the deepest we'll ever sunk at White
Oaks and demonstrates fully that the
opinions Of the company and the com.
munity in general that an immense
uuderflow OF water passes through this
district is correct. Wells of half the
depth of the Old Abe well and less, have
furnished ample supply for domestic
purposes but the question of sufficient
supply for large mining operations has
now been agreeably solved.
The EAGLE predicts that the same
result will be obtained in the Jicarrilla
gold district and ample supply of water
will yet be developed there when suf
ticient capital and such enterprise as
manifested by the Old Abe company is
directed to the water supply question.

RAILROADS

The outlook for railroad building in

never SO bright as at present. Mr.. Nor
man G. Raft, secretary of the Denver Ell
Paso Independent, announces that let
ter received from Mr.. Jefferson Reynolds
now in the East in the interests of that
road, states, positively, that the bonds of
the road will be taken and the money
paid over on delivery, which will be

the line have been visited and requisite
subscriptions have been made by the
people along the line. Denver and some
other points are more anxious than ever
for the road. Messrs. Reynolds and
Raft will visit White Oaks and Ell Paso
early in October.

the English practice camp of Aldershot, was
recently struck at distance of 1900 yards,
or one and half miles. The bullet, after
passing completely through the upper part
of the thigh, buried itself in the ground.
Theoretically it was evident that the pene-
trative energy of these new bullets ought TO
be capable of passing through several men
in succession. and experiments with the
cadaver as target show this conclusion
sound. Now, as the trajectory OF the pro-
jectiles is very low one. the space within
which men will be subjected to such dan
gers in the field has been greatly extended
1t is thought that fire may be opened from
a distance Of 2200 yards. 1t was found on
trial that good maTksmen can make 90 per
cent Of hits against targets of suitable d.
mensions at 1900 yards. With smokeless
powder and the consequent facility OF dis
tinguishing clearly at long distances, the
aim may become more accurate than has
heretofore been known.
