in the conglomerate and limestone rock
that underlies the whole valley. Under
this again is bed of gravel and boulders
imbedded in a sand and lime stone NOR
tar. In this at contact with the lime
stone the springs are found. These strata
generally dip toward the river and their
up-turned angles offer good opportuni-
ties for conducting subterranean water to
the river.
Take Black river, large tributary to
the Pecos, which flows from the southern
end of Guadalupe range. 1t is nothing
but n storm channel; but four large
springs discharge into it. Blue spring,
the lowest, has discharge of seventeen
cubic feet per second. The other three
aggregate over fifteen feet. This water
and the further large amount of what
seeps in unnoticed is nothing but the
drainage of the Guadalures re-appearing.
Near Roswell again are four large
springs, that form the North and South
Spring rivers. These burst up on the
open prairie and pour their waters into
the Hondo just above the proposed dam
site. The North Spring river has
measured volume of 1O5 cubic feet per
second. 1t ia the same with tho North
and South Berendas.
Besides these springs named there are
hundreds of others. Within three miles
of Eddy there is one that runs 10000, 900
gallons of water daily. Large bodies of
still water are also found; deep, almost

the perennial flow of spring water in the
Pecos at Eddy is 1000 cubic feet per
second; or sufficient, according to the
duty of water estimated at Greeley, Colo,
to irrigate 100000 acres of land. The
local ratio is, however, much higher, and
would range over 100000 acres.
The examination made by the U. s.
agricultural department, the report of
which is above quoted, was conducted
by Col. Edwin 8. Nettleton, under Col.
Richard J. Hinton, special agent. Liber-
ty is taken to use much of the matter
gathered therein.
THE MOUNTAINS FURNISH WATER.
The ranges in which the principal
tributary streams rise are timber covered
except the Guadalupe range. Below the
Santa Fe range the Sierra Blanca range
rises above timber line, and is covered
with snow from November until June.
The Captain and Sacramento ranges are
about 5000 feet, and the Guadalupe 1000

ranges sink soon after entering the val

river flowing, through valley lying be-
tween these mountains and the San An
dreas range. At present there is now no
running water in this valley, but good
deal flows into it and arises in springs.
II also supplies the Lanoria mesa near
Ell Paso with its water. On the Pecos
side the water reappears at various points,

SOURCES OF SUPPLY.

SOURCES OF SUPPLY.
A popularity of the Pecos will be some
what understood by a brief review of it's
sources of supply. Besides carrying off
the surface drainage of its immense basin,
it is spring fed river. Its subterranean
waters are an extremely important factor
in the economy of the irrigation of the
Pecos valley. Only few of its numer-
ous tributaries carry water in sight into its
channel. Among the most important are
the Rio Hondo, Spring, Penasco and Black
rivers. At the foot of the dam six miles
above Eddy, the river bed is dry. Within
fifty yards however, large springs burst
out on the banks and within the river
bed and within a space of 200 yards the
river is running wide, good stream of
water. At Eddy, six miles down, the U.
8. agricultural department caused this
spring water to be measured. There was
no water passing the dam. Yet the flow
measured over 800 cubic feet of water
per second that had come into the river
below the dam from springs in the bot
u tom and along its Sides" see page IA, par

Prof. Robert T. Hill, late state geolo-
gist of Texas, when employed by the U.
s. agricultural department to make an
examination of the Pecos valley, prefaced
his report with the expression, "It is as
different from New England as Japan.
1t is therefore proper that the readers OF
these papers should be given some con-
else idea of its physical aspects and con-
tour.
PHYSICAL ASPECTS.
The valley is an immense trough deeply
eroded by the Pecos river between the
Llano Estacado, or staked plain, on the
east and the central ranges of New Mex
leo. 1t runs parallel with the Rio Grande
valley throughout its course. The divid-
ing range at the Santa Fe mountains
towers to height of over $4,000 feet
Here the Pecos has its head, flowing east
wardly and taking through network of
creeks the great rain and snowfall of this
high area. 1t pursues its course almost
up to the wall of the staked plains and from
it's drainage the river as it turns south
takes up another dozen or so small
tributaries. Below it's most northern
spur the Llano Estacado is dry and the
river receives no further moisture from
that source. On the west, however, the
eastern drainage of the inter-Rio Grande-
Pecos divide augments its volume with
Ito TIC Waters Of great many streams.
1t drains an area of over 10000 square
miles. In length the valley is over 800
miles, while it varies in width from twenty
to fifty miles.
Geologically its soil is part of the i'm
mense area known as the Red Beds, which
in eastern New Mexico, Indian territory
and western Texas cover an area of more
than 100000 square miles.
The same geologist above quoted says

landscape of the east or its sombre col.

THE SYSTEM OF IRRIGATION

Submerged area o.....................S,1O S,1O0 acres
This reservoir will turn it's water as
needed into the Pecos river to be taken
up and distributed from reservoir No. 2
by the southern system just described.
The whole system will serve when CON-
pleted 100000 acres.
Intermediately between these will be
another reservoir known as No. 3, formed
in a basin similar to the Seven Rivers
reservoir, which will store 3,5OO,00O,000
cubic feet. The construction of it's dam
will be similar to that at Seven Rivers.
In fact the general features of that dam
are common to all the others. Mr.. Louis
d. Blauyelt is the engineer in charge.
The southern system as projected and
described when fully complete will have
10000, 100000 cubic feet of stored water
to serve its needs. This storage alone is
more than sufficient to irrigate 100000
acres.
THE HAGERMAN SYSTEM.
The third system of canals known as
the Hagerman system is on the east side
of the Peces and has its dam head about
fifteen miles below Eddy. 1t has reser-
voir on its course of mile and half
long by one-half mile wide with an aver
age depth of twenty-five feet. This canal
is twenty feet wide and ten miles long.
It will be extended to total of twenty
five miles.
The Highland canal, or the fourth sys-
tenn, is projected to be built south of the
territorial line and water land In Texas.
II will have the same cross section dimen-
sions as the Hondo canal; will carry the
same amount of water, 56l cubic feet per
second. Its length will be forty-two
miles.

How the Clippings of Sensitized Photo
graph Paper are Utilized.
''Refners of nitrate of silver for the
use of photographers" said one of this
profession, ''have agents travelling con-
stantly about the country collecting
the waste clippings of sensitized paper
that accumulate in every photograph
gallery. They buy all they can find.
and pay for it in new nitrate, allowing
the photographed a good round price
for his waste. The waste is shipped to
the refiners. where the nitrate in the
paper is separated from it by chemical
processes. and prepared for market
again. This refined nitrate is as
good as it was originally and
is sold for just as much.
The refiners. of course, make a big
profit out of the waste. and the pho
tographer is able to get a good supply
of material for the scraps that would
otherwise be of no use to him.
when one thinks Of the great num-
Der of photograph galleries and studios
in the country, and the fact that the
waste paper of them all is closely
gathered By the refiners at a price that
win average "a dollar pound. he may
get some idea of the proportions of a
business that is utterly unknown out
side of the persons directly interested.
Not only the scraps Of sensitized paper,
but those of the paper treated with So
lutiOns of gold, are eagerly sought by
the refners, and the photographer is
always very glsd to exchange his ac-
cumulation OF. to him, worthless for a

Like all great public characters.
whose lives are the common property
of their countrymen, Patrick Henry
has been made the central figure of
many interesting tales, some doubtless
authentic, but many more savoring of
the apocryphal. The following anec-
dote, whether true wholly or In part,
or purely mythical, shows the spirit of
perfect confidence in which the people
of Virginia regarded him:
When CORVALLIS made his great raid
into Virginia, in 1881, the Legislature
fled from Richmond to Charlottesville.
but the nearer approach of the British
caused the house to break up suddenly
and in some disorder on the 4th of
June. IL is related that Henry, accom-
panied by Benjamin Harrison, John
Tyler and Col. Christine fleeing from
the redcoats, stopped one evening
at a lowly cabin in the hills
and asked for food. An old wom-
an who answered their summons
demanded of them who they were

piled: 1--WE are members of the legis-
lature, and have been compelled to leave

We cowardly knaves," she replied, in
righteous wrath. MY husband and
sons have gone to Charlottesville to

Mr.. Henry, I'VE were obliged to fiy
We could not see the Legislature broken
up. Why, here is the speaker, Mr.
Harrison; you don't think he would
have fed had it not been necessarily
Il always thought great deal of Mr.
Harrison till now, replied the woman:
he'd no business to run away" and
she was about to close the door. Hold,
good woman" urged Mr.. Henry, you
must know that Mr.. Tyler or
Col. Christine would not take to
flight without good reason, would
they?" mo, indeed!' said she. But
they are here" said Mr.. Henry, point
ing to his companions. The old woman
gazed at the party, but rejoined mo
matter; we love these gentlemen, but
if they have run away from the British
they shall have nothing to eat in nv

stepped forward and said: what
would you say, my good woman, if
were to tell you that Patrick Henry
had fed with the rest?" Patrick

with much disgust Patrick Henry,
