the writer made one of party, who un-
der the escort of Hon. Levi Hughes, the
efficient president and general manager,
visited the works. The storage lake is
Just below the mouth of the canon, will

five acres of land; will average twenty to
thirty feet deep. The dam that is to hold
this immense supply of water is now in
course of construction in the bottom of the
canon. The bed rock has been stripped.
A cement core is to be placed in the center
of the dam, which is to be 300 feet thick
of puddled clay Below the core a layer
of boulders will take away seepage, per-
mitting it to pass off without detriment
to the dam. Passing up the bed of the
creek is supply pipe for the city en-
closed in cement tunnel. This will enter

below the dam. On the eastern side an

vesuvius and her famous guns for this
week. The trial takes place at Pt. Royal,
S. c., where the ship now is already to
begin aud where the preparations for the
test are announced entirely complete.
The trial will be conducted under the
auspices of board appointed by Sec.
Tracy, consisting Of Capt. Montgo gomery
Sicard, commanding the Miontonomah;
Capt. A. S. Barker, commanding the Phlla-
delphia, and Commander ". Ii. Brown

loaded.
The shots for practice will be made
under varying conditions Of wind andsea
The moving target will consist OF a
condemned cutter, to be toWed with tow
line at least l,200 feet long. The success
attending the experiments with firing
emmensite from modern high power can
non is what prompted the naval ordinance
bureau to build the seven-inch rapid fire
gun, designed especially for firing high
ex plosives. pectation is that, with
the application of the rapid fire type Of
breech mechanism, now used on the i've
inch and six inch rapid fire guns,
to this new weapon. it will be en-
tirely safe and practicable to i've four or
five rounds per mil ace D#itil s'is loaded

shells burst detonatively at will, as

craft whose vitals are not covered by

5000 Blaze at Daning.

Deming was visited by another conda-
grafton on Saturday. It originated in
Mrs. e. Keeler's millinery store and the
flames soon communicated to the ad ioin-
ing residence of DR.. Fl. R. King, on the
south, and the large brick building on the
north owned by Col. j. 2. McGrorty, and
in which is located the United States
custom house.
The Collins dwelling south of the King
residence was next to catch from the
flames. but by good generalship it was
saved, although much damaged by water.
The Keeler and King properties were
burned to the ground, while the McGrorty
building, beng of brick, is still standing,
although damaged to the extent of $1,000.
Total loss is about $4,000, partly covered
by insurance. The origin is unknown.

CHURCH TROUBLES.
SatOili the POpe's Deiegate-EViii the
Church in the u. y. secHde!

ROME, Jan. 16.-The pope has decided
to establish permanent apostolic dele
cation in the United States and has nomi-
mated Monsigneur Satolli to be the first
delegate. This decision the vatican con-
siders to be sufficient reply to the
opposition to Monsigneur Satolli and his
mission.
Washington.--Info formation is also here
confirming the announcement that Mon
signeur Satolli has been appointed apos-
tolic delegate to the United StPtas and
stating that Rev. F, Y. Rocker, of Albany,
N. Y, had been formally appointed secre-
tary to the apostolic delegate.
London-Archbishop Vaughn has ad-
vices from Rome that very great peril
menaces the interests of the Pope in the
United States. So far as can be ascer-
tanned a plot has been discovered having
rs its basis a separation of the church in
America from the mother church of Rome
and the creation of an independent body
with head selected by the American
bishops"

immense tunnel is Eeeing constructed to
the head of the pond ard mouth of the
canon that will draw ota all the muddy
water, sand, etc, coming down stream
from freshets. This tunnel pas5ess under
the spill way and will be the head OF the
ditch leading to other reservoirs, further
down the valley wherein it is intended to
store the spring food waters o. the river.
This one reservoir will hold something
over 20,000,000 cubic feet Of water and
the others to be constructed Will hold
many times more, it being the intention
to use, save and lmpo.hd for use the
millions upon millions Of cubic feet Of
water that every year go to waste in
the Rio Santa Fe.

eating enterprise.
And yet there is always strange side
to works of this kiud. The fact is, Hon,
Levi Hughes concelru,, tne idea of this
grand enterprise; it was his brain and
energy, assisted by several other public
spirited gentlemen Of Santa Fe, that car
ried it through. and now while the work is
progressing Mr.. Hughes is made the
target OF every unkind word that can be
said and the press OF the city used to
abuse him. 1t is passing strange to US
that such things are; that God in his in
finite wisdom would make things on such
small pattern, and after having made
them would allow them to live, but we
suppose it is all right; that in the
economy of nature it takes all things to
make world, and such creatures must be
! SO that by comparison the difference be-
tween them and a man can be seen. We
are pleased to note, however, that this
abuse does not come from the native
people Of New Mexico. They have never
attained that place of civilization; when
they curse man for benefting them, it
comes from those "Better than Thou"
people who come from the east, who,
when they start west having one dog hair
in their composition, are all dog when
they get to New Mexico-you always
know them by their yelp."
