THE WATER QUESTION.
Prof. longuemare Talks About Arte-
sian Wells.
He is of the Opinion that Artesian Water
May be Obtained for Irrigation.

Two questions of vital importance to
the people of New Mexico consist first,
In the restoration of the full and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to l.; the second to obtain for the terri
tory supply OF water adequate to meet
the necessities of an increasing popula-
ton and OF expanding industries. The
first question will not deal with in this
communication. 1t is an important issue
that will not down and | feel assured
will be disposed OF in favorable man
ner by the producing elements OF the
nation who have grown weary OF English
interference in American finance and
likewise of Wall streets oppressive yoke.
The second question involves a prob
lem that will tax the intelligence and
the energies of the progressive citizens
OF the southwest, for Arizona and west
ern Texas are both as deeply interested
in securing a permanent supply of water
as New Mexico. This being the case, joint
action should be taken in the efforts that
will be made to obtain that indispens-
able element-"water."
Various methods in securing this OBJ
ject suggest themselves. They are all
good, and water from any and all sources
will be welcome and required to promote
the future progress of the southwest.
The construction OF dams on the line
of running streams, as for example the
Rio Grande, will no doubt prove valuable.
Works similar to those now being COM
pleted at Deming. The damming OF arroy-
as and canons and construction of res
ervoirs by private individuals and by
communities or corporations will also
add to the industrial future Of New Mex
leo. The use OF gasoline and OF hot air
engines to raise water to the surface
where it can be done economically, also
will result in an increase OF the supply
OF the water OF the territory, but when
all OF these expedients have been ex.
hausted it will be found that there will
yet remain millions OF acres of rich sol
in New Mexico unfit for cultivation be.
cause of the want OF moisture.
To convert these millions of acres now
arid into productiveness is a problem

will now return to the period when
the cretaceous system OF rocks was in
course OF solidifcation throughout the
southwest. 1t was then when the coal OF
New Mexico was undergoing the first
stages OF conversion, when the lime
stone, sandstone and other stratifed
rocks were taking the form in which we
now behold them. Before and after this
period in the geological history of the
southwest, repeated deluges occurred,
leveling the forests and destroying vege-
tation. 1t was due to this succession OF
deluges that we owe the alternating
stratum that now exists and the various
veins of coal found in New Mexico at
various depths and existing under vary
ing conditions.
Evidence goes on to show that when
the cretaceous period closed, the south
west was elevated and the great bodies
OF water existing as lakes and lagoons in
consequence were drained, flowing fur
there on to swell the oceans volume.
That forests once clothed the surface
OF New Mexico goes without saying; that
running streams OF magnitude contin-
ued to drain the vast section under con-
sideration is also certain and had it not
been for successive periods OF mountain
building to-day the southwest would be
one vast plain covered with timber and
clothed with verdure. Those who are
familiar with the topography OF the ter
ritory well know that as one travels
from east to west, a succession OF noun
tain ranges occur, possessing northerly
and southerly course and that between
these ranges that extend through the
territory there'exists vast mesas in val
eys. Below the surface OF these table
lands will be found the cretaceous rocks
more or less undisturbed, consisting OF
(cement) conglomerate, coal, clay, shale,
limestone, etc., etc. When this strata
Or layer upon layer OF various bands OF
sedimentary rock will be penetrated by
