THE MESILLA VALLEY.
An Era of Prosperity Assured for the
People Of DOna Ana COnnty-FrUtt
Trees in Blossom.

Hol Ed E. Sluder, register of the
United States land office at Las Cruces,
who has been in the city for several DAYS
visiting with friends, takes very bright
view of the coming season for the Me-
silla valley.
Heretofore the lack of sufficient water
for irrigation purposes has been serious
drawback, but this difficulty is to be over
come by fine irrigation system which
will cover the entire valley. The divert
ing dam now under construction near old
Fort Sslden, and the net work of bitches
connected with it, insure plenty OF water
and the productiveness of the lands, is
therefore made certain and permanent
The result of this enterprise is being felt
even now. New corners are looking for
farms and all the lands available for cul-
tivation are being rapidly taken up, while
improved lands are finding ready sale.
The early varieties of fruit trees are in
full bloom, but the growers are very
anxious over the possibilities of a late
frost. Should one come the result would
be disastrous. All Indications point to an
enormous crop of grapes. The vines are
in splendid condition, and unless some.
thing unforeseen happens to them, g
prosperous year is assured the vineyard
owners. The valley is filled with health
seekers, every town having its full quota
and the farm houses, where suitable quar-
tiers can be found, are besieged with ap
plicauts for board. The Mesilla valley il
one of the most healthful and pleas
ant portions Of the territory, particularly
at this season of the year, and the visitors
all express themselves delighted with the
climate and the results obtained in re-
newed health and strength.

The Old Reliable,

In 1879 Mr.. j. H. Blaine opened bust
ness in Santa Fe, and for IS years has

Store on San Francisco street, he carries
large stock of staple general merchandise,

READY FOR THE EXECUTION
Arrangements Have Been Completed
for the Finale in the Chaves Trag-
edy of Five Years Ago.
TOMORROW WILL BIZ The FATAL DAY
The Scatfold in the Jail Yard Will Be
Entirely Covered with Canvass to
Shut the Spectacle from the
Gaze of the Rabble.

Unless all the signs deceive, tomorrow
will witness the finale of the Chavez
tragedy of 1892, in which Sheriff Frank
Chavez went TO his death under the cover
of darkness, and out of which grew other
fatal ARRAYS and animosities without
number.
All arrangements for the execution of
the four men convicted of this crime,
we're completed today, and some time to-
morrow they will pay the penalty on a
scaffold standing in the jail yard. 1t is
the same machine that was erected a
month since, and few days prior to the
attorney generals respite, which added
80 days to the earthly careers of the con-
demned. This scaffold is substantial
affair 12x21 in size, with six foot trap,
and seven foot drop.
| Tue scaffold will be entirely covered
with convass. Without this precaution the
spectacle would be visible from the roofs
of half dozen buildings adjoining the
Jail yard for which the low adobe walls
afford but slight protection, The execu-
ton will in reality take place in big
tent, to which only those entitled will be
admitted. Jailer Dick Huber was at
work all day on the scaffold. The trap
was tested half dozed times with sacks
of sand weighing 100 pounds and worked
perfectly. Huber by the by WAS offered
an extra guard last night but refused
He does not anticipat any trouble, and
predicts that the grussome affair will pass
off like clock work. On Saturday night
an extra guard of ten militiamen was put
on at the penitentiarY, and tomorrow two
full companies, one of cavalry and one OF
infantry, will do escort and guard duty
for the execution. The prisoners are re-
ported as being pretty we'll reconciled tc
their fate, and it is said that they vii
probably meet their doom without any
unusual exhibition of fear. Sheriff KIN
sell and his Chief Deputy Allan were busy
throughout the day giving directions as
to the completion of details relating to
the execution. The trap was weighted
and tested in their presence and pro
nounced in perfect working order. Mr.
Hogan, of the penitentiary will oficiate
on the scaffold. There will be less thar
a dozen witnesses all told.
At O'Clock today the families of tn
condemned men were admitted to thu
penitentiary for final farewell. The.
remained with the prisoners until
O'Clock. It was most pathetic seem
which can be better imagined than de
