THE Ell PASO DAM.
A Brief of the Decision of the Supreme
Court of New Mexico.

A Santa Fee dispatch of Jan. g, says:
In the case of the United States versus
the Rio Grande Dam and Irrigation
company, wherein the territorial SUI
preme court last month verbally au-
bounced its decision sustaining Dis
trict Judge BaatZ in the lower court,
a formal opinion was filed with the
clerk yesterday expressing the views
of the entire court. The opinion was
prepared by Chief Jus ice Smith. The
ground upon which the claim of the
government is predicted is that the
Rio Grsnde is a navigable river and
that the proposed dam will in
terfere wi b its ravigab!e
capacity, contrary to the treaty
with Mexico, and in violation of the acts
of congress. The opinion goes into an
treaty stipulations bearing on the SUBJ
ject and holds that the construction
ard maintenance of the dam across the
Rio Grande at E ephaut Butte, which
the United States sought 10 restrain by
writ of Injunction, is not in violation
of any law of the United States or
any treaty with Mexico. The court
lays:
Rio Grande above Ell Peso has new
oeen used as navigable stream for
commercial intercourse in any manner
whatever and tt at it is not now cap
able of being 80 used. Dams have been
erected and maintained at Ell Pasc for
nearly 200 years, by which the river has
been obst' ucted and its waters diverted
for irrigation on both sides of the Rio
Grande.
SIT lis apparent that the proposed in
tern ational dam at Ell Paso, to which
the United States has committed itself
rot VI at laaSt not 6aSlOCa1 tn
preserve or improve the navigahle
ca pacity OF the river, but to facilitate
| the distribution of the waters which
may be gathered by obstructing the
stream there for the benefit OF riparian
occupants in Texas and Mexico aud
that the object of this proceeding is
| not to secure public benefit from til e
navigation of The Rio Grande, but
rather. under the guise OF question
of naviga bility of the stream to Obtain
an adjudication of the interests ofrival
lrri alton schemes in aid of one local
ty against ano! her. Acts of congress
and treaty provisions having 20 appli-
cation To questions of this kinu cannot
be invoked to settle conflicting Local
interests. Ii it is competent for thu
| United States to prohibit the erection
of defendants dem at Elephant Butte,
it is equally competent for it to COM
pei the removal of every irrigation
dam and headgate and prohibit the
use of the waters of the Rio Grande
and it's tributaries for irrigation
throughout the entire valley in New
| Mexico ard Colorado.
| This case is now before the United
States supreme court on appeal AM
has been recently advanced on thu
docket ~ motion of Attorney Genera

L. Siebrecht of Seguin to be. United
States marshal of the western district
of Texas was received by private tele-
gram here yesterday morning aud
later confirmed by the Associate Press
report from Washington. The APP
pointment, while upsetting many .
political calculation and theory, gives
general satisfaction. Mr. Siebrecht is
well known over this entire section OF
the state and has the reputation OF be-
ing al Industrious and thoroughly eff
fcient officer. His appointments are
matter of conjecture, Mr.. Siebrecht
stating that he would 60 into office

A Big Mining Deal.

"A OAS IAhhAh8 DCdA.
Attorneys Stanton and Williams, of
and David Murphy, mining experts, ar
rived in Las Cruces this week in the
interests of one of the greatest mining
syndicates in the world, which includ-
es among it's mem bers some of the
greatest capitalists of Europe, includ-
ing persons of the highest titles. This
syndicate is represented in this coun-
try by Clark Bros, of Chicago. Messrs.
Murphy and Giroux are the experts
employed, Murphy being their repre-
sentative in Cripple Creek and other
points. The syndicate owns the cele-
brated jerome group of mines and coz
troll the United Verde company, both in
Arizona. 1t is also claimed that the
prince of Bulgaria, brother of the
king of this century, is a memb r.
It is their ipt Q ation, if arrangements
Gamble made. to bond all the best min 9
in the Organs, including the Bennett
Stephenson, Memphis, Modoc, Black
Prince and others and if everything is
satisfactory they will purchase the
stock in such of the mines that prove
nine months, allow ng thirty days to
examine the mines. They will work
the mines giving twenty-five per cent
royalty.
It is their further intention, if they
find the output will justify to build a
smelter at the mines, presumably the
Bennett-Stephenson and construct a
tramway to Las Cruces for hauling
ore.
All the leading stockholders in the
the Bennett Stephenson have signed
the agreement and it is almost certain
that the owners of other mines will do
likewise.-D. A. Republican.
