After Artesian Water.

Roswell has been gushing so much
proposes to get into the swim, too. The
people have subscribed $500 to be eX-
pended in drilling at a point two miles
below the town, the contractor agree
ing to refund the money unless he de-
velops a spouter that will flow $50 gal
Ions per minute. There are artesian
wells along the valley from Roswell to
points within twenty miles of Carlsbad
and others at Pecos City, Tex, down
the valley nearly 100 miles below Carls-
bad. At Roswell are great springs from
which flow small rivers that may come
from the same source of supply as the
water of the flowing wells in the town.
At Carlsbad is a spring that sends out
a great volume, and there are many
others in the bed of the Pecos near
Carlsbad. An attempt was once made
to find an artesian supply in the latter
town, but the hole put down penetrated
only gypsum and found nothing better
thar sulphur and salt water In limited
quantity, although the formation was
cut to the depth Of 1000 feet. However,
it is now thought that the attempt
would have been successful had it been
made but a short distance west of the
spot chosen. At Miller, half way be-
tween Roswell and Carlsbad, a hole
was drilled which was pronounced a
failure, but the contractor promptly put
down another only three feet from that
which gave no returns. and to-day a
small farm is irrigated from the spout
err which the second attempt created.
The Carlsbad people can very we'll af-
ford to pay the proposed bonus for a
demonstration that water is on tap in
the lower valley.

Chicago, which is just beginning to
get over the scare about tuberculous
dairy cows, was stirred the other day
by an announcement that large num-
bers of goats are sold in that city by
packers, as mutton from New Mexico
and elsewhere. An appeal was made to
an official of the bureau of animal in
dustry, who promptly stated that the
animals were free from disease, made
excellent eating, and no law existed
against their sale for food. Chicago peo-
pie are over-nice. The goats of the
mountain region, If they be not too old,
are superior to the mutton of many
other localities, and there are few in the
country where the goat grows who ever
bother themselves with the question
whether It is mutton that is sold by the
butcher.

DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT.

DUTY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Every flood tide that passes down our
valleys to the Colorado river is just so
much wealth sweeping through u val
leys to be forever lost. All of this flood
water should be utilized for irrigation.
1t would produce millions of wealth an
nually. The important problem to Ari-
iona is the conserving of these flood wa
tiers for the benefit of the vast arid val
leys and plains. To save it is he con-
sideration. We must look to govern
ment to furnish the capital. 1t belongs
to and comes within the jurisdiction of
the government, and to the government
we must look for the necessary aid.-

OTERO COUNTY FRUIT.
One Peach Crop Represents Ten Thousand
Dollars,

Dollars.
Major Pritchard, who has been en-
joying an outing in the Three Rivers
country in company with his wife, was
an ~Alamogordo visitor Monday. He
states that Coughlan's orchard is a most
interesting place, and that he saw
anything like it in the way of fruit
trees. The peach trees are so heavily
laden with fruit that the boughs are
touching the ground, and in many in
stances broken from the weight, and
that thousands of the finest peaches
that he ever saw are lying on the
ground rotting because there is no way
to take care Of them. Mr.. Coughlan is
trying to get rid of the crop by ship
ping 500 pounds per day to Ell Paso. 1t
is estimated that there are 200, 900
pounds of peaches in the orchard. AS
they sell for 5 cents per pound, if the
crop could be marketed it would rep
resent $40, 900 for the seasons crop. Mr..
Pritchard thinks that it woul1 be a
money-making scheme if a fruit evapc-
rating or canning establishment could
be located at Three Rivers. The apple
crop is in the same condition. Thou
sands of apples are lying on the ground,
and everywhere a p%rofusion of fruit at
tests the value of the country as a fruit
section of the first water. The people
of Otero county have been cut off from
railway transportation so long that this
seasons crop was not arranged for in
the market, and it is doubtful if many
really knew what to do, in order to dis
pose of the fruit raised. Next eason
an effort will be made to dispose of the
crop, and Otero county will develop inso
a world beater, both for quantity and
for quality of peaches and apples.
Peaches are coming into the Alamogor-
do market that measure from 8 to 6
inches in diameter. and the flavor is ex-
cellent. They are quite different from
other peaches Of large size, being mel

The county commissioners have called
upon taxpayers to attend a meeting
mex Friday evening and give an ex-
preston to their opinions and desires in
regard to certain county debts. The
invitation should certainly be accepted
so that the board may know the wishes
Of the people before taking any steps

they should take the opportunity to

The outer great wall OF Pekin ia
about twenty-seven miles in cIrcum-
ference. 1t was built centuries ago Of
mud and bricks. Each brick is as big
as family Bible, and the interstlces
are filled up with mud and stones. The
whole has long settled into a solid
cement, Save for some damage done
in one or two quarters by recent floods,
this great wall is still intact. The
gates number thirteen, They are in
significant, though finely arched, being
only twenty feet high. At night they
are closed with great doors sheathed
with iron, and no one can pass in or
out.

An American surgeon, Mr.. G. r..
Turner, OF Snlckersvllle, has Just
bought for over $500 q maidstone that
appears to possess some remarkable
qualities. The stone was brought from
Europe-probably England-196 years
ago. It Is about the size Of shilling,
and has the appearance Of sandstone,
but Is smoother and somewhat porous.
The stone is oval-shaped and has a
dark-brown color. It Is claimed by
those who have witnessed the power
Of the maidstone that 1t is a certain
cure for all bites OF mad dogs and
poisonous reptiles, and 1t Is positively
asserted that 1t has never yet failed
to perform Its functions If the patient
reaches It in time. One well-authen-
tlcated case Is given where two people
were bitten about the same time by
the same dog. One Of the victims was
q firm believer in the efficacy Of the
stone, had 1t applied to the wound, and
never thereafter suffered any evil ef-
fects The other, having no faith In
the stone and Its much talked-of
power, refused to go to 1t, and soon
afterward died In agony from hydro
phobia.
