A Big SPOUTER.
An Artesian Well at Roswell That Flows
1900 Gallons Minute

The Mining Record published the pic
ture of an artesian well recently drilled
near Roswell. 1t says:
1.-The flowing stream came boiling out
of the 55s-inch casing, and stands "a
inches above the top of the casing. The
flow is estimated at from 1,400 to 1880
gallons per minute. The rule heretofore
has been to allow 100 gallons for every
inch the flow stood above the casing of
that size, but the flow is calculated at
seventy-five gallons per inch per min
ute, which is believed to be accurate.
When confined in an additional joint of
casing it stood IL feet inches above the
ground.
"rhe manner in which Eliza White
and his crew of workmen have done this
work calls attention to the fact that
they have attained most satisfactory
results with the Keystone driller. They
work day and night, having two shifts,
and usually finish well in four, five or
six days. The machine is powerful, and
IS equipped with heavy drills that go
through anything"
The water in these wells is found in a
layer of sand and gravel from 200 to 6OO
feet below the surface. AS soon as the
pipe Is driven into this stratum the wa
ter rises. A number of wells have been
put in, and, with only few exceptions
they all flow. This water Is believed to
come from the melting snow on the
mountains, and percolates through the
porous gravel until 1t finds vent. The
gravel is overlaid with blanket Of blue
clay and putty-like alluvum. What is
being done along the Pecos and Hondo
rivers can be done in many other parts
of New Mexico and western Texas, as
| we'll as other parts.
In making these wells, 1t Is essential
that the piping be carefully put in in
such way that the flow of water VIII
be conducted to the surface. Unless this
is done, the water may rise certain
distance and flow away through oper
crevices or dry strata Of sand without
appearing at the surface at ALL These
| wells now being made in eastern New
Mexico are being. used not only for wa.
tering stock, but for irrigation. and
form one of the cheapest known meth.
ods for getting water for this purpose
| The amount of water to be obtained
seems to be limited only to the number
of holes put down, and wells have beer
put down within few hundred feet Of
each other without seeming to lesser
the amount Of water discharged.

Editor of the New Mexican.
| Two years ago it was my good fortune
| to be a visitor to the penitentiary at
Santa Fe, when it was under the man.
| agement of f. II. Bergmann, who, it
| was reported, was the only man that
| could run an institution of that kind
successfully. He told me at that time
| that he was hampered for the want of
| funds. The Hon. Governor Otero did
| not think that he was the only man who
could run the institution, so shortly aft
er | was transferred to a new field of
labor he appointed Hon. H. o. Bursum
warden of the penitentiary After an
absence of a year and a half | was
brought back to my old field of labor
One evening I called on Governor Otero
at his house for the purpose of paying
my respects to his good wife and babies.
While there he introduced me to Mr..
Bursum, who gave me a cordial invita-
tion for the purpose of seeing the i'm
provements he had made in year and
a half. AS | was in that vicinity few
days ago | dropped in to see them. 1
found all the prisoners at work. There
was not an idle man among them. They
have PA men, few colored men, some
Americans, but the great majority are
natives. I could not help but notice
the many Improvements that have ta-
ken place in less than a year and a
half and all for the better. Mr.. Bursum
informed me that when he took charge
the institution was running behind.
Since then he has put in $4,000 worth of
machinery, built several new buildings,
and furnished all the brick for the in
side work of the new capitol, and estab-
lished a fine brick plant, and has three
teams of Missouri mules as fine as any
Uncle Sam ever owned; all of which
have been paid for, and still has money
to it's credit in the bank. 1t makes a
speciality of making paving brick which
is far superior to any brick made in this
whole western country. In short, time
other manufacturers, and hopes to be
able to ship brick of a superior quality,
either for pavements or structural
work, to San Francisco and our new
possessions in the Orient. The grounds
look as if they had been well taken care
of, and the kitchen and cooking ar
rangements are as clean as any you will
find in any private dwelling. While go
ing through the kitchen I noticed the
bread was in large loaves and looked
very palatable. 1t all satisfied me that
if you appoint a good man and an up
to-date business man in all public insti-
tutions there would not be so much of
a deficiency to be made up at the end of
each year. Efficiency, cleanliness and
humane treatment seem to be the order
of the day al the penitentiary at Santa
Fe. Yours respectfully,
THE OLD CAPTAIN.
