MINE ACCIDENTS.
Three Occurred In the Hanover Country In
Two Days.

wv lays,
Demetrio Melendes, a miner working
for Johnson & Ernest on their claim
near the Anson S at Hanover, was ter
ribly injured by an explosion of giant
powder last week. Melendes was thaw-
ing the dynamite preparatory to load
ing, when it exploded. Both eyes were
torn out of their sockets and his body
was fearfully bruised.
The same day at Fierro. near by,
Emilio Chaves picked up missed shot
just as it exploded, and was seriously
injured.
Another accident occurred the follow
ing day at Hanover. J. R. McKinnie. a
mine operator of Colorado Springs, in
company with w. P. Cobb and C. B.
Hickman, Of Colorado Springs. were
being shown through the Philadelphia
mine by ]. W. Bible. They stopped un-
derneath the point where an air shaft
was being sunk from the surface to
connect with the level. At that moment
the last shot which was to break
through into the tunnel was made, and
the discharge threw the rock in every
direction from the bottom OF the air
shaft into the tunnel where the men
stood. The force Of the explosion threw
them to the ground and they were all
struck by flying rocks, but strange to
say, none of them were seriously in
jured, although they all sustained pain
full bruises and scratches, and Mr..
Hickman has to walk around on
crutches in consequence.

PENA BLANCA BRIDGE.
1t Is Being Built and Will Help the o.
chit.

Hon. Marcelino Baca, who represent.
ed Bernaillo county very creditably in
the 33d legislative assembly and who
has been in this city for several days on
business, left this afternoon for his home
at Pena Blanca.
He informed the New Mexican that
the bridge across the Rio Grande, near
Pena Blanca, on the mf|H root TO the
Cochiti mining district, is now In course
of construction, work thereon having
commenced last Monday.
The bridge will be constructed of iron
and steel, according to one of the most
approved plans, and the work is in the
hands of competent engineers and bridge
builders. Mr.. Baca, as member of the
legislative assembly, worked very hard
for the passage of bill authorizing the
construction of bridges, being it's author
and principal sponsor, and is greatly
gratiied at the fact that Bernalllo will
have the first bridge under the provis-
ions of that law, and that the great
Cochiti mining district will be aided by
the structure, as 1t will increase travel
and make the crossing of the Rio Grande
safe at all seasons of the year.

Another Rich Strike.

Our Antelope Valley friends are
much elated over another rich strike
in their valley. Mr.. Carter, who To-
Gated the Almona claim, has struck an
other rich claim above the Mckay
ranch in Little Antelope Valley and
not far from the Alpine county line.
1t opens very rich as far as work has
progressed and promises to show a
heavy deposit of gold ore. And it is
said a like rich strike has been made
just the other side of the line, in Alpine
county.
We learn that President s. G. Lines,
of the ALMOND Mining Co., has gone to
San Francisco to make arrangements
for the erection of mill at the mine,
which is in the vicinity of the above
mentioned strike, the ALMOND having
proven itself worthy of reduction
works.
With the ALMOND and Carter's new
claim, coupled with the change OF
owners of the Antelope Marble Quarry,
Antelope Valley gives promise of soon
being lively camp. : Bridgeport

and on moonlight nights some farmers
remain out irrigating all night. the
water is turned upon some level por-
ton of the farm, where it will cover
the ground of its own volition. In
times of low water it is not uncommon
for two large bitches to work on the
exchange plan-that is, one ditch for a
certain number of days will take all
the water that the two are entitled to,
and then give the other its turn under
like arrangement. 1t has been found
that water will go much further under
this plan. The storing and distributing
of water for irrigation involved many
interesting features. Take the Cham
ber's Lake reservoir of the Water Sup
ply and Storage Company, as one, for
instance. 1t is situated high in the
Rocky Mountain range, at least fifty
miles from the head gate of the COM
pany's main ditch, but tributary to the
Cache la Poudre River. When the
water stored up in it is needed for use
at any time, it is measured into the
main current of the river and permitted
to run its course. AS an equivalent
the company is allowed to take from
the river at it's head gate an equal
amount, less a small deduction made
for leakage and evaporation on the
way down from Chambers Lake. The
using of the natural bed of stream
for the conducting of water for irriga-
ton, as just described, is permitted by
State law.
The manipulation of the water stored
in the plains reservoir of this COM
pany affords another instance of in
genuity. These reservoirs consist of a
chain of six artificial lakes some seven
or eight miles eastward from the COM
pany's main head gate. The lakes
were formed from natural depressions
in the land, diked up, and are filled
annually through the company's main
ditch. But they are SO situated that
they cannot be drained into the main
ditch and the water carried forward to
the land desired to be irrigated, nor
can they be drained by independent
outlets that can be made to reach such
land. So the water can only be utilized
by means of an exchange with older
bitches that lie at lower level than
the reservoirs. The total capacity of
these reservoirs is in the neighborhood
of SOC, 900, 600 cubic feet of water, so it
can be seen that the utilization of the
water thus stored is a matter of no
small Importance. The reservoirs are
all connected by canals, and can all be
drained, one into another, until the
last one is reached. The exchange of
water is made both with other bitches
direct and with the river below. An
exchange is frequently made with the
Larimer and Weld ditch, the discharge
way of the reservoirs crossing the
ditch in a flume at right-angles, and
through the bottom of this fiume the
water is dropped into the ditch below.
When it is not convenient for the
Larimer and Weld to take this water,
it is carried on into the river, being
measured near the discharge-way of the
lakes by weir, and the owners of the
reservoir permitted to take an equal
amount of water from the river above,
at their head gate. There is nothing
compulsory about this exchange, but
it is made by mutual agreement among
the ditch companies.
