The Southern Pacific railroad is busily
engaged in an effort to secure a supply
OF water near Casa Grande. Artesian
wells are being sunk there and depth
of $50 feet has been reached. Captain
Hale, of Tucson, is in charge OF the
operations and has instructions to keep
on going until he comes in touch either
with Hong Kong or supply Of the
needful. Heretofore the road has sec
ured water from the Florence canal,

qnate, and it was decided to ind a more
satisfactory supply. Residents OF the

tesian water at other places along the

on it write letter to another citizen of
means, perhaps in another town, and

schemer calls on the person to whom

bear three different names in New
Mexico. In every instance his intended
