It is said that one or more cap
ltalists are about to try to re-
claim a large area of land in the
vicinity of Albuquerque by sink
artesian wells on a mesa which
forms the more elevated part of
the Rio Grande valley in that vi
cinity. They have, it seems, OBJ
tanned sufficient evidence of the
existence of a good supply of
water to encourage them to make
the venture. There is no doubt
that in large measure the val
ley of the Rio Grande is under
laid with water, for although
the river at times sinks beneath
the surface, the presence of water
is always disclosed when bedrock
is reached. Probably the guam
tity is great enough to reclaim a
large area of land, although it
may not suffice to irrigate the
the whole valley.-Santa Fe New

Opposed To Annexation.

A gentleman who has resided
for several years in Cuba tells the
Cincinnati Enquirer that all class
es of people in the island are now
opposed to annexation. He says:
During the first year of our
military administration the Span
iards generally favored annexa-
ton, fearing Cuban retaliation.
This fear no longer exists. The
Cubans have shown a forgive
ness and friendliness for the
Spaniards that the latter return.
This is natural; they are practi-
cally of one race, blood, language
and religion. The Cubans re-
belled against Spanish civil and
military misrule and oppression,
not against the Spanish race.
The relations between the two
classes are cordial; they present
solid phalanx against foreign
arbitrary military rule. The
Spaniards, the commercial class,
further than patriotic motives,
have a most potent, economic OBJ
lection to annexation, the same
our sugar, tobacco and fruit grow
ers will urge, namely, the compe-
tition resulting from annexation
and consequent free trade.

r1AJOR LLEWLLEYN
IN WASHINGTON.
He Is Working For the Opening
of the MesCalerO Indian
Reservation.

Says a Washington dispatch:
Major W. H. H. Llewellyn of
Las Cruces, is in Washington in
the interest of several enterprises
in which the people of his terri
tory are interested. Major Llew-
elleyn on his arrival here was
promptly invited to the White
House to dinner, as the president
never fails to entertain members
of his old regiment when they
are in good standing.
Major Llewel1yn says he has
no reason 10 believe that the SEN
ate will not confirm the appo int
nent of Governor Otero for
another term, and that there
seems to be no good reason why
Governor Murphy of Arizona
should not expect to serve out the
four years for which he was ap-
pointed.
The principal reason for the
majors trip to Washington at
this time, originates in the desire
of the people of New Mexico, for
the opening of the Mescalero
Apache Indian reservation to
homestead settlement. There are
about 500 Indians on this reser-
vation, but they have all received
their allotment of land, and there
are still 100000 acres available.
For some time the government
has cherished the intention of
making new forest reserve to
cover this reservation, though
the people of New Mexico would
prefer to have it thrown open to
settlement, as the land is fertile
and not much can be done with
it without irrigation. There is
mineral as we'll as timber, how
ever, and even if it is set aside as
a forest reserve, opportunity will
be given for prospecting. This
reservation was not created by
act of congress, but was set aside
from the public domain by presi-
Dental proclamation and can be
restored to the public domain by
the same process, without act of
congress. The Indians have all
received their allotments of land.
but no objections would be made
to their being paid moderate
sum of money to compensate for
the loss of the free range in the
1000 acres to be taken from
them.
The people of New Mexico de-
sire that this land be thrown
open to settlement under the
strictest limitations of the home.

IRRIGATION IN THE
PECOS VALLEY.

What has been done by private
enterprise during the last decade
in the Pecos valley of New Mex
ico, is a criterion of what may be
done in other sections. At an
expense of some four million dol
lars, over 25O,OOO acres of land
have been reclaimed from desert
wllds, and valley 100 miles
long made suitable for cultiva-
ton of all grains, fruits, vegeta-
bles and berries of the temperate,
and not few plants of the semi
tropical zones. Two fourishing
little tows, Carlsbad and Roswell,
have been evolved from dreary
wastes of cattle range, with a
few hundreds of inhabitants scat
tered miles apart up and down
the Pecos river, into miniature
cities, whose interests are diversi-
fed and people as cosmopolitan
as one could expect in heterogen-
eous communities of 1000 souls
each.
After horseback trip of 200
miles, starting from one of the
fiat sandbordered and not pictur-
esque cattle towns of west Texas,
and crossing the treeless plains
and alkali deserts. the traveller
desCends, as of a sudden, into a
lovely valley, fanked on one
side by gently sloping hills and
on the other by rugged foothills
of the Guadalupe mountains,
whose peaks can just be seen.
This is Carlsbad-a garden spot
whose elevation is $500 feet
above sea level-and town
equally noted as health resort
for consumptives and for its vast
production of fruit and vegeta-
bles.
To irrigate Carlsbad, great
dams have been carried across
the Pecos river, and several res
ervoirs have been constructed
one in fact. being the largest in
the United States. To carry the
water to the city and farms, some
1900 miles of main canals, main
and Sub-laterals have been built.
At the expense of SIPS pei
acre, the farmer can have all the
water he needs at tWenty-f0ur
hours notice. The water is hard,
but of excellent quality, contain
ing much phosphates and carbon
ates, which are carried in solu.
ton by the Pecos river, rising as
it does in the Rocky mountains
and being constantly fed by in.
