Underground River Flows Through
the Vast Cavern.
Tho Isl paso Herald says that par.
tics arriving there from Arizona tell
an interesting story of the discovery
OF n wonderful underground river
near Stafford last week that promises
O. work miracles In that section.
The river II seems was recently dis.
covered hy a man named Stafford the
government surveyor in that part Of
the territory Many months ago he
heard the roar of the water, but az
that time thought Il was from the
heavy rains IN the mountains Re-.
comfy, however, he was IN that sec
ton again when there had been no
rain IN the mountain for some time
end heard the roar again
Determined on n thorough investica.
tlon he began examining the caves ip
that section and at last found ono that
was deep In the ground, Following &;
for a hundred feet or more he diacol
etod Il stream Of pure. clear watpf
that WAS more than thirty feet Wide
and ten feet deep. The fall was con
siderable and the volume OF wat o.
wonderful He came out and went a.
town and filed on the property IN thai
vicinity and went back tG further n.
Nestigute. he has since concluded
that the water can be brought TO the
surface by It's own weight and used
for irrigation purposes.
There Is n body Of about twenty
thousands acres Of level land very
near the cave which Mr.. stafford pro
poses irrigating with the water from
the river He says that Il will corj
only a few thousand dollars to brine
the water 10 the surface. and VIII au
this Is done the enormous volume will
v oil irrigato one hundred thousand
acres of ground. Farther down the
valley is a large body OF level land
and he thinks TINT the water can uo
taken there with little expense.
The whole town of Stafford a. cXci
ted over the discovery and alroad,
many people have gone into that sec
ton and taken up larl on the home
stead plan.
