Mr.. James w Wilson Of Chicago an
editor, colonizer and immigration pro-
moter who has been interested in the
New Mexico fruit belt by the Durango
engineer J. e. Tiffany, came to Aztec
Tuesday to look over the ground Of his
probable future operations.
Mr.. Wilson represents company
o. capiishstseho propose to construct
two large irrigaiirg canals and many
laierals to cover the mesas on both
sides Of. the Animss ard the beautiful
table land Of the La Plata and San
juan for thie purpose he proposes to
appropriateallthe wa erremainnig in the
Animas river Canal No is to be taken
out near Cedar Hill and will cover the
Bloomfield Mesa comprising thousands
Of acres Of valual le fruit land.
Canal No. O., will be taken out on
the west side Of q q river at an elevation
while it will lead over the La Plata
divide. wat. ring thousands Of acres Of
tho rich La Plata lands and contin ueing
to the glades southwest whore the lande
available for irrigation exceeds greatly
the water supply.
Mr. Wilson left Chicago April 9th. and
spent some time 10 st Louis and Santa
Fe looking up titles fron Santa Fe. he
came to Aztec accompanied by engineer
Tiffany who located and fled for him.
While here he conferred with a number
Of our leading citizens and arranged for
purchasing all interests in formerly pro-
iected high line canals.
The enterprise contemplates the ex-
penditure of large amount of money,
but there is no doubt that when the
valuable land under these canals is
settled, which will be but short time,
the investment will be an exceedingly
profitable one. Enough and can in few
years be sold to settlers to pay the cost
Of construction leaving large balance
as clear profit 1t does not require pro
phet to determine that the rich fruit
lands along the valleys Of the Animas
San Juan and La Plata will be one Of
the most profitable sections in the coun-
try for horticulture agriculture and
sock raising. Mr.. Wilson's enterprise
includes the locating Of colonies on the
lands covered by these canals.
This undertaking. if successfully car.
ried out means much for San Juan coun
ty. 1t will be the banner county Of the
Territory A railroad is almost certain
to follow the settlement Of these lands.
Let every one in the county lend
the enterprise all the encouragement
pswsible.

is based upon the same charge as tie

Juror, and is merely int ended to repair
legal flaw which is believed to exist
in the original This second fern con-
tair1s certificate to the correctness of
the indictment, which its predecessor
lacked. The other requlsition, which is
entirely new, is based upon a charge
tHat McNichols is fugitive from ttls-

the law in Chicago. In this connection
it is alleged that he had pleaded guilty
to charge of larceny, and while serv-
ing sentence for that offense he es-
capped from deputy Sheriff while being
taken from the jail to court to testify
in a case on trial
McNichols' hearing before the governor
has been continued until next Monday
afternoon, and by stipulation On the
part of the attorneys his case, as far az
the original charge is concerned, Will
remain in statu quo until that time
County Attorney Kane has, however, re-
served the right to proceed under a new
requisition based. upon distinctly diff
ferent charge from the one first pre-
ferred against the prisoner, and under
that agreement he may press the re-
