The practice begun several years
ago by Russian horsemen of purchas
ing thoroughbred American stations
for breeding purposes has resulted 81
favorably that now the Russian horses
bid fair to rival those of the United
, States as regards speed. A steady i'm
> provement has been noted in light har
T. ness stock and now there is a numbe
of very speedy animals in the land o
the czar. America formerly stoo
! alone in this line, but, if the presen
! indications may be accepted as a or
terion, she may soon be forced to d
I vide honors with Russia.
Frank Thurmond has just complete
e the boring of a well near his ranch
Cambray, in Luna county, that prove
to be a bonanza. The well is nearly &c
feet in depth and was sunk only abol
fifty yards from one that had been sun
to the depth Of $50 and not a drop
e water found. When the vein was fir
Il reached the first that was taken Of
% was as clear as a crystal, and a fol
E. inch stream, pumped continuously fl
II twenty-four hours failed to lower Il
ID water in the well one inch, which
e good evidence than an undergroul
Fl river has been tapped, This is a We
'e valuable find as the cattlemen of I'll
section have now only to sink deep
., than they have formerly done to ma
w that a good grazing country.
