FARMS LAID WASTE BY FLOOD FOR TiRTY-FIvE MILES,
 MANY PEOPLE
 HOMELESS.
(Silver City Independent.) )

NSiiNtI NllN
 The most disastrous flood which ev- CT visited southwestern New Mexico swept down the fertile Mimbres river valley. in the easter part of Grant county. Friday night. It was attended with one fatality. and the total loss, taking everything into consideration Is estimated to be about s150.000. Fully 250 people are destitute, and temporary measures are being devised for their relief As in the case of the Silver City flood. a large proportion of the loss is irrepairable. or practically so.
 It was more of a cloud burst than anything else Friday afternoon black storm clouds gathered on each side of the river. in the upper section. and about o'clock met at a point almost directly over the valley. A terrible down-pour of rain followed and large body of water commenced running. The storm was general in character an extended over wide area of coun- try. Later on the different canyons and water courses emptying into the Mimbres, swelled that already over burdened stream to such an extent as to far exceed all previous high wa ter mark records.
 II was about s o'clock in the even ing when the main body of water com menced to come down, and from that time on during the greater part of the night the river was a raging torrent. sweeping before it everything with which it came in contact and creating a scene of desolation.
 The ranchers living along the river were on their guard as result of the preliminary flood. and when it came apparent that it was no longer safe to remain in their homes, most or them sought refuge on high ground where they remained until mourning As it was, one life was lost, J. D. Anderson. ar enort to save some of his property. He had waded down into comparatively deep water, when huge wave swept down on him, carrying him to his death The body was recovered the following morning.
 The valley in question extends for distance of about thirty miles along the entire eastern portion of the coun- ty. On both sides of the stream dur ing almost its entire course are ranch es and farms, about 10000 acres in all being under cultivation. It Is the best farming section in the county. There are perhaps fifty different ranch properties in the valley. and out of this number not a single owner es- capped without loss.
 Persons from the valley say that the scene beggars description. What were golden fields of corn and grain are now waste deposits of mud and sand, with not a spear of vegetation in sight Huge boulders uprooted trees and all kinds of debris are scattered about indiscriminately, and everywhere is to be seen the force and quantity of the flood waters. It will require tre- mendous amount of labor and large expenditure of money to even partial ly restore the valley to its former prosperous condition. and it will be years before the evidences of Fridays disaster are completely eradicated.
