Las Vegas Optic.
Mr.. Edgar l.. Hewett has just re-
turned from Roswell where he has
been to deliver a course of lectures
before the Chaves county Teachers
Institute. In response to a request
from the Optic for his impressions
of the Pecos Valley MI. Hewett said:
THE Pecos Valley win some day
be fit for a state by itself. It has the
elements that make a country great
vast natural resources and splendid
people. What that valleyis in spite
of its isolation is a little indication
of what it will be when fully come
ted with the outside world by ade-
quate railroad facilities. There is
every indication that this will be
done very soon. 1t is almost Ger
tain, too. that the government will
make the Pecos Valley the location
of one of the earliest operations in
national irrigation.
THE people there are making pub
lie education a matter of first con-
sideration. Five years ago they had
six teachers in the public schools of
Roswell. Now they have twenty-six.
and they are aiming to secure moth
ing but the best in everything hat
tenn is under the management of "a
very superior city superintendent,
who, acting under the advice of a
board of excellent business men. is
gathering a superior corps of teach
ers into their service. No friends or
favorites are known in selecting the
teachers. They get the best that
their money will secure. The same
may be said of their Military Insti-
tute. Supt. Wilson is a thorough
going specialist in military education
and is making In excellent institu-
ton. He is well supported by the
board n people. Already the peo-
pie of Roswell are talking of a col
lege for the higher education of their
young people. and ! must say that |
consider it a splendid location for
such an institution. 1t would aid
them very much too in attracting
fhn n1ouc Of cAff1nre that thnN- nrA
looking for.
Il have not found a better body of
teachers in any of the states than
those of Chaves county. They are
in dead and want every idea
they can get o. teaching. All their
work is characterized by a high pro-
fessional spirit and in this they have
the encouragement of the people and
press.
You don't need to be told any
thing about the press of Roswell.
The newspapers are liberal, progress
sive and in the hands of good men,.

Operations on Belle Isle.

The present holders of Belle

develop the hidden resources of
the Island. The unfortunate loss
of their first mine 10y blasting
through into the sea, and the fail
ure of the project OF freezing the
! quick sands into a solid mass,
while sinking a second shaft on a
higher part of the island, have
in no wise discouraged the own

The old mines, after filing with
water, have been steadily operated
by pumping out this water and
evaporating it. Large quantities
of most excellent salt lave been
shipped as result of this process.
An effort is now being made to
successfully sink a shaft through
the treacherous quicksands by the
employment of compressed air.
The shaft is now below the beds
of sand and down into a firm bed
of clay and sulphur. AS the shaft
is a wooden structure the compress
ed air has to be kept on in order
to hold back the water, which
would otherwise embarrass the
operations at the bottom. The
pressure is 80 lbs. and the work.
men thrive under this pressure 8
