SUPERVISION. Inc transfer IS a
promotion for Mr. Campbell, and
is a fitting recognition of his ser
viees by the Singer people. P ].
has made many friends during his
stay in Brownsville, all of whom
rojoice with him in his promotion,
but regret to have him leave the
city. 1t will probably be some
time in June before Mr.. Compbell
will leave Brownsville.
The program as announced yes
terday at Matamoros was carried
out to the letter, a grand reception
being rendered Gov. Arguelles, the
Minister of Communications, i'm
mediately upon arrival of the train
at 8 o clock, The 23rd Infantry
band and the State band delighted
the large crowd with splendid mu-
sic on the plaza, and the grand
event celebrating the completion
of the Mexican National railroad
from Monterey to Matamoros, and
the Cinco de Mayo festivities was
begun in a blaze of glory. A very
large and enthusiastic crowd wit
messed the coming in of the train,
and everybody recognizes that a
new era o. prosperity has dawned
for Matamoros and her people. To
day s program will be found in an
other column of THE HERALD.
THE HERALD acknowledges a
very pleasant call from 1t. Waite
Johnson, 10Th Infantry, stationed
at Fort Ringgold. From the gen
tleman it is learned that the deep
well which was contracted for at
Fort Ringgold has been bored to
a depth Of more than 1866 feet, but
no water has been found except a
vein which was struck at a depth
of some 900 feet. It was thought
the supply would not be sufficient
for the wants at the Fort, so the
drillers decided to go further On
reaching the present depth, an i'm
mense pressure was encountered
which forced a blue colored mud
into the casing, faster than it could
be removed, and Notwithstanding
the drillers worked for six weeks,
they were unable TO remove the
mud. It IS not known whether the
pressure IS caused by gas, oil, or
some other element, and from pres
ents prospects the we'll will have to
be abandoned
As an evidence Of the marching
ability of our soldier boys it IS on
y necessary to mention that Co.
L, 10Th Infantry, left Santa Maria
at 7 O'Clock last Wednesday morn
ing, and at $50 the same afternoon
arrived IN Brownsville, a distance
OF IS miles. The boys were in good
marching trim or arrival and were
good for many miles more.
