THE WASTE is IMMENSE.
Mayor Hinkle Tells of the Artesian
Situation in the Pecos Valley.

]. F. Hinkle, of Roswell. who a
been attending the meetings of the
Territorial Board of Equalization in
this city. says the Santa Fe New
Mexican. has the following to say
concerning legislation desired for
the protection of the artesian water
district along the Pecos river:
There is no liner water in the
world than comes. from the Pecos
artesian section which is about six
ty miles long and eight or ten miles
wide. The water is clear as a crys-
tai and it's quality first rate in every
now flowing and ~others are being
brought into existence daily. Some
of them aroduce 400 gallons per
minute. the combined outflow being
enormous and almost incredible.
These wells are being increased con-
stantly for advertising purposes sole
ly. If a certain amount of AND has
an artesian well or two upon it, it
can be sold more quickly and for a
more satisfactory price than it other
wise could. The wells that have APP
peared for some time past have been
brought forth by land owners who
have, apparently been anxious to dis
pose of their interests and abandon
the section. They have used the ar
tesian well as a medium TO good for
into the future and see what might
be the result of their operations.
"A great many of us in the water
belt are becoming alarmed al his
sort of thing. We fear the increase
of wells will eventually weaken the
source and that We will be wanting
water when we cannot get it. At
present the water waste is immense.
1t should not be. New Mexico ought
to have learned by this time that ev-
cry drop of water within her pre-
cincts is valuable and should be pre-
served or utilized to the best of ad-
vantage. Enough water has already
much good had it been directed thro'
proper channels by proper persons.
To h casual eye. h conditions look
everlasting and some people think
it absurd that we should pay any at
tention to the running awaE of water
1t might be that the wells would new
er go dry and hat others could be
produced every day and still there
would be enough water in the bowels
of the earth to supply all. Again.
this might be just The reverse and
the wells might be discharging then
final waters now.
we have decided TO take no chanc
in the matter and we want protec-
ton if at all possible. A bill has
prepared and the same will be
presented by councilman C. L.. Bal
lard for the legislatures attention at
the coming session. The main import
of the measure is to ascertain wheth-
er it is possible to prevent land own
ers from bringing forth wells and al
the water to go to waste. 1t
may be that such would be unlawful.
we want the legilature to decide
and we will be satisfied with its op-
inion. AS it is. we are very much
and the matter cannot be
disposed of too soon TO suit us"
