From c. c. Byram. who arrived

THE HERALD learns some interest
ing facts concerning a large ar
tesian well proposition which the
gentleman has in charge for the
owners Of the Sant@ J land in
Mexico which emb1zces more than
1000, 600 acres, land he has just
/, brought in. flowing well with
3H.Gt flow of 81 gallons per
i lite, which has increased as the
Sand washed out, no strainer being
used. The promoters are highly
elated over the success of the well,
which means the reclamation of
this vast body of land, as the entire
tract will be punctured with ante
sian wells. Some years ago the
company lost about 5000 head of
horses for lack of water, and feels
that a repetition of this loss is
practically impossible with the
water proposition solved.
