ment engineers, can tell whether the
artesian flow is decreasing or increa-
sing. No one knows how much wa
ter certain well flows, not even the
owner. Each man, as soon as the flow
is reached. allows the well to continue
its flow without interruption, scatter
ing the water all over the surrounding
country. Furthermore the waste of
water from these wells in any part of
the artesian belt is a menace to the
artesian flow in other parts, especial
ly in the upper Pecos Valley where
it is considerably higher than in the
lower valley. Wells in the neighbor-
hood of Artesia are four or Ave times
as deep as wells in the neighborhood
of Roswell and also flow four or five
times as much water A continuous
waste OF water in the lower valley
will tend to absolutely stop the flow
in the upper valley. There are now
two or three hundred wells flowing
in the Pecos Valley. Others are being
bored all over the valley at the rate
probably of five or six wells each
much is wasted in twenty-four hours
if even half or fourth of these wells

hundred TO two or three thousand gal
Ions per minute, depending upon the
locality, the size and depth of the
wells.

wells is comparatively a new method
of irrigation, and in the Pecos Valley
is pursued absolutely without any
system or restriction, each irrigator

irrigation proposition and of record

merous other matters of importance

houses of the town. This house was
| the ancient adobe building that stood
on the alley back of the Joyce-Pruit
store and was washed down during
the last flood. 1t was built before the
present streets were laid out and the
surveyors lines threw it on the al
ley. Judge Lea at that time owned

stood
Not only did Judge Lea serve as the
first clerk of Chaves county, for a pc

of New Mexico, a great many of the
original deeds are in his handwriting.
