WESTERN NEW MEXICO
Surveyor John II. Walker Returns
From Official Visit to Rio Ar.
riba and Sandoval Counties.

John H. Walker, United States depu.
ty surveyor, with headquarters in this
city, one of the most experienced and
best in his line in the southwest and
who has followed the, business of max
ing United States surveys for thirteen
years past, has recently returned from
a four months surveying tour through
western New Mexico. To a reporter
of the l>ew Mexican Mr.. Walker said
Most of tie time spent in making
surveys on the Rio Gallina in Rio Arri-
ba County, and the Rio Puerto and
Sandoval Counties. surveyed three
townships there running township and
section lines. 1t was difficult work
as these townships are very noun
famous. make quite number of
private surveys while in the field and
also run lines for reservoir sites.
These are situated mostly north of
Cabezon and several were made for
Juan Domingo, who owns considerable
land there. The reservoirs are situat-
ed generally on desert land claims
made by actual settlers. | surveyed
between fifty and sixty homestead and
desert land locations which will be
used by native people who are either
living upon them now or will settle
there. lind that they have awaken
ed to the necessity of securing water
for irrigation and have concluded to
secure reservoir sites wherever posi-
BILE, construct reservoirs and use the
water which they will impound for ir-
rigation and stock purposes. Ameri-
can settlers are not yet found where
| was.
"The range is in first class condi-
ti0n and live stock is prime, both as
to sheep and cattle. Sheep are in
preponderance there, but there are al
so many cattle. The people are very
prosperous, in fact more so than !
have seen any people during my thir-
teen years work in the Territory.
They expect to have a good winter
as there is plenty of grass and water
on the ranges and in the mountains
for the live stock. There Is more
land than ever before under irrigation
and cultivation and the crops this
year were of the best in every way.
The section refer to is located about
eighty mics west of Santa Fe, and
contains from thirty to forty square
miles. Wherever 1t is possible or it
looks that water can be developed a
homestead or desert land entry Is
now being made, and within a short
time all the sites for reservoirs in
that section will be owned"

Local Wounds Must Be Healed Before
Amnesty is Granted.
Governor Taft believed that it is
particularly necessary that the vexed
local situation in Cienfuegos shall be
settled before issuance of an amnesty
decree since he has determined to in.
clude in the amnesty all persons
charged with complication in the
Villenduas murder. He holds that if
he yields to the opportunities of many
residents of Cienfuegos and allows
those charged with the crime to be
brought to trial it would result in the
event of their acquittal by judge be-
longing to the moderate party, in
reopening the quarrel over the Incl

ever.

CARD FROM MR.. BONEBR1KE.
Explains the Suit OF Bank Against
Midland Coal Company.
Topeka. Kas June % 1qoe


To the Editor Of the State Journal:
In your issue of yesterday you pub
lish communication from Pittsburg
kas.. relative to a suit of the Central
National bank against the Midway
Coal and Mining company and w. J.
Lanyon. in reference to duplicate stock
to the amount of $4,000 of the Pitts
burg and Midway Coal and Mining
company.
From the communication referred
to. I quote this: suit is now brought
to demand the officials of the coal
company to refund $4,000 paid for
this fictitious stock with per cent
interest
The bank never bought this stock:
never owned it; never paid a penny
for it. It was simply up as collateral
along with 100000 of other collateral
for DevIin loans, and we now propose
to make the company make that good
to the Devlin estate and therefore to
US. There is no contingency possible
under which the Central National
bank could lose more than $1,000
and that would simply be a credit on
the liabilities of c. J. Devlin. II NE
recover the value Of the stock it
would be the value to the estate OF
Devlin. and incidentally to the Central
National bank. The Central National
bank never dealt in stock of any kind.

for new work are around $1.92 and 1.94

higher than the contract let here to the
