NEW SURVEYS ON
JEMEZ RESERVE
Methods Adopted In Coast to Coast
Line How Work Ia
Done.

Albuquerque, N, NJ, July 27.-United
states surveyors have left this city
to take up the important work of com
pletlng geological survey between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. There
are two parties of them and they are
now working In the Jemez Forest Re.

labors the second transcontinental line
Will have been made, the first having
been run through the northern part
of the country by the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey under the
direction Of the Department of Com.
merce and Labor.
The surveyors are now at work on
the continuation Of the line run out
of Albuquerque a year ago from the
corner of Railroad Avenue and First
Street This line was run through
the Jemez and Galinas Mountains to
Durango, Colorado, where It connects
with a line made by the Reclamation
Service. II IS expected that this sec
ond line will be closed up six months
hence. When the survey il completed
one OF the government civil engineers
will start from Los Angeles and desig-
nate the official elevations on all of
the federal bench marks to the Colo
rado line. This second transcontinen.
tai survey follows the Southern Pacific
Railroad to Ell Paso, from which point
It proceeds north through to Albuquer-
que along the Atchinson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway. thence across the
country to Cuba, New Mexico. From
Cuba it goes to Lumberton, and then
to Durango.
When the first transcontinental sur
vey was finished it was found that
there was an error Of ten feet in the
elevation which made it unreliable.
The expectations are that the line now
being surveyed will close in accurately
as the French metric system which
was used before has been abandoned
in favor of the United States measure
nents by yards and feet. The new
system has only been in use a few
months but it is believed to be more
than the old system.

GUADALUPE COUNTY
OLD SETTLER
E. j. Wilcox Of Fort Sumner Here en-
Route to Northern New
Mexico.

E. J. Wilcox, of Fort Sumner, GuaIa-
lupe County, arrived in the city last
evening. Mr.. Wilcox is a prosperous
stockman in that section and one of
the old timers, having gone into live
stock raising there twenty.siX years
ago Mr.. Wilcox is travelling overland
and will visit Taos and Rio Arriba
Counties at mis- leasure, and he may
locate somewhere in that region. He
has sold his cattle, finding that set
tiers east of the PecOs River in what
is now Roosevelt County are becom-
ing too numerous for the comfort Of
the range cattle raisers and sheep
growers. He has considerable real
estate in the vicinity of old Fort Sum-
ner, to which he will hold on, believ-
ing that in two or three years it will
bring him handsome figures. He re-
ports a great deal of water from Epris
east; the county looks well, settlers
have come and are arriving in that
section in great numbers and a good
crop OF cereals, feed stuff and vege'
tables will be the rule this season.
West of the Pecos River towards the
Estancia Valley there has not been as
much rain as east of there. Live
stock is II. ine shape and many lake
beds generally dry at this time of the
year, are full Of water assuring a plen-
tiful supply for the remainder Of the
summer. Grass is more plentiful and
more nutritious than he has seen it
during his lengthy residence in Guada-
lupe County. Mr.. Wilcox is we'll known
to the old timers in this city having
had considerable business here in
years past. He visited Santa Fe ten
years ago and is very much pleased
with its advance and progress since
then. He left at noon today overland
for the Espanola Valley.

Accounts of Financial Off.
GERS Examined and Found
in Good Shape.

Charles V. Stafford, travelling auditor
of New Mexico, returned last night
from an official visit of almost two
weeks to the counties of San Miguel,
Colfax and Quay, where he inspected
the accounts of the county treasurers
and examined the affairs Of banks
having public funds ON deposit. He
also took four days from the cares of
offlcialdom and attended the Elks' re-
union in Denver.
Il hardly know where to start in, F"

ed. San Miguel of course, is forging
ahead at the same steady conservative
gait. Everything is in first class
condition there and prosperity is the
order of the day.
In Colfax County, things are par
ticularly lively just now because of
The active construction work on the
st. Louis Rocky Mountain and Pacific
Railroad, which is being rapidly built.
A large force of men is employed and
consequently there is plenty of money
in circulation. spent several days
in Ration, and was pleased to see the
advancement being made there. There
is an air of general prosperity and
good times.
Goodly Increase in Assessed Valuation
There was a substantial increase
in the assessed valuation of property
in Colfax County, and few appeals.
The Santa Fe Railway Company, how
ever, has appealed the matter of the
raised assessment on its shops and
terminals at Ration This has not yet
come up for hearing, and l can not say
as to the merits of the case.
Quay County was of particular in
terest to me, since in way, it is
making the most rapid strides to the
front OF any county have visited for
some time. The country in the vicini.
ty of Tucumcari is literally filled with
homeseekers and eastern people gen
orally looking for locations on land
or for business enterprises.
Homestead and desert land entries
are being made at the rate of from
fifteen to twenty daily. During the
Two days | was there, twenty-three en-
tries were made one day and twenty
the next. Last Sunday took a drive
of seven miles through the farming
districts around Tucumcari and was
reminded of old Kansas when l saw
the luxuriant crops. Corn is higher
than my head and in full tassle.
Wheat and oats are the best I have
seen in years in the southwest and
promise big yield Fruit is equally
as abundant.
New Bank for Tucumcari.
In Tucumcari, considerable new
building is being done. A new bank
ing company has been organized and
will be ready for business as soon as
its building is fitted up. This company
is local enterprise, composed of SOL
i'd local business men who apparently
have the confidence and good will of
their neighbors.
II shall remain in Santa Fe for a
couple of days to attend to business
at my Office in the Capitol building,
after which will visit other colln-
ties"

At one house, which had been entire
" surrounded by the food. but not de-
stroyed, one saw people. on top of the
mass OF lava, entering the upper win

their household goods to transport
them to n place Of safety. One vine
yard was surrounded on three sides by
this dividing current, and it was DOS
sible to walk into il among the lines

to the miraculous intervention of their
Madonna, "Our Lady of the Shows /"
with whose sacred image they had con
fronted the all devOuring monster
sweeping implacably down on their ap-
parently doomed homes.
Step by step the priests and the faith
full, singing the litany, retreated as the
awful flood swept on, and still the
sound of singing and prayer rose above
the fearful roar OF the torrent and the
thunder Of the mountain above, belch-

heights. Yard by yard the lava swept
onward. Now palatial villa would be
surrounded by the torrent, crushed

One poor woman was thus watching
the fate of her earthly belongings from

She turned to fee, fell, rolled to the
