THE ARTESIAN
WELL is WELL.
The Work Of Drilling Going
on Nicely.

The work on the well being
aInk with the hope Of bring
Ing artesian water to the rich
soil of the Mimbres valley IS
Progressing effectively. The dis
tance down is nov over 300
feet and from present indica-
lions the drilling will now con-
tlnue without interruption or de-
lay.
Up to the present writing the
nature of the ground penetrated
has been clay and quicksand and
the work in consequence has been
Handicapped and not very good
Roadway has been made. Now,
however, the easing has been
Changed to ten inch and the earth
being gone through is such as to
Insure much faster drilling. So
far all is well with the well and
the goose hangs high.

IRRIGATION
COMPANY
Being Formed by Local
and Outside Capital.

A company is being formed by
leading local, and we understand
some outside capital, to take
water from the river for irri-
cation purposes. A ditch eleven
miles long will be dug and the
other accessory work executed.
The site of the. work lies some
four miles east Of Deming. By
this new enterprise q large acre
age of land can be irrigated and
also a large body of land now
subject to overflow from the riy-
er will be reclaimed.
The plans for the new irriga-
ton system are not fully con-
summated as yet, but the move
is evidently a go and we hope
will meet with successful issue.

Theory Now Secuted.

Our officers have come to the
conclusion that G. G.. Robinson,
who is supposed to have lost his
life some three weeks ago by
getting caught in the treacher-
Gus quicksands of the Rio MINI
bres, still breathes the pure
ozone and basks in the glorious
at some unknown part
of the far-stretching West.
1t seems that Robinson's do
nestle life was not the most ro-
on this mundane sphere,
and they theoretically figure with
some little evidence caught on
the wing that Robinson still pre-
cludes the step Of shuffling off
this mortal coil.
Al the time Of Robinson's
supposed drowning the river
was cutting very little ice as a
flowing stream, and it hardly
seems possible that the sad
waves would have been instru-
mental in causing him t) I'LL a
watery grave. Leaving the
wagon in mid.stream and the
team tied on the bank to a lone
WAS doubtless but a
ruse on the part of Robinson.

Karatagh, in Russian Tur-

Tashkend. Russian Turkestan, Oct 3D.
Inc little town of Karatagh. in the Hus-
sar district of Bokhara, has been over
whelmed and completely DESTROYED by a
landslide that followed the earthquake
of Oct. Il, According to the latest re-
ports of the disaster, a majority of the
inhabitants of karatagh lost their lives
The first reports of the casualties were
exaggerated, the death list being placed
as high as 15,Oco. Karatagh had about
$500 jewellers, and there is reason TO be-
leve that about 1,50l were buried alive
Among those who survived the disaster
are the governor of Karatagh and his
mother.
Karatagh is remotely situated, and il
takes q full week for news to get out
from there, but, according to one courier
who has come through, an enormous sec
ton Of the karatagn mountain, which
practically hung over the town. broke
foose and thundered down upon the viii
lage. which is almost completely buried.
st. Petersburg. Oct. 3o.-Up to a late
hour tonight no further news of the
Karataeh disaster had been received
here. 1t Is thought IN ST. Petersburg that
the magnitude of the disaster has been
greatly exaggerated and that the number
of victims Is more likely, 1850 than 1900
persons. as at first reported. Karatagh
is a small town in the Hussar district
1t is noted for its rnanufs cture of sabres,
summer resort by the people Of HusSar,
somewhat larger town, and capital Of
the district OF Hussar. Karatagh is To-

for His Wife.

New York. Oct. 3O.-That Herman Pot
ter. the DOylestown. Pa. insurance brok-
eT, whose body was found in his room I'm
the Waldorf-Astoria last night, committed
suicide was the conclusion reached by the
police today The detectives are con-
WINGED of this by the discovery OF poison
in Mr.. Potters room. by the statements
of the employees of the hotel, and by Mr..
Potter's note to his WIFE, in which he
coolly made arrangements for winding
up his affairs. The bruises on the body
are slight and old.
A letter left by Potter for his wife
was written in a fine hand and appar-
emily without nervousness or anything to
show that the writer was dying. Certain
statements in the letter and the finding Of
a small jar which contained the rem
nants of powder led the police 10 express
the opinion that Potter had committed
suicide.
In the letter Potter bids his wife and
children goodbye and tells his wife
where TO find certain documents relating
10 his business. which were in his desk
at his home He also. tells of an attack
on him by three thugs last Saturday
night. two of whom he knocked down, but
the third, he says, managed to sandbag
him and render him unconscious. and
while in this condition he was robbed.
