UNDERGROUND IRRIGATION

Details could not be learned, but it
is understood that several hundred
farmers will be secured who want
lands in the dry belt of New Mexico,
and the company will assist them in
placing the Virgins system in opera
tion. The homeseeker will have sew
eral years In which to pay for the
irrigation plant. Professor Virgins,
the inventor, stated to-day that an ef-
fort would be made at once to install
several sub irrigation stations In New
Mexico, and that during the coming
yea" MS new system would b. in gen

FOOD FATAL TO
STARVING MAN
Miner Chokes to Death on First Mouth
fuI-lnitiaI Grave in New Mining
Camp of SyEvanite.

Sylvanite, N. NJ, Nov. 30.-The first
death in the new mining camp of Syl-
vanite was perhaps the strangest of
any in a Western mining camp, COW
camp or sheep camp. There have been
shootings, lynchings and ordinary nat
ural deaths that marked the entrance
of the reaper into new town, but
Sylvanite has them all beaten. A fam
ished prospector wandered into Syl-
vanite the other day. tottering from
exhaustion and emaciated from lack OF
tourishment. He was taken to the only
restaurant in the mushroom town. The
first mouthful of beefsteak, the first
food to pass his lips for days, choked
him to death.
This fact is vouched for by j. B.
Roerig, secretary of the Joe Dandy
Mining company. Mr.. Roerig also
saws that the new camp does not ap-
pear to be the genuine article. No
shipments of ore are being made, al
though there seems to be plenty OF
s'yeins" and more than enough men to
work them. Automobile hire from
Hachita is IS per person and trunk
costs 81 extra, and automobile is the
only conveyance from the railroad.

VISITING SANTA FE.

F. L. Vandegrift, of Kansas City,
travelling correspondent of the Santa

as publicity agent Of the Sixteenth No
tional Irrigation Congress, is in
Santa Fe today. Mr.. Vandegrift is
probably the best known man in Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Colorado and New
Mexico, and his articles on the agri-
cultural resources and possibilities
Of these states and this territory have
done an immense amount Of good. Mr.
vandegrift is here for the purpose OF
gathering data on Santa Fe county
which is to be included in an article
for the January number Of "The
Earth Santa Fe publication OF
which he is the editor. The article
in question will be entitled From
Ration Pass to Ell Paso," and will in
clude minute description Of each
county traversed by the Santa Fe sys
tenn, except the Pecos valley and the
Belen cutoff, which have already beer
told about. Later the article will ap

value as an advertising medium car
readily be seen. Mr.. Vandegrift IS 9
writer of note and is enthusiastic
about his work which probably ac
counts for his great success.

Kansas City, Nov. 30.-The Nation
al Land and Sub-Irrigation company,
with $3,000,000 capital stock has just
been organized under the laws of Ari-
zona. 1t is proposed to install sew
eral demonstration stations in New
Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, and in
general develop the new system of ir-
rigation by means OF ordinary drilled
wells. The promoters declare that
from ten to twenty-five acres can be
successfully irrigated from well
that will supply fifty to one hundred
barrels in twenty-four hours. They
maintain that water in sufficient guam
tity can be found almost anywhere in
the arid and semi-arid belt at from
fifty to three hundred feet depths,
and that sub-irrigation will revolu.
tionize the dam and ditch system now
in use.
The new organization acquired the
patents recently issued to Professor
John L. Virgins, Of Kansas City. His
new tile-making machine, which makes
and lays a continuous cement tile, is
said to be one Of the greatest inven-
tions Of the age, and will make from
10000 to 10000 feet Of tile per day

LAST WEEKS STORM
A RECORD, BREAKER
Total Depth Of Snow Which Fell Meas.
ured 14.4' fKches-Precipitation
1.09 Inches.

Last weeks snowstorm in Santa Ft
and other parts of New Mexico wa.
a record-breaker in more ways thar
one. The total depth of snow during
the entire storm, according to the of
ncial figures Of the United States
weather Bureau in this city, meas
ured LA inches and melted it meas
ured 1.09 inches.
The snow that fell on Saturday was
light and gave only 0.32 of an inch OF
water. The snow that fell Saturday
night was very wet and heavy and
measured 6.4 inches. 1t gave 0.GS of
an inch OF water. The storm of Fri
day night gave 0.o9 Of an inch of water
and the depth of snow measured 1.5
inches.
During Sunday afternoon and even
ing the wind had drifted and settled
the snow somewhat and at G o'clock
last night the average depth on the
ground was 1876 inches.
The normal precipitation for Novem-
Der is OTIS of an inch and the total for
the present month is LA inches or
OBS of an inch above the average for
sc years.
As will be seen by the above fig
ures, more precipitation occurred dur
ing this storm than usually falls dur
ing the entire month of November
the total during the storm Of Saturday
and Sunday having been 1.09 inches.
The greatest snowfall during any
November. the record extending to the
winter Of 1SS4-S5. heretofore was so
inches, and occurred on November 25,
1885.
This was the heaviest snowfall on
record to that date. The next heaviest
was that of October q and %, 1906,
when 1873 inches of snow fell. Thus
it can readily be seen that last weeks
storm eclipsed all other records by
four inches.

DEDUCTIONS NOT WAR.
RANTED BY TESTIMONY
Oscar c. Snow Will Present Proof tc
Grand Jury to Sustain What
He Did Say.

The New Mexican a few days age
quoted from the Ell Paso Herald, what
purported to be stenographic notes
of the testimony of Oscar c. Snow oil
the Mesilla Valley, as to political con
ditions in the Mesilla Valley, given
before the Roosevelt Country Life
Commission, then in session at Ell
Paso, Texas. The New Mexican re-
ferred to the high standing of Mr.
Snow as a business man and citi
zen, and expressed the belief that Mr.
Snow was not correctly quoted and
that the Ell Paso Herald had drawn
the wrong conclusions from his testi
mony.
This latter view is affirmed by a
letter from Mr.. Snow to the editor OF
this paper, Mr.. Snow erring, however
in stating that The New Mexican con.
demned him, when as a matter of fact
it praised him and expressed the view
that he had been incorrectly quoted
merely condemning the testimony at.
tributed to him. Mr.. Snow writes:
Editor New Mexican:
Dear Sir: Ny statements to the
Country Life Commission were quail
field to this section of New Mexico
The deductions drawn by the FL Paso
Herald were not warranted by the
testimony given by me. 1t will be my
pleasure to present to the next grand
jury the proof to substantiate the
charges made by me, before this com.
mission. AT that time | shall expect
you to be as ample in your apology as
you have been in your condemnation.
yours very truly,
