ON IRRIGATION BY PUMPING
More Land Will Eventually Be Iri-
ga'ed by Pumping than from
Streams.

A plan of irrigation frequently
advocated by the Chieftain has
the endorsement of at least one
irrigation expert, who is spoken
of by the Albuquerque Citizen as
follows:
>" The Rio Grande valley can
be irrigated by means of pump
ing plants as easy as rolling off
a log"
This was the rather illumin-
ative manner in which, Judge
Frank II. Short, a prominent
lawyer of Fresno, Cal, express
ed himself as believing that
pumping plants can be used in
the valley with success. 1 a.
Judge Short is an authority
on irrigation laws, and repre-
sents several important irriga-
tion companies of Fresno Val
ley, Cal, at the Sixteenth Ma
tional Irrigation con gress $.
Judge Short is a delegate to the
congress by commissions both
from Fresno county and the
state of California.
Judge Short delivered an adj
dress on irrigation laws before
the Fifteenth National Irrigation
congress held at Sacramento.
His presence here at this con-
gress, however, is that of a del
egate looking after the interests
of California. His principal
client in the Fresno valley is the
Fresno Canal company, culti-
waiting 1000 acres of raisiu vines
and marketing between $4,000, =
OOJ and So, 900, 600 of raisins am
nually. He said that experience
had taught him to believe that
more land would eventually be
reclaimed by means of pumping
than by irrigation from streams.
lie said that it was practical to
pump for citrus fruits to a depth
of 100 feet. When told that
water could be had in the RiC
Grande valley a depth OF few
feet, Judge Short compared the
proposition to the log adage."

THE SCHOOL OF MINES
Some Evidences of the Valuable
Work Now Being Done at That
Institution.
THE FINE MINERAL EXHIBIT
That Is Attracting Much Attention
at the National Industrial Expo
sition at Albuquerque.

1t is gratifying to note that
there is strong evidence that the
valuable work recently done and
now being done at the New
Mexico School of Mines is be-
ginning to receive the apprecia-
tion and recognition that il de-
serves. The fine mineral exhib-
it from the School in charge of
Capt. G. II. Brown and Profess
sors X. V. Smith and A. K.
Adams at the International In
dustrial exposition at Albuquer-
que is attracting a great deal of
attention as is shown from the
following very complimentary
notice from the Albuquerque
Journal:
"One of the best things in the
mining building is the exhibit of
the School of Mines of New
Mexico, at Socorro, and from the
mines of Socorro county, the
most prominent of which are the
Kelly and Graphic. These
mines are the most noted zinc
and lead mines of the South
west. The Magdalena district
is the second largest zinc mining
district in the country, standing
next to Joplin, Mo. These
mines also run heavy in copper.
The ores from these mines are
all shipped to Coffeyville, Kans.,
where they are smelted into zinc
oxides, or white zinc and used
mostly for the manufacture of
mineral paint. This exhibit is
in charge of the School of Mines,
and is a fine demonstration of
the very valuable work being
done by the school. One of the
attractive features of this exhib-
it is the very beautiful dressed
skins, which decorate the walls.
The Socorro exhibit also con-
tains displays from the gold and
silver mines at Rosedale, n. NJ.
These properties have attracted
great deal of attention from
mining men within the past
year or two. The Rosedale
mine is now operating a stamp
mill and is treating about fifty
tons of ore per day. There is
also large collection from the
copper-silver mines of the Mog-
ollon district. These properties
have received a great deal of at
tention from mining men within
two years. There is considerable
activity in this district now, and
with the return of copper to
better price development work
will be resumed on large
scale"

MIGUEL OLGUIN RUNS AMUCK
On a Jamboree, Smashes Windows,
Indulges in Holdup, Commits
other Acts of Deviltry.

Miguel Olguin has broken out
again. 1t was not long ago that
he was convicted of burglary and
larceny and as a consequence
served a term in the penitentiary.
Even since then he has been
guilty of petty thieving, but
Wednesday night his criminal
disposition took a more serious
turn. 1t was about three o'clock
in the morning when he went on
the warpath. He unsnapped all
the reins on q. +. Cooks team
standing hitched to the bus and
started the team away. He
entered Fosters restaurant on
the west side of the plaza, leveled
his gun at the boy in charge, and
compelled him to hand over the
only cash remaining in the till,
thirty cents. Olguin then gave
his attention to Winkler's grocery
store. He smashed a window
pane and crawled in, but left the
premises empty-handed when he
heard some body coming. He
tried to enter Avery'S tent in the
back yard. Mr.. Avery discovered
him, went in search of the city
marshal, but found Lou Gatlin,
who went on the wild mans
trail and fired two shots over his
head to scare him into stopping
but only made him run faster.
1t is supposed to have been
Olguin who also broke the front
windows of half a dozen of the
business houses on Manzanares
avenue and the plaza. 1t was
City Marshal Alderete who finally
found the culprit curled up in a
corner on a vacant lot and land
ed him in the county bastilC
where lie is doubtless dreaming
dreams Of five or ten years in the
territorial peniteutiary.

COMRADE PATRICK HIGGINS
His Career as Sketched by His Com
rade in Arms, Samuel C. Meek.

Socorro, n. NJ, Sept. 30, 1908.
Editor Chieftain;
You may be able to appreciate
the feelings and sentiments of
an old veteran of the great Re-
bellion when he sees his COM
rades who touched elbows with
him from 1861 to 1866, like the
autumn leaves, falling one by
one.
You may readily believe me
that he sees the handwriting, as
it were, on the wall, and is fully
aware that his sojourn here will
soon terminate.
He has been called upon to ac-
company his old comrade, Pat
rick Higgins, to his last resting
place until the last grand review
day, when the trumpet will
sound the last call for all COM
rades to assemble and pass in re-
view before the great commander
of the universe.
Comrade Patrick Higgins was
born at Limerick, Ireland, on the
18th day of March, 1886, making
his age y years, o months and
II days. His early years were
spent as a sailor upon the sea.
He finally settled in Canada and
from there, in the year 1882,
went to California, where he
was occupied delving and dig
ging for gold in 1861 near Los
Angeles, California, when Gov
ernor Dowerey made his call for
troops. The first Regiment of
Infantry had been recruited and
mustered into service at Preside
Barracks, San Francisco, and
had heen ordered down on the
southern overland mail route
and TO intercept the Texan brig
ade under General Sibley, who
was sent to invade and capture
the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona, and, if successful,
to rush through to California,
which was about evenly divided
as to the issue that brought
about the war.
There is where Comrade Hig'
gins enlisted, at Los Angeles
on the 9th day of October, 1861
| was enlisted at Nevada City
California, on the lst day o
August, 1861. Comrade Hig
gins, together with several 9th
ers. was attached to X Compa
ny afterwards, was transferred
to b Company, and in December
1861, reenlisted as a veteran, t

HOW SOCORRO DOES THINGS
Over 81, 900 Indebtedness of Fair
Association PAID by Subscription
in Two Days.

Socorro is winning an enviable
for doing things, do
ing them promptly and we'll.
Here is an illustration of how
that reputation is being won.
At a meeting of the fair associa-
tion Monday evening it was
found to the surprise of all pres
ent that last weeks fair had en-
tailed an indebtedness of some
thing more than thousand dol
lars. This was not pleasant
state of affairs to contemplate,
but plans were at once laid to
raise the money with which to
pay all outstanding bills. The
result was that in a day and a
half Messrs. Savage, Leeson, and
Melton Torres raised almost
enough by the sale of the asso-
cations stock to discharge the
Indebtedness. and the end is not
yet. Socorro business men are
not so slow in the matter of put
ting up money to promote a pub
lie enterprise.

avail himself of the veteran
bounty of $4,000.
He was assigned to b compa-
ny of the First Veteran Infan-
try of California Volunteers. /
was a member of c company
and reenlisted in the said b
company of which h. c. Patter-
son of my old company c became
orderly sergeant.
You will see that h. c. Pat
tersou, myself and Patrick Hig-
gins served our second enlist
ment in Company b First Vet
eran Infantry California Volun-
teers together. Patterson and my
self were mustered out at Los
PinoS, New Mexico. Sept. Is,
1866, just ~ years ago, while
Comrade Higgins had received
an injury at Fort Wingate and
could not follow the company to
be mustered out at Los Pinos,
but after he was able, was sent
to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where,
on the Goth day of October, 1866,
he was mustered out; and by his
death on the 10Th inst. leaves
myself and Comrade Dick Pat
terson to march the lonely road
together. Therefore | am led to
ask:
Which way. my dear old comrade,
With that step we call the route?
Why, didn't you hear, my comrade,
That I'd just been mustered out?
You see it came so sudden,
The order from our great chief,
And am hurrying along, my comrade,
To join the next relief.
The order said the boys were camped
Just beyond yon turbid stream.
In the beautiful valley of Eden.
Where the tree of life stands green,
Where run the healing waters
From their fount forevermore,
And am hurrying on, my comrade,
To reach the other shore.
1t also said that the boatman
Who would rowe me DER the tide,
| Was dear old comrade of mine,
Would land me safe on the other side,
| To cast all fears behind me,
To be brave, as in days of yore.
That's why I've taken the route step
To reach the other shore.
They've laid that poor worn out body
OF mine beneath the sod, in the clay,
To rest in peace and quietude
Till the great grand review day,
And that will be when times no more
And all things have an end,
An angel will sound his trumpet
For the comrades to attend.
That's why I've taken the route step
And I'm hurrying on my way.
My time is up, I'm mustered out,
You see, can't delay;
For the boatman knows I'm coming,
And is waiting on the shore,
With a host of dear old comrades,
To help him rowe me DER.

TO produce SuCn corn as is now
on exhibition down there. Some
of the stalks must have measur-
ed at least ten feet in height
and the ears were worthy to
grow on such splendid stalks.
There we're also fine specimens
of sorghum, tomatoes, pumpkins
and other vegetable productions
and / am glad to say that some
of them were grown by the new
system of dry farming which
with irrigation, will solve the
problem of the arid parts of the
countr, and will make the des-
ert bloom like the Rose of Shar-
on.
EVERYONE is A BOOSTER.
IL might try to describe the
ladies' needle work but | know |
would only make a muddle of it.
This could be done only by some
of the ladies themselves, so you
must take the will for the deed,
and let me out of it. One OF the
best signs of the times heard
was that every one just swears
by Socorro county. 1t is the
Garden of Eden to them and that
is the spirit that makes a county
or a state. Ny only trouble was
that there was only one of me
and that | could not be in more
than one place at time 1t
was perfectly painful to me to be
compelled TO refuse the hospita-
BILE invitations / received from so
many of those great hearted peo-
pie but there is limit to even
such invitations and | soon
reached it, very much to my re-
gret.
old GLORY" MUCH IN EVIDENCE.
And high above all, over all,
mingling with all, beautifying
all, on the houses, the flagStaffs,
and the peoples clothing, in
Gods golden sunlight CLEANED
the radiant colorS of Old Glory.
God bless it wherever it purifies
the atmosphere with its pres
ence. If these people are not
fit for all the privileges of Amer
lean citizenship then there are
no people in all the Union fit for
them. So long as the citizens
of Socorro county can count such
men as Bursum, Martin, Savage,
Sweet, Abeytia, Brown, Griffith,
Drake and many others as good
and true among their leading
men, their future is secure.
Permit me in conclusion to
say although the city was as
they say, wide OPEN and was
crowded to the limit with pleas
ure-seeking people, | did not see
one sign of liquor, nor did |
hear the slightest symptom of
disorder of any kind and so for
the present goodbye to the wom-
en-, men and children of Socorro
county, may Gods choicest bless
ings be with them now and for
ever.

A Correction.

A correction is to be made in
the list of premiums awarded in
the fancy work department at
the fair last week as published
in the Chieftain. The work on
the waist credited to Mrs. Jos.
f. Smith was done by Miss Mary
Jackson and it was for Miss
Jackson, therefore, that the
premium was intended.
