500 Gallons Per Minute

INDICATIONS GOOD
FOR SECOND FLOW

j. ). Eldridge, the engineer who
thirty-five miles southwest of Albu-
querque, which was announced in The
Citizen Saturday, returned to Suwanee
Saturday night.
Before departing Mr.. Eldridge dis
played a kodak picture of the well.
This picture shows the water gushing
from the top of a 6-inch pipe six
feet above the surface of the ground.
The capacity of the we'll is as yet un-
determined. but it is believed that It
Is flowing 500 gallons and could easily
be forced TO 1000 gallons minute.
Mr.. Eldridge said that the true
value Of the well could not oe ascer-
taned until it had been cleaned out
and a firm foundation established He
said that he believed the body of
water found is nothing short of an
underground sea, and to ascertain to
a small degree its extent, he has start
ed drilling "A second well a mile and
a half norteast of the first. Mean
while the first well will not be capped
but permitted to foW as freely as fl
will. If the second well encounters
flowing water, a third well will be
sunk.
The place where the gusher was
found is near the western edge Of
large plain, twelve miles wide, which
lies along the Rio Puerco and is al
most level. The first well is on one
Of the highest places on this plain
near a line of hills. The elevation Is
sufficient to carry water TO any part
Of 100000 acres of land. The second
well is being put down at lower
altitude.
\ number Of people left the city
yesterday and last night to see the
new gusher. II the water is found to
be suitable for irrigation purposes
and the supply Is ineXhaustible, the
finding Of IT means the retaining Of
several hundred thousand acres OF
land which will ultimately be of great

RESTRICTS RURAL
DELIVERY SERVICE
Is One of Many Acts Outlined BY
Various SendtorS---Mdil Order
Houses Favor and Country
Merchants Oppose En-
dCtment of Act.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 10-Sena-
tor Burnham, of New Hampshire. to-
day introduced in Congress his meas
ure to provide for the establishment
of a rural delivery parcels post, which
has been under preparation for sever
al months.
The bill has the endorsement of
President Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Meyer. 1t fixes the rate of
postage at five cents per pound for
the first pound and two cents for
each additional pound or fraction
thereof, up to eleven pounds.
1t provides that the rural delivery
service shall be restricted to such
parcels as are offered by merchants,
whose places of business are on a
rural delivery route and to residents
on such route.
One of Many.
The bill is regarded az the best of
the numerous ones suggested, a num-
Der of which have been drawn up.
Favoring the passage of a parcels
post system are the mail order houses
backed by thousands of their custom
ers. while opposing the enactment
of such a law are the small dealers
who allege that with such a system
in operation their businesses will be
| ruined.
The bill will undoubtedly have a
! stormy time in Congress as strong
influences will be brought to bear
both for and against 1t. Its hackers
site the success of the parcels post
! system in England and other Euro
pean countries as the best feature in
favor of establishing a similar sys-
tenn in the United States, and have
urged the enactment of a law wider
! in scope than the Burnham bill.
Western Congressman are being urged
by their constituents to oppose the
passage of the act.

The conspiracy charges which have
been brought against Ned w. Barton,
an examiner In the Patent Office. nave
focused attention on that office and
aroused speculation as to the probable
ity OF similar cases existing there, Dut
as Yet undiscovered.
Commissioner Moore was asked yes
terday whether he thought it possible
that other examiners in the various -
partments were in a position 10 dis
criminate against inventors for the BEN
eft of a favored few. He declared EN-
phatically that under the present sys-
TEN fraudulent practices could not be
continued without detection.
From other sources in the Patent
Office &c was learned that the intimate
knowledge Of every section OF his de-
pErtment made it possible for Commits
sioner Moore TO exercise a close super
vision. The detection of the alleged
conspiracy, which is the basis of the
charges brought against Barton and his
associates. was inevitable. according to
Commissioner Moore.

while / believe that Judge Taft will
ably and conscientiously perform the
duties OF the presidency, ! am never
theless of the opinion that the cleo

far better for the country, We shall
continue to fall short of our ideal of

people and for the people so long as
the money of those who enjoy special

William II. Taft on Thursday night
brought every member OF the club to
his feet in an address sounding the
keynote of prosperity for the country
for the next four years.
Every business man who Is obey
ing the law may go ahead with all the
energy in his possession; every enter.
prise which is within the statutes may
Proceed without fear of interference
