 Five Miles of Railroad.

The dam of the Bluewater De- velopment Co.,, at Blue Water, New Mexico, broke Monday, re- leasing lake of water three miles long, a mile broad and some twenty-five feet deep.
 A wall of water twenty feet high rushed down a twelve-mile canyon and spread out on the fer tile Bluewater valley, doing thou sands of dollars damage to farms and houses. As far as leaned no lives were lost.
 The loss to the settlers will be a half million dollars, and the loss to the irrigation company a quarter of million.
 This is one of the largest irri- gation enterprises in New Mexico. Five miles of the Santa Fe track was washed out and trains were detoured by way of Deming on the Southern Pacific, and thence from Phoenix to Ash Fork on the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix.
