Work the uew building is be-
ing pushed. The brick and other
material has all arrived and was
put on the ground last week.
The work was somewhat delay

not arriving on time, but it is an
assured fact that the building
will be completed according to

enlarged before the season is

enquiries being made by people
who disire to come here and set

schools are in the hands of a
man fitted in every way to make
the schools the best in the coun-

Professor George is well quail

superintendent of the city public
schools, he is in his proper ele-

made.
The New Mexico Baptist Col

of learning in the Territory.
While the attendance is not as

ing my well and pumping plant,
there with gladly comply, that
others situated as l, may see the
possibilities before them, and he
encouraged to develop the wOn-
derful water supply latent at
their very feet.
Our ranch is situated about
one and three quarters miles
south west of Alamogordo and
Joins the School Section on its
west side.
At the outset it became appa-
rent that we must develop a
water supply for purpose Of irri-
CATION and domestic use. We
therefore drilled a seven inch
we'll, cased it with steel casing,
and installed an inexpensive bnt
efficient plant to pump the water.
After a good deal of experimea-
tai work we found that the casing
had been driven too low, to 169
#. from the surface, and had
chOked off the large supply of
water. A charge Of nitro powder
placed at a depth of 80 #. and
exploded opened up what l be-
lieve to be an inexhanstable
supply of good water at that
point. This water raised to
within % #. from the surface of
the ground.
The pump was first tried an the
short (12 inch) stroke and at only
|23 strokes minute. This COM
b!nation furnished us 25 gallons
minute. In thirty hours steady
pumping there was no apparent
decease in the amount of water
coming in, the pump always
throwing the full volume of its
stroke.
The test was such a success
hat we increased the stroke to
l6inches. Eight hours pumping
pn the longer stroke has convinc-
ID me that l can not only increase
he stroke to 20 inches, but can
Ilso increase the speed to at least
, strokes per minute. The last
