Estancia, N. M, April %, 1910.
To the Landholders of the Els J.
tancia Valley:
Gentlemen: After carefully
canvassing the situation, we
are convinced that to continue
with the Irrigation proposition
we have been presenting to
you for some time past would
practically result in such delay
on the part of the Western Con-
struction Company, and our
Company, both, as to very Sc
riously endanger the rossibil
ity of either company being
prepared to furnish water for
irrigation in the Valley on or
before April l, 1911. Such
result would be disastrous to
the entire valley, as is evident
on a moments consideration.
As we have repeatedly stat
ed in public meetings, our OBJ,
ject primarily is to sell cleo
trlcal power, and anything
which initiates against the
development of the Valley is
distinctly against our interest,
and vice versa. Therefore,
both in the interest of the pros.
perity of the Estancia Valley
and of our own Company, we
have decided to withdraw from
the field and enable the West

is believed here that the exten

raj from Torrance to Roswell anc

meet with the Texas & Pacific
road will be a fact before many
months.
Col. W. S. Hopewell of Albu-

W. E. Findley of New York, both
OF whom are interested financial
ly in the proposed extension; and
Charles L. Lantry, of New York
OF the construction company of
Lantry & Sharp, who will build
the road if it is built, were all
here with a proposal to extend
the road to this city and it is be-
lleved their visit has more sig
nificance than they themselves
are willing to admit. The visitors
stated that the object of the trip
was to show x-Governor Stone
OF Pennsylvania and Mr.. Findley
of New York, the resources of
the Roswell country as an outlet
for the New Mexico Central rail
road. The only remarks made on
their visit by the gentlemen were
that they were highly pleased
with vi at they had seen and
went away satisfied that this
country was all that was claimed
for it by the promoters of the
road.
1t is understood that there are
some of the biggest railroad mag
mates of the country back Of the
men now on the field. Whether
t is the Rock Island or Gould in
5erests is not known, but the
visit to Roswell seems to indi-
cate that it is the latter, as the
'oad from here to the Texas &
Pacific would place the Goulds
n direct connection with the
central New Mexico from where
t would be an easy matter to ex
end the line through north to
Colorado to connect with the
Gould lines. Tribune Citizen.

SIu0Q6d, Robbed and
Thrown in Box Gar
Bert Abbott comes to himself at
Way Station in Arizona

j In last weeks News, we pub
lished a statement to the effect
that Bert Abbott was missing
from his home near Hutchinson,
Kansas, his father, A. Abbott,
having been called thither by a
message from the young mans
family. On Saturday evening
the father received a letter from
Bert, of which we reproduce be-
low a copy:
Tucson, Arizona, Friday.
Dear Father and Mother: i
arrived in Tucson, Arizona, under
Doctors care. Was taken out of
a box car east of here day before
yesterday and left on the plat
form, just a small box station.
Was picked up by cowman. He
brought me here yesterday. l
have a pretty bad head on me,
but the doctor said he would have
it all right in a few days. My
money has been taken and I am
staying for a few days under the
provision of the cowman. He
said he would stand good for my
grub until | got well. I don't
know what has happened to me
for l don't know what has taken
place until | was taken from the
train. / guess l have been crazy
for a few days. I don't think
my head will give me much more
trouble for it feels so good this
morning, but it will leave an ugly
scar. Will close in order to get
it off on the mail.
Yours truly,
A. E. Abbott.
While in Hutchinson, Mr.. A.
Abbott learned that his son had
drawn some money from the bank
to pay for a lot of hay he had
purchased at a public sale. He,
with a brother-in Flaw, intended
going for the hay on Saturday, |
but disappeared on Friday. AS |
nearly as Mr.. Abbott, Sr., can
get at the facts, the son must
have started home from town on
Friday, and while crossing the
Santa Fe yards, was assaulted
and robbed and the body thrown
into box car, to re-appear five
lays later in Arizona. Little
wonder that, after being roughly |
beaten over the head and riding
i've days in a box car without
food or drink, that the young
mans mind should be a blank as
to what had happened. The
father has sent money that Bert
may come here as soon as he is
able to make the trip.

REPORT OF /.
u. S. SURVEY
Geologist Meinzer makes Favora-
BILE Report on Conditions
in the Valley
IRRIGATION
PRHCTIGABLE

An investigation of the Estar
cia Valley, in the central part Q
New Mexico, was made las
summer by O. E. Meinzer, of tn
United States Geological Survey
for the purpose of ascertainin,
the possibility of utilizing it
ground water for irrigation
This broad valley, which con
tains extensive tracts of tillabl
land, is bordered by mountains
hills, and mesas and lies at th,
center of an inclosed drainage
basin that covers about 2,00(
square miles. 1t includes no per
manent streams, but the floods
that from time to time m {
down the wide arroyos sink in
part into the ground and saturate
in so completely in places near
the center of the valley that the
water plane is there virtually at
the surface and ground water is
constantly being lost by evapo-
ration. Some of this water can
be recovered and used for irriga-
tion by pumping from wells sunk
to a moderate dept.
Ground water can be found
nearly everywhere in the valley,
but a number of conditions indi-
cate that it occurs most abun-
dainty on the west side, which
is supplied by run-off from the
largest mountain range. The
areas most favorably situated for
irrigation include the belt where
the long, gentle west slope mer-
lges into the central fiat, chiefly
west of the New Mexico Central
Railway, and the broad bottoms
of the principal arroyos. In tn ase
areas ground water exists in con-
siderable quantities, is so near
the surface that the pumping
lift will not be great, and is gen
orally Of good quality. It seems
probable that if the water is
pumped in the most economical
manner it can be proftably used
for irrigation, and though the un-
derground supply will serve to
lrrigate only a very small part
Df the valley, yet there is reason
10 believe that it is sufficient to
add materially to the agricul- |
sural production Of the region. |
Fhis resource should be develop |
I'd, but its development should
De carried out very carefully and
With an understanding of the
'igid limitations which are in
1olved. 1t is believed that the
irrigation of small plants in con-
lection with dry farms and ran
hes will be feasible over a large
TART of the valley.
Il Assays made in the field show
hat the water beneath the ex-
Iensive west slope is relatively
Fery pure except near the Mesa
|umanes, where it is impregnat-
u with sulphates derived from a
|hick bed of gypsum that out
Fops there: but the shallow
round water in the low central
grea contains large quantities of
|hlorides and sulphates. Between

miles wide, in which the ground
