important decisions on appeals from
the territorial engineer. One is in
application No. 800, of Andrieus A.
Jones, for waters of the Pecos, to re-
claim 100000 acres of the Preston
Beck grant in Guadalupe and San

is impractical, unfeasible and not
based upon an actual survey" The
board sustains the engineer. The 9th
er is in application No. 341 of the
board of trustees of the town of Las
