Mr.. Fisher has a well 165 feet deep,
cased 125 feet with eight-inch casing
and reduced below to six inches. The
water stood 80 feet from the top of the
ground before lifting. The pumping
plant consists of a Fairbanks-More
gasoline engine and compressor which
pumps air through an inch and a quar-
ter pipe to an Indiana air lift suspend
ed within the casing, Isl feet below
the ground. The plant has been tested
successfully for three days, showing an
Increased flow each day. The volume
Of sand discharged has been enormous,
avera ging a wagon load each IS min

opened up the water strata and in
creased the flow, so that 1t has nearly

PRRIGATTNG FOR THIRD
CUTTING IN THE WALLET

Las Cruces, n. VI, June 26.-Quite
q number of the farmers Of this section
of the Mesilla valley have finished
their second cutting Of alfalfa and are
busy with the first irrigation for the
third cutting Reclamation engineer
Patterson. Of the Leasburg diversion
dam, states that there is no doubt but
that the water will remain in the river
for at least another month, after which
it is probable that the late summer ano
fall rains will keep the supply UP. This
means that there will be four cuts on
every ranch in the valley. with five
cuttings on those ranches which cut
the first crop early in May.
On some of THE ranches near Las
Cruces, especially those north of Dona
Ana along the river, the third cut viii
be started about the last of July
which is two weeks earlier than the
third crop has ever been harvested in
this valley.

RIVER TRYING TO
RETURN TO CHANNEL
Engineers Having Difficult
Task Controlling Stream
at Selden.

Las Cruces. n. NJ, June 26--The Rio
Grande is resisting the efforts of the
United States reclamation engineers to
confine it within the banks which
they have settled upon for its roadbed-
When the diversion dam was being
constructed at Selden. the government
forces spent $4,000 in an attempt 70
cut off q large horseshoe or U-shaped
curve in the rivers channel at old
Leasburg, in order to straighten the
channel and avoid the washing away
of land valuable to the reclamation
project A new channel was built d.
rectly across the horseshoe and the
waters OF the river diverted. But the
Rio Grande is now waging an incessant
warfare to get back into the chan
mel which It had held for many years
Earl Patterson, the engineer IN
charge at the Leasburg DAM about Two
weeks ago completed over an eighth
OF a mile Of riprap work, put in with
che intention Of stopping the river from
again seeking it's old channel, but
even this work is proving unavailing,
and he has had to throw his entire
force along the river bank below the
work Just finished and build more
defenscs. Unassisted physical labor has
proved to be inadequate for the task
snd dynamite is being used to assist
the work. The banks are not rocky
making the erosian easier for the wa
ter and harder to control. but Mr.. Pat
terson believes that he will be able to
stop all the encroachment If flood wa
ters do not come to undo all the work
he has so far accomplished
Upon the success of the work he is
now doing depends the saving Of the
immense settling basin which the re-
clamation department has reserved for
the dam. and its failure means the
complete destruction OF $4,000 worth
Of work done originally. together with
all that has since been accomplished.
