cases he says pipes have been sunk into
the ground and water has bubbled up
over the tops. Good wells are secured
at - fdet. He believes if the country
is ever given a fair test that artesian
water viii be developed He thinks
that the soil is full Of strong flows
OF water from the Captain, Sacramento
and other mountains and that the rea-
son IL does not run off in streams on
top the earth is because Of the soft
character Of the rocks. which permits
the water to sink He has noticed in
many places where there are springs
that the water runs but a short dis
lance and then sinks back into the
earth and soft rock. The land is all
very rich and it Is Mr.. Lumbley's be-
lief that once the attention of the
world is directed to the practicability
of pumping. the settlement viii follow
as fast as at Deming. He has so much
faith in the country that he is having
his children take up desert land claims
as they reach their majority
Mr. Lumbley has demonstrated the
success with which hogs can be raised
in this section and finds that he can
fatten them by allowing them to run
damage to the alfalfa He has prOba-
bly, the largest number Of hogs In
this part OF the country and every
one Of them is in fine shape. He
shipped a large number to FL PasO last
year and will ship many more this
year.
Native Hay Abundant.
over in the foothills to the northeast
Of Tularosa Mr.. Lumbley Frank Curry
and others Of this section find the soil
most productive without Irrigation For
miles they are able to ride in ordinary
season through hay that is up to their
knees when they are on horseback, the
grass growing on the hillsides where
there is no chance for the water being
held to make the ground unusually
moist. This hay Is cut each
year by the ranchers in that
region and brings a good price.
1t is the land in that section which the
RinconadO project will irrigate The
reservoir project is to be located north
of Tularosa about eight miles and east
about four. The idea IS TO build the
dam under the provisions OF the Carey
act, which permits the formation of
companies Of landholders for the pur-
pose Of bonding irrigation enterprises
for the construction Of dams. The res
ervoir site is a natural one in the noun
tains and the lake viii be as large as
the Roosevelt lake in Arizona, when
the project IS completed.
TularOsa as hay shipping center
has taken its place among the biggest
In the west. The total tonnage this
year was about 1900 tons and with the
hay and other shipments from here
three men have been kept busy at the
Southwestern railroad station.
Always Self Supporting.
Tularosa was founded about 50 years
ago when SIS Mexican families settled
here and began taking the waters from
the Tularosa river. They acquired their
rights to the water, but at that time
owing to their remOteness from trans
pOrtatiOn, did not value them very
highly. Now $1,000 cannot buy a water
right The community was self sup
porting at once and everything that
was needed IN the little village was
grown right here The fruit Of Tula-
rosa became famous throughout the
territory Of New Mexico from the

Carrizozo, N. M, a Busy
Wool and Cattle Center
Good Native Hay and Shallow Wells
Indicate Good Irrigation Prospects.

Carrizozo has a bank, with a capital
Of $4,000 and deposits Of $4,000; is
supplied with good hotel accommoda--
tons, several very substantial bust
ness houses, including the store Of the
CarriZOZO Trading company, which
equals many Of the largest stores in
kets, barber shops and other convent
ences Of a town Of the first class. The
place has one saloon and is therefore
not numbered among the dry places
Of the territory. Another bank is eX-
pected to be started here in short
time and several improvements are
contemplated in the business section.
Two newspapers are published here,
and the place has splendid school
system, with a school building that
would be a credit to a place several
times larger, while some Of the church
es would attract notice in a city ten
times the size Of CarriZOzO-
Freight Transfer Point.
Large stock pens here afford the
Cattlemen of the surrounding region
an opportunity to ship their stock, and
the shops ana roundhouse OF the rail-
road make 1t necessary TO employ
large force Of men here. All freight
to and from Captain and Lincoln IS
also transferred here, and this IS Of
no small consequence.
This is the headquarters Of the engi-
neering force on the big Rio BOnitO
pipe line of the FL PasO & Southwest
ern railroad, which supplies water for
----E l-7-a-AAAH I'D anu ANN III the 4Alb
to locomotives OF the railroad.
The wool shipments for the year from
this point are very large, and buyers
Of wool crowd the place in season
of the FL PasO & Southwestern. the
region has always been very prOduc-
tive Of wool and 1t is, If anything,
better now than in former years.
Beautifying the Town.
Carrizozo has many nice homes as
well as good business houses and the
people are attempting to beautifv the
place by planting trees and shrubberv
The courthouse square is to be made
the central park Of the town and trees
have been set out and are being given
attention about the uncOmpleted struc-
ture.
The town is furnished with the best

and IL is also fortunate I'm having cleo

ton with FL Paso, the Pecos valley

with mayor I. E. LANCE and others,
are legion. One Of the good results OF
its work is the present very clean
condition Of the streets and sidewalks
and the large mileage Of graded
streets and cement walks. The cham
Der of commerce has also agttated the
planting Of flowers and trees-the re-
Spouse has been generous-and had a
leading part in the campaign for mu-
nicipal ownership OF the WaterWOrks-

of the trade; IL backed the enterprise

is at work on the Rock Island and
Southwestern railroads to induce them
TO erect new station here.
New Railroad Talk.
While they have two railroad sys-
tens and four lines leading out Of the
city, the Tucumcari people are not go
ing TO rest until they get another The
Santa Fe has already surveyed and
-sectiOned the country between
Tucumcari and Clovis and the con
struction Of this line is looked for It
viii give an outlet for the Pecos VAL
ley fruit into this section and a direct
route for sending Dawson coal into the
PeeOs valley. The construction OF sucn
line would enable the Santa Fe to
reach its own main line near Las We
gas-in connection with the Dawson
line from here, which crosses the santa
Fe near Vegas-and would in many
ways improve traffic conditions not
only for the Pecos valley country, but
for northern New Mexico.
One of the attractive features Of Tu-
Cumcari to the sportsman is the large
lake covering $50 acres near town,
which is constantly covered with
ducks and affords splendid shooting.
The water is caught in natural ba-
sin in the ground as 1T flows down
from the mountainsides after a rain
or snow, and. as it is lower than the
surrounding country ii remains per
petual lake and affords much pleasure
to the people.
The water supply Of the town and
vicinity is secured at a small depth
and is pure and sweet The town is
supplied by water pumped from these
wells
