SECOND ROUND IN
FIGHT FOR WATER
Amended Complaint Filed by Min
bres Valley Co. Againt Rio
Mimbres irrigation Co.
HEARING AT SILVER TOMORROW
Final Diversion Rights on Rio Min
bres Will Probably Be De-
cided by Supreme Court

An amended complaint was filed
recently by the Mimbres Valley Irri.
CATION Company asking that the in
junction restraining the Rio Mimbres
Irrigation Company from construct
ing certain alleged diversion bitches
on the Rio Mimbres River contrary to
the alleged rights of the plaintiff
company be reinstated and that its
rights to all the flood waters of the
river be affirmed by the court. Hear
Ing of the ease will be had before
Judge Colin Neblctt at Silver City
tomorrow Judge f.. A. Mann of AL
buquerque and Fred Sherman of this
city will appear for the plaintiff and
Judge b. F. Adams will represent the
defendant.
"AIN'T NO CORE"
In its amended complaint the
plaintiff company met the points in
the demurrer upheld by the court at
the hearing last week. The most
important is the showing alleged to
the effect that the plaintiffs diversion
of flood water was according to law
that the water was placed to benef-
cial use; that the diversion, which
does not exceed 5000 cubic feet per
second. leaves no surplus after irri-
eating ALSO acres Of land planted
to alfalfa, cane, maize. grasses and
other crops; that the amount of the
flood water varies from year TO year,
making n measurement of il impos-
sible; that the bitches and large ca
nal being built above the plaintiffs
land would entirely cut off the for
mers supply if completed; that the
defendant has never applied the wa
ter to beneficial use under its alleged
right.
MAY GO TO SUPREME COURT
II seems that the Rio Mimbres Ir-
rigation Company now has O new ap-
plication on file in the Office Of the
State Engineer, but has enjoined the
head of that department from acting
on the application. The rights al.
legged were first granted to the de-
fendant company several years prior
to the rights alleged to have been
granted to the plaintiff company. The
case probably will be appealed from
the District to the Supreme Court for
final adjudication,

CONCRETE FACTORY IS
NEARING COMPLETION
New Process Of Pouring Blocks En-
ables Makers to Develop Full
Strength of Material
FOR CITY AND COUNTRY HOMES
Turney Construction Company viii
Deliver Its Entire Output to
Home Plot Company

The making Of concrete blocks by
the new process of pouring bids fair
to be one of the coming industries
OF this section. The ordinary pressed
block has been used here as else
where, but has not been altogether
satisfactory because of the coarse
and absorbent character of the fin
ished product. The poured block.
however, develops the full tensile
strength of the concrete and is i'm
pervious to moisture and practically
an indesctructible building material.
Covered by pebble dash the bunga-
lows which will be built of the ma
terial furnished by the Turney Con-
struction Company to the Home Plot
Company will present an architect
nral symphony that will be popular
with the home makers. The first
bungalow to be built has been fin.
isbed some time and many people
have examined it carefully. 1t is of
the pleasing Spanish type and 10.
Gated north of the city near the con-
crete block factory which is being
equipped with modern machinery.
SOURCE OF MATERIAL
The plant is located on the brink
Of the dry bed of the Mimbres River
because the materials needed for the
making Of concrete are found there
in mexhaustible quantities. A tram.
way on an inclined plane is used for
hoisting the sand and gravel from
the bed Of the river to the boot of
the elevator located above flood wa
ter mark. The elevator distributes
the material to revolving screens of
three different sizes of meshes and
the material is then segregated into
four bins. From the bins the mater
ial is drawn off into the mechanical
concrete mixer which fills the forms
on flat cars. The flat cars are run
into the curing shed, which is 20 by
loO feet, and the blocks remain here
for twenty.eight days before they
are ready to be hauled to the build
ing sites. The blocks are kept moist
in the curing shed for eighteen days
by an overhead sprinkling system.
The equipment is designed to handle
100 yards of raw material a day and
Is about ready to begin full opera
tion. The water is supplied from a
well on the place, and a mile of ca.
lechc and gravel road connects the
plant with the city streets.
MILL IN SERVICE
The wells on four of the Home
Plot 20-acre tracts are now being put
down, the land having been grubbed.
The first Of the concrete houses will
be erected OH ;hcsc tracts and on
some of the citv lots held by the
company. To facilitate the construc.
tion work not only the material for

but the wood work cut to fit and fin.
ished in the mill which is being placed
i'll service on Platinum avenue not
far from the Union Depot. The mill
is equipped with power saws, mould
er, planer, sander. lathes and all the
other necessary machinery to do the
work. The building is fifty by fifty
feet with an engine room and receiv-
ing yard. Power is furnished by a
fifteen horsepower motor.

BELL WELL IS GOOD
PRODUCER, IS REPORT
Pump Connected Directly With Cas-
Ing and Water Level Is Not
Lowered In Pumping
RAISES 500 GALLONS A MINUTE
Another Good Well In Coming Capi.
tol Dome District Brought
In by George Paxton

The new and unique pumping plant
Of Professor George 4. Bell of the
Capitol Dome district has Just beer
tested out and has developed n flow
of 500 gallons minute with Il
twenty horsepower Munsey engine
and No. 4 Advance pump with Black.
ham seal. The amount of water OBJ.
tanned is all that the plant can take
care of and if more water is ever
needed, which is unlikely, II larger
plant must be installed. The inter
esting feature of the installation is
the fact that the pump is connected
directly with the easing and there
fore has no suction pipe of the ordi.
nary kind. The well is $50 feet deep
80 feet to water, and has developed
absolutely no draw down. This lat
ter fact is due of course to the pres.
ence OF more water than the plant
can lift. ". T.. Ilamman put down
the well.
AT Low COST
Il may be of interest to note that
the total cost of the plant, including
all equipment and labor of installa-
ton. is not to exceed $1,000. The
amount of water obtained is capable
of irrigating eighty acres of land
which is at least twice the acreage
which one man in this country can
farm without help. In fact, forty
acres is a large farm and twenty
acres will probably be considered the
maximum size for n l-man enterprise
in the Mimbres Valley. The land
greediness of many Of the farmers
from the Middle West used to tiline
from eighty to two hundred acres is
held responsible for their infrequeni
failure to produce the profits. In
tensive farming methods in use here
are totally unlike the extensive meth.
ods used in the great agricultural
States of the Middle West and il is
hard for many of our newer settlers
to adjust themselves to what at first
seem mere "squaw patches"
GOOD ONE
Another well, recently tested, in
the rich Capitol Dome district be-
longs to George Paxton and tested
500 gallons of water n minute. The
equipment is No. s American pump
and a thirty horsepower Rumely en-
CINE. This will will develop n thou
sand gallons minute in the near fu'
ture and is sufficient to irrigate l6O
acres. The we'll is ninety feet deep
fifty feet to water and has a draw
down of six feet. Mr. Paxton intends
to plant twenty acres of potatoes, as
we'll as other field crops. Professor
Bell will also plant potatoes, as they
do well in the soil Of the Mimbres
Valley and require minimum OF at
tentiOn.

IMPORTING LABORERS
FOR M|ESSE TRACT
Twenty-Five Additional Workers
Landed on i0,000-Acre Tract
From EI Paso, Tex.
GRUBBlNG ENTIRE HOLDING
A 40-Acre Demonstration Farm Is
Being Placed In Service to
Teach irrigation

Twenty-Five additional laborers
from FL Paso arrived yesterday and
began work on the Miesse tract. This
makes a total force Of forty-fve men
exclusive of the clerical and execu
tive employees of the Mimbres Val
ley Alfalfa Farms Company. The
whole of the 10000 acres are being
cleared as rapidly as possible for the
blowing being done by the tractors
and gang plows. The streets of the
townsite Of Miesse are being graded
in addition to the main and cross
roads intersecting the tract in every
direction,
ANOTHER GOOD WELL
No. s we'll on the western line of
the tract is now down over seventy
feet. Water was found at forty I've
feet and the entire distance, as far
as work has progressed. has been
through coarse water bearing ma
terial Of the best variety. This well
virtually completes the test Of the
water possibilities of the tract and
shows that shallow water underlies
the entire holding.
DEMONSTRATION FARM
A 40-acre demonstration farm is
being laid out under the direction Of
an expert agriculturist. On it will
be produced every variety OF pro-
duce which is fitted for cultivation
in the Mimbres Valley. A feature
of the farm will be an orchard and
berry garden. Both large and small
fruits do well in this section and it
is probable that fruit will rank next
to alfalfa when the tract is brought
to its fullest development.
WANTS TENANTS
The land which is plowed but
which has not been sold is being
rented by the company on the easiest
possible terms, the sole object of
the company being to bring the land
as quickly as possible to high state
of cultivation that it may present a
more pleasing view to the farmers
of the Middle West who are not par.
ticularly attracted by the scattered
development in an entirely new coun-
try. The task undertaken by the
company for this season is a monu-
mental one, but those who have noted
the progress being made declare its
accomplishment to be phenomenal.
