RECORD-HERALD
AND THE inter
+. ocean SOLD
James Kelley, General Manager
Chicago Tribune, Buys Both
Publications.
WILL MERGE BOTH PAPERS.
Former San Francisco Man to Be
Associated With the
Purchaser.
WILL MERGE BOTH PAPERS.

Chicago, May S.-The Chicago
Record-Herald and the Inter Ocean
were purchased yesterday by James
Kelley, general manager of the Chi
cago Tribune. The transfer of the
papers was announced shortly after
George Wheeler Human, holder Of
the majority of the Inter Ocean
bonds, had bought the Inter Ocean
for $4,000 in receivers sale in
the federal court.
The two papers will be merged
and published as the Record-Herald.
w. w. Chaplin, formerly in charge
of the San Francisco Call, will be as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Kelley in the
management of the papers, accord
ing to the announcement. Mr.. Chap
in, it was said, will manage the
business affairs and Mr.. Kelley the
editorial departments Mr.. Kelley, it
was said, would sever his connec-
ton with the Tribune at once.
The Inter Ocean was founded in
1865, as the Republican, with
Charles A. Dana as editor. Dana left
within a year, and after the fire of
1871 the Republican was reorganiz-
ed as the Inter Ocean with J. Young
Scammon as proprietor.
In 1878, Frank w. Palmer of
Des Moines, Ia, purchased the stock
and became editor in chief, and in
1875 new corporation, with Will
liam Penn Nixon at its head, bought
the property. H. H. Kohlsaat,
Charles T. Yerkes, George Wheeler
Human and Mr.. Kohlsaat succeeded
in turn to the ownership of the pa
per, until it was thrown into the
! hands of a receiver several weeks
ago.
The Record-Herald is the develop
ment of combinations of three pa
pers. The Daily Times was founded
in 1854, and four years later the
Chicago Herald appeared, owned by
Cyrus H. Mccormick. In 1860, Nc
Cormick bought the Times and con-
solidated the two papers as the Chi
cago Times-Herald. A year later
Wilbur F. Storey purchased the pa
per, and dropped the World Herald
from its name.
In 1881 Frank w. Palmer started
another Herald which in 1894 was
combined with the Times, which
again became the Times-Herald and
was sold to Herman H. Kohlsaat. In
1901, the Times-Herald was combin-
ed with the Record, owned by Vic
tor F. Lawson, and became the Rec
ord-Herald.
Mr.. Kohlsaat retained control Of
the majority Of the stock, however,
until its sale in 1902 to Frank B.
Noyes, who in 1910 returned the ed
itorship to Mr.. Kohlsaat. In 1912
Mr.. Lawson obtained control of the
paper. April l Mr.. Lawson notified
the holders of Record-Herald bonds
valued at $2,500,0O0 that on May l
he would turn over his 100000
stock in the paper to them. A COM
mittee of bondholders was named
which arranged the sale Of the pa
per to Mr.. Kelley.

reason.
1t is not at all unlikely that
a deep boring to the bottom Of
the materials filling the bolson
might develop a large artc,ian
flow, but there is no assurance
that such d boring would be
successful.
The more extended report
on Luna county will contain a
brief account of irrigation by
we'll water in various parts of
the county. Many of the wells
are equipped with pumps capa-
bic of delivering from 500 to
l,5O0 gallons a minute and at
some Of the ranches considcra
bic irrigation has been done
already, with satisfactory &c
suits as to products and cost.
The wells for this service are
mostly from 100 to 200 feet
deep and water from 20 to so
feet below the surface. Nap.
tina is the fuel at most of the
plants, but crude oil has been
employed at s.me and found
much cheaper. and rIectricy
carried by wires from Dcmine
IS used at a number of places.
here are many irrigation
plants near Dcminf. Carne.
Hondale, Mountain View,
Waterloo and Columbus. and
while the area irrigated ranges
from a quarter section Ia a
small garden plot, the extent of
land under cultivation is gen
orally 20 to 10 acres. The
amount Of water used varies
with the rainfall, snowfall, ma
turc OF Winds, arrangement of
bitches, and the amount of wa.
ter Immediately available.

| he wells range IN depth from
rs to 200 feet and obtain wa
ter which rises within two feet
of the surface near he intcrna
tional boundary. but only
within fifty feet or more in the
region farther north. The vol
umc OF water varies greatly
from place to place, some OF
the wells south and southeast
of Columbus yielding from 500
to 1000 gallons a minute,
while Others have much less
capacity, the supply in some
areas being very Scanty. he
underground conditions pre-
sent great diversity, especially
in the exiStance OF thick bodies
of quickslnd, which appear to
choke up the strata in parts
of the area FIVE miles southeast
east and northeast OF CoIum
bus. One $40 foot boring
seven miles east of Columbus
obtained an artesian flow, but
for some unknown reason this
flow did not continue. In the
the slopes west, north and
northwest of Columbus the
waters are deep and not in
great volume. The strata are
finally cur of in those direc.
uons by the Tres lIcrmanas
mountains.
Several deep wells have been
bored in Luna county with the
hope of finding artesian flows
but the results have not been
satisfactory.
One boring six miles south
east of Demine was 1865 feet
deep, but below $40 feet the
materials we're so compact hat
they yielded little water. The
water at $40 feet came within
II feet of the surface and, with
that from higher strata, afford
ed an ample supply for pump
ing. a no foot boring 3 -
miles east of Demine is report
ed to have obtained a small
flow which lasted for a short
time, but finally only the shall
lower waters we're utilized. In
a $50 foot boring in Deming
the water came within 9 feet of
the surface, but the principal
supply was obtained at a mod.
crate depth.
1t is asserted that a depth Of
nearly 1000 feet was reached
at the Shay ranch. seven miles
northeast of Columbus Water
