r L PASO has a water supply that is
X exceptionally good. The water
works, which are municipality
owned, are Supplied by number Of
wells. These have an average Of 500
feet depth each, and are sunk out be-
yond the mesa. The purity Of the
water is assured through several
means. With the exception Of few
scattered ranch houses. the watershed
supplying these wells is uninhabited
within a radius of over so miles of the
wells. The water passes through a
perfect natural filter before it is
pumped. Between the surface Of the
mesa and the water line, there is an
impervious stratum of caliche. The
water is pumped directly into the
mains, and the surplus is stored in
two concrete reservoirs on the mesa
which are frequently drained and
cleaned.
Altogether there are % wells, with
the five new wells that were sunk in

mains were laid, costing $4,000, and

many years before the. MayfIower
brought the Pilgrim fathers to
New England. Services were held in
the old mission of Nuestra Sonora de
Guadalupe in Juarez in 1919, almost
Il years before the Pilgrim fathers Of
Iered their thanks at Plymouth ROCK.
This historic mission was one of the
chain of mission forts erected by the
franciscan monks along the old Santa
Fe trail from Mexico City before there
were any towns in this section.
The village of Ysleta is Aone of the
Oldest in this section, as it is recorded
upon maps when other sections of the
country were still bowling wilder
nesses. The old mission of Nuestra
Sonora de Carmen was built in 1910,
also being one of the mission forts
on the old Santa Fe trail.
This mission is believed by many
to be the oldest mission in the United
States. 1t was long known as the
