Amy's Discovery of Water.

The American army in Mexico has performed one
peaceful accomplishment Of great value to western Chi
huahua. The army has encamped upon a great uncul-
tvated plain in the vicinity Of Nueva Casas Grandes
and COlonia Dublan To obtain water supply, it has
put down wells and has encountered water within few
feet of the surface thus proving that in all probability
the whole plain may be irrigated successfully by sinking
shallow wells and installing pumps operated by crude
oil engines.
Thus this fertile but hitherto untitled valley should,
in peace times furnish excellent farms for many peo
pie. Pump irrigation it has been known for several
years, viii ultimately cause the reclamation Of many
great sections of the southwest not susceptible Of ga
tion from rivers OF reservoirs. 1t is Of the most
satisfactory methods of irrigation known and not
pensve when the does not have to be lifted from
great depth.
There IS a great body Of water under the Casas
Grandes plain But II took Yankee army to find it
In the future it may be hoped that great army Of
farmers ard their families may profit by the result Of
the mihtary's discovery
