United States Geological Survey IT,
sues Report On Luna County
New Mexico

Special interest attaches to re-
port just issued by the United States
Geological Survey by reason of the
accompanying detailed map of Luna
County, New Mexico, which shows
accurately the town of Columbus and
all the surrounding ranches, the
town of Deming to the north, as WEI
as the mountains and other natural
features and the railroads of the
area.
The report Is descriptive Of the &C.
ology and particularly the under
ground water resources of the large
valley in which Columbus and Dem
ing lie. The report has special ref
erence to the hundreds of wells in
the valley, the water of which is
used for irrigation. The depths OF
the wells are shown. and areas and
approximate depth at which the drill
will probably strike water.

Water Gap Cut By
Natures Whip Saw

Delaware Water Gap Is a vertical
walled trench, 1900 feet deep in the
narrow ridge OF Kittatinny Mountain
through which Delaware River flows
Did the river find this gateway ready
made through the mountain or did II
cut its way through the hard noun
tain lodges, and II SO how could II
accomplish its mighty task?
Yet the study Of the geology of the
region the following history has
been worked out. After the rocks
had been formed, layer by layer, as
sediments in the sea they were fold
ed and tipped on end and worn down
by natures forces to gentle surface
across which Delaware River flowed
to the sea.
The top Of Kittatinny Range was
then part Of this surface and the ad
jacent area that is now lowlands
stood nearly at the same level. Ele
walton OF the land caused the Della
ware and its tributaries to wear away
the softer rocks and leave the hard
er rocks standing in relief as ridges
The hard rocks that compose Kitta
tinny Range formed rapids In tbs
Delaware where 1t crossed them but
the river gradually cut this barrier
away.
1t is easy to believe that streams
can remove soft shale and limestone
in their course, but It may seem nj
first thought impossible that water
alone can cut away hard rock. The
water. however, is only medium fol
the cutting is done by the sand
gravel, and powders carried by the
stream. Just as emery fed to saw
cuts through the hardest rock o,
steel.
Large round holes which were
ground into hard rocks by the churn
ing of pebbles at the bottom of small
falls have been left as potholes In
the sides of gorges as the evidence
OF such stream cutting. So the
Delaware, concentrating its power on
n small section of the hard rock OF
Kittatinny Range, was able, during
long period to cut the gap through
the rocky barrier.

There's place where the peach

And each meadow lark, Robin, and
black bird,
Is warbling joyous spring tune,
It's nest building time for the song

In meadows nook, shrub, and tree,
And the lure Of the South in the
springtime,
Is calling softly, to me.
Where placid brooks glide through
the meadows,
Where pussy willows sway in the
breeze.
Where violets spring from the grassy
banks,
To welcome their lovers--the bees;
Where contented cows Craze in the
pastures.
The ploymans song, lusty and free
bears a message OF spring in the
southland,
Which is calling softly to me.

the valleys,

And the orchards extravagant
