n’ let my- self down to the bottom. You bet we had plenty of bear meat for several days. From the July 10, 1891, Issue of The Enterprise Territorial Tidings New Mexico News of the Week A patent has been issued to Lucy Garris, of Gold Hill, New Mexico, for a car coupling. The dam on the W. S. ranch, Socorro county, N. M., has been finished and will soon be full of water. It is situated at the mouth of the box canon of the Frisco, and is composed chiefly of substantial solid rock work, which cannot be swept away by the wildest flood. It contains over 160,000 cubic feet of rock and 100 feet of lumber. Behind it the water backs up for a mile and a quarter. From it a flume built of lumber carries the water for a quarter of a mile along the face of the mountain to where it empties into the ditch, which carries it a mile and a quarter further to where it can be made available to irrigate some 250 acres of choice land. — Reporter.
