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.
