Father Antonio, assistant parish
priest on the east side, haying returned
from a protracted trip into Arizona and
southern New Mexico, a Gazette re
porter called at tbe parsonage yester
day and was granted a pleasant and in
teresting interview. The father report
Arizona distressingly dry and almost
unbearably hot. During the night at
Tucson not a breath of air seemed to
sur, end one could odIv toss upon his
bed in sweltering sleeplessness till 2 or
3 o'clock in toe morning. Many a
night bad he thus passed, thiokiosrof the
dbiioious and sleep-enchanting nights of
Las Vegas, uul worse tban tbe drought,
ana worse man tne neat, ana worse
titan both combined, are ibe results of
the Indian depredations. The whole
country around Tucson is under a per
fect reign of terror. Business is para
lyzed and every interest is prosirste
Nothing is doing and nothing can be
done till the Indian depredations have
oeen maoe to cease, wumn hlteen
miles of Tucson two children were
carried off from a ranch, and a track
walker was killed by them in less than
ten miles from the town. There is no
security for life or property up to the
very limits oi tbe city itself.. There is
an overwhelming opinion in that part
of tbe country that the leader of these
marauding redskiusis not old Gerónimo.
He doubtless has a small band of braves,
but the real master mind among them
ie Nate hay, youngest son of old Cochise.
The latter is tbe chief who did such
damage to tbe whites for so many
years, and wbo died some seveu
or eight years ago. The young buok
nas an nis lamer s oiooutnirsty dispo
sition, combined with the prestige of
bis father's influence and success. Be
side be is young, vigorous, and talent
ed in the peculiar tactics of Indian war
fare. While on his way to Arizona,
Father Antonio met at Bernalillo
Father Stephen!, tbe superintendent
of the Catholic Indian bureau, with
headquarters at Washington city. This
bureau has charge of all Indian affairs
in which the Catholic church is interes
ted, and the especial purpose of Father
stepbam s visit at this time to New
Mexico was to arrange for tbe building
of an Indian sobool at Santa Fe, to be
called St. Catherine's. Fifteen thous
and dollars are lo be put into the build
ing, which -is to be in length 125
feet, with two wings each 66x30 feet.
A twelve-toot basement of stone will be
surmounted by two stories of adobe
laid in sand a til limp, and finished
with all modeiu appliances. Ihe
building will bs placed on the very
spot on which tbe Spaniards built their
first military post at Santa Fe, more
than three hundred years ago. Father
Antonio regards tbe outlook for the
cnurch in New Mexico as very promis
ing, and their work among tbe Indians
as quite satisfactorv.
Father Coddert, speaking of Ar
izona expressed the opinion that there
are no such possibilities before that
territory as those tbat lie before New
Mexico, ills view is tbat we are des
tined to become one of the great fruit
and wine producing countries ot the
world. For size, flavor and productive
ness no fruit region yet known surpssi
es New Mexico, California has the
size and productiveness, but her fruits
lack the flavor; many places in the east
have tbe flavor, but tbey fall of size and
quantity. New Mexico combines them
all. Years ago he urged the forming
of a joint stock company with $100,000
capital; the money ti be expended
in purchasing and preparing
grounds, erecting suitable buildings
and machinery and importing skilled
labor from Cnampagne, France. He
believes that in a very short time, with
such procedure, New Mexico cham
pagne would compete with French
champagne, even ia the markets of
Europe, or of Franoe itself.
Hon. Rfaf.l Homero being in the
city the otner day, a Gazette reporter
interviewed him on the subject of agri
culture in New Mexico, .upon which
subjeot no bettor posted man can be
foond in tbe territory. In his view tbe
key which is to unlook tbe v.ut stores
ot New Mexioo's agricultural
possibilities, is the system ot tmk irri
gation. All along the foot hills of tbe
mountains are deep and narrow gorges
which at comparatively alight expense
can be converted into vast tank or ar
tifical lakes for the storage of surplus
water during the rainy seaaou From
these the water can be fed out to the
fields as occasion require?. Besides, tbe
face of the country on the divides be
tween the water courses is full of dry
basins. Tbe average fall of these
streams is about twenty-bye feet to the
mile, so tbat at an insignificant coat the
water can be diverted from tbe stream
into tbe basin, and stored for further
use. The irrigating season is confined
to three months, J uue, July and August;
so tbat not only the rainy season, but
all other times of tbe nine months, can
be utilized in throwing water intolthe
tanks. By Kroenig, usar Watrous. and
on tbe La Cueva ranch, the experiment
has been tried and has proved a cúm
plete sucoeas. At La Cueva there Is
such a lake with a ditch six and one-
bait miles long, by which fully 10,000
acres can be irrigated, mese lakes
answer two other purposes. The evap
oration from them during the day satu
rates tbe atmosphere with moisture.
The great cbangeof temperature at night
precipitates this moisture in the form
of heavy dews which keep the grasses
and growing crops in tbe neighborhood
of the lakes fresh and green as though
rain occasionally fell. Also from the
La Cueva lake fully 10,000 pounds of
fish are yearly obtained, which adds no
little to the food supply of tbe commu
nity; this, too, without a single fish ever
having been put into tbe lake artificial
ly. Mr. Romero thinks that we should
fatten our steers at home and thus save
to ourselyes and territory the profits
which Kansas, Missouri and other states
are now making at our expense. The
shipping steers of New Mexico are al
most invariably purchased by feeders
who keep them for a season and put
them in order before placing them on
the beef market. In this lies the largest
part of the profits, which we had as well
retain as not. To do this he would have
us raise more alfalfa, and especially
prepare ensilage from it and other
green crops. Alfalfa ean be counted on
to produce in this country four and one
half tons to the acre, at a cost of $3.60,
per ton, and it readily sells fT $23.50
per tun bailed. When once sowed mere
is no further trouble with it. Fields
on tbe Rio (randa have been in al
falfa fur more than one hundred
years, yet they cut todav from
five to seven crops during tbe tne year.
ana are as productive as ever they
were in the memory ot tbe oldest inhab
itant. Then, too, alfalfa fields furnishs
excellent pasturage for about three
weeks in tbe spring, without damage to
tbe crop; while for a like period in tbe
tall they can again be utilized in tbe
same way. Tank irrigation, with more
agriculture, will make New Mexico the
garden spot of the world.

The work of re-flooring the rooms
occupied by the Montezuma club was

oughly restored that none will be able
to see the traces or fire upon it.
Tbe Santa Fe road baa discontinued
the office ot resident engineer, all along
its line. As a consequence, Enginieer
Rowe, who baa been to long and- favor
ably known in our community, will
cease to be a resident of our oily, much
to the regret of bis many friends at this
plaoe.
Thursday is Holy Asoension day, and

tofore, and these hours will be observed
until November next.
Don't forget the lecture on tomorrow
night at tbe Baptist oburcb fer the La
dies Koli'f society. Nothing in our
city is doing, and has done, so much
good as this organization iheruuds
are low, and they appeal to tbe people
to aid them by attending this lecture.
Beside the able address by Col Scott,
there wilt be some fine music by tue
best talent in the city.
The Spanish Comedy company will
give their entertainment Thursday
night at F'elix Papa's ball. They have

aud at. ached to it were frame buildings
alio. Yet the hose company ext.n
guisbed tbe fire in tbe building where
it originated. Tbey cannot be
praised too highly for tbeir prompt re
sponse and efficient labois. Some of
the clothing which was in the build
ing wt saturated with water
and saved, aud can be found and
claimed in the rear of Rogers Bros'
blacksmith shop. In this connection it
may be lUled that a key to tbe west
side bose bouse can be found at
The Gazette office at all hours of the
day or night.
A petition was put in circulahon the
other day to have certain men on the
east side commissioned as deputy sher
iffs, the purpose being evidently to oust
the young men who are now on the po
lice force over there. But some of the
friends of tbe latter happened lo get
onto tbe matter and at once another pe
tition was starled, having for its object
the appointment of tbe present polioe
as deputies to the sheriff. Before the
first parties were aware of what was
up, the petition had been circulatsd,
the names gotten, and tbe sheriff had
aooepted the applicants and fixed tbeir
l-bonds in amounts tbey could easily
reach, today tbey will be duly sworn
into their new offices. It is about time
the opposition to tbe police, simply be
cause they do their duty in arresting
violators of tbe law, should come to an
end. It will be found tbat a large ma
jority of the law-abiding people favor
the turoe we now have; and any further
effort at dislodging tbem, will bet
make the stronger their hold upon the
sympathy of the people.
