half price but also Of clearing up
their land which would otherwise
cost them just MS much as it does
now when they get the benefit Of
the work without additional cost.
We found a number Of neat and
tasty cottages going up and the
town presents this appearance Of a
steady and healthy growth. We
learned from Mr.. b. Y. McKeyes
the prominent real estate and in
suranoe agent, that, while for a
time, the company was annoyed
and delayed by injunvtions and
litigations arising from fictitious
and pretended claims, to the char
tered rights of Che company, all
those claims have now been de-
feated and the legal status Of the
company stands uncontested and
that he could see no reason why
the enterprise should not be a
phenomenal success Hesays that
land nov nominally worth from
$50 to $50 per acre will, no doubt,
advance to 500 to $500 under a
thorough irrigation system such
as is proposed 10y this company.
We also learned from reliable
sources, that all the machinery
and improvements which have
been completed up to date have
been promptly paid for, and that
the company has no indebtedness
except its bonded indebtedness
which is comparatively small, and
that the bonds issued on this prop
erty are amply secured, and those
holding stock of the company are
not offering it for sale at any
We also visited the Canaigre
located about one mile east
Of town and found the works very
extensive and complete. These
have been IN operation and
employed about 100 men for sew
eral months, and the results have
been So satisfactory that the COM

Deming is located at the juno
ion of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, the Silver City and
Northern, the Texas Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads, and a
number of other projected roads
are in prospect, and at nc distant
lay the city must become a great
railroad center. The town is
beautifully situated and as soon
rs a thorough water system can
De completed it will become one
If the most delightful and pleas
ant places in which to live that
can be found anywhere in the
southwest.
The Deming Land and Water
also own and control
10 miles Of completed canal from
-he Mimbres river toward Dem
ing and one and a half miles of
leep cut from the canal and to
half a mile of the river,
where the Silver City draw inter
the river, and it is estimated
hat on the same grade they will
catch and control a large volume
IF water from the underhow of
lhe Mimbres and other streams
passing through this draw. When
cut is finished the canal will
De extended eight miles which
will bring it to Deming. The
concessions in land alone to be
acquired on the completion of
his canal will be worth at least
100000 to the company, and per-
laps much more; and it is the in
ention of the company as soon as
he Deming system is completed,
take up this canal line and COM
it also. Taken altogether,
he enterprise seems to be one of
much merit and promises large
eturns on the investment.
We also learned that the Rio
Iimbres company are pushing
he work on their dam above
with every prospect of
their enterprise in a
easonably short time.
