by the Springs on Record.

Haywood Hot Springs, under the
management of the former owner, L.
c. McDermott, are the great health and
pleasure resorts of southern New Mex
ico They are situated 25 miles north
west of Deming, the junction OF the
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and Bis
bee railroads, and within three miles OF
a branch of the Santa Fe, with which
they are connected by private stage
line running from Haywood station to
the springs.
Here, at an altitude of $500 feet, in a
region of almost perpetual sunshine,
tented over with ever-azure skies and
with the most delightful of climate, has
been erected at the cost of 100000 a
large hotel capable of accommodating
1876 guests. 1t stands just to the east
and near the base of the great, calcar-
eous cone, 40 feet in altitude and half a
mile in circumference, which has been
the result of the mineral deposits from
the spring during all the countless ages
of the past The Haywood is built up
on the Mexican plan, enclosing pla-
cita, or court upon three sides. Sur
rounding it are 900 feet, or nearly one
fifth of mile, of cool, deep verandas
where one may enjoy the pleasant
breezes of the sun during the winter
months and be sheltered from the
winds, 10 matter from what direction
they may blow. Very little wind is
experienced however, as it is located
sufficiently near the mountains to be
sheltered from their force, and yet far
enough away to get delightfully."- re-
freshing breeze in summer.
The large and airy rooms are fur
nished in the best style, being supplied
with fixed marble slabs, stationary
wash stands, private baths and every
other convenience. There are elegant
lavatories; barber shop; gun room;
a comrAodious Office with an old fash
ioncd fire place; billiard and writing
rooms; parlors and a spacious and lofty
dining room which on occasion serves
as ball room. The system of plumb
heated in winter by hot water piped
from the spring.
THE SURROUNDINGS.
Stretching far away to the south,
west and north is the vast sweep of the
grass covered, sunlit plains, whose roll
ing swells, as the shifting light and
shade plays over them, offer to the be-
holder a never ending pleasure and
joy; the joy and elation of the open
spaces.
On the north, at distance of 20
miles, is the rugged Black Range; to-
the east looms the mighty form of
Cooks Peak one of the highest noun
tains In the southwest, while in the
south, clean and sharp against the
sky, rise the Florida Range and Red
Mountain, with the Three Sisters Gas
Tres Hermanas), dim and hazy, 70 miles
away at the edge of Mexico. while to
the northwest lie the Little and the
Big Burros
1t is said, that mans mind and spir-
1t are as his horizon Is; if this be true,
then the worries and eating cares of
life should be an unknown quantity
here; for of all the charming and in
spring views of Gods green earth,
this is certainly one of the most i'm
pressive. Something far out at the ha-
zy edge of things draws one forever to-
ward it. The fret and chaflng of the
world are forgotten and become part
of the oblivion of a restless past.
THE SPRING.
The spring flows directly from the
top of the before mentioned cone, IN
which a large reservoir 20 feet In diam
.eter and 40 feet deep has been excavat-
ed. This has been walled and scemented
and is covered with comfortable and
graceful open pavilion having paved
floor and comfortable seats around Its
entire circumference. Here a great
stream, at temperature sufficient to
poach an egg or scald fowl for pick
ing, gushes forth at the rate Of 6,00t
gallons an hour. This Is piped to large
cooling tanks; into every room In the
hotel; over the entire grounds and tt
the we'll fitted bath houses at its
base. The bath house equipments arr

The curative qualities Of the water
OF these springs have been known TO
a long time, but 1t is only In recen
years that this has become widely ex
plotted and their availability fully de
yeloped. Rheumatism, stomach an
kidney troubles, and all blood and ski
diseases yield most readily to thei
persuasive healing powers. For any
