Experts and mining men of all sorts
are t%hronging the streets of Deming
now looking for and into New Mexican
and Luna county mining properties.
Many good properties have recently
| been opened up in this vicinity and a
| good deal of attention has lately been
| directed this way.
1t is said on very good authority that
there will be a small independent smell
| ter erected at Hachita, south of here
| en- the Ell Paso & Southwestern. Vari-
| Gus rumors are also current regarding
| plans of the Rock Island and the Du-
range road with regard to Deming.
These are somewhat indefinite, but
they might do worse than come to
! Deming. and they realize this.
The parties interested in the estab-
lishment of a national sanitarium some
where in the southwest, have cast
their eyes on Deming in high approval.
1t is probable that a commission will
shortly visit this section with a view
to looking into the suitability of this
place and section as regards climate
and water and other facilities, and II
they once get here there is little doubt
as to their decision. This is n of the
greatest enterprises of this kind evei
proposed, and its results should be fal
reaching indeed.

The work on the additions to tn
school house is being pushed rapid
and we expect to have ample accom-
modations for all the children in
v short time now. The work has bee
. delayed on account of the difficulty c
securing building material, as so niue
building has been and is going or i
n Deming that it is hard to get materis
in n quantity on demand.
