A DEMING

indeed, We have t for a fact on very
reliable authority. Their immense
properties in Santa Rita and Hanover,
just north of Deming, where they have
large quantities of fine huxing ores,
make such a move certain. With such
an employer of labor as this will be,
furnishing employment to a large num-
Der of men, who will live here. and
spend their money here, there is bound
to be good times continued for the mer-
chants of Deming, and dwellings for
rent or purchase on the installment
plan Is bound to be a good investment.
But this is not all. for although this
company intends to put in this big
smelter here they have ample work for
it from their own propeties, n do
not care for custom trade.so that far
from fighting any customs smelter that
may be put up here they will welcome !
such an institution. Capitalists are
nov looking into the project and from
the favorable letters received from
them it is practically certain that such
an institution will be speedily erected
here to treat the products of the many
large mines IN the district of which
Demlng is the center. 1t is also highly
possible that Phelps, Dodge & Co. will
htit a A0AhCA " IL
of their matte to marketable copper
HOTELS.
Some big California hotel men are
investigating the hotel business in
Deming. with a view of establishing a
large hotel here, and are so well i'm
pressed with the prospects hat nego-
tiations have been entered into for the
purchase of property upon which to
erect a hotel of from fiftl to sixty
rooms. The many pilgrims to Deming
for health's sake who have had to seek
further simply because they could find
no accommodations here, make this
move one of sound business judgment,
and calculated to pay well.
BREWERY.
The excellence of the Deming water
and its abundance makes this an ideal
place for the establishment of a large
brewery, which would supply this
whole section of country, and with lie
assistance of this water to make tho
beer above par. there is no reason why
they should not do a good business
ever more ~distantly east and west.
Certain capitalists, realizing this, are
now making arrangements to consum-
mate this end, and it is safe to predict
that within eight months of the pres
ent date we will be drinking our W
beer and not by ourselves either.
THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
John Deckert, of this city. has every
thing ready to put up a three story
store. theatre and ONCE building on
the corner of Gold avenue and Pine
street. The first story will be let for
store purposes, the second will be built
70. thoafriooI nCnc ond thn third for
Offices. Mr.. Deckert is a keen bust
ness man, and may be relied on not to
lake a step of this kind unless it will
pay. and the fact that he is doing his
is a first class guarantee that Deming
is here to stay, and will continue to
grow.
STREET RAILWAY.
Prominent eastern capitalists have
so far Interested themselves in Dem
ing, and shown sufficient belief in
her future, as to have taken steps for
a trolley road in Deming, and nave as
sured us that as soon as the franchise
has been granted they will begin prep
arations for building, and this p~ractic-
ally assures Deming of a street railway
before 1903. With such faith in the
town expressed by men of capital it is
we'll for men with less money to get in
early and while values are compare
lively low. Although a street railway
here at the present would not much
more than pay expenses, these men are
loking forward. and are sure that with
the various interests being promoted
here their project will pay well. Such
a road will make property on the out
skirts of Deming accessible and very
valuable for homes.
OIL FIELDS.
The Luna county oil fields are being
exploited with little noise, but a great
deal of energy. These lie just about
twelve miles north of Deming and the
indications are pronounced by experts
from Pennsylvania and California as
good or better han any they have seen
