sition. The committee as announced

sons: DR.. S. ID. Swope,J w. HanniRan,
C.. H. Hon, &. l.. Baker and w. {.
Wallis-fve good square substantial
men, every one of whom will consider
the two ways which were suggested OF
securing the well and will consider the
resources of the community and will
make their recommendations TO this
meeting. You should be there to con
slider.
The committee will ascertain every
detail of the 80 called "Burdick prop
vsition, which in brief is that Mr..
Burdick offers to put up Four Thous
and Dollars to drive test well If the
citizens of Deming will put up another
Four Thousand Dollars, upon the un-
derstandihg that the well shall belong
to Mr.. Burdick when completed. He
guarantees to go at least Twelve
Hundred feet and is willing To- meet Us
on the same basis, Dollar for Dollar, if
water in sufficient quantity is en-
countered at or before this depth.
The second proposition involves the
organization of little stock company,
in which cvegy con ributor will become
a stockholder. nj own portion Of
the we'll 1t will necessitate tho rais-
ing Of from Eight Thousand Dollars
upward by popular subscrirtion and
will receive careful consideration at
the hands Of the committee.
The committee will also ascertain as
far as possible the relative willingness
of our people to contribute on each OF
the two propositions, and with this in
view will recommend either one or the
other for our consideration.
The Graphic has for more than two
wears consistently urged upon the "A %
tention of its readers the tremendous
benefits which we would derive from q
successful effort Of this sort We feel
that nothing has come up for the con
sideration Of our people during all the
wears of our residence here more vital
" important than this well project,
We have known a good deal Of wei
drilling in the past. and il was our
fortune to know something of the first
driven we'll which was attempted here,
and from our experience, and from oul
knowledge. we prophesy successful
issue from this experiment.

hance the value of your property,

good well will multiply yol opportunl'
/ ties of employment.

crerse with the increase Of our popu

i convenience. but he will add value I,
I every animal, raised either in the hill
. or on the non-watered plains, whc
will be measured exactly by the differ
ence between the price here and IN
4, price received from the Eastern mar
ket to which you ship.
Are you simply loitererhere, livin
among us because some necesslt
makes this your home? The gree
