COPPER Co. INCORPORATED
Nine at Mountain PARK Is Producing
Rich ore.
CARLOAD OF MACHINERY IN TRANSIT

Articles Of incorporation of
the Hunt Copper company were
filed for record in the county
clerks office Wednesday of this
week. The capital stock is ST.
600, 1000 and the incOrporatOrs are
+. W. Hunt, with district offices
at Oscuro, Henry J, Cox, Jennie
Hunt, Charles A. Travis and G. K.
Wilkinson.
Outside of the stockholders
and residents in the immediate
vicinity the property is unknown,
little or no effort having been
made at exploitation or adver-
vertising, the owners being full
ly aware they had Il rich proper
ty, therefore satisfying them
selves with operating the mine,
and shipping ore, and pocketing
the profits.
The mine is three miles from
Mountain Park and has been a
paying shipping proposition for
some time. Work and shipping
will be suspended for a short
time awaiting the arrival of a
complete set Of mining machin-
cry for the extensive and eco
nomical working of the mine.
The Hunt property is the first
and only one in this district that
has gone beyond the mere super
fetal prospect, as this mine has
Il shaft 100 feet deep and in
starting the drifts at this level
the rich ore was encountered in
vast quantities. Ore has already
been blocked out sufficient to
run the machinery for year.
When the machinery arrives
and is installed and a large force
of men is put to work it is said
the mine will become one of the
largest and richest producers in
the territory.
The fact that this property has
been developed into rich cop
per producer effectively proves
the statements of mining experts
that the Sacramento range is
mineral bearing, and only re-
quires energetic and intelligent
developing to add another profit
able industry to the Sacramento
valleys already large list.

Unanmi Of Fruit Growers Pedsng Acreage GOupe Culture
Success Of Industry. Improvement Company VIII Plant 100 Acres.

Of the use of land without charge
to any who wanted to put in
acreage in melons, Mr.. McFate
even offering to pay a bonus of
50 an acre as an inducement that
the enterprise be carried out.
Before the meeting adjourned
a list was made up from those
present who would agree to plant
certain quantities next spring,
and 21O acres were pledged within
ten minutes.
The meeting for last Saturday
evening was so hurriedly ar
ranged that many were not there
who would have been had they
known of the plan, but the meet
ing this evening in the rooms of
the Alamo Business Mems club
has been very thoroughly adver-
tised, SO that those from Tula-
rosa and La Luz and the entire
surrounding neighbOrhood will
be present.
Outside Of the new industry OF
cantaloupe raising, the great ad-
vantage offered to the fruit
growers who have orchards but
no markets, will result in their
fruit crops being handled and
marketed in systematic man.
ner which will probably more
than double the returns they
have heretofore received from
crops of fruit.
The extent of the orchards in
Alamogordo, La Luz, and Tula-
rosa is a great surprise to those
who have never seen the orchards,
some of which are ten to thirty
years old. To see these orchards
of thousands of symmetrical
trees, all in splendid condition,
gives one some idea of the i'm
portance and value of the fruit
crop of this valley, and with the
packing, shipping and marketing
facilities that the Alamogordo
Fruit Growers association will
give, the real value in dollars
per acre will be determined, and
it is safe to predict an agreeable
surprise for all con cerned.

HOW TO SECURE
ACCURATE INFORMATION

Farmers and fruit raisers
should not overlook opportuni-
ties to acquire information upon
many subjects furnished by the
department of agriculture at
Washington, D. G. Many SUBJ
jects are carefully investigated,
and information furnished. This
information is generally full and
reliable. The department is
maintained at public expense
and is glad to- come in touch
with intelligent farmers, who
wish the information. The year
books are mines of information,
and pamphlets upon special sub
jects are valuable. Write to the
department, and ask for list of
pamphlets. Then write for such
as you wish.

in order that all may have water
and to avoid the unfair condi-
tion of a man with a we'll pre-
pared field waiting indefinitely
for the person who tries to irri-
gate ungraded and poorly arrang-

Showing what can be accom-
plished in the way Of economy
of time and water in irrigation,
there is a small area Of properly
prepared alfalfa field i'll Alamo
gordo, which contains 2.53 acres.
BY actual timing it took one
man exactly three hours to per-
fectly irrigate this field. The
