A. X Chapman is in receipt of aA
vices from J. d. Clark of Canon City,
saying that he will be in Durango
about Saturday, accompanied by ten
or fifteen men who are coming TO visit
Pennington to look over the famous
New Mexico fruit belt for the first
time.
Mr. Chapman will take as many of
the party as he can carry in his new
automobile, which he and his part
ner' Mr.. Anderson, have recently pur-
chased.
Messrs. Chapman and Anderson

where opportunities are open to

1t is gratifying to know that old
settlers are coming from recog.
nized fruit section like Canon City
and locating in San Juan county, N.
NJ, and this should be ample evidence
that the New Mexico fruit belt offers
the greatest attractions of any fruit
section in the west.

Ed Hollingsworth returned last
evening from Ojo Caliente, where he
put in the past month. Mr.. Hollings
worth felt much rested by his trip
He said that while he was there a
man arrived from Winnipeg to try
the healing qualities of the springs.
and It was not uncommon for people
to come from as distant places as San
Francisco, New York and London.
He said he would rather have Oio Cal
iente hot springs than the Gold King
mine, for some time the ore would be
exhausted and the waters of the
springs never would. Mr.. Hollings-
worth says these are the only mineral
Springs in the United States from
which a sediment does not settle
The waters are dissolving. 1t is
well known fact that anything placed
in the water at Pagosa Springs is

This substance when placed in TIE
water at Ojo Caliente soon dissolves.
The government reports place the Ojo
Caliente springs in separate class
from all other springs in the United
States The place is remote and out
of the way, being thirteen miles from
the railroad. No effort is being made
to advertise the place, the only ad-
vertising it gets being by people who
have been there telling about it. The
springs are on an old Spanish grant,
and one of the provisions made by the
first owner in handing it down to his
heirs was that they should forever
have the privilege of free bathing.
And this is why there are free baths
provided for the natives.
