A. GOOD INVESTMENT

Often a heading like the above j.
so MISLEADING, that we almost hesitate
20 use il and it it was not for the charac.
ter OF the investment of which we
speak, we would not have done 50.
But we refer to an investment that
will bear the most thorough investiga
ton, and will some day soon he taken
up by men who are wise enough to know
a gilt edged proposition when they see
il. In the Quay Valley, twenty miles
south OF Tucumcari there are 5000
acres of land of a rich dark sandy
loan, that this year produced splendid
crops with almost no gslnfall. Under
this land, water in abundance can be
gotten at a depth of from Is TO % feet.
The water is of the very best quality
for irrigation. Nels twenty-five feet
deep and ten feet across can be put
down for about twenty-five dollars each.
Four wells will furnish water enough
10 irrigate forty acres of this rich
land. The entire cost of putting down
the wells and building a reservoir, and
putting in Il pumping plant, for the forty
acres will not cost over twenty-five lol.
lars per acre, and the land can Ice
bought for from six TO ten dollars per
acre, making the total cost of land
under irrigation from thirty TO forty
dollars per acre. On forty acres of this
land under water, the owner can raise
a crop that will bring him not less
than twenty dollars an acre each year,
or in other words will produce crops
in two years that will pay for the land.
This land can be bought by people who
have not the means to put down the wells
at prices ranging from $50 TO $40 per
acre with interest on deferred payments.
Thus the investor and the buyer will
be benefited. The investor can Sc.
cure the deferred payments by first mort.
gage on the land, and with plenty Of
water and the rich soil of this section,
the purchaser can easily support his
family and pay for his land. This is
one OF the best propositions for the
investor that we know of, and is one
in which there can be no risk. This Is
a matter of vital intereS, to those who
own land but who are not in the posi-
tion to improve II. II is of great inter.
est to the business community, and IL
Is a matter that should receive serio-s
consideration from our Chamber Of
Commerce and the business men Of
Tucumcari. All that is necessary to be
done Is to intelligently present the facts
10 men Of means, and they will not be
low to take advantage OF the propsi.

SCHOOL NOTES

The week of the County Fair closed
the second month of the school and il
is interesting TO note the increase in
enrollm nj over the first month. The
last month saw ~ new pupils enrolled
so that we now have 573 enrolled. The
month wa jOs.s or an average of 30
more than were present each day the
first month.
While there has been Improvement
in prompt and regular attendance. there
il still too much carlessness shown in
this matter, say the teachers. We had
of the large attendance only 3G2 who
were neither tardy nor absent, and that
is not a good showing.
The teachers desire TO thank the pa
irons and public for the kind interest
taken in the school display at the Fair,
and particularly those who assist.
ed them in making IL a success. They
believe the time is near at hand when
our schools will be recognized as the
best in New Mexico, and that the in
terest of patrons indicates their will.
ingness 10 assist in every possible way
TO reach that recognition.
The athletes, orators and singers, to-.
gether with those who trained them,
are very much pleased at the outcome
of their work on Tuesday and wednes.
day of Fair Week. They appreciate the
courtesies extended them by the pub.
lie, and wish TO thank those who lent
their assistance in any way, The ex.
ceptional great interest taken has
caused the high school to plan even
better things for the public in the near
future.
The new flag floating over the north
building is the result of a campaign
for funds by the boys and girls in that
building. The teacher and children are
to be congratulated in their efforts to
be at the head Of the procession when il
comes 10 doing things.

BILLY BOY GROUP
 BOUGHT BY BLOCK
From Thursdays paiIy)

Announcement of the sale of the Billy Boy group of mines on the Hassayampa to Ed. Block, was made yesterday, and the property now is in his possession, which transaction closes the transfer of one of the best known of the pioneer locations in that belt.
 The property taken over lies in the Hassayampa district, near the east line of the Copper Basin dis trict, and about one mile from the Climax ground. The negotiations were concluded after a report was made by J. B. Tomlinson, the mine en- gineer, who spent several days in an examination of the group, during his recent visit to this county.
 MT. Tomlinson in his statement, says that he found a tunnel on the ledge for PIP feet, with the ore body continuous from the mouth to the breast and without break occurring in that distance. The values con- tained in this development showed, without asserting, $23.25 per ton, with gold predominating. One lot of ten tons plated s14 to the ton, with concentrates also in the yield.
 A winze runs from a point 16O feet from the mouth of this tunnel, reached a depth of fifty feet, with an ore body the entire distance, and shaft 95 feet deep also carried a continuous ore body. A thirty-fve ton lot taken from these two points gave the following returns: Gold, $23.15, silver, $10.55, copper $5, and lead $1.70, making a total value per ton of $40.40.
 MT. Tomlinson's examinations state that the ledge is from six to ten feet in width, and lies between DOT phyry and sehist walls, all of which carry some values. The principal paystreak is on the hanging wall and averages fourteen inches in width. The estimated value of the ore in sight reaches the sum of $30,O00.
 Taking into consideration the fact that this property is situated right on a living stream of water, a never failing supply of this commodity is available at all times for milling purposes or power service, giving it very desirable consideration in gold possibilities MT. Block will be- gin the development of his new ground in the near future, and feels very much elated at securing the group.
