he was returning from the Neidig res

when near crossing the railroad
tracks he was accosted by two men
whom he did not know, at the point of
a revolver they forced him, under
threats of death, to accompany them
to the John Amicon store on Mill
street, and while one of the pair
kept guard over him, the other enter
ed the rear door of the room and
while in that room he was heard to
make some noise. Ormiston stated
that he made several attempts to
leave, but that he was told by his
guard each time that he would kill
him If he tried to get away or made
an outcry A little later the man
who had gone into the Amicon store
emerged and coming up to him plac.

pocket. Then they marched up at
the point of a revolver to a point
along the railroad tracks opposite
the plant of the Ohio Milling and
Elevator company, where he was Civ
en- his liberty and informed that If
he ever told of the incident he would
be promptly and unceremoniously eX-

formly successful i'm their operations.
Two of the largest and most tried
plants in the Mimbres valley are those
belonging to II. G. Ely and the Schulz
brothers, and 1t is claimed for these
plants that irrigations can be made at
cost OF 40 cents an acre. Crops, when
not assisted by natural moisture and
Campbell methods, require from three
to eight irrigations during the season.
practically all the pumping plants I'm
the Mimbres valley use crude oil or
gasoline.
In a number of instances the farmers
of the Mlmbres valley are going to-
gether and establishing a larger plant
for mutual use, as 1t has been found
that up to a certain limit the pumping
cost can be materially reduced with
total cost not In excess of the aggre-
gate OF their individual plants If in
stalled separately.
Cost Of Plants.
A compilation Of individual pumping
installations would indicate that for a
lift OF 100 feet, throwing 800 gallons a
minute, that the following figures will
give the approximate cost Of the diff
ferent kinds OF plants under ordinary
conditions, including driven well;
Gasoline engine and plant, including
10 percent for incidentals $1,000; steam
plant, with Is percent for incldentals
$4,000; crude oil plant, with 10 percent
for ERECTION and incldentals, $1,000;
producer gas plant and Is percent for
erection, etc, $3450.
Many plants can be, and have been,
put in for much less, but the above
figures are intended to cover com
plete plant OF each kind, Of the very
best construction, and expected to do
the work at the lift given. For a so
foot lift the same kind Of plants can
be put in for from $3.50 to $3.50.
In many OF the valleys OF the south
west successful farming has been done
with the natural rainfall assisted by
windmiMs, and in the Estancla valley
even the windmills are not considered
necessary for a sure crop. 1t may be

at the proper time will bring the crops
to maturity. 1t is eviGent that the
smaller the quantity of water to be
pumped the greater depth 1t may be
pumped from at profit, and 1t Is these
conditions which are as puzzling to
the oldtimer as to the newcomer, be-
cause the oldtimer in this country has
not attempted any such farming, and
has carried on his Investigations un-
der conditions of cultivation which con
templated the greatest amount of water
and the least amount Of cultivation,
conditions which are exactly reversed
with the socalled Campbell system.
The development of pumping for irri-
cation has been greatly aided by the
combining Of irrigation by gravity and
pumping, both being assisted by the
rainfall, Deming, N. NJ, being the GEN.
ter of the greatest advance in this new
departure.
The Mimbrcs Valley.
The Mimbres valley contains an Inn
mense area Of remarkably fertile land,
and is blessed with an almost mex
haustible underflow Of the purest wa
ter but the Mimbres river runs water
on the surface only during the rainy
seasons. and then for but few days
after each rain in the drainage system
above the lower reaches OF the valley
The land owners along this valley have
organized local ditch companies, and
after acquiring water rights have
taken out bitches to cover their lands.
These bitches are not expected to run
water when needed, but only during
the rainy season. This water Is taken
to the lands of the ditch owners and
run over the crops, or the prepared
ground, as the case wild be, according
to the season. This moisture Is stored
in the ground, which has been previous
ly prepared under the Campbell system,
and the cultivation of the crops con-
Quoted according to the most scientific
methods Wells have been put down,
tapping the underflow, and with indi-
vidual pumping plants the farmers of
that valley are ready to furnish the
growing crops the needed moisture at

Profit Is Certain On Small Pumping Plants

said here that wherever the new scien-
tiflc methods have been carefully tol-
lowed failures have been few, IL any,
and that almost any slight assistance
in providing moisture ut the proper
time would have done away with fall
ures altogether. This has been true
during the year 1909 in almost every
dry farming section of the southwest.
Pumping for irrigation Is growing
in popularity and the southwest IL
calling for a great many pumps ana
engines to be used for that purpose,
while the development OF electrical
power from both water and coal In the
districts where underflows have been
developed. must materially increase the
use OF pumps.
Advantages of Pumping.
The advantages of pumping Tor lrrl-
cation are all the advantages OF irri-
cation over the "hope for rain" farm
ing. and I'm addition the fact that the
owner OF the pumping plant can irrl-
gate just when it suits his own con-
venlence, or the needs OF his crops, ana
s. absolutely Independent OF any often
regulations or Inconvenience. AS the
average water right under ditch ls
con adhered cheap at $40 an acre, there
are many instances where II Is pos
s!ble to put in n pumping plant at about
the same cost as the water rights for
the same acreage, and with faVoraple
fuel conditions the annual cost Will not
be materially greater than the gravity
system, and the many advantages make
up for the difference in cost of opera
ton.
Deeper Pumping Profitable.
Pumping for irrigation is n demon
strated success, and so much OF a sue
cess that the government Will probably
put I'm number OF large pumping
plants in the very near future one in
New Mexico and two in Arizona. while
there should be an effort made to have
the state OF Texas put In an expert
mental pumping plant at some place
in western Texas where there Is
strong underflow Mt some depth. The
reason for seek ing greater depth for
the experimental plant Is the fact that
pumping from depths up to 200 feet
has already been successfully done In
many places in New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, and such depths are not expert
mental while It Is commended and Is
probable, that pumping can be done
from much greater depths and crops
raised at great profit.
