~ ARRIZOZO, n. NJ, Aug. 26-AI-
though Carrizozo is but four
years old its development has
been rapid and permanent At the
present time its prospects are bright
er than at any time since it's incep-
ton. The beginning Of the year saw
the completion Of the new $4,000
high schol building and this month
the new Methodist church was cora
sleted at a cost of $4,000.
Much Mining Activity.
There has been much activity IN
the mining industry in this vicinity
during the past year The Economic
Mining & Milling company has spent
a large sum developing its property
which is six miles south of town The
property is a silver-lead proposition
and several rich strikes have been
made on the property during the
year. The tunnel in the mountain Is
now almost completed to connect with
the shaft and the mine will begin
shipping ore to the -smelter at an early
date. Enough ore is already IN sight
and blocked out to justify installing
a concentrator.
At White Oaks more men are en-
plOyed in the mines at the present
time than have been for a number OF
years. The best producing mine at
the present time is the North Home
stake, which is operated by the Wild
Cat Leasing company. This mine
ships thousands of dollars worth or
gold every month to the mint at San
Francisco and the mine has already
produced comfortable fortunes for
the lessees-
Active Coal Mining
A company has been formed to
operate the Omega coal mine, which is
located three and half miles south
of town A tunnel has been driven
at the mine $50 feet and the vein at
that distance has widened out to the
extent of four feet. Equipment has
been secured from a mine at the
Mocking Bird Gap and the mine will
be operated this fall to furnish coal
for Carrizozo and vicinity.
good deal of development work
has been done by R. B. Thomas on his
iron property this year. which is To-
Gated in the Oscuro mountains IS
miles west OF here. The property
now shows a vein Of iron ore more
than 10 miles in length.
Extensive Road Work.
Much work of a permanent nature
has been done the past year on the
public highways, the most needed and
most costly. piece of work being the
completion of the road up Nogal HILL
The grade on Nogal hill was reduced

Finance and Realty.
A report from the banks shows that
a steady increase has been made in this
business during the year. approximate
1y s1.000.00 is now on deposit in the
institutions. The banking business IS
satisfactory and the loans give no
more losses than in a more settled
community. The merchants are on a
firm foundation and enjoy good cred
1t. Each quarter gives evidence OF in
creased local prosperity.
Real estate in city property OF the
better class, has been very active this
fall on account of the desire of so many
to build permanent homes. A good
price is being maintained and along
South second street, especially corner
lots in instances have doubled in value
during the year.
Public Improvements.
The county commissioners have been
busy making improvements. A new
concrete Jail has been erected at a cost
of from $4,000 to $4,000. New rooms
have been added to the county court
house and new furniture installed In all
of the offices Over 800 black locust
and poplar trees have been set out in
turning OF this into a public park. A
well Is now being sunk so that a pri-
vate system of waterworks may be
had for buildings and grounds. A new
iron fence has been put up at cost of
nearly $1,000.
Good Roads
A systematic campaign for good
roads has been inaugurated in the
county. $4,000 having been appropriated
at the last session for this purpose and
for the construction of bridge over
Plaza Largo south of here. Four roads
will lead from this bridge up the Cap
Rock, one through Apache canyon, one
up Raglan canyon, the others up Tay-
lor and Hartford canyons. These will
be of great benefit to the business of
Tucumcari as they will bring trade to
this place which has up to this time
gone in other directions. A road up
