There are in the vicinity of DenIing
approximately 100000 acres of rich,
level, irrigable land, not over three
percent of which has been reclaimed.
This land is cheap, but the develop
ment of the same requires some CAPT
tai, and men with energy and enter
prise, and sense enough to see the
great opportunity. We know of no
better way to induce the character Of
immigration we want than to-tell you
about the opportunity, as we are do
ing now, and cordially invite you here
to look over the situation.
The water supply which is destined
to irrigate and reclaim this tremen-
dous area is peculiar in that it is be-
low the surface Of the valley, and
must be. pumped from twenty to
eighty OF ninety feet. This is COM
pafatively a new method of irrigation
In this section Of the country. It has
been proved to be absolutely the best,
most effective, cheapest, and alto

known to man in other parts of the
west, and we can show you enough
when you come here to convince you
that it is a wonderful improvement
over the gravity ditch and the ar
tesian well. All that we ask In this
connection is that you come here and
see for Yourself. The water of the IN
derflow of the Mimbres Valley is the
purest water in America. It filters
for fifty miles through clean sand and
gravel, and reaches Deming and the
Valley in the vicinity of Deming, in a
state of absolute purity. Irrigation
pumps bring it out of the ground at
the rate of 1000 and fifteen hundred
gallons per minute. It contains no
harmful element to sterilize the soil,
it contains no seeds Of noxious weeds
to poison up the fields of the farmer.
The soil of the Mimbres valley
varies from a light sandy soil to a
heavy adobe. Lee A. Phillips, asso-
ciate counsel for the Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance Co., in charge Of loans,
