SMALLER YIELDS IN
SALT RIVER VALLEY
Extreme Heat of Summer
Months Hard on Alfalfa
and Other Crops
HARMONY PREVAILS WATER $50 AN ACRE
Most Valuable Land Irrigated
by Electrically Driven
Pumps

The most valuable land in the
Salt River Valley of Arizona is that
which is irrigated by the well sys-
tenn. II. M. Coleman and A. w.
Sloss have just returned from an
investigation of the conditions in
that section and declare the above
statement to be true. Land under
the ditch five to twelve miles out of
Phoenix is worth $S5 to $3.50 an acre.
while land in the pumping district
twenty-five miles northwest of Phn-
nix is now selling at $500 an acre.
This land adjoins a station on a
small branch line Of railroad.
PUMPING BY ELECTRICITY.
Electric power for driving the
irrigation pumps in this section is
generated from a dam and sold to
the farmers at one and one-half
cents X. w. The tract embraces
5000 acres with a pumping plant on
each 200 acres. The land is sold in
twenty-acre plots. Only one well
has been brought in so far and this
throws 900 gallons a minute with a
lift of eighty-four feet.
SMALL YIELDS.
The farmers located under the
ditch of the Roosevelt project must
pay SLIGO an acre maintenance.
The water right costs them $50 an
acre, which may be paid to the Gov
ernment in eleven equal yearly pay
ments. The alfalfa grown in the
Salt River Valley will yield only five
and one-half tons to the acre on the
acre on the average, which brings
generally about $3.50 ton in the
Phoenix market. The small yield is
attributed to the excessively hot
weather during the midsummer
months.

FIVE GREATEST MINING CONCERNS
MAY MERGE If PLANS MATERIALIZE
Greatest Single Deposit Of Iron Ore the World is Located
Near Fierro and Hanover in Santa Rita Mining District
Colorado Iron and Fuel Company Now Shipping Fifty
Cars Per Day Through Deming. Payroll at Santa Rita
and Hurley is $4,000 per Month

Within the next five years 25, 600
to 1000 people will be laboring in
the mines and smelters tributary to
Deming and will be supported by
payroll of approximately $780, 900 a
day. Deming with its great rail-
road facilities and the Mimbres Val
ley with its agricultural wealth will
benefit directly from this great min
ing activity.
GREAT COMPANIES MAY MERGE.
The st. Louis Smelling and Rein
ing Co., the National Lead Co., EN-
pire Zinc Co., the Colorado Iron and
Fuel Co. and the Phelps-Dodge Co.,
five of the great mining concerns of
the world, are the owners of the
greatest single deposit of iron ore
in the United States near Fierro and
Hanover in the Santa Rita Mining
district, forty.five miles northwest
Of Deming. Representatives Of all
these companies have been in DEM
ing looking over the ground with
the intention of bringing about
merger of the interests. Every ton

plies for the workings are now pass.
ing through Deming. 1t will be up
to the farmers of the Mimbres Val
ley to supply the food for this grow
ing army. The Phelps. Dodge inter-
ests are now establishing their head
quarters here. 1t is estimated that
there is lO0,OOO,0OO tons of ore in
this deposit. The Colorado Iron and
Fuel Co. is now shipping fifty cars
of ore through Deming to its smelt.
ers in Pueblo.
GREAT COPPER MINES.
The latest report of the Chino
Copper Co., at Santa Rita, showed
43,0O0,O00 tons of copper ore ex-
posed and only one-third of the
holding prospected. All of this ore
is reduced at Hurley. The monthly
payroll at these two places is now
$4,000 a month and rapidly increas.

tains and Chemung companies, in
the Burro Mountains district, il in
sured the exploitation of $50, 600, 600
worth of commercial copper ore now
exposed, and more, undoubtedly, as
only a small part of the holding has
been prospected. In the same dis
trict. fifty miles northwest of Dem
ing, the Savannah Copper Co. has
drilled about 300 acres of its holding
and exposed $40, 900, 600 worth of
ore.
COOKS PEAK COMING.
Although small holdings are being
worked in the Cooks Peak district.
this section will not come into its
own until the American Smelling
and Refining Co. opens up its great
reserve block of zinc lead ore. This
will, without doubt, be done within
the next five years.
GOLD BULLION.
The Mogollon mining district is
also tributary to Deming, though it
is $50 miles northwest of the city.
1t is now producing about 5000, 900
worth of gold bullion a month,
which comes to Deming.
NEW RAILROAD PROPOSED.
There has been a well founded
rumor ahoat for several weeks to
the effect that Joseph Neeland, the
Los Angeles fnancier who secured
the concessions for the Pan.Ameri-
can railroad from Jalisco south, is
behind a plan to build a road from
Deming into the Gallup coal fields.
The advantages to Deming of such
an enterprise are almost too obvious
to need mention.
DEMlNG THE HUB.
The peculiar advantages of Dem
ing is of course that it is a railroad
center, and this alone makes it the
natural headquarters of the mining
operations in the surrounding noun
tains. A greater advantage, how
ever, is that it is surrounded by the
wide Mimbres Valley which will
produce the food for the workers,
In the latter respect it is without
competition in this section of The
Great Southwest.
