M|ADRfS HOT SPRINGS
GREAT HEALTH RESORT
HAS GOOD RECORD OF CURES


Direct from the unquenchable fires
that burn at the earth's core. comes
the hot water that runs through the
radiators of the Mimbres Hot
Springs Hotel, thiriy-eight miles
north Of Deming. The heating plant
is connected directly by n pipe with
one Of the two score of springs the
temperatures of which reach $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. above zero. The
rooms are always comfortably warm
and the radiators 50 hot that the
bare hands would BE- burned ly be-
ing placed upon them for any length
of time. As the thermal springs are
higher than the building gravity
alone is needed to bring the water
into Il.
What more unique heating sys-
TEN is there in the world, or more
desirahlef No coal bills; no firing
the furnace: no repairs to boilers
no attendance. Night aud day the
temperature is the same. In addi-
ton there is always hot water for
the lavatory and bath and without
stint.
A cold spring, just few feet from
the hot one, supplies the necessary
cold water. What would the aver
age Demingite not give for such
supplyf
Not only, however. do the waters
bestow these agreeable Injuries. but.
for more important, they freely offer
their curative properties to those

drinking at and bathing in the spark

are to be found there ioyfully testify
to the Regeneration which they have
found Nm the pleasant canyon among
the New Mexico hills. More and
more, persons from Il distance are
coming to enjoy the water and bright
sunshine that mean health. aud
new zest in living. The residents of
Silver City. Deminc. and Fl Pas"

wooded slopes Of Mount Sawyer in
the Black Range, and il is yet near
enough TO Deming to make il acces'
sible to tourists aud health seekers
who arrive over the Santa Fc. ri
Paso and Southwestern. or South

ihirty-eight miles is over the hes,
highways Of the Mimbres Valley and
the rest is over hill roads that are
rough but easily negotiable by III
automobile. Two hours and hall
going and fifteen or twenty minutes
less than that returning is accounted
fair time. Part of the hill roads

Leaving Deming, with Cooks Peak
dead ahead, the motorist finds
good road over the bridge of the
Mimbres river, the dry bed Of which
stretches for miles, its sunken waters
giving life to agriculture in the Min

road to Dryer it runs bank full OF

orchards of the Upper Mimbres. The
highway winds along the fertile
valley. sheltered on either side by
high hills that sometimes approach
the river so close that u gorge Is

At Old Town the famous old bn'-

There are many MeSicans that siin
