Over Big Tract Of Land.

cr of Chicago, and A. q. Spalding
Of San Diego, California, controlling
stockholders of the Rio Mimbrcs IT.
rigation Company, are in Deming for
few days visit. The purpose Of
their coming at this time Is to in
spect the development work on the
first unit of 5000 acres of their
holdings in the vicinity of Spalding.
None of these gcntlmcn has been here
for many months, the Fishers. father
and son. not having visited their
property interest, in Luna county,
since The beginning of construction
work nj the Spalding camp.
MANY WELLS TESTED
A. many of the company'> wells
have now been completed and official
ly tested by the state engineers de-
puties. and since enough wells have
been finished to yield n supply of
water believed to be sufficient to ir-
rigate the entire tract. Messrs.

GRATIFYING PROSPECTS
It is too early to report the result
of their findings at Spalding. where
they are now inspecting their prop

who have been in constant touch with
the high class development there TO
predict that the inspection will re-
suit in n most gratifying surprise nt
the extent and quality of the trans
formation that has been wrought.
TOWN OF SPALDING
II will be understood that il was
important, if not absolutely essential
to their intelligent comprehension of
the future requirements of this big
development enterprise. that its own
crs shond come ai about this time to
satisfy themselves rs I" the progress
of the work. Up to the present they
have been interested chiefly in the
subject of producing the cash neces-
sary to prosecute the entire de
vclopmcni. Now they are 1" face
problems of an entirely different ma
turc. The laying out of the town of
Spalding will need early considcra-
lion. and il is quitcly possible that
the definite location thereof will bo
settled at this conference of the own
