VALLEY LOOKS
FOR GREAT PROSPERITY
MORE BUILDING GOING ON THAN
EVER BEFORE AND CATTLE AND
PRODUCE BRING GOOD PRICES

Roswell, N. NJ. June 21.-Roswell
and the entire Pecos valley is now on
the eve OF asperiod1of prosperity never
before known in this section. This is
the general opinion of the substantial
business me of the valley.
Just at present more building is go
ing on in the valley than for many
years past and more building con-
tracts are being signed every day. 1t
is the general impression that though
the fruit crop has been somewhat dam;
aged, and even though the long dry
period has hurt TO some extent, that a
time of prosperity is about to arrive
that will surprise even the most opti-
nJistic.
This year the hay men are to receive
more for their produce than ever be-
fore in the history Of the valley. To
meet the necessities Of the case large
hay barns have been built on many
farms and the crop this year will be
man thousand tons more than aver
before. This fact is not only true OF
the alfalfa, but also of all other feed
stOffs. The price will be higher and
the harvest greater.
Cattle are at top price and even ex-
pected to- go higher, If that be possible.
The calf crop this year will average a
better per cent than for many years.
The same is true Of the lamb crop.
The price OF wool is advancing and
the prices this year exceed those Of
former years.
Never before in the history of this
valley have so many farms added live
stock. oven the smaller farms have
a few hogs, q few cattle, and a few
sheep feeding. This alone will mean
much money to all the farmers. The
lisestock in the valley has been great
ly increased during the last twelve
mu9ths. This in fact means that the
have doubled the amount Of
resources.

THOUSANDS or SHADE TREES,
NEW CITY HALL, DORMfToRY
AND COTTAGES AMONG THE I'M
PRoVEMENTS.

Silver City, NJ M, June 20.-The
Chino Copper company is making ex-
tHnsiye improvements at Hurley.
which when completed VIII make that
camp n OF the biggest and most
completely equipped mill towns in
America, says the Enterprise. These
improvements are not only industrial,
but include civic improvements as
we'll. For instance, thousands Of
shade trees have been planted and a
handsome new city hall is under con-
struction. A new dormitory for the
ONCE boys is near completion as we'll
as neat cottages for the employees.
These cottages have been erected Just
south of the ball park, a new addition
having been laid out. Seventy more
cottages have been contracted, aud 1t
is expected win be completed within
the next three or four months. The
town is growing by leaps and bounds
and has completely Outgr0wn the old
town limits which are being extended
on every side.
A new flotation mill, to treat the
tailings, is under construction and
will, 1t Is said, ii recent experiments
prove successful, save upwards of a
million dollars worth Of copper in the
shines from the mill. The Janney pro-
cess OF flotation, invented by the late
Frank Janney, brother of the Hurley
mill superintendent, has been adopted
and is proving highly successful. An
other flotaticn unit has been added to
the mill, making five units now, the
old vanners having peen superseded
by the flotation method.
The new flotation mill and the addi-
tions to the concentratof necessitated
the enlarging OF the power plant. An
other $500 kilowatt turbine engine
and generator has been ordered and
two new boilers installed.
