PECOS VALLEY LIVE STOCK
AND CROP PRODUCTS LARGE

A. M. Hove, special representa-
tive of the Santa Fe railroad was
a visitor to the capitol city the
first part of the present week.
Mr.. Hove informed the State Rec
ord that Eddy and Chaves counties
had already shipped over 1900 cars
of alfalfa hay between May first
and August eleventh and that the
total shipment of the year will
reach over 5000 cars, according to
the present estimate.
Roosevelt county, which has
heretofore fed practically all of its
crops to live stock, made its first
shipment of car of wheat last
week from Portales. The first car
of grain ever shipped from Fort
Sumner also went out last week.
Mr.. Hove estimates that the to-
tai shipment OF wheat from points
along the Santa Fe between Fort
Sumner and the Oklahoma line
of which Curry county is the heav-
lest producing section, will aggre
gate 5000 cars of 1000 bushels each
for the season. Thirteen hundred
cars have already been shipped
from points along this line.
The cotton crop in Eddy county
and in Chaves, where planting has
extended north almost to Roswell,
is beginning to bloom and the pro-
poets are that the production will
be very large and the quality first
class.
The range has been good up 10
the present time and cattle are in
fine condition all over New Mexico
and Western Texas, but in many
places rain is beginning to be need
ed in order to insure grain for win
ter grazing. The Indian corn. ka-
fir and milo maize forage crops will
be the largest ever produced in this
section of the west. Fields OF Ir-
dian corn this year will rival IN ap-
pearance and will excel in quantity
per acre the usual production Of
Iowa and other corn belt states.

is-DAY RUN OF NEW
MILL NETS $4,000

The new gold and silver cyanide
mill of the Duncan Mining & Mill
ing company. in the. Steeplerock
district, western Grant county, was
completed about a month ago and
recently made its first trial on the
gold and silver ores. and the first
cleanup in eighteen days. yielded
a bar Of bullion which sold at the
United States mint in San Francisco
for S20lOo0. Most Of the ore treat
ed was taken out in development
work and averaged about 81. in
gold and silver per ton. The total
cost Of mining and milline the ore
was only $500 per ton. The ore is
free milling and occurs in immense
bodies. The mill is now handling
about 100 tons Of ore daily and the
next cleanup will probably yield a
far greater amount Of bullion than
the initial run. About 90 men are
employed in the mine and mill.
The capacity Of the mill Is 100
tons a dav but will be increased to
rs tons daily al once. The mill IS
the last word in milling and cyanide
practice, and is probably one Of the
most complete OF its kind in the
United States.
The mine Is developed to the third
level or 325 feet. The ore above
the second level is estimated to be
worth sls00on. and ls feet wide
along the hanging wall has an av-
erage value Of s21. per ton.
Much richer ore occurs in the big
vein. il IS said. and one shot knock
