TYRONE JOINS RANK IF GHOST

Even Stores Will Soon Be Closed In Model
 Mining Camp

FL PASO, April 16.-The town of Tyrone. N. M.. is moving on, lock. stock and barrel. Much of it is go ing through El Paso. When the aban- donment is complete what was once village of 4,500 population will have but a dozen men, guards of the mine there. Closing of the Phelps Dodge Corporation copper mine at Tyrone brought about the modern edition of the deserted village.
 The abandonment will be virtually compete as far, as the Phelps Dodge Corporation is concerned Hugh H. Williams. chairman of the corporation commission of New Mexico who vis- tied the place a few days ago, wrote to the corporation commissions of fees at Santa Fe that probably not more than 12 watchmen would be by the corporat- on and that, of course, means moving day for hundreds not directly employed by the corporation, but who depended upon the corpora ton in one way or another.
 To Move Store Stock
 According to Williams, the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company's stock will be moved from the store to Doug las, Ariz, It was feared in Silver City and other nearby cities that the com pany would sell the stock at sale prices. Rival businesses d dn't view ever, was groundless, according to Williams. who said the company would ship the entire stock to Doug las ''at a loss..' O
 The store of the Phelps-Dodge Mer- cantile Company, which apparently will be abandoned when the company vacates its other property, is one of the finest buildings of the kind in the state-a large concrete building.
 Railroad Closes Down
 And there will be little use for Ty-i rome railway station, built by the Phelps Dodge people, which is one of the best in the state and described by men who have been there as one that could be pointed to with expanded chest by a city 10 times as big as Tyrone.
 The Fl Paso & Southwestern will discontinue service from Deming to Tyrone as soon as. the mercantile company's stock is moved. Two mix ed trains daily have been run over the branch-one each way. From Deming to Burro Mountain Junction the Fl Paso & Southwestern used the Santa Fe's track and from there to Tyrone it's own track. The Fl Paso & Southwestern will not run any train at all into the mining city, according to information received by the corpo- ration commission, and the only means of reaching the place will be by motor stage. No other raliway enters the place.
 .. =. .. Electric Plant Idle .. .. ..
 Tyrone has one of the biggest cleo tric power plants in the southwest also built by the Phelps Dodge people for the operation of the Burro Noun tain branch and lighting the camp if that word can be properly applied to Tyrone. The place also has hos pital theatre, library and one of the finest school buildings in the county all built by the corporation.
 It's anything but a typical mining camp" said a man who had visited Tyrone. As matter of fact, that's the last thing you would guess at first sight of the place from Inspira- ton Point. The bungalows are differ ent-those built for the corporations employees They're not all alike as they are in other mining camps From Inspiration Point Tyrone looks like a southern California city.
