Work is under way at the w. A.
Casper ranch in the Arenas Valley,
on improvements to cost when com
pleted, approximately $l5,0OJ b +.
Endlich and w. w. Stephenson, con-
tractors, are now building new
residence on the Casper ranch. Their
contract also calls for the erection of
large, modern dairy barn to accom-
modate so cows, and two 40-foot silos.
All construction work will be along
scientific lines and will make the
ranch one OF the largest dairy farms
in the county. Recently, Mr. Casper
contracted 10 furnish the United
States Public Health Service hospital
at Fort Bayard with milk and cream.
That SS50,0O0 is to be expended in
en!argements and improvements at
the United States Public Health Ser
vice hospital at Fort Bayard is the
information received in a telegram to
the Grant County Chamber of Com
merce from Washington. This is
100000 more than the original ap-
preparation, which was %500O0
Now that the sum is TO be expended
at Fort Bayard has been definitely
agreed upon, it is believd that iinme-
date work will begin. A large amount
of skilled and unskilled labor is avail
able, due to the closing OF the mines,
and construction operations could be
rushed to early completion.
The expenditure of $850,0o0 at Fort
Bayard will make that hospital one
of the largest and most modern in
the United States.-Silver City Indep-
