wells form the basis ,
of the farming: development In
tli- Mimbres valley. It has bee
d monstrated, and the reports of vari
c engineers of national reputation
a - 'nnclusl-ve. that the water supply
of the Mimbres valley is ample to con
fer: the entire area of Ue valley into
c n- huge alfalfa field. We know where
the water is. and the character of
strata in which it occurs. Therefore
the matter of reclaiming: the Mimbres
i.-'lley resoUes itself Into the mechan
ical proposition of devising cheap and
effe tive rr-ans of getting the water
into the top of the ground.
There are those who claim that a
I i 'jerly constructed wen in mis vaney
jld develop artesian water. Two ar-
tsisn well experts who have recently
sited th. valley are of this opinion.
- W Bramlette. of California, who
i s b-en in the artesian well business
t r , ears states that there is abso-
lu-U no doubt that this region ha
tes:an water. He outlines the fol-
1 'ng method for developing it. The
v 1 drill needed, according to Mr.
H amlette, is that known as the Cali
fornia type. Stovepipe casing should
t ued and forced down immediately
ft ilowing the drill.

shows him that in subsequent wells,
tre 300 toot stratum is to be left cased .
off He next perforates the stratum at
the 740 foot level, and finds that the ,
water rises This shows him that this
stratum has an artesian head. Thus by
e' urinating those strata which have no
artesian head and merely allow the I
water frpm the well to flow out, and
hi determining whach strata have ar-
teslan pressure and letting them and
i' em only into the well,- Mr. Bramlette
It of the opinion that artesian water
can easily be developed here. No such
well has been attempted as yet.

Rotary Rigs Abandoned.
Rotary rigs for well-drilling in the
Mimbres Valley have practically been
abandoned. While drilling with this
character of rig. the sand and graTel
strata carrying water are clayed up so
as to are vent caving until the hole Is
completed and the casing Inserted.

in order to make the hole stand up Is
considered a dangerous practice.
There are many ordinary dug wells
In the Mimbres Valley furnishing water
for Irrigation. The well of Reed" and
Carter, a .mile west of Demlng, Is a
good example of this type of well. It
is dag with pick and spade down 65
feet. Then the pump was pumped on
to keep the water out of the way, and
well-diggers dug as much deeper, as
possible, about five feet A perforated
cement brick curbing was used In the
bottom of this weU, and it has Proved
- successful. The plant at present
delivers about five hundred gallons of
water per minute, and tie well itself

A nw type Of well known as
"the
air-tight well" is now being tried out
here by Messrs. McMath Bros., of vaea
ville, Calif. They used a No. 5 Key
stone rig operated with a 26 horse
power steam engine. A regular drop
drill is used for ordinary boring, and
the drill is replaced by a sand-backet
when caving strata are encountered,
the casing being1 forced down right
after the sand-bucket. The ordinary
well of this type is cased wiyi twelve
Inch casing down to the bottom of the
first water-bearing stratum, and the
hole is then reduced to eight inches
an? continued on down as before
through, the second water bearing
stratum. K the two strata thus far
encountered seam to be strong enough
to furnish tne amount of water desired
the well is stopped at this point. A
niece of eight ich casing is cut just
long enough to reach from the topf
the second stratum to the top of the
first stratnm. -This piece of casing is
dropped down in the eight-inch hole.
The larger twelve-inch casing is then
tacked np nntll Its lower end Is Just
Below the level of the first waterbear
ing stratum, thns leaving access for the

end of the twelve-inch casing and ttae.
upper end of the eight inch casing, and
also through the lower end of the eight
Inch easing which is embedded In the
second stratum.
DIksIbc; the Pit.
A nit is then dug around the easing
of sufficient size to allow tne lnstala-
Uon of the character of pump desired
' down bo the water-level. At the wa-
'ter-teel the twelve-incn casing is cut
anji the pump Installed, using tne cas
ing below as a suction, and reducing
from the pump to the regular twelve
TncH casing which acta as the dis
charge. This type of well has not been thor
oughly tested Here yet. The only one
now put down is that of Dr. O. O. Os
born, four miles east of town, and the
pump is not yet installed, so it is im
possible to say what the well will de
liver. There are now some fifteen well
rigs in the valley all wfth contracts
ahead, on firm having as many as ten
contracts to fulfil. As expedience in
this field is enlarged. better and
cheaper wells are possible.

What More
judge v values by comparing values. A dollar
article from one man is worth only one dollar from an
othernot a dollar and a half. Smith, who pays a higher
rent, operates extravagantly, and does little business, must take
care of his " overheads " by inflating values. Therefore, he tacks
an extra ten to twenty per cent, on everything he sells. But
Jones, who sells the same goods, but.sells more of them, and does
not have the additional rents and numerous other overhead
charges to take care of, sells you his standard goods minus this ten
to twenty per cent, inflation. Jones is the man to deal with.
Apply this to automobiles.
The car shown here is our famous, forty-five horsepower
touring rar. It is priced at $1500. . This'car "has everything of
any practical value that any $1800 or $2000 car in America has.
Do you question this ?
Then run over these facts:
First of all, this car has a powerful forty-five horsepower
motor. It seats five large passengers. The operating levers are
in the center where they should be. The selective transmission
is fitted with the finest F & S annular bearings the best made.
It has a full floating rear axle. Both front and rear axles are
fitted with the famous Timken bearings. The pressedsteel frame
has a double drop. The magneto' is a Bosch. The tires are big.
The bpcly is'finished in deep rich Brewster green trimmed with
heavy nickel plate. The lamps are dead black trimmed with
nickel. Self-starter only $20 extra.'
It is a magnificent, strong, powerful car. It has all the beauty
and comfort that is possible to get in a popular priced car. You
cannot find a weakness or a flaw. It is sound and thorough.

made of the best material on the market by the most modern

Can you pick any $1800 or $2000 car that gives you more than
this ? To be sure, you might get a few inches Jonger wheel base,
or a little larger wheels, but what does that amount te ? And at
that, you will find the car with a little larger wheel base has a
much smaller motor. For all of which you are asked to pay any
where from $300 to $500 extra.
We repeat, there is not an $1800 car made that offers you any
more than this one for $1500. '
Why?
It is made by the largest factory in -the world. These enor
mous plants, by reason of their huge operations, can buy mater
ial, handle material, make parts, and sell cars at smaller costs
than anybody else in the business. We make 25,000 cars a year.
The average standard plant turns -out about 5000. That's tho
difference.
Right now we are shipping eighty cars a day. In round fig
ures this, is a business of about $72,000.00 a day. In a short time
we will be shipping 150 cars a day. This is a business of
$135,000.00 a day. Would these thousands and thousands of
shrewd people select the Overland in preference to all others if
we did not give them more car and a better car for less money?
There are over 2000 Overland dealers. (
Let our dealer in this city (name and address below) take
you out in this car and give you a thorough demonstration. Let
him show you the unusual value. See this car, then see some of
the higher priced cars. This will prove to your own satisfaction
that our $1500 car will give you all the power, speed, comfort,
