A pair of obsolete smokestacks in the southwestern New Mexico mining town of Hurley are to be demolished Today.

One of the smokestacks is 625 feet tall, and the other is 500 feet.

They are the last remnants of a Phelps Dodge copper smelter that closed in 2002 because of flagging copper prices and advances in copper extraction.

A Phelps Dodge spokesman, Richard Peterson, said the charges were placed on the two stacks Monday.

If the demolition doesn't happen by sundown, officials will try again on Wednesday.
