troleum, as has been shown by anal
ysis by a chemist in Ell Paso. Mr.
Nilsson, who has had about four
years experience, says it is petro-
leum of a high grade, and in fact al
most pure.
This peculiar hard flinty rock is
known as Trenton limestone, such as
has been found i'll the experimental
oil well IL miles east of Roswell. This
stone can be traced in the bottom of
the dry canyon for distance of
about half mile. MIR Nilsson is con-
f1dent that fine body of oil will be
found when a well has been sunk.
This property is not Far from the site
OF the copper mines. 1t is the inten-
tion of the company to develop the
oil and copper properties at the same
time. Samples of the copper and gold

Work begins on the Kuykendall Min
ing and Milling Company's property
near Carlsbad June 1st This property
is located in the foothills of the Qua
dalupe mountains 12k to IL miles
west of Carlsbad. 1t is claimed by ex-
pert mining men who have examined
this property that with comparatively
a small amount of development a rich
copper mine will be opened. A shaft
about 80 feet deep has already been
sunk upon one of the claims and sew
eral tons of copper ore removed This
ore has been assayed and ranges in
value from $40 to $4,000 per ton
in copper. The ore also carries gold
value as a composite. The assay was
made by the Colorado Assaying and
Refining Co. of Denver. and shows
$1440 per ton in gold. One can read

dent of success. as they will only
have to haul the ore about 121s miles
TO the railroad for shipping to the
smelter at Ell Paso. This haul is all
down hill over a good road. However,
should the mine prove as rich as it
is reasonably expected to, the COM
pany will erect its own plant, and
save freight rates, hauling, etc.
The company is now preparing to
send a representative east to inter
est capital sufficient to thoroughly de-
velop the mine. They are doing this
simply because they have seen so ma

In the regular course of such mat

to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion the recent findings and recon-
mendation of the Federal grand jury
of this district in regard to alleged
Determinations in rates by the Pecos

Roswell. New Mexico.
SIR Absence from Washington
has prevented earlier acknowledg-
ment of yours of the 14th instant en-
closing copy of the Report of the
Grand Jury to your Court.
The first part of this report is un-
derstood TO allege discrimination in
freight rates on certain commodities
shipped to Roswell New Mexico. as
compared with the rates charged on
the same commodities shipped to
neighboring towns. No commodities
are named or indicated, nor are the
localities mentioned which are al
legged to enjoy more favorable rates.
Upon such a general indefinite state
ment the Commission can take no
action which would be likely to prove
beneficial The Commission can make
no ruling in respect to rates except
after investigating complaint which
heard upon due notice. 1t is true the
Commission can institute an inquiry
of its own motion, but in such case
il can make no order as result OF
the proceeding except definite charges
are made against carriers named OF
which they have been notified and
which they have had opportunity to
justify.
If it is. expected or desired that the
Commission shall take some action
in reference TO the rates in question
it would seem that at least an infor
| NAL complaint should be made bl
some interested party, or by an org

President Discusses Condition of Chi
cago Packing Houses.
Washington, May 25.-Tne condi-
| ton of some of the packing houses
at Chicago were severely criticised
by the President yesterday during
| an interview he had with VIM E.
Skinner and w. l.. Carlisle. repre-
senting the live stock interests of
the country, and Representatives Mad
den of Chicago, Cox of New York
and Brooks of Colorado. The Presi-
dent announced that he proposed to
the conditions of which complaints
were made changed as promptly as
possible; that the buildings should
be re-modeled in order to obtain bet
ter ventilation and more light: that
ample facilities should be provided
the employees far from the rooms in
which meat is prepared for food to
prevent contamination.
Speaking ter the live stock inter
ssts and the packers. Mr. Skinner
assured the President that the pack
ers mad authorized him to state that
if the President woIild appoint a COM
mission of high grade scientific sani-
tation experts, including one practi-
cal man versed in inspection and ami
NAL husbandry, ithey would be glad
to adopt any suggestions the com
mittee might make. skinner went a
step further than the packing houses
proposed. He urged the President to
appoint a national sanitary commits
sion, which should be authorized to
deal with the whole subject of food
products. He represented that it was
unfair to single out one industry.

States Will Not Send Guards.
Washington, May $50 far ten
states have declined the invitation of
Assistant Secretary Of War Oliver to
send some of the National Guard in
to camp with regular troops this sum
mer Colorado declined because the
Guard is too much scattered about
the state to admit of easy concentra-
ton. The approaching trials of labor
leaders in Idaho made it seem prud-
ent to the authorities there to retain
the entire force of militia within the
state. Pennsylvania Massachusetts
and OHIO have already planned to
have their militia go into large state
camps. Other states give various rea-
sons. Ten of the states so far asked

two have acknowledged the receipt
of invitation, but failed to indicate
whether or not they would accept
