CHEAP COAL IN AUSTRALIA

Fifty cents a ton is the price they

are enormous deposits Of iron ore OF
richness varying from 60 to 80 per

The chemical composition has been

Europe, and these deposits usually arc
alongside deep water, thus facilitating
transport. At Burnie. in Tasmania.

A Big Scandal Developing in Connec-

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE
Chronicle says today: New evidence
is in course of development in the
local scandal 1t now appears that
sums of money, large and small, that
were sent from different states to
San Francisco for the relief of suf-
ferers never reached the relief COM
mittee. Some of these amounts, which
were large, were mailed in care of
Mayor Schmitz.
Detective Burns and about 100 gov
ernment agents have been making an
investigation. President Roosevelt is
the moving spirit behind the inquiry,
and he declares that no man guilty
of diverting relief funds shall escape
justice. The cases come within the
jurisdiction of the Federal govern
ment, because it is alleged that the
mails were tampered with. Consider
able sums also were sent through the
Wells-Fargo and other express COM
panies. and theses companies are in
vestigating. It is reported that in the
aggregate the stealings viii amount
to million dollars.

Governor Hagerman issued an order
instructing the district attorneys in
the Territory thus: at is the duty OF
all county and Territorial officers to
see that these laws are strictly enforc
ed, and | desire that you in your Off
ciai capacity as district attorney, use
the utmost vigilance to prevent their
infringement in any of the precincts
comprised within the district of
which you have charge. In the per-
formance of this official duty you
will have my hearty cooperation"
Frauds of the grossest and most
daring character were committed in
most of the coal camps in Colfax
county on election day. Citizens of
the county who went to these pre-
cincts as watchers, were thrown out
and driven out, the managements did
not want them there to challenge any
one of the hundreds of foreign citi-
zens and non-residents which they
proposed to vote. The rights of an
American citizen were denied each
of them, and they were driven away
like so many hawks-treated like
dogs.
Now, will the Governor make good
his order?
Will District Attorney Leany dc
his duty?

pect and confidence of the people in
this county and Territory. When

the prospect well of the Roswell Oil
Company, east of Roswell, at ten
O'Clock Tuesday morning. The hole
was down 1851 feet, when the drill
ers lost the auger-stem and bit. Taat
was seven days ago. The proper tools
to recover the lost bit and stem had
to come from Florence, Colo, and
this caused the delay. When the lost
tools had been recovered Tuesday
morning, the drillers decided to see
what had collected in the nole and
began to bail out The first bailful
gave a fine showing of Oil that
brought every man in the camp to
the hole, and when the second bailful
came to the surface, was poured out
and mad fine covering of oil, a rous-
ing cheer went up from the drillers
and promoters. Although it was but a
showing, it was the best of evidence
to the men who know that a good
flow lies beneath. Eight times the
bai1er went down, and every time it
brought up a good showing of oil.
The bit was lowered and pounded
away for two hours, after which the
well was again bailed out, the hole
having been sunk foot lower. Again
the water was covered with oil.
The first flow of oil was found at
924 feet; the second at 1,12S feet.
This third flow, at 1851, is greater
than either of the others and is of
an entirely different nature. The first
two were of thick, black oil. This is
of thin, green oil that looks like ker-
osene. Isaac Garfield, who is in
charge of the work, puts much i'm
portance in this difference. He says
that the green oil is like that of the
large and lasting fields of the East.
Beaumont's field produces only the
thick, black oil. which is not as val
liable as the green product.
For $50 feet the Roswell Oil Com
pany's well has been in Trenton
limestone, and the drill is still work
ing in this formation. 1t is in strata
of this rock that the last two flows
of oil have been encountered. Mr.. Can
field says that some of the best flows
of oil in the United States are in this
formation 1t is not necessary to find
the oil in sand.
The men in charge of the project
are enthusiastic over this third find.
They expect a good, paying flow at
any time Mr. Canfie1d says he ex-
poets to find a good flow this week.
The managers of the Roswell compa-
ny, who are in the best position to
know, advise everyone having claims
work necessary to hold their titles
to them.
The drilling will be continued with
out interruption, barring accidents,
until something good is struck, or
the field is found to be barren of oil.

Yesterday afternoon a telegram was
received from Washington, stating
that a petition mad been filed before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
requesting that the freight rates into
the Pecos Valley over the Santa Fe
railroad be adjusted more equitably.
This telegram was signed by S. H.
Cowan.
About two months ago it was deter
mined by many of the business men
of the Valley that some effort should
be made to secure better freight rates
With this idea in view, correspon-
dence was had between Roswell and
Carlsbad, Artesia and Hagerman, and
an ample fund raised to put the mat
ter through. After investigation, Mr..
S. H. Cowan, of FIT. Worth, Texas
was employed to nave charge of the
matter. Mr.. Cowan, is the legal repre-
sentative of the Texas Cattlemen's
Association, and has also been employ
ed by the State of Texas to secure re
duced freight rates in that State and
has been most successful in all his
efforts along this line.
After investigating the rates to
exhaustive comparison of these rates
with other localities similarly situat
ed, it was found that a great dispari-
ty existed and that the rates here
were immensely higher than they
should be. Mr.. Cowan said there was
no question but that if properly plac-
ed before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, that the rates would be
adjusted
His telegram of yesterday was the
result of the action taken by him. 1t
ested to make a special effort to have
the rates affecting commodities raised
mere and the common necessities of
life which are shipped in, adjusted.
In many cases the rates charged by
the Santa Fe from Roswell to ANA
rillo are from two to three times the
rates charged ON the other side of
Amarillo, figured on the rate per mile
The hearing in this case will prob
ably be held within the next three
months, and there is possibility that
it will be neld in Roswell.
The business men who have engin-
eered this movement believe that the
results will be beneficial both to the
people and the Santa Fe itself With
more equitable freights, various indus
tries would be stimulated, and the
Valley settled in a much shorter length
of time than would otherwise be the
case. The railroad would reap the
benefit of this in greatly increased bu-
siness. The result of this move will
be watched with great interest by the
people of the Valley and of the Ter
ritory at large.

THE GURLER MILK PAIL.

by the well known dairyman of that
name in Illinois. The writer has said
that the pail was devised that milk
might be obtained as exempt from dirt
as possible. No one, to his knowledge,
was manufacturing the pail and it was
not patented. a good local tinsmith
should be able to make 1t for any
dairyman wanting it, and its cost even
then would not be more than 50 or
$3.50.
AS represented in the picture, the
cover is closely fitting, and into it is
fastened n layer of absorbent cotton,
through which all the milk passes be-
fore entering the pail. AS the milk is
poured out through the covered spout
the strainer is not removed from the
pail until the milking is through. 1t is
then destroyed and new one prepared
to take its place for the next milking.
The expense of the cotton is slight, and
along with equal cleanliness in all
other directions the pail has never yet
failed to give complete satisfaction.
