the decision affirming the
decision of the territorial SUI

The United States supreme
court Yesterday rendered a de-

New Mexico supreme court in fa-
vor of the plaintiffs in the case
of Dye and Childers versus Crary

sale of the valuable Compromise
mining property in the White
Oaks district of Lincoln county,
that has been in the
courts for a long time. w. b.
Childers was attorney for the

ASSOCIATION MEETING
All StoCkmen Are Cordially Invited
to Meet Together on "Asso-
citation, Day."
IN MAGDALENA ON MARCH rs
Both Buyers and Sellers Will Be
There and Arrange Schedule of
Prices.

Notice is hereby given. and
the attention of every stock
owner in New Mexico respectful
ly called to the fact, that the
seventh regular annual conveu-
ton OF the Cattle and Horse Pro-
tective Association of Central
New Mexico will be held at Mag
dalena, New Mexico. on Wednes-
day, March IS, 1908.
All stockmen are cordially in.
vited to meet with us on the
date, which will be known as
Association Day." and exchange
greetings and IDEAS for the sea-
son.
1t is intended to- have all pros
pectIve cattle and horse buyers
present, to give both parties the
rare opportunity of buying or
selling where one can meet the
best possible advantage. Cattle
men, at present, are undecided as
to the prices steers will command
this season; this is one of the
reasons which make this the
most important meeting of the
year, and every wideawake
stockman should take advantage
of this opportunity, which comes
only once year, to help his fell
low stockmen in determining
upon prices that will be right,
both to purchaser and vender.
Ii is safe to say that all the
representative cattle and horse
men in the southwest, and many
from Kansas and Colorado and
other sections, will be in attend
ance. With the certainty of a
record breaking season establish
ed, it only looks reasonable that
we, who are most benefited,
should have kind of jollifica-
tion meeting and figure what our
profits will be. Beyond question
we can all stand the nominal eX-
penSe attached to the trip, for
one day, if for no other Eeason
than helping establish set prices
for the season, as it is safe to
say that the ASSOCIATE IN stuff will
be among the very first to sell,
and others will not be likely to
ask either more or less than we
get. Should you remain away,
and miss the opportunity of do
ing a good stroke of business ol
some kind you will kick your
self" for the rest of the year.
The citizens of Magdalena
have promised to take the best
care of their guests, and we are
certain that they will make this
promise good.
We hope to meet you, one ant
all, on Association Day" auC
guarantee to extend the hand oI
good fellowship to all alike.
Yours for success,

GERMANY MINING COMPANY
Distri button Sheets Show That
Operations at the Mine Are
Well Managed.

The Germany Mining Compa-
ny, for which c. T. Brown is
general manager, is crowding de-
velopment in the Germany and
Alhambra tunnels on its proper
ty in the Magdalena district in
accordance with plans for the
development of the property
adopted about a year ago.
The company has done 847
feet of work in the two tunnels
during the months of October,
November, December, and Janu-
airy. The average cost per foot,
including rock-breaking, muck
ing, explosives, blacksmithing,
superintendence, and general ex-
pense; and rail and steel for Oc-
tober Grail and steel for the oast
three months being charged to
equipment) being $6.0l per foot.
The Germany tunnel was driv-
en- III feet in the month of jan
uary by two shifts, which is
probably the greatest number OF
feet ever driven bv two shifts in
one month in the Magdalena dis
trict.
The distribution sheets of the
company show the cost of each
item of expense connected with
the work, distributed as follows
Rock-breaking, mucking, explos'
ives and candles (including pow
der, fuse and caps) blacksmith
ing and coal, superintendent
and general expense. The low
average cost per foot for the pas
four months shows that the oper
ations at the mine are we'll man
aged.

The mayor informed the coun-
q, tnat nonresident parties now
iu the city wished to obtain an
option for limited time on some
land in the southern part of the
city for the purpose OF drilling
for artesian water and that he
had told the parties that he
thought the council would be
willing to grant such an option
at the rate of IS an acre, provid-
ed the parties would show their
good faith by bringing their
machinery to the ground. The
council concurred and authorized
the mayor to conduct such negO-

ADDRESS TO STUDENTS
And Faculty Of the New Mexico
School Of Mines on Wednes-
day Evenining.
BY Mr.. MARTIN B. zERENER
OF South African Fame Was q Treat
Such As IL Seldom
Enjoyed

The faculty and students of the
New Mexico School of Mines
were favored Wednesday evening
with a rare treat in an informal
lecture by Martin b. Zerener, one
of the foremost mining engineers
of the day. The lecture was
given on the invitation of c. 7.
Brown in his Office.
The fact that Mr.. Zerener is
one of the worlds foremost min
ing engineers would imply that
he has had a very wide ex-
perieuce in the line of his pro-
lesSion. One of the most notable
of all his experiences was in the
Johannesburg gold district of
South Africa during the Boer
war. Here Mr.. Zerener was con-
fiscated by the Beers and set to
work to restore several large
stamp mills that the English had
partially wrecked. He was so
successful in the undertaking
that a half dozen of the mills
were put into operation and their
output of gold had the effect of
making it possible for the Beers
to prolong the war several
months. Mr.. Zerener has re-
Gently made several mining ex-
cursions into Mexico, he and Mr..
Brown being associates on some
of these excursions. He came to
Socorro to go with Mr.. Brown to
visit and examine the Magdalena
district. From here he went to
the copper camps OF Arizona and
from there will continue his tour
of inspection of all the great
mining camps of the United
States.
In his lecture to the faculty
and students of the School of
Mines, Mr.. Zerener spoke of gold
mining in the Johannesburg dis
trict. He took up the events
connected with the discovery of
gold in that now famous region
in 1886, then gave a remarkably
clear description of the geology
of the region, and then passed to
the subject of ore occurrence. OF
the three theories advanced in
regard to the method of the dep
osition of gold ore in this dis
trict, the speaker advocated that
advanced by the eminent engi-
neer, John HAYS Hammond. The
mining of the ore was the next
topic taken up and presented in a
most interesting and Instructive
manner. The milling of the ore
was described as presenting even
more difficulties than its mining.
and Mr.. Zerener's description of
the means employed to reduce
the loss of gold to the smallest
possible per cent was intensely
interesting and must have been
an inspiration to the young men
present who were looking for
ward to like experiences. The
lecture closed with a few general
remarks on the subject OF mining
These, like the rest of the lee
ture, commanded close attention,
and Mr.. Zerener was given evi'
dence of the appreciation In
which his lecture was held by q
generous round of applause.

PERVERTED REASONING.

Seeking to use the decline in cotton
for conviction of the anti-option laws
as its cause, the New Orleans Picay-
une says:
In other days prior to the agitation
against speculation the spinners would
not have had it in their power to com
pei southern farmers to bear the bur-
den of financing the remaining stocks
of cotton, nor would they have had
any reasonable assurance of lower
prices later on, even with a large
crop in prospect, as the speculator
would have promptly entered the mar
ket in competition with the spinner.
compelling him to buy in self-protec-
ton, as he has always done in the
past Under the operation of the anti
option laws, now in force in most
states of the south, the spectators
are not permitted to enter the mar
ket in competition with the spinner
for the control fthe balance of the
small crop.
But what about the like, and even
worse, declines of cotton 'in those
other days" when speculation was un-
fettered? It is true that "the specu-
lator cannot enter the market in COM
petition with the spinner" But as he
can neither compete with the grower
or the seller, is not the one effect a
counterbalance of the other?
Obviously, yes. This reasoning, a
now daily feature of the New Or
leans press. is so shallow and short
sighted, that it raises the suspicion Of
an ulterior motive an unavowed pur-
pose. 1t seems designed to serve the
New Orleans bucket shops, the cot
ton gamblers, rather than the cotton
growers. Unless we are greatly mis-
taken it is prompted to scare crow
the Louisiana Legislature from adopt
ion of an anti-option law Vicksburg
