ASSOCIATION MEETING
All StOokmen Are Cordially Invited
to Meet Together on ."AssO-
citation Day."
IN MAGDALENA ON MARCH rs
Both Buyers and Sellers wfll 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 conven-
tion 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 a year, to help his fell
low stockmen in determining
upon prices that will be right,
both to purchaser and vender.
1t 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, il only looks reasonable that
we, who are most benefited,
should have a 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 reason
than helping establish set prices
for the season, as it is safe to
say that the association 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 OF
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 and
all, on Association Day" and
guarantee to extend the hand OF
good fellowship to all alike.
Yours for success,

800 Reward, sloo.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages. and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case
that il fails to cure. Send for

80 BILLIONS OF TONS
That Is the Estimated Amount Of
Coal in the Gallup-Durango
Coal Field.
A PROTECTED RAILROAD TO IT
Is Now Being Surveyed and Will
Pass Through Western Part Of
Socorro County.

A recent press dispatch from
Washington speaks of the Won
ders of the Gallup Durango coal
field, toward which a railroad is
now being surveyed to pass
through western Socorro county,
as follows:
The district in New Mexico,
towards which the proposed rail-
road is heading from FL Paso, is
one that will command a great
deal of attention by reason of its
coal DEPOSITS, as soon as proper
transportation is arranged for.
The Gallup-Durango coal field
includes an area of l3, 500 square
miles, 1000 of which is in Colo
RADIO aud the remainder in New
Mexico.
a conservative estimate of the
total tonnage of coal in this area,
based on a workable thickness of
six feet of coal underlying the
field, is said to be 10000, 900, 900,
(eighty-billions) tons. 1t is
probable, however, that ten feet
would more nearly approximate
the average thickness of the
workable coal beds.
The earliest development of
the coal resources of this field,
outside of small workings to sup
ply limited domestic demand,
began with the advent of the
railroads. In the vicinity of
Gallup, where the greatest de-
velopment has taken place, min
ing began lat, in 1881 or early
in 1882, at or about the time the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad
(Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe)
ieached Gallup from the east.
The Denver & Rio Grande rail-
road reached Durango in 1881,
but it was late in the eighties be-
fore any great activity in coal
mining began in the northern
part of the field. The Rio
Grande Southern railway was
built in 1892. The production
of the field in 1906 amounted to
more than 500, 900 short tons,
valued at approximately Sl,165,-
600.
The development of this coal
field is entirely dependent upon
railway facilities. There are
good markets Tor the coal and
coke which could be economical
! ly reached from any part of the
field if railway connections were
established and freight rates
were rendered more reasonable
by competition. Railways with
light grades To which the coal
beds OF the area would be acceS-
sible, could be constructed al
most anywhere through the field
Conditions for cheap mining
are favorable, so far as topo-
graphy is concerned. In the
northern, western and southern
parts of the field. timber suita'
ble for mining purpoSeses is at
hand, but the country in the vi.
cinity of Rio Chaco is barren ol
forests. In the interior of the
field, water in quantity can un
doubtedly be obtained at moder
ate depth by boring, as has beer
proved in the Gallup district
where an ample supply of artes
ian water has been obtained at |
depth of about 1000 feet. II
the northern part of the field
the streams carry an abundan
supply of water throu ughout th'
year"

Work on the drainage ditch

Whether the work will be con-

FIFTY THOUSAND CRATES.
Shipments From Mount Olive Will
Doubtless Reach This Figure Be-
fore Close of the Season
...GOOd Prices Prevail.

Mount Ollve Tribune.
Up to Tuesday night of this week,
including shipments by refrigerator
car and express, there had been 81 1892
crates of straw berries shipped from
Mount Olive this season. Yesterday
about eight hundred crates went tor
ward making total of something over
80, 600 crates for the season to date,
Wednesday night.
From what can be learned there will
be close to fifty thousand crates from
Mount Olive this season, or at least this
is the estimate of some of our most
prominent commission men and truck
growers. Last year the shipments
from this point was about forty thou
sand crates.
The berries so far have averaged
about $500 per crate, though at times
the prices have been much higher than
So. 90. It will be seen from this that
the season has been a very profitable
one for our truckers. By the close OF
the season, week hence, the sum to-
tai paid out for the luscious fruit to the
truckers here will reach the large sum
of $140, ,0oO.

Especial to the ARGUS

La Porte, Ind, May 8.-No more
bodies were dug up today on the farm
OF Mrs. Belle Guinness, but Sheriff
Shutter, in an interview. says he has
no doubt that at least 3S persons were
killed by this woman, as he is getting
kilograms and letters from all parts of
the country asking him to look for
bodies of mon missing from home.
1t is the reiterated belief that the
woman did not perish in the flames /,
but that she put the body Of another
woman amid the farmhouse ruins and
that she herself is in hiding, waiting
for chance to sail for Norway in dis
guise.
States Attorney Smith still disa-
grees with the sheriff. He is certain
that Ray Lamphere set fire to the
house for revenge, and that Guinness
was burned up with the house.
