A. E. Ernst Sells Interests and Will
 Uniontown. Jan. 27.-(Special.) IA. E. Ernst has sold his mercantile business to F. Meyer and his home to the Baptist church. to be used as a parsonage.
 MT. Ernst will move to New York at an early date. The change Is oc- casioned by the low state of his health.
 He has been a highly respected cit izen of Uniontown for many years. and his departure is a source of regret to the community. His brothers. N. L.. bankers at this place, moved to New York twenty years ago. and have there built up large fortunes.
 On account of the exceptionally fine weather tor this time of year, the farmers report unusual progress in the preparation of their land for planting. The fields are bedded and ready for the seed. It Is the inten- tion of the farmers of this section to plant more corn and other grains than heretofore.
 A banker here says that last year at least $150Oo0 was sent West from this place for the purchase of grain. The time has been when this country was second to no other in the produc- tion of corn, but the negro tenant sys- tenn has made a great change for the worse.
 It is reported that there are at this time about 1000 bales of cotton in the warehouses here. Buyers have offered nine and a half cents for several lots chasing middling and above.
 Most of the cotton is in strong hands and is being held for ten cents

AFTER RTHELYNCHERS
LAW AND ORDER LEkGGEs4s HELP
 ING.
Police COmmiasiOn ia Also Investigat- ing it--DOctOF's Controversy With
 Revenue Board Now in

the Courts.
 Mobile, Jan. 27.-(SpeciaL.) )-Joining the other organizations which have passed resolutions condemning the lynching of the negro. Roberson, who shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Philip Patch. the Law and Order League of Mobile County has also met on the matter.
 The resolutions are to the effect that the League joins with other bodies in expressing their abhorrence of the dastardly crime of the cowardly mob recently perpetrated. The League also urges upon the Governor the necessity of Investigating Into the lynching and also into whether or not the Sheriff and his forces performed their duty and to this end the League offers their support.
 Demurreru Filed.
 Answering the mandamus filed in the Circuit Court against the Board of Revenue by the health board seeking reasonable salary for Dr. D. G. Campbell. who was elected by the health board, demurrers were filed to the mandamus today in the Circuit Court.
 The Board of Revenue in their de- murrers first assert that they have no legal authority to elect relator as phy- 
 poor house and jail and second that the Board of Revenue Is the only body legally authorized to elect a physician for this work. which they did in se- lectlng Dr. w. c. Ward.
 The two bodies are in a dispute over who has control of the election of county physician and after the revenue board failed to fix a salary for pr. Campbell. the health board man, they sued for a mandamus writ and now comes the answer from the revenue board. Much interest attaches to the outcome of the case.
 Commission Investigating.
 The Mobile Police Commission met tonight at 8 o'clock in the office of Mayor Pat J. Lyons and after dis pensing of routine business entered into an investigation of the reported inactivity of the police department on the morning the negro Roberson was lynched. All the superior officers were before the Police Commission and giv- en a full hearing.

E. P.@S.W. to Build from DemingI

Judge Norman W. Haire, of
Houghton, Mich, and j. e.
Saint, of Albuquerque. who re-
turned to Albuquerque yester-
day morning from Silver City,
having completed the incorpora-
ton Of the big Mangus Copper
.c,mpany, brought with them the
news of the biggest mining deal
In the history of New Mexico,
closed Friday.
BY this transaction Phelps,
Dodge & Company,of New York,
owners of the greatest copper
producing mines in Southern
Arizona and owners of the FL
Paso & Southwestern railroad,
b come the owners Of the Burro
Mountain Mining company's
properties in the Burro Noun
tains. twelve miles southwest of
Silver City. the largest copper
property in New Mexico, and
d .stined, mining experts say, to
b. one Of the worlds great pro-
dlcers.
Phelps. Dodge & Company
have held a minority interest in
the Burro Mountain company
for some time, the property
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1909-10-15

having been held as a close cor
poration in which Alfred and
Nathan Leopold. Of Chicago,
held the contro,. or about 85 per
cent. The Leopolds have sold
their entire interest in the mine,
together with their stock. to the
Phelps, Dodge company. Messrs.
Haire and Saint were not in a
position to say what price was
paid for the stock, but advices
received by the Morning Journal
last night from Silver City and
from the east indicate that up
on the basis at which this G5
per cent of the stock was pur-
chased. the mine is worth
SO. $40, 600.
The Burro Mountain property
has for a long time been rec
ognized as one of the great cop
per properties of the country
and the price for which Phelps,
Dodge & Company secure con-
troll of the property is the larg-
est price ever paid for mining
property in the territory. The
size of the price, however. is not
the most important feature Of
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1909-10-15

this deal, as It relates TO the
mining industry of New Moxi-
co.
While no statement has been
given out to indicate that the
action is contemplated, It is gen.
orally believed in Silver City
that Phelps, Dodge & Company
will soon build an entension Of
the FL Paso & Southwestern rail-
road into the Burro Mountain
mining district. The South
western already has a branch
line reaching to Deming. The
extension would not be o very
large one and it Is confidently
expected that it will be made.
This will result not only in
greatly Fastening the develop
ment of the Burro mountain
company'S property, but Of the
Chemung, another great prop
erty adjoining it, and Of the re-
Gently Incorporated Magnus prop
erty, which lies right in the
heart of the district, adjoining
both the Burro Mountain and the
Chemung holdings. Albuquer-
