Next was a pony race, and this was
especially interesting because of the
remarkable speed Of the midget win
ner, Beauty" Shetland pony. AS in
the first race. there were three en-.
tries. two ordinary ponies and one
Shetland, and the latter, belonging to
Master Clyde Bayless and ridden by

start the little pony dug dirt amazing

he passed the grand stand than he

Not the least of interest in the exer-

race, in which Clarence Mayes and
Forman Grant were the contestants.
Three horses each were used, the run
being half mile in each heat, the in
tensely interesting moment being

General Manager l.. Hoffman, of the Arizona Southwestern Copper com pany, was at the mines at Copperville this week and reports that the main shaft has reached depth of about 300 feet. Crosscutting will be done at this point and a station cut. The last fifty feet of the shaft was in very hard ground and slow headway was made Better ground has been reached and the work of finishing up the lift will be rushed through. Drifting will be done on the vein at this point and the ore body opened up.

This was the action wherein Mr. Wyman sued John Boyle, Jr., for 4O,OOOS on account of transaction growing out of the incor- poration of the Gro Plata company.

The people of southeastern Nevada are petitioning Nevada's representa- tives in congress to try to get govern ment aid in the harnessing of the Col orado river in the canyon near Eldo- rado Canyon and generate electric power for transmission to points in Nevada and Arizona. At a recent convention held at Las Vegas resolu- ton was adopted calling on congress- man and senators to use every effort to get the government to take up this proposition, representing that with power of this character water could be pumped upon thousands of acres of arid lands lying far above the river and would result in building up a great mining as well as agricultural section.
 John Singleton and W. A. McCombs, of Los Angeles, departed Wednesday last to Union Pass, in company of N. NJ. Richardson, where they will ex- anime the mines of Mir. Richardson. Mir. Singleton is one of the original owners of the Yellow Aster mine, at Randsburg, from which he emassed many millions of dollars. He is now looking after another property and it is to be hoped that he will find it in the Union Pass section. The mines of that country have immense veins and the values in any other part of the earth would be considered good.
 The big well that is being sunk near the Mcguire mine for water has reach ed the water strata, but the flow is found to be too strong to handle with buckets and the arrival of the big pump and holster is being awaited. As soon as these arrive work will be again commenced and the shaft sunk to bedrock. As soon as sufficient water is found the mill will be started up again and later another unit will be added.

George B. Ayers and Fred Brown came in from the Red Gap mines last Tuesday.

This new company owns the electric plant at Needles and con- template the transmission of power from that place to the Red Gap mines. The mines are said to have developed
 wonderfully during the short time the present operators have been working them, and that great ore bodies have been opened up in new places. The ore also shows improvement in values.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS
MEMBERSHIP QUADRUPlES.

Billings. Mont, Oct. 22.-In an ad-
dress before a mass meeting of Bill
ings business men, Secretary John T.
Burns of the Dry Farming Congress
has given some interesting data on the
work and growth of that organization
which will hold it's forth session at
Billings, Montana, October 1928. Mr..
Burns said:-
All indications point to this being
the geratest development convention
In the west. The dry farming move
ment has grown far beyond the con
ception of the most enthusiastic of
those present at the first meeting in
Denver three years e when the Con-
gress was launched. The second con-
vention at Salt Lake closed with about
900 members enrolled. Wyoming Sc
cured the third session. but even then
II was not treated seriously as a move
ment of world magnitude. Money was
needed to make q start on the work
that a been planned ut Salt Lake
and funds were raised under protest.
But the movement grew IN spite of the
neglect of the public.
Before the third Congress met an
aggressive campaign was started to
the public and a determined fight was
made against the attacks to which II
had been subjected from various quar-
ters- when h third Congress clos

GET TOGETHER AND
GET A RAILROAD.

A prominent citizen OF Roswell
asked the privilege of suggesting to
the Record an editorial along the line
of a new railroad. and we told him to
go ahead The result was brought to
use and we considered IT to be SO to
the point and SO embodying our own
deas on the subject, hat we viii re-
produce 1t as al editorial. Here 1t is:
The Record suggests that the prop
erty owners and the persons general
~ interested in the welfare of Ros-
well get together and conclude that
Roswell shall rave a railroad either
from Torrance or from TucHncari.
Let politics and personal faction.
which. no doubt, exist in all cities be
laid aside in the interest of our city.
BY getting together We mean that the
persons mentioned hold a conference
like business men who embark In
new and great enterprises do; and
we also mean that each of the per-
sons mak up his own mind that ne
will further the enterprise by invest
ing his money therein, and that we
shall have n OF the two railroads.
When the persons shall have done
this. 1t is only a matter of time when
the efforts of our own people will be
found a success.
OF wha avail is 1t to the city OF
Roswell to be situate in the wealth
lest county of the territory and to
have In its own limits the wealth OF
which we may boast, if we annot
raise at least 100000 o to be invest
ed in an enterprise that would bring
such beneficial results as would flow
from The construction and operation
OF either one of said proposed rail-
roads?
We do not say that the money
should be given as a bonus, but We
say hat 1t should be invested upon
business principles, upon \ convic-
tion that the original investment will
be returned after the construction of
a railroad without profit other han
the railroad itself, or that IL may be
returned with profit in addition to

fcient sum to complete 1t and put 1t
IN operation.
The proposed railroad TO Torrance
would be shorter and cheaper than
the one to Tucumcari, but the latter
promises better results. In addition
TO the fact that ii would give us a
shorter line to Kansas City than the
present route by Amarillo, it would
n only onnec us with the Rock
Island at Tucu-ncari. but would give

finest in the Southwest.
