THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

A communication printed elsewhere
In this issue OF the Morning Journal.
from a correspondent at Clovis, makes
an earnest argument IN favor OF the
Australian ballot. and makes Il pretty
clear TO members of the legislature
that by providing for such an up-to-
date change In our a%ntiquated election
laws they would be putting forward
the very strongest argument la favor
of statehood for New Mexico that II
would be possible for us 60 use, II IL
well known TO every one who has
ever worked FOR the cause of state
hood for New Mexico. that the staple
argument among congressman. and
people Of the states generally, In OPP
position 90 u admission, is hat such
a large proportion OF our people are
miterate. but the passage Of an Aus
tralian ballot law, VA connection With
our present excellent public school
system. would constitute an all-suff-
cirnt answer to that objection.

HANDS AND FEET

Suffered Terribly from Eczema which Made Hands and Feet Swell, Peel and Get Raw Arms Affected, Too Gave Up Hope of Cure.
USED CUT!CURA AND
 WAS QUICKLY CURED

"I suffered from eczema on my hands, arms and feet for about twelve years, my hands and feet would swell, sweat and itch, then would become callous and get very dry, then peel of and get raw. 1 tried most every kind of salye and ointment without success. only got temporary relief. As soon as would leave off using them l would be as bad as ever. 1 tried several doctors, took arsenic for two years and at last gave up thinking there was a cure for eczema. A friend of mine insisted on my trying the Cuticura Remedies but. supposing they were the same as other cures had tried, did not give them a trial until I got so bad that had to do something. ] secured a cake of Gu ticura Soap, a box of CuticCra Oint- ment and a bottle. of Cuticura Resolvent and by the time they were used I could see vast improvement and my hands and feet were healed up in no time. I rsed several bottles of CUticura Re- solvent. This was over year ago and have had no trouble since. l think l am entirely cured. Charles T. Bauer, RED. 65, Voiant, Pa., Mar. II, 190S."

 The Conundrum claim bears the marks of a winner, and in less than three hundred feet of sinking, the same ore body will be encountered as on the Catherine. It is perhaps six hundred feet wide.
 On the eve of my departure from this camp, the following day, my hospitable and most entertaining host, Superin- tendent Finnegan, was summoned to look at some ore being hoisted from what the last shift of the night before had broke down. Of course, went, too It certainly looked good to me. They are on the eve of a rich ruby silver and gold strike that will make my old friend, Tonopah. look and feel mighty small. The Calcite group will be a world beater.
 In coming back to SaIome, visited the Bee Line group, about three miles northwesterly from Salome.
 There is a great, wide trachite dike traversing these claims, and on the Bee Line claim I noticed a blanket vein which seemed to dip toward the dike. In all probability, there has been some parallel Assuring done along this dike, and. becoming the zone of least resistance permitted the ascending and descending waters to percolate their values into the Assure. Sinking about twenty-five feet from the dike. and cross cutting toward it at water level, should show the main ledge, with good values, and in place. The blanket is pretty close to being a shipping ore. chalcopyrites predominating- good showing for a leaser. This property is owned by two well known ladies of Salome. and who have the best wishes of every digger in the surrounding hills. and every man in. Salome, they are Mrs. F. s. Jones, wife of the well known and popular manager of the Brayton Commercial company, and a Mrs. Bissell, formerly of this town, but now a resident of Los Angeles.
