John Heidel, former manager of the
Heidel hotel, A. T., will lead q party
Of Tucson people to the Swastika mine,
81 miles southwest of Tucson, to inves-
tigate a strike of copper in the Swas-
tika mine. Mr.. Heidel and a number
of other Tucsonans are interested in
the Swastika property and expect 1t
soon to become a producer. The dis
covery is reported to be very good
one.
A fabulously rich strike of gold
quartz is reported in the Columbia
district, rs miles south of Tucson.
A bar of gold bullion valued at St700

MINES AT NACOZARI ARE
SHIPPING GOOD GRADE OF ORB

|, Within the past few days at Naco-
zari, Sonora, new mines have been max
ing shipments. One of the most prom
Using properties is the Aqua Buena, To-
Gated near NacOZari and owned by G.
B. Bell, OF Douglas, Ariz.; W. T. Smith
and A L. Warner. of Duluth. The
prospect has been known as a good one
for some time. The work on the tunnel
had not gone far, when rich streaks of
silver ore were encountered. which
soon merged into a high grade streak
81 inches wide, and assaying high. A
small carload Of the ore was shipped
to the Copper Queen smelter at Doug
las. The car netted clear of all charges
$3005. A second carload is now on the
dump awaiting shipment.
Another mine which is making a
good new record Is the Don Carlos,
which is being worked by Harry
Dewey. This mine is an antigua, and
produced heavily in silver In the days
of Spanish occupation. The Don Carlos
is a high grade silver sulphide with
much native. Mr.. Dewey has already
SHIPPED three cars.

OUTPUT OF TEXAS
COAL FIELDS LESS
Development of Petroleum
Fields Reduces Product
of Mines.

Washington, D. c., Feb. Tn 1909,
for the first time IN eight years. the
coal production Of Texas exhibited
a decrease. AS a consequence of the
notable development in petroleum re-
sulting from the bringing in OF the Ia
nous Lucas "gusher' in January. 1901,
the output OF coar in 1902 fell off 20
percent from the preceding year, but it
gradually and steadily recovered until
in 1908 the production was more than
double that Of 1902 or 1903. The relapse
in 1909 was also due to the invasion OF
petroleum, this time from the fields
outside the state. The great yield OF
oil from the Caddo and other districts
in Louisiana and from the Mid-Conti-
nent field of Kansas and Oklahoma
seriously affected the progress of coal
mining, a shown not only in the de-
creased production in 1909 but in
marked decline in values. This was
especially noticeable in the Ignite
fields. for although bituminous coal fell
off in price the output increased The
production Of Ignite decreased from
S47,970 short tons, valued at SS3S,49O, In
1908, to 1929 short tons, valued at
s6O2SS1 in 1909 The average price
declined from 90 to IS cents ton The
production of bituminous coal increased
from 1.047. 4O7 short tons in 1908 to
111222S short tons in 1909, and the
value decreased from 81, 5S0.9 20 ST.
$50 O64, the average price per ton de-
clining from $2.46 to $2.2s. The net
result was a decrease in the total pro-
duction of coal in the state from 1885,
S77 short tons valued at So, ,4S1. in
1908 to 1S24440 short TONS valued at
s3.141.945 in 1909, a loss Of 70,9S7 short
tons, or 80 percent, in quantity, and OF
s277.536, or 81 percent in value.
The completion of the Wichita Falls
& Southern railway in 1908 afforded
transportation facilities to the coal
properties of Young county. In 1903
Young county produced over 10000
tons of coal and promises to become
one of the important coal producing
counties of the state. There are is
counties in the state that produced coal
or Ignite in 1908 and 1909. The cOun-
ties producing, bituminous coal were
Erath, Maverick, Palo Pinto, Parker,
Webb, Wise and Young. The Ignite
producing counties were Bastrop, Fay
cite, Hopkins. Houston. Leon. Medina,
Milan, Robertson and Wood.
The coal mines of Texas gave en-
ployment to 1895 men in 1909, against
400 In 1908 The average production
per man increased from 431 tons in 1908
to 435 tons in 1909. S. J. Taylor. the
state mine inspector. reports that in
1909 there were four men killed and SO
injured in the coal mines OF Texas.
Only one labor disaffection was re-
ported in 1909-that at the newly open

,IOker.

Tucumcari. N NJ, Feb. 7.-Tucum-
carl felt the first taste of war when
Q. F. Elder, captain of company L. New
Mexico national guards, stationed at
this city, received the following mes
sage supposedly through the local tele-
graph office: by order Of governor
Mills muster in company L immediate
~, and hold in readiness to proceed to
southern border" Signed, "A S.
Brooks, adJutant general"
Forty five men were mustered, who,
with Capt Elder and Lieuts. B. F. Lit
Teton and F. H. Donahue stood at at
tention, awaiting orders to proceed to
the front
The farewell words were spoken, but
still no word came from those in au-
thority.
At length, firing Of the suspense.
or, perhaps, thinking some reply were
forthcoming to the generals order, the
captain betook himself TO the telegraph
office. seeking further notice, and, in
cidentally, to inquire as to transporta-
ton facilities.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that there
was no duplicate telegram at the rail-
way office Furthermore, the company
had received no notification Of pos
sible need Of transportation. So the
captain had dawpiug. The boys in
khaki were dismissed.
The messenger boy, it seems, had
received the spurious message from
someone who desired to play this little
joke on the militia, and the plan
work ed.
But two things were disclosed: First.
that the men were ready for any call;
second, that an hour and half was
plenty time to sever connections with
business, sweetheart. and perhaps life.
There is said TO be no clew to the
perpe traitors Of the deed.

The Jury Returns Unani-

Of not guilty" in the case of Knocker
ct al, VS. Coca-Cola- It viii be re-
membered that some time ago a re-
port was circulated TO the effect that
Coca-Cola contained injurious ma
terials and was, therefore. harmful in
Its effect upon the human body.
The rumor was originated by an I'M
scrupulius competitor Of Coca-Cola,
the popular temperance drink, spread
rapidly and found some credence
among those who did not know the
origin Of the report
The jury finds that not only does
Coca-Cola contain nothing harmful,
nut that II is much superior to tea and.
lcoffee in that IT Is free from tannic
iscid and therefore, promotes diges-
tion instead OF retarding it. each Of the
distinguished chemists reported that
he had made careful chemical analy-
eds Of Coca-Cola and found 1t to contain
no dope Of any kind. If you would
