TELEPHONE SYSTEM
is NOW COMPLETED

The Colorado Telephone com
pany this week completed the in
stalling of one Of the best and most
complete telephone systems in the
southwest, in Cimarron. This
city can now boast of having the
best telephone service of any town
its size in New Mexico, and that
is something to be proud OF.
Everything used in the work is
new and first class; the poles are
closer together than common,
the wires are extra heavy and
and strong, eliminating the icnon-
venience OF having them down in
every wind or snow storm. The
company has put in this excellent
system on the faith of the future
growth of Cimarron, which they
firmly believe will be such as TO
Justify them in investing as much
capital here as they have. Had
there been no prospects tor the
future development OF the city the
equipment would not be of the
class it is, as the business at pres
ent would not justify it.
The telephone company is fortu-
nate in securing the services of
Miss Fay Pease as exchange mama
ger for Cimarron Miss Pease is
experienced in the business, hav-
ing been in the employ of the
Southwestern Telephone Co., for
more than two years at Batesville,
Arkansas. She will have charge
of the exchange in general and all
telephone matters, when brought
to her notice will receive prompt
attention.
Miss Evie Croker will have
charge OF the exchange at night.
She was carefully instructed by
Miss Pease before the opening of
the exchange and will soon be
proficient in the work.
Owing to the TACT that the num-
ber OF phones in use in the city is
small, being barely enough at
pteseat to pay operating expenses,
it is necessary that the exchange
be operated economically and to
avoid the expense of sending col
lectors around, the subscribers are
asked to come to the telephone OF
fee the first of each month and
pay their accounts. This request
is made of each subscriber and
there should be no other request
necessary. One thing in particu-
lar should not be overlooked, all
long distance charges are made
against the telephone subscriber,
no matter who holds the conversa-
tion, and the collection made from
subscribers. Any long distance
tolls used by outsiders should be
collected from them, as the com
pany collects from the subscribers
only.

Big New Coal Mining
Camp In COEax

Ration, N. NJ, April II. The
Rocky Mountain Coal company
has force of miners at work on a
new mine entry unde the rem rock
on the west slope OF Sugarite canon
at a point half way between the
old bunk house and Lake Alice. Ii
is the expressed purpose OF the
company to open up at this point
one Of its most important coal
camps where a six-foot vein OF fine
domestic coal has been opened up
and will be tapped on an extensive
scale. Although the arrangements
have not yet been completed, it is
expected that traffic arrangement
will he made with the Santa Fe,
Ration & Eastern whereby the pro-
duct can be transported from the
mine to Ration for delivery to the
exporting lines. The new mine
opening is directly opposite the
entry made on this side Of the mesa
last tall and it is the purpose of
the company to work through the
mountain, tapping the workings on
the west side and, perhaps using
both openings, the east for export
trade and the west for opening for
local distribution. This will make
the second large new mine opened
up by TIE Rocky Mountain com
pany within radius OF few miles
of Ration within the past three
months.

SURE CURE FOR
 20 PRAIRIE DOG EVIL

Due to the alarming increase of prairie dogs in Skull valley and other farming communities and the failure of many remedies to kill these pess, L. O. Tucker has furnish ed the JournalMiner the following recipe which he believes will be of interest to dry farmers and hopes will prove successful in killing the destructive creatures. J. W. Pax man of Nepni, Utah, vouches for the efficacy of this mixture.
 Dissolve one and one-half ounces Strychnia sulphate in a quart of hot water. Add quart of syrup and a teaspOonful of anise; thoroughly heat and mix the liquid. While hot pour it over a bushel of wheat and mix completely. Then stir in one or two pounds of fine cornmeal to take up the extra moisture. There should be enough to wet over grain and no more. Let stand over night and distribute it early in the morning of bright day (after a cold period is preferable). Use a tablespoonful of mixture to each hole, putting it near the mouth of the burrow in two or three little punches. A bushel will be sufficient for 1000 to 1900 holes and will destroy an immense amount of ground dogs. 3..Ih

of the main working shaft, and Oe- curing at the greatest depth yea reached, is regarded as all the more a very important determination. The strike is oceasiOning general discus sion in that region, and practical miners state that it places the Tiger Gold interests among the most de- sirable in that district as well does it exemplify the wisdom of deep mining.
 The Gray Eagle claim is not the only one that is attracting interest On the Cleveland, at the present time about thirty per cent of the milling ores are received from that ground, and development continues satisfae- tory. With the extensive underground work now established, and at the greatest depth reached, the Tiger people are experiencing the greatest era of prosperity in the life of their interests, which are now on a divi- dend paying basis.

NEW YORK PLANS
 TO REGULATE FRATERNALS

NEW YORK, March 25.-In addi- tion to the many forms of state regulation already in force here, New York is about to follow the example of Oregon in providing for the regu- lation of fraternal insurance organi- cations. There have been several eases in which improper or ineffi- cient management of such organiza- tions has jeopardized the security of the persons insured in them. As q result Insurance Superintendent Hotchkiss introduced a bill in the State Legislature placing these fra ternal societies under the iurisdic- tion of the state department. That bill is now to be withdrawn, but only in order to give place to a simi- lar measure which was adopted by the insurance commissioners of the various states at their convention here a few months ago. It is pro posed to have this bill adopted by the legislatures of all the states so that there may be uniform legisla- ton throughout the country for the safeguarding of the $20,000, ,000, 900 of insurance carried by these organi- cations. As soon as the bill can be redrafted in accordance with the agreement arrived at it will be re- ported by the committees of the leg islature that now have it in charge with a recommendation for favorable action. It, undoubtedly will be pass ed making New York one of the first states to adopt this legislation which is expected to become the uniform law of all the states on this sub feet

TIGER GOLD OPENS
 IMMENSE ORE BODY
Greatest Shoot Ever Uncovered in The Bradshaw Mountains is Exposed
 In Five Hundred Foot Level
(From Sundays Dally.)

Conservative mining men of this section are expressing themselves freely over the great gold strike made recently in the Gray Eagle mine of the Tiger Gold Company, and unhesitatingly state that it IS without question one of the most i'm portant that has ever been made in the county, and ranks as the banner one of the Bradshaw range. This belief is supported from what was established in a zone that experienced a eave-in some time ago, and what has been proven since the drift has been cleaned out. At the time of the accident, which occurred on the 800 foot level. an ore body 145 feet in length, with an average width Of 10 feet, was exposed. Assays gave $50 a ton in gold for two fee,, while the remainder of the vein ran $20 in gold, both grades of milling character The zone where this re- markable discovery was made is north

WOOL SHIPMENTS
 LARGER THAN LAST YEAR
From suaday's Daily)

Interesting information was given yesterday at the s. F., P. & P. railroad freight offices in this city, of the resources of this county in the annual wool clip that has been finished at Beardsley and Hot Springs Junction, through the eOur- tesv of H. w. MeKean, in charge of the shipping. The total number Of ears sent over the line from the two above named points for the eastern markets, reaches up-tO-date, over 100. With those to come from Mayer, and others from the south in the next few days, a total of over 120 cars will be snOwn. Each ear carries an average of 25,O00 pounds or wool. which in the aggregate makes a total of 2,OOO,0OO pounds sheared and transported for the season. This exceeds last year by several hundred thousand pounds, and is due to one of the most favorable years that has ever been known in the history of the industry. In connection with this heavy clip the arrival in Prescott yesterday of Charles E. Larson, who has the most extensive shearing plant Tn the southwest, IS an interesting event. He says that he has had in operation at Beardsley this winter thirty steam machines, and over 165, GOO head of sheep nave been sheared. The number of men necessary to handle this large number run to over 70, all skilled in the pursuit. Nearly the same number of machines have been used at Hot Springs Junction while at other points, other shearers have been employed. The introdue- tion of machinery is now demanded, otherwise the hand work would ser iously interfere with the business. He will leave today for Williams. talk ing along his entire crew and ma chimes, and has several thousand head more to shear. MT. Larson states that the past winter was one of the most favorable he has even passed through since entering the business, and the many owners experienced the most prosperous era since becoming identified with the industry.

REGULATIONS REVISED
 BY SECRETARY WILSON
New Forest Grazing Rules Provide For Advisory Board Representing
 Cattle and Sheep Interests

WASHINGTON, March 25.- The Secretary of Agriculture has approv- ed a revised form of the grazing regulations which govern use of tine National Forest ranges. In the opinion of the department officers, the most important, departures from the old regulations are found, first, in the fact that provision is made for recognition of a permanent Ma tional advisory board representing the sheep and cattle interests, which will confer annually with the Sec retary of Agriculture concerning grazing matters; and secondly, in the laying down of a rule that on Forests where the quality of range and advantages for raising cattle and sheep are equal, the yearlong rate for sheep after the season of 1911 will be thirty per cent of the year long rate for cattle.
 The new regulations have been made the subject of extended and most careful consideration and are promulgated at the present time as the result of a general revision made of all the regulations governing the use of the National Forests. Before deciding on the grazing regulations, Secretary Wilson invited representa- tives of the two great National or ganizations of stockmen, the National Wool Growers Association and the American National Live Stock Asso- eiation, to present their views to him on grazing matters, and to make any suggestions which they might wish to offer concerning the proposed regulations.
 The proposed regulations. as they had been drafted by the Forest Ser vice, were submitted to delegates of the two associations who' came to Washington in response to Secretary Wilson's invitation. This action on the part of Secretary Wilson is de- elaFed to be in accordance with the established policy of the Forest Ser vice in seeking cooperation with or ganized bodies of stockmen who make use of the National Forest range Secretary Wilson recognizes that the one and one-half million cattle. and seven and one-half million sheep which are annually grazed on the Forests bear an important relation to the price of beef and mutton in this country, and that the publle

South Prescott is experiencing a nuisance, according to health circles What to do to relieve the situation that threatens to eontaminate the community is an enigma, from a sanitary or legal standpoint The bane of the trouble is the remains days ago. County Superintendent of Health, Dr. J. W. Finn, looked over the land, and as near as could be outlined, placed the responsibility on Eugene Neuman. On the other hand, MT. Neuman is supposed to be con versant with the topography of his interests and resisted the notice to remove the animal. which he states is not occupying his premises. Three troublesome questions have arisen in consequence. The county road passes close to the point where the eaFCass lies, while the northeast corner of Neuman's s land is in the same To- cality, and to make the scene one of triumvirate complications, the cor porate lines of the city are supposed to run somewhere. near. A board of arbitration has been suggested to settle the exact responsibility and to relieve the people of that section of any anxiety over their physical wei fare. The county will order a sur vey to be made, and resident of that section stated yesterday it will then be an evident fact that the horns of the animal will be proven to be lying on the land of MT.

need of increased food supplies no less than the best interests of the stock industry call for careful meth ods of regulation to promote the full use of the grazing resource. In his view, cooperation with the advisory boards of local livestock associations has contributed materially to the ad- justment of range problems in a way satisfactory both to the livestock men and to his department.
 Regulated grazing on the National Forests seeks not only to make avail able. to the fullest degree consistent with proper protection of the range Itself and of forest growth and stream flow conditions. the annual forage crop. but also to allot the grazing privilege equitably. By giving the stockmen themselves a chance to be heard with regard to the rules es- tablished. and by securing their help in the adjustment of disputes be- tween claimants for use of the range, the department officials consider that the task of administering the range satisfactorily mas been made much easier.
 While no radical changes in the regulations have been made, Secre- tary Wilson has carefully considered all notifications proposed with a view to improving the system of grazing administration. As a result of his conferences with the representatives of the stoekmen's associations, a number of changes were made in the details concerning the conditions un- der which owners may surrender, transfer, or renew application for grazing privileges. Both the depart ment and the. stoekmen are anxious to prevent speculation in grazing privileges, and suggestions for minor notifications of the rules, offered by the stockmen to this end, were read fly accepted.
 It is the expressed belief of Sec retary Wilson that the new regula- tions mark a Step forward in the administration of the National For ests by the Government. with the hearty cooperation of the stOckmen, under effective methods which have in view both the largest possible measure of service to the public from the Forests and the fullest promo tion of the welfare of the stock in dustry itself, consistent with this service.

TUNGSTEN LAMPS
 REDUCE LIGHT EXPENSE


 CHICAGO, H., March 25.-Millions of dollars a year will be Topped off the bills for electric lights in Chi eago and other cities of it's size by an improvement made by an ob- seure inventor in the lamps or bulbs which are used. Durability has been combined with the production of high candle power light and with a small consumption of current. The fragile tungsten lamps which were hailed as a great improvement but which proved impractical because of the short life and high cost of the fila ment produced more light with the same amount of current or the same light with less current. What the effect of the durable lamp will be upon the revenues of lighting com panies cannot now be foretold. but the increased number of users of elee- tricity heretofore have made up for
 
 greatest shrinkage therefore may be felt by the gas companies and a new level of gas prices may be the re suit The rapid adoption of -elee- trieity for the lighting. of farm homes makes this invention important in rural disticts because the voltage of the home made current is usually low and especially adapted to the new lamp. The flament used in the new bulbs is made from wire and has been found to stand as much rougn usage without injury as the carbon flaments which for ten years has been in such universal use. The method used on the farm is that of attaching the generator to the gas. oline engine which nowadays does many odd jobs which men, women wind or horses did before. With a storage battery attached to the gen orator the current is stored away for use when needed, like a car load of potatoes. In this way the lights are available, whether the generator is running or not. The voltage, how ever, necessarily was low and when the tungsten lamp failed to fill the bill there was no way to avoid din light. The cost of the new lamps when they are put on the market will be higher than ordinary ones but are said to pay their way ever, month in the money they save.

STRIKE IN LINCOLN MINE
 REPORTED
(From Sundays Daily.)

Telephone adviees received yester- day from Crown King give meager details of a new and big ore body being encountered in virgin ground in the Lincoln mine, which is being operated by the Knickerboeker Min ing Company. The grade is said to be a milling one, and was discovered in a crosscut from an old level about 100 feet below the main tunnel. No values were aseertained, but W. V. Miller, general manager, is said to be elated at the new find and will push development at that point to ascertain its extent.
 The mill was closed down a few days ago, after a very successful test run. The returns gave better values than anticipated, and a pleas ing condition of the method of treat ing the large tonnage was shown in the tailings carrying very low values. In view of this important fact, the intention is to resume treatment early during the coming month, with enough ore in sight for an indefin- ite period. In the test run the mid dle grade of ores only were milled, which assures the success of the prop osition. Under former management the recovery values from this plant were such as to preclude the suU. eessful operation of the property, but since the old plant has been remodel ed and improvements added by the Kniekerboeker management, the solv- ing of an important matter has been effected.
