GOVERNOR IS DELIGHTED
WITH THE PROSPECTS
Compliments the Newspapers Of
New Mexico
THINKS THAT THEY
ARE DOING GOOD WORK

Santa Fe, y. ~, June To-
The enthusiastic response made
by the newspapers of New Mex.
leo to the proclamation of Gov
ernor William j. Mills. setting
aside June 22nd a. Post Card
Day. on which the people OF New
Mexico will make a united effort
to advertise the Territory has
both surprised and delighted the
Governor.
Il see almost every newspaper
published in New Mexico" said
the Governor today in discussing
the Post Card Day movement,
and it is source Of much graf
ification to me to notice the uni
versal commentator the procla-
nation has received from the
pens Of New Mexico's editors.
From this indication | have
no doubt but that the response
on the behalf of the people of
New Mexico will receive an i'm
mense amount of advertising in
consequence of the proclamation
issued and the publicity gwen it.
1--WE who are residents of New
Mexico realize the vast undevel-
oped resources which lie within
our borders, and we know also
that all that is needed to give
New Mexico a veritable boom is
to have these resources brought
to the attention of the outside
world.
No doubt this will be done
if the response to the call made
by our people on June 22nd, is
with the same unanimity as
manifested by the loyal news
papers of New Mexico"

SANATORlUM
SOLD TO DIR. ROUNTREE
The New Administration Will Build up Great
Institution

The sanatorium deal which
was closed last Thursday after.
noon carries extraordinary pos
sibilties for boosting, helping
and building up Alamogordo.
The transfer was made from the
Alamogordo Cooperative Sana-
torium Co., by its trustees,
Messrs. Gilbert, Carmack, and
Coe, to DIR. W. O. Rountree, pro-
prietor of the Rountree Sanitar-
ium, of Mineral Wells, Texas.
The consideration has not been
made public. The value of the
property is between forty and
fifty thousand dollars.
The new administration will
conduct the place under the
name of the Alamogordo Sani-
tarium. Paul IL. Rountree, son
of DR.. W. G. Rountree, is named
as the manager and has actively
begun the work Of thoroughly
renovating and re-arranging the
place. On the medical staff are
Drs. w. q. Rountree, +. d. Nc
Kinley and J. Il. Gilbert. The
sanitarium will be opened for
patients some time in the latter
part of this week.
An aggressive advertising cam.
paign will be commenced at once.

In addition to the large amount
of literature which will be dis
tributed, a travelling representa-
tive will be employed. The
institution now has accomoda.
tions for fifty patients, without
crowding, and it is proposed TO
keep the place filled to capacity.
The capacity will be increased
as fast as may become necessary.
DIR. Rountree has had ten years
successful experience in sanitar.
ium work. He will take up his
residence in Alamogordo within
the next sixty days and person
ally direct and supervise the
work OF this institution. Service
and treatment will be first class,
regardless of expense, and while
the rates will not be exhorbitant,
they will be commensurate with
the service and treatment. AL
amogordo's natural advantages
for the treatment of tuberculosis
are too we'll known to require
any comment. There is a big
field of usefulness here for a
magnificent institution. 1t would
seem that at last the right man
agement had been found to de-
velop and maintain such an in.
stitution.

Dancers Have Good Time at
High Rolls Hotel

The big dance at High Rolls
Hotel last Saturday night was
the real thing in the way of an
entertainment, is the verdict of
those who were fortunate enough
to attend. Although the dance
was given at High Rolls, there
were so many Alamogordo people
in attendance that it might have
been called an Alamogordo
dance.
Those who went from here
were: Misses Nell Drake, Eu-
dora Major, Pauline and Lucille

Nina Warnock; Messrs. Wallace

CAPTAIN MACEIIN WAS
WORKING FOR COLONY
Advocated Good Plan in Letter to
The Star
LETTER WRITTEN ONLY
TWO DAYS BEFORE DEATH

The letter which i published
below. written by Captain Edgar
Macklin and published in the
Kansas City Star, is typical of
the man who wrote the letter.
This letter was not received at
the Star Office unsii after the
news of his death had been re-
ceived by telegraph. He must
have realized at the time he
wrote this letter that his time
had come. but he continued his
good work for the benefit of
others. One of these days the
gallant captains ideas will be
carried cut, and will result in an
enormous saving of human life.
The letter is "a follows:
Alamogordo, n. NJ, June 5. To The
Star: In brief and as a suggestion for
serious thought. if had the Hartman
millions | would establish a model tu-
berculosis colony in Arizona or New
Mexico.
OF the thousands Of acres in these
two states it would be possible to OBJ
tain grants from the National Govern
ment, or if not the land and water rights
could be purchased within reason.
Build your model town with well laid
out streets of adobe (dobel and
not in any case for patients to exceed
three rooms, but fully supplied with
porches. Make it possible for the man
or woman patient to have his or her
wife or husband with them, as so many
are left to live and die alone in this
country feeling only those know
who have had to go through it.
This colony would need first class
hospital, wards, ETC., also good hotel,
something on the Mills type, not for
patients under any circumstances, but
for their relatives or friends.
Let it be understood that this place
is not alone for charity patients, or
those too sick to do something: ambu-
lance patients would be allowed to do
such work as they could.
Granting place of this kind, proper
ly laid out and established, would cost Is
million dollars, like sum invested in
per cent bonds would give ample for
endowment of proper sum for main
tenance. These sums are only given in
the rough. or as an estimate, but they
would necessarily be high. Railroad
transportation would have to be fur
nished in many cases.
Patients of all classes and occupa-
tons could be employed in every depart
ment, from the assistants in the execu-
tive department to the street cleaners.
This place in ten years would be a
garden spot with irrigation, and the pro-
duce from the same would help support
those who did not wish to be charity
patients.
Phthsis patients when they are sep
arated among themselves or have COM
panions in misery. are mostly a cheer
full lot and believe my investment
would in time be almost self support
ing.

FATHER Of WATERS"
WILL Be DAMNED
Largest HydrO-Eleotric Dam in
the World
SUPPLYING POWER FOR
MANY LARGE CITIES

The Father Of Waters. the
mighty Mississippi. is to be har.
messed. This mighty dam, which
is being constructed at Keokuk.
Iowa, will furnish 2Oo. 900 horse
power and when, completed will
be the largest dam for hydro
electric purposes in the world.
The dam will stretch across
the Mississippi from Keokuk.
Iowa, to Hamilton, Illinois, u
distance of almost a mile.
The effect the giant power
house will have upon the indus
trial and civic welfare of the
middle west will be great. With
In transmission distance of
practically POO miles are an un-
usually large number of flourish
ing cities and towns: St. Louis.
Bloomington, Decatur, Gales
burg, Rock Island, Springfield,
Quincy, Peoria, Joliet and Rock
ford, in Illinois. and Dubuque,
Davenport, Des Moines, Clinton,
and Cedar Rapids, in Iowa.
Then there are the large cities
of Missouri, st. Louis, Kansas
City, Hannibal, and st. Joseph.
Although the work will nct be
completed until 1913, contracts
have already been made with
the public service companies of
st. Louis for 10000 horse power
for period of 80 years.
1t has been pointed out that
while the east, as a whole, is the
great manufacturing center, yet
for many years past there has
been a pronounced tendency on
the part of manufacturers to get
as near as possible to the sources
of their raw material. or to seek
those localities where motive
power can be obtained at a min
imum of cost. Illinois and Iowa
have always been agricultural
states. The farmers of that part
of the codntry have become ex-
ceedingly prosperous and now it
looks as though there would be
a rapid industrial development
throughout that section. Hence
1t is by no means necessary to
regard the market for the power
developed on the Mississippi as
limited to industries already ex-
listing in the market territory.
Ii is safe assumption that re.
gion with this great reserve of
o-electric power will gradu-
ally evolve new industries.
1t is understood that the pow
er generated will be supplied to
existing central stations in diff
ferent towns and cities in the
territory that can be served in
much the same manner as nat
ural gas is supplied to local gas
companies in the gas belts. The
power will be supplied under
contract to the central stations,
and the stations will use it in
stead of generating current. The
present equipment of the sta
tions need not be dismantled,
but may be held in readiness for
emergencies.
The project involves the build
ing of q solid concrete dam
across the river, q powerhouse,
and q new lock and dry dock for
the accommodation of river
traffic.

1t will be observed that New
Mexico was first in eight out of
the total Of nine events, failing
only in the fifty yard egg race.
While the athletic record of
this institution has been phe-
nomenal, it has not been a mat
ter of luck, but has been due
rather to the following reasons:
Native ability of high order
in the members of the tam.
Unusual skill, care, and pa
tience on the part of the phys
ical director.
A climate which permits out
door play and exercise and train
ing during practically the entire
year.
The returns have not yet been
received from the boys field
meet, which was held two weeks
later. There is every reason to
hope for the first honor in the
last mentioned contest. When
the returns are in, THE News
will publish a complete review
of the athletic prowess of the
institution.

Of the richest camps in the entire

Along this line it is the intention
of Messrs. Adamson and Turner to
install, as rapidly as possible, the
required machinery for the handling
of the ore. Considerable expense
will be necessitated before the mine
is properly worked, one large item
being the fact that it will be nee.

OLD JOHNNIE
MINE SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT
NET PROFIT OF $4,000 MONTH
ARE BEING MADE WHERE
LOSSES PREVAILED.

That the Johnnie mine at Johnnie
is steadily improving and justify
ing the confidence and energy of
A. ID. Myers and associate owners
are bestowing upon it, is evidenced
by detailed reports of operations
Tor April and May which have just
become available for publication.
The improvement is not only in re-
duced costs in mining and milling.
but also in a material increase in
the average value of the ore.
The gross recovery for the two
months named was over SAL, 900, OF
which $21,763.53 is credited to
April and the balance to the month
of May. The production for April
was 2O40 tons, total operating costs
being $10,530.65, leaving net
profit for the month of $11,232.SS.
The average value per ton recov-
cred was $11.33, and the average
value OF the tailings ter ton was
$l.16, the average total per ton
produced being $12.49
An interesting feature of the re-
port of Superintendent j. Rourke
is the statement that nuggets
weighing nearly an ounce were tax
en- from the batteries, but no mug
gets were found in the mine. The
occurrence of the nuggets is ac-
counted for by the fact that the
vein is showing numerous seams
in the quartz, giving an excellen,
opportunity for the precipitation OF
gold in nugget form.
The lower levels of the mine are
showing an especially good grade
CT ore and large bodies of it. AS
the average value of all ore treat
ed for several years has been abou

SLABS OF GOLD ARE
BEING TAKEN OUT
Richest Ore Ever Mined In the State Is
Being Mined at the Adamson- Turner
Property Near Winnemucca.

The humboldt Star, published at
Winnemucca, furnishes the following
account Of the great gold discovery
near that town.
Slabs Of almost solid gold are
now being extracted from the ia
nous Adamson-Turner property at
Rexall, the Winnsmucca mountain
camp. Some Of the richest gold
ore yet found in the west is be-
ING daily extracted from the work
ings, but the extraction the latter
part OF last week capped the eli
max for rich ore. In one Of the
SHOOTS now being opened in this
property there is a streak that is
producing ore that is SO rich in
tie precious yellow metal that it
can be bent like piece Of lead
with the hands. 1t is wonderfully
rich ore that only needs to be melt
ed down to be put into bars. The
most significant feature OF this
find is that this fabulous ore is
coming from one of the lower work
ings OF the property at almost 100
feet depth. The rich streak is not
all that is in the shoot, for, besides
a large body Of milling ore, there
is at east ten inches of ledge ma
telial following the rich streak
tn is fairly alive with particles
of gold. This ore is being screened
and sacked for shipment and will
run IN the neighborhCod Of $1,000
to the ton.
The. present development work
accomplished on the Adamson-Tur-
ner property has proved it to be
another wonderful mine that is rap
idly getting in line with the rich
est in the state.
