SACK OF VALUABLE
MAIL FOUND ON DESERT

A dispatch from White Bluffs says
that Highland ranchers residing in
the vicinity of Daniels postoffice, a
few miles from White Bluffs, are
excited over the finding on the desert
today of a sack containing valuable
papers, contracts and notes belong
ing to Fetch Campbell, unknown
in this part of the state.
It is feared that crime has been
committed and that the perpetra-
tors threw the property, which they
could not use, over the high bluff
near the Columbia river.
Postmaster Daniels of Daniels
discovered the sack at the bottom of
the bluff, where it had lain only a
day or two, and gave it into the
care of Attorney G.. B. Hamlet, who
is endeavoring to locate the rela-
tives of Campbell.
The package contains a letter
from w. D. Campbell, Beattle,
Kan, R. F D No. l, and an effort
| will be made to reach him.

IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY

On account Of the exceptionally
large grain crop throughout the
Northwest this year and the natural
~ heavy shipments OF coal, lumber
ana other commodities during the
tall and early winter, and in order
that the railway companies may
promptly handle the fall business.
1t Is very important that shippers of
all classes of goods should Cooperate
", the railway companies in hand
ling this traffic so as to avoid delay.
!he railway companies are arrang-
ing to provide all the equipment
necessary to handle shipments with
ina reasonable period if the bust
ness is not punched" on them.
The so-called car shortage is seldom
really an actual shortage of cars.
IL Is almost invariably caused by
concentrating, at one time, ship
ments OF products which can easily
be extended over a wider period.
Delays in loading and unloading
cars and a shortage of storage facili-
ties for coal, lumber, grain, etc., at
interior towns also helpto longest
business and prevent the prompt
release of loaded cars and their fur
Their and continued use.
Ii the people and the shippers
OF the Northwest will endeavor to
place their orders for coal and other
commercial products early in the
season, and arrange proper storage
facilities for coal, lumber, grain,
etc., a great deal of this delay, par
ticularly during the winter time,
will be avoided. The people of the
Northwest can facilitate this by plac-
ing their orders, for example, for
coal and similar commodities, with
the local dealers early in the season
and having same delivered to them.
In this way they will assist the ship
pers and, necessarily, the transport
tation companies, in so arranging
the movement of business that there
will be no congestion.
The efforts on the part of all to
assist in this undertaking will re-
suit in greatly improving the state
of affairs, and it is hoped that those
who read this statement will act &C
cording to these suggestions.

SEATTLE CORPORATION GETS
BIG CEMENT CONTRACT
Superior Company's Product Recon-
mended for Lake Washington Canal
Lock Construction
(FIom Seattle Post lntellisencer)

Bidding in the keenest sort of
competition against the cement
manufacturing plants of California,
the Superior Portland Cement COM
pany, OF Seattle, yesterday won the
coveted recommendation for award
of the government contract to sup
ply 100000 barrels of cement for
the lock for the Lake Washington
Canal.
After exhaustive tests, Major J.
B. Cavanaugh, corps of engineers,
U. S. A., who is in charge of feder-
al river and harbor work in this
district, favorably reported on the
Superior company's product and
his recommendation has been for
warded to Secretary of War, H. L.
L. Stimson.
Major Cavanaugh today author
lied the statement that the local
product had been recommended for
the award, but said that final &C
ton must be taken at Washington.
The contract, if finally given to
the Seattle company, will be the
largest of its kind ever awarded to
local corporation manufacturing
cement. In money, the award, it
is stated, will figure between $780,
600 and $500, 1000. The plant of
the Superior company, located at
Concrete, was built by Seattle cap
italists six years ago, but recently
its capacity was practically doubled.
Work on the Lake Washington
Canal lock will be done by the gov
eminent without the Intermediary
of contractors and will require be-
tween twelve and eighteen months
for completion.
It is probable that two shifts of
men will be employed in the work,
when weather conditions permit.

crease, according to the preliminary
report of Charles w. Henderson os

The increase Mr.. Henderson ascribes
to the cyanide plants at Mogollon,
Socorro county, and to the increased
shipments of gold and silver bearing
siliceous and copper ores from the,
Lordsburg and Central districts,
Grant county. The report continues:
Gold bullion was produced ut
White Oaks, Lincoln county; at Eliza

Production in the lead-zinc camp
at Kelly, Socorro county. in the form
of both lead and zinc ore and concen-
trates, was confined chiefly to the
mines of the Tri-Bullion Smelling and
Refining company and the Ozark
Smelling and Refining company. al
though there was also considerable
of and prospecting fer
zinc ore bodies.
mo smelters were in operation in
New Mexico in 1911, but the old Con-
solidated Lead smelters and mines az
Los Cerrillos were purchased by the
Sunset company, which shipped lead
copper ore in 1911. Lead and copper
ores and concentrates and siliceous
ore are shipped to Ell Paso, Texas, TO
Omaha, Nebraska, and to the Copper
Queen, Shannon, and Calumet and
Arizona smelters, Arizona. Zinc ores
are shipped to the middle western
states. All copper and lead ores
contributed as usual to the precious
metal output.
According to preliminary figures
compiled by the director of the mint,
New Mexico produced in 1911, $639.Ss7

ROOSEVELT SAYS He
Is MISREPRESENTED
COLONEL is QUOTED AS HAVING
MADE VARIOUS UTTERANcES
AT ALDINE CLUB.

New York, Jan. 10.-Just what did
Colonel Roosevelt say as to his pos
sible candidacy for the presidency in
his speech at the Aldine club last
night? This is a question which is
vexing many New Workers today. Re
porters were barred at the Colonel's
request and the accounts of his speech
given today by those who heard him
were widely at variance.
The first man to leave the club
quoted Colonel Roosevelt as saying:
Il am not candidate for the presi-
dency, but if nominated l will run"
The next man out declared Roose-
welt had said: "I am not a candidate.
will not be candidate. l do not
want to be candidate"
Another man declared that all the
Colonel said was: Il am the most mis-
represented man in America"
1.-THE statements that have appeared
in certain newspapers are absolutely
without foundation in fact"
Lawrence Abbott, acting for Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who declined to re-
ceiye interviewers, thus spoke today
in Reputation of varying newspaper
accounts purporting to quote the col
onel on his attitude toward the presi-
Dental nomination as voiced here last
night at the dinner he attended.
Mr. Roosevelt will make no state
ment or comment of any kind regard
ing the Aldine club dinner, no repre-
sentative of the press was present,
and am certain that no one attempt
ed to repeat Mr.. Roosevelt's words for
publication, because to do so would
have been to break faith" said Mr..
Abbott.
