Determining soIvency.

It is obvious that to determine whether one is solvent In the ordinary sense of the term-as the term is used, for instance in the bankruptcy act his assets must equal or exceed his liabilities. Tn order to be of sufficient financial ability to respond to the de mands of the compensation act there must be a large excess of assets over liabilities. Furthermore, the character of the applicant for the certificate of solvency and financial ability, and his history, must be such as to justify the belief that his business will not only be honestly conducted with a view of doing justice to his employ ees within the range of his duties under the act but will probably be so con- servative1y and successfully managed that the chance of his inability to pay ten years hence will be reduced to a minimum. Among the controlling elements are, therefore, the hazard of his business, his financial strength and his personal character.
 Another vitally important element will be developed in the answers to the questions which will, in effect, be put to him, what arrangements have you made to meet your obligations un- der the act. what funds have you de- voted to that purpose, and how are those, funds to be safeguarded for the benefit of future injured employees?

An Opinion

The idea of changing the name OF
the state to that of Lincoln is being
much discussed by the newspapers
and it seems to us that there is con-
siderable opposition to the change
of the name. 1t is true that the
state is being retarded in its growth
and unfavorable reports are being
circulated by those ignorant OF
geography that are not favorable to
us on account of the trouble IN
Mexico. At the same time much
confusion would result in the change
and it is difficult to say whether the
change would be beneficial Col

| BUSINESS INTERESTS COOPERATE.
The business interests Of Deming
have stakcd the future of the city
on the success of agriculture in the
MimbreS Valley and, as progressive
businessmen, seized upon the idea
/ Of the farmers as calculated to ad-
| vance the prosperity of the whole
community. The board of directors
of the Dcming Chamber of Com.
mcrcc appointed Il committee con-
sisling Of j. NJ. Mcreer, II. II. Kel.

respectively of the association. Be-
sides this committee, headed by A..
A. Tcmkc of the Chamber Of Com
mcrcc, may other business men Of
the city met with the farmers and
assisted them in very substantial
way. The committee will further
assist George McCan, treasurer of
the association, in raising the bal.
ancc uf the funds necessary. 1t was
an old fashioned Mimbres revival
and the spirit of optimism which has
chosen the land of 99.99 per cent

ifcstcd itself in the many inspired
speeches made by those present.
BEGINNING OF NEW ERA.
1t is not the mere matter of cheap
cr fuel oil and better farming meth
ods over which the booster of the
city and valley are rejoicing, but
! the new era of civic patriotism en-
gendercd and crystali2ed through
the association of the various inter-
estS Of the community. 1t is prob
able that the constitution of the Oil
Buyers Association will be made
broad enough to take in almost any
activity in which the farmers may
think it of advantage to cooperate,
and that the hest elements of this
society will here find a forum in
which the tenet of progress will be
frequently and insistently proclaimed

AMERICAN OPAL CO.
HAS GOOD PROPERTY
Developing the Best Opal
Mines in the United
States
PLAN INCORPORATION SOON
This Famous Black Opal is
Found in Connection with
Same.

Lying in the foot hills Of Il spur
of the Rocky mountains. about
forty.five miles northwest of Dem.
ing, near the center of Grant coun-
ty, famed for its vast mineral
wealth and gem deposits, is ledge
of rhyolite. utterly dissimilar to
any other rock formation in this
section of the country, extending IA
mile in a north-eastery and south
westerly direction and about thirty
to fifty feet in width.
RICH IN GEMS
In this dyke are innumerable rich
opal-bearing veins, from one-quar-
ter inch to two inches in width,
which are plainly visible on the sur.
face and which are increasing in
width with depth.
OF BEST QUALITY
The quality of these opaIS has
been pronounced by gem experts To
be- of the purest kinl and the
texture fully equal to the celebrated
Australian gems.
EXPERTS OPINION
Early specimens sent the New
Mexico School of Mines brought
forth the following reply:
The specimens have been handed
to our professor of geology and
mineralogy for examination and he
reports that the opal is filling cracks
in an extrusive igneous rock called
rhyolite which is attached to your
specimen. 1t was formed by preci
pitation from hot water which came
I'd at one time through these
cracks as hot springs
OLD PROPERTIES
These properties have been known
as opal.bearing for many years
but have remained uneXploltcd un-
ill the present owners located the
claims and commenced active dcveI-
opment some six weeks ago, when
the first prospecting gave promise
of the rich reward which followed.
The quality and quantity, which
is practically ineXhauStlble, far sur
passes the fondest expectations OF
the owners. In every shaft there
has also been found numerous veins
of the rare black opal, which Ike
the other stones, are improving
with depth,
The properties are fortunately
situated within a half mile of Bay
ard, a station on the A. /. 4 ). +,
railway.
OFFICE AT DEMlNG
The office of the company has
been established at Deming, from
where the opals will be ground and
polished and distributed to gen
dealers throughout the world.
Those interested in the enterprise
are Major James r. WaddilI, Johr
S. Waddill, Archibald NJ. Davis
Charles B. Spence and Willard +
Holt.
