LOOKS like
4 GOLD MINE

W. H. Franklin came down
from his gold mining claim the
first of the week. He thinks he
has a sure winner. He now has
a batch Of ore ready for the mill,
and the result Of this milling will
decide whether the lead is going
to hold up to the promise Of the
assay. His claim is about eight
miles from Cerillos and twelve
miles from Clarks. in the Ortiz
mountains. He has five men ut
work and the tunnel 10 now 140
feet back into the mountain.
Several Estancia parties are in
terested in the mine and We hope
they will all become nillionairss.

that will get results. From my
experience and observation COW
ering q period of about twenty.
five years on the frontier / am
inclined to think Mr.. Edwards
suggestion may not be far from
right and that there are men
with money and experience look
ing for just such conditions as
we now have, and it may be that
the exercise Of q little ordinary
horse sense at this time is all
that is needed to turn the tide in
the other direction.
Let's get together and talk it
over. anyhow.

GOOD ROADS DAY

Some of the good roads boost
ers of New Mexico became en-
thused over the Missouri idea of
having a Good Roads Day" up
on which every able bodied man
in the state will turn out and put
in a good days work on the pub
lie roads. Accordingly Septem-
Der 10th has been named as the
day when this thing is going to
happen. What is being done
about it here? We understand
the Willard people are taking
hold of the idea and will have a
public meeting Saturday to per-
feet plans for the work.

ROAD WORK STOPPED

John w. Corbett, secretary of
the road board, was here from
Mountainair Tuesday. and tells
us that the board will suspend
operations until the supreme
court decides upon the status of
the board. It il possible that by
an understanding with the board
Of county commissioners he and
Surveyor Hawkins will proceed
with the preliminary work of To-
eating roads. but nothing more
than this will be done until the
court speaks.

COARSE WORK
MAKES TROUBLE

The work Of that sweet legisla.
ture keeps cropping up here and
there. The latest 10 in regard to
road matters. the district court
in San Miguel county having de-
cided that under the new road
law the county road board has no
power to pay out money for road
work. The law provides that the
road board shall collect the road
tax, and expenditures for road
work shall be under the super
vision of the road board. but &C.
cording to the decision mentioned
the board cannot pay for work.
Thus those wise law makers fixed
it 30 that the board Of county
commissioners can't collect road
tax and have road work done.
while the road board can collect
the tax and have work done but
can't pay for it. Beautiful. in
deed. Also it appears from pro-
had in Dona Ana county
that delinquent tax sales are in
as bad a muddle ~ the road mat
ters, all because Of the tinkering
Of the law by that same ret Of
jackleg legislators.

WHAT WILL YOU
DO ABOUT It?

In the meeting of the Torrance
county Development Association
at Mountainair on Torrance
County Day the situation as II
stands today was discussed. Al
though the present year will not
be SO prosperous from the stand
point of the dry farmer, it was
decided to continue the work
started by the Torrance County
Development Association one
year ago-the critical time was
at hand and we should be pre-
pared to take advantage Of the
good year that is to follow. The
talking point for the coming
year will be Water, Water,
Water" The stock farming
proposition, the dairy business
and Torrance County as a health
resort will not be lost sight of.
These have already been demon
strated and are valuable assets of
our county. We want to know
the possibilities of the underflow
of water and what can be done
in Torrance county under practi-
cal irrigation-reservoir storage
and the pumping system. Ar.
rangements will be made to take |
State Engineer French over the
county and secure his endorse
ment before seeking government
aid in any public projects. The
association will endeavor to send
an exhibit to the state fair, con-
sisting of pictures showing the
interesting places of Torrance
County, windmill irrigation pro-
jects and dry farm products.
Conditions are the same in other
dry farm counties so we stand
the same chance of winning first
prize as we did last year.
At the afternoon meeting Roy
Bedecheck, of Deming, read a
paper on Harmony, The Com
munity's Chief Asset This
paper should be read by every
person in New Mexico and was
