THE LURE oE GOLD

Silver City, June 23.-The lure of
fabulous treasure is again taking ar
gonauts into the rugged wflds of the
Black range of New Mexico. For over
half a century prospecting parties
have gone into the Black range, go
miles northeast of Silver City, in the
attempt to discover the Lost Mines
which legends expound as being the
richest in gold bearing ore in the
west. The latest party to leave for
the Black range departed from Silver
City this week and was composed of
John H. Young, Deputy Sheriff Jose
Monies and Juan and Margerite Her
nandez. They possessed over ten
pack burros and each rode one of the
little camels of the west. The outfit
was one of the most complete that has
left in recent years and brought back
many memories to the old timers.

after that he had swallowed a ball of
paper. His condition became alarm

Ell Paso, where physicians failed to
find the cause of the trouble. Re
turning here the child's condition
again became alarming and he was
taken to Oklahoma City, but surgeons
declared him unable to Withstand an
operation. Death followed soon after

Men Pay Homage
to Mothers Friend

IT am not surprised to observe the
number Of men who come into the store
to purchase Mothers Friend remarked
= leading druggist.
The expeetant mother II she hasn't
heard Of this splendid embrocation is
probably not reading the papers to much
extent. And II she does 1t is a happy
thought to send hubby to the drug store.
Mothers Friend is applied externally
over the abdominal muscles.
It Is gentle, soothing lubricant, pene-
trates to the fine network of nerves
beneath the skin and has a marked
tendency to relieve the muscular strain
to which these broad, fat abdominal
muscles are subjected. The cords. ten
dons and ligaments are thus permitted to
stretch without the corresponding surface
strain so often involved during the period
Of expectation. And particularly to young
mothers Is this remedial application of
inestimable value since in thus keeping
the muscles firm but plant It enables
them to go through the ordeal without

struction and maintenance; ld) thus
relieved the counties can. without in
crease of present appropriations, build
more miles than now of secondary
county roads. thereby still further
reaching out into the more remote
farming districts; (e) such a system
of county roads will likewise be the
heavy traffic roads within their re-
spective towns. This will relieve the
towns of their construction and main
tenance; (f) and. finally, thus reliey-
ed, the towns can, without increase
of present appropriations. build more
miles than now OF their lighter traffic
roads and thereby reach those farm
ing districts lying farthest from our
market towns and railroads.
"By this fourfold system Of roads
there will be an impetus as yet un-
thought of, given to road building
throughout the nation. Authority and
responsibility win be logically and
economically divided and fixed with
out conflict arising. Uniformity and
efficiency will be established. Stand
ards of construction and maintenance
will be raised. The entire nation will
be given good roads everywhere by
a well balanced, connected system of
national and state highways and
county and town roads reaching out
to the most remote parts thereof.
They will be built in the shortest pos
sible time and with the utmost econ
omy. The money will get into roads,
where it belongs, and the cost will be
equitably distributed upon thise com
munities best able to bear the burden.
In other words, the farmer will thus
