San Antonio, Texas, Dec. pa fine
point in law as to the title the United
States government gives to property
purchased after seizure " customs Of
ficers is involved in a case that is to be
tried in the state court at Maria. As
sistant United States district attorney
Hugh r. Robertson will represent the
interests of the government. The case
raises the point in which the defendant
is shown to have purchased cattle that
were seized by customs officials on the
Mexican border. Now the owners come
forward and dispute the right Of the
officials to seize the cattle, claiming
they were brought into this country in
a legal manner. Should this matter be
terest as to what action the courts will
take.

The latter part Of this week was one
of progress in the Gold Hill district
north of LOrdsburg, when a new stamp
mill was blown into service by Frank
c. Cline. The equipment consists Of
two $50 pound stamps. a Jaw crusher
and amalgamatiOn equipment. Two
gasoline engines supply the power.
Part of the machinery was taken from
the old Woods mill at Gold Hill but
most of it is new. Mr.. Cline is Operat-
ing the Roosevelt mine and is taking
out ore averaging SO per ton in gold,
there being no other values. The ore
occurs as fissure filling in the char
acteristic Gold Hill coarse grained
granite and is from one to three feet
in width. The gangue material is a
"honeyCOmb" quartz. The mine is not
developed to any great depth but the
values are regular.
To Put In Cyanide Plant.
Mr. Cline's present plans are to op-
crate the stamp mill for a short time
but later to put in a cyanide plant at

BAD ROADS ARE
NINE HANDICAP

Shipments When Roads I'm
prove; Officers Elected.

Lordsburg, N. NJ, Dec. 22.-As soon as
road conditions permit the hauling Of
ore from the '85'' mine LordsbUrg will
have an era of renewed activity. Joe
Oluey, the ore Ireighting contractor
for the "85" mine has sent for more
teams following instructions from the
company that the daily tonnage is to
be increased substantially. This week s
shipments were slight, owing to the
deplOrable conditions Of the roads fol-
lowing a severe snow storm and rain.
The ore wagons were buried up to the
hubs in mud and work has slackened
at the mine in order to not over tax the
bins

ers in the "85 Mining company" held
in the offices here, the following were
reelected to office: Arthur Warner,
president: c. H Warner, secretary and
b. P. Yates treasurer and vice presi-
dent The Warmers are of the speedo-
meter fame and Mr.. Yates is million
aire wood working machinery manu-
facturer in BelOit, Wisconsin. W. F.
Ritter was reelected general manager.
His general supervision over the "85"
operations in the past was such as to
warrant his reappOintment without
much comment. Mr.. Ritter is an i'm
portant factor in the success Of the
mines.
The officials spent much time at the
new power house where late type
DIESEL engines, generators, air com
pressOrs, etc, have been installed, and
were very favorably impressed with
the progress made as well as the sue
cessfulness of the new equipment.
To Add Electric Hoist.
It was decided upon that the mine
was in a position where deep min
ing electric hoist was in order and one
will be purchased and installed at the

The addition of a night shift to the
working forces is to be made IN the
near future when the town OF Lords
burg will most likely be furnished with
electricity and the plant at town closed
down temporarily There is line con-
Meeting LOrdsburg with the "S5" mine
and the turning of a switch would put

On account of the unstaple condition
of the copper market the directors did

prepared to act when the time comes.
BOnney Mine Gets Machinery.
