COPPER SMUT DOWN
Is NOT SERIOUS

The war in Europe will not ser
iously affect the mining camps of
Southwest New Mexico or the state
in general. for that matter, operators
say.
The reason for this is the diversi-
fled minerals which are mined in New
Mexico. While copper mining leads
in this part Of the state and copper
properties at Santa Rita and Tyrone
have suspended, there are also big
properties producing gold, silver,
lead and zinc.
Coal mining in various parts Of the
state, especially in the Gallup. Ration
and Dawson fields, is reported to be
unusually active. with heavy daily
outputs by the mines in the fields
mentioned.
New Mexico coal has been greatly
in demand since the strike in Colo
RADIO, which has caused a severe fuel
shortage there, while in the past few
months thousands Of tons of coal
has been exported to Mexico for use
by the rebels.
Though no gushers have been
brought in, the drilling operations for
oil in the Pecos valley section con-
tnnc and hope is still held out by the
>yndieates engaged in these opera
iions that their efforts will be re-
warded by the bringing in Of some
paying wells.
Should oil be found in paying
quantities, II might cause big
change in the fuel situation in the
state.

Two women and two small children
narrowly escaped death in runaway
accident Sunday afternoon when .
spirited team became frightened and
ran for over two miles. Mrs. Ralph
Greason, wife Of the Southern Pa
cific local ticket agent, with her two
little children and Mr.. Greason's
cousin, Miss Grace Eppley, were
seated in the rear seat Of q carriage
standing in front Of the Greason
home near the railroad, when the
horses became frightened at o pass
ing train. As the horses started Mrs.
Greason made an attempt to grab the
lines and was thrown out Of the car
riage, two of the wheels passing over
her body bruising her about the
limbs. The team ran west on Rail-
road avenue to n point near the wa
ter company's stand pipe and then
turned across the railroad tracks
and slowed up near the stock yards
where they were stopped by a man by
the name of Weaver. Miss Eppley
stuck to the carriage with the two
Greason children and none Of them
were injured. II was most fortunate
that no one was seriously injured
and Mr.. Greason has been unable to
find the man who stopped the team,
10 give his heartfelt thanks for his
timely assistance.

From all Indications there will be
= number Of new faces ON the high
school football squad this year. The
new men entering are u husky bunch.
and will give the old boys hard
fight for their places.
Some Of the new men have had
previous football experience, and the
football squad this year will prob
ably number twenty men. From this
squad team can be picked that will
make any team in the Southwest
work to cross their goal line.
The grounds for the new athletic
field have not been put in shape as
yet. At an early date they will be
cleaned Of weeds and leveled so that
football practice will be started on
the first day Of the new school year.
Steed, Hoffman, Rosch. Howard
and Emery are already training, and
r,imor has II that several sensational
punters have been developed. Las
Cruces High school will be strong in
the kicking department this year. and
this will be great aid in developing
the new open style Of play that will
be used throughout the season.
The boys are particularly enthusi-
asiic over the display of help and in
terest the business men of Deming
have shown toward the team. The
attitude of the business men has new
er been shown as it has this year,
and il is hoped by each and every
one that the team will do credit to
the valley as all indications point.
Prof. N. B. German now Of Lords
burg has promised to scour the coun-
try in an effort to raise a team to
play the boys Of Deming, and II is
hoped he will be successful. The
athletic relations with Lordsburg
have never been very close and it is
hoped that this year the contest will
bring the towns into a closer friend
ship.
Superintendent j. B. Taylor will
arrive in the city in a few days, and
progress will then be made in an ef-
fort to arrange schedule for next
fall II is hoped that this may be
published at an early date. in order
to show what the boys are contem-
plating in an athletic way. Prof.
Taylor hopes to be able to see the
championship bestowed upon the
boys of his high school, and the boys
in turn are anxious to bring back the
honors
Company has organized a team
with Sergeant Jess Oliver as captain.
The local national guard company
contains much good material for a
strong football team and will give
the high school team several good
pnmes during the season. Practice
has already begun, the first meeting
being held on the rifle range.

Of intense suffering, Sam Gibson
closed his eyes in death. Mr.. Glib
son was born in Texas on February
%. 1882. In January, 1904, he mar
ried Miss Margaret lrby. Mr.. Glib
son first became i'll about three and
one-half years ago. He later i'm
proved for time, but in April, 1913,
while living in Maricopa, Arizona, he
began to fail rapidly and was obliged
to give up his work. In February Of
this year, his brother, Garnett Glib
son, went to Arizona to bring him
here, hoping that the change would
prove beneficial. Mr.. Gibson was ac-
companied by his young wife, whose
devotion to her husband was touch
ingly beautiful, and by VIM. Soule,
n friend in the true sense of the word,
for he gave up his interests to help
make the last months Of the stricken
man more comfortable. Mr.. Gibson
had keen sense of humor, which
remained with him in spite of his
great suffering. The three young
people won the friendship Of all who
met them and many tear Of sym
patty was shed when il was realized
that the devoted love and friendship
which were his. could not save this
man who had so much to live for.
Besides the grief stricken wife. Mr..
Gibson is survived by two brothers,
Garnett A. and Omer Gibson and two
sisters. Mrs. May Inmon and Mrs.
Zona Wright. The entire community
extends sincere sympathy to the be-
reaved. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. Theodore
Plat ut the Baptist church in Dem
