which delayed the east bound limited
several hours. II arrived here about
ten O'Clock in the morning.
The mines ct Cananea have shut
down completely, owing to the dis
tucbance 10 Europe. All Of the cop
per mines Of the country are reducing
production. II they do not shut down
entirely they reduce forces and cut
wages. This Is not pleasant for the
workmen, but as the married men
are the ones retained It Is better than
an entire shut down.
The LIBERAL has been living high
this week. Miss Francis Cline brought
it q box Of peaches from her fathers
celebrated Gold Hill orchard, and
they we're equal to the famed Elberta
peach shipped from Alamogordo. Mrs.
B. B. Ownby sent up q box of grapes
from her vinyard north Of town, and
they surpassed anything brought in
from California. The LIBERAL GER
tainly was lucky.
In October, 1912, a miner employed
in the IS mine, working a power drill
drilled into a missed shot, causing an
explosion. No one now employed by
the company has any distinct recol-
lection Of the matter. Last week the
company was served with q complaint
that one Mccormick, who claims to
have been the machlnest's helper,
was seriously damaged by the explo-
sion, and wants the company to pay
him e45, 1000. The company will prob
ably defend the suit.
The European war Is most thorough
ly censored, and no one knows any
thing about It. The newspaper men
have been fired out of all the armies,
and the governments refuse to let
much news be sent owe the cables.
Notwithstanding this the papers are
full Of alleged news from the seat of
war 1t is probable that the big bat
Gle has not yet been fought, and when
It is we will only knew Of 1t through
the official reports. A big naval bat
tie Is also looked for. What is the
use of fighting II no one can tell the
story OF the ightP
The state corporation commission
has issued a circular TO the receivers
OF freight, urging them to unload and
turn loose freight cars as soon as prac-
ticable. This Is the time Of the year
for moving grain and cotton, and all
cars are needed. An additional need
Of cars is found this year, because Of
the European war. There is no ship
ping of grain and cotton, and when
the elevators and warehouses are full
many cars will be used for storing
these commodities, hence the urgent
need of turning loose every freight
Car possible.
Sunday morning, just as the sun
was getting up q motorcade started
east over the Borderland. It was led
by A. P. Warmers big Packard, and
followed by Nat Gammon's Buick

and Mrs. Indenreden, Mr., and Mrs.
Nat Cannon, Mrs. +. r. Coon, Miss
Helen Coon, J. B. Leahy and Harry
Wallace. They got to Deming In

the Mimbres hot springs in the after
noon. Mr.. Wallace. who was driving
the Packard, started back with it.and
got home sometime In the night. The
next day, Monday, Nat Cannon and
J. B. Leahy started for home in the
Buick. The sampled the far celebrat-
cd MimbreS valley mud, and got
home Tuesday. The rest Of the party
are enjoying themselves at b esprlngs.
The LIBERAL has been familiar
with this country for many years. 1t
made its first trip between Silver City
and Lordsburg 10 1887, and there has
been hardly . year since then that 1t
has not travelled overland between
the two towns, and some years made
several trips. Last week 1t went q trip
over and back, going by the Wood
canyon and White Signal route, and
wa greatly surprised to see the con-
dillon the range Is In. Except for the
