THE treasurer Of the state fair has
made his report, and from 1t 1t is
learned that the receipts Of the fair
were SIS, 458.67. OF this amount 3d..
620.75 came from the gate receipts;
Sl,494 from the grand stand; 90, 572.5O
from subscriptions, and $4,000 appro-
prlated by the state. The total ex-
pense OF the fair was S16,552 4s, leav.
ing a surplus OF 81, 875.l9. From the
comparative small amount Of the
gate receipts, and they compare well
with the gate receipts Of previous
fairs, 1t is evident that there are not
enough people In New Mexico who
care for fairs to warrant a contin-
uance Of the fair as a state institu-
tion. Where, as in this case, 1t was
necessary to spend 90. 80 to provide
entertainment for every dollar paid

The LIBERAL Is Informed that the

will be the last issue, and that the
reason stops Is because 1t was not

cially the small country weekly. II a

Large gains were made In the pro-
duction Of the precious and semipre-
cious metals in New Mexico In 1918,
according to preliminary estimates by
Charles w. Henderson, OF the United
States Geological Survey. The mine
production of gold showed an increase
Of 500, 600 over the output of s7S4, 448
in 1912; that Of silver, an increase Of
100000 ounces owe the production Of
1886, 70l ounces in 1912; lead, a de-
crease OF 800, 700 pounds from this
yield Of 5,494,O18 pounds in 1912; cop
per, an increase Of 100000 900 pounds
over the yield Of $4,000, 964 pounds In
1912; and zinc Figured as spelter or
zinc In zinc oxidel, an increase Of S.
900, 900 pounds over the output Of 49,
566, 637 pounds in 1912. Despite lower
average yearly prices for copper and
zinc, the total value Of the output
was S11, $40, 900, an increase for 1913 Of
over 90, 200, 900. The gold and silver
bearing s~iliceous and copper ores Of
the Lordsburg district contributed
heavily to the output Of gold and
silver. An increased yield Of gold and
silver was made from the White Oaks
district, Lincoln County. The Eliz-
abethtown district, in Colfax County,
continued as the most important
placerproduclng district and also ship
ped an increased tonnage Of ore.
The greater part Of the production Of
copper comes from the operations Of
the Chino Copper Co which is min
ing a lowgrade deposit at Santa Rita
by steam shovels. This ore is oncen
trated at Hurley, where the 5,0OO-ton
mill was operated steadily. In 1912
the gross production Of copper in con-
centrates and ore was 20, 377, 1855
pounds, while In 1913 the yield Of
copper was approximately 53,671,0OO
pounds. The Lordsburg district also
produced q considerable quantity OF
copper, and copper ore was also ship
ped from the Burro Mountain district
where in 1918 active development
work was done, including the COM
pletion Of q railroad from White
water, and where a mill is In prospect.
The copper mines and smelter at San
Pedro, Santa Fe County, also con-
trlbuted to the copper yield. The
lead output Of New Mexico comes
chiefly from crude ore from the Cen
trail district, Grant County; from lead
ore and concentrates from the Mag
dalena district, Socorro County; and
from ore from the Victoria district,
Luna County. Mines producing zinc
in 1918 in New Mexico we're in the
Magdalena district, SocorTo County;
in the Cooks and Victoria districts,
Luna County; and in the Hanover
and Pinos Altos districts, Grant Coun-
ty. The Magdalena district is the
most productive, the shipments Of
both zinc concentrates from the mills
and Of zinc carbonate showing an in
crease.

Charles H. Meyer, president Of the
Western Federation Of miners, last
Friday, got a little dose Of the med
icine his people have been for years
dealing out to the mine owners who
did not do business to suit the feder-
alton. For years, on occasions, the
mine owners, or their representatives,
have been manhandled with results
ranging all the way from a black eye
to sudden death, and there is no
record Of Mr.. Meyer eve having made
a remonstrance to such work. Last
week a deputation waited on Mr..
Meyer az his hotel, and told him his
presence in the copper country was
no longer appreciated, and suggested
that he go home. He was escorted to
the depot OF the Chicago g North
western road, where passage and
Pullman tickets we're provided for
him, and a couple Of husky deputy
sheTltfs accompanied him till he got
across the Michigan line into Wiscon-
sin. The next morning, In Chicago,
he complained bitterly Of the way he
had been manhandled. He exhibited
the bloody sheets and pillow cases Of
the Pullman berth, and said there
was a hole In his back, where he had
been shot. He made great o about
his treatment, and wants congress to
make an Investigation, and see II he
has not got a right to stay In the cop
per country Of Michigan, II he wants
TO. Secretary Wilson, of the depart
ment Of labor is greatly exercised at
the treatment Mr.. Meyer has received,
and IS preparing to make an investig-
alton 70 see II any OF the owners Of
the copper properties In Northern
Michigan have any more rights than
Villa is disposed to allow TeTrazas.
Secretary Wilson was formerly secre.
tary OF q miners union In Pennsyl-
vania.

For District Judge.

To the Democratic. Voters of Rapides
and Grant Parishes:
The Legislature, just adjourned, has
submitted an amendment to our State
Constitution to create an additional
judge for this district, so as to give
Rapides and Grant parishes two Judges
instead of one. The amendment, to
become law and thus create the office.
must receive a majority vote all over
the State in the general election in
November. l think it premature, at
this time, to announce myself formally
as a candidate for an office not vet Gre
ated, or to make an aggressive cam
paign in an election which may never
be held.
If, however, the people create the
extra judgeship for this district, now
announce to my Democratic friends
and the voters of Rapides and Grant
parishes that shall be candidate for
the nomination for the extra judgeship
by the Democratic party, and will an
nounce my name formally as soon as
the office is created. Until this hap
pens, ! respectfully request my friends
before making any pledges to consider
the fact that shall be in the race.
Respectfully yours,

The Ball Affidavit q Bag of Wind.

Mr.. PERKINS, campaign mana
gers have thrown the affidavit of
j. F. Ball into the political arena
as if it was a solid cannon shot,
but it proves to be only a hollow
soft windy ball. In Grant parish
it can have no. effect with the
voters, because they know it is
only wind, but with Mr.. Aswell's
vigorous reply, which we publish
in another place, it should not
have any influence in any of the
other parishes. 1t is completely
punctured by Mr.. Aswell, when
he characteristics it as "a wilful
and infamous falsehood, and was
known to be such when uttered. !"

therefore we should not waste
our energies by voting compli-
mentary or from friendship for
any candidate outside of the par
ish. Mr.. j. A. Williams was
raised in Grant, and is in every
way qualified for the office and
entitled to the united support of
the voters of the parish.
The action of Grant parish in
this matter will be a precedent
for Rapides in the future, and
for that reason our citizens should
turn out and give such a large
vote as to show their sentiment
and interest in an issue of such
vital Importance to this communi-
ty in the maintenance and en-
forcement of its separate indie
pendence. Rapides at this time
is said to largely concede the
Judge to Grant, and if we show
by our vote that we want it. and
demand it as our right, in the fu-
tue they will in all probability
acquiesce in such an arrange
ment without any controversy.

The war in Europe is assuming
worldwide proportions. In adj

namely. Germany and Austria,
opposed by France. Belgium.
Russia and England, other ma
tons are becoming embroiled in
the ARRAY. Japan. as the ally of
Great Britain, has notified Ger
many of her intention to engage
in war with her. Canada is mar
shaling troops and voting money
to help the mother country, and
Italy and other countries seem
destined to be drawn into the
controversy.
Several sanguinary battles have
occurred in Belgium during the
week. and also along the French
frontier and in Alsace and Lor-
rain. The Germans have taken
Brussels, the capitol of Belgium,
which being unfortified was aban-
doned. and the government NOV
ed to Antwerp, a fortified city,
which will be defended by the
allies to the last extremity. AS
an Offset to German progress at
Brussels, the French have won
several important points in AL
SAGE.
