Things have been unusually active
at the chamber of commerce during
the past month, more people coming
from different parts of the country
than they have in many months.
Some days it is actually necessary
for the secretary to make dates
ahead at certain hours in order to
meet all the people and give them
the information they desire. Men Of
large means are becoming deeply in
terested here, and more attention il
being directed toward this valley
than any other region of the South
west. due to our splendid system OF
publicity. and to the fact that when
visitors come here they find things
even better than they had anticipat-
ed
Only this morning prominent
gentleman dropped in from San
Francisco and among other things,
said to the secretary, "You have here
one of the very best towns | have
seen in the Southwest; the spirit of
Deming seems to be that Of progress
and prosperity, and it is no wonder
that you are attracting good people,"
As the secretary of the chamber
of commerce is likewise secretary of
the board of education, he informs
the Graphic that there is not a day
passes that he does not receive from
one to three or four applications
from the best teachers of the United
States who would like to come to
this region to teach. He could se-
lect dozen corps of teachers ev-
cry month from the applications that
he receives. This only points to the
fact that the people Of the United
States have n splendid impression of
Dcming and her environments.

GERMANS ARE MAKING
TREMENDOUS EFFORT
An Along The Eastern Front and In
to Baltic Provinces the Russian
Forces are Being Attacked.
BERLIN CLAIMING VICTORIES


The battle in western Galicia,
launched few days ago with an
Austro German attack from the
Cracow region, has developed into
one Of the greatest encounters of the
war. Petrograd dispatches admit
that the situation is serious one,
although it is asserted there that the
advance has been checked. At Vi
enna and Berlin, however, it is claim.
ed the Russians have begun the re.
treat, that their whole position in the
Carpathians is precarious and that
the entire eastern campaign may turn
on the events of the next few days.
The German invasion of the Baltic
province of Russia, which is regard
ed lightly in Petrograd, is said in
Berlin to be an important movement,
under the personal direction of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. His aim
is believed to be the capture Of Libau
and Riga, which would enable him
to harnss Russian communications
with Petrograd.
In Belgium further gains have been
made by the Germans. The French
official statement comedies that the
Germans won positions on the dis
puted Hill 60, near Ypres, and that
the British were able to retake only
parts of them.
Rome, Vienna and Berlin ndvices
indicated that u crisis had come in
the negotiations between Italy and
Austria. In Rome, where it had been
felt Of late that war was inevitable
there has been Il sudden revival OF
hope for peaceful settlement. owing
TO the fact that Austria is said Il
have realized the necessity of making
substantial territorial concessions.
Berlin newspapers said Italy's
participation in the war must be re-
garded as not unlikely.
A force of 10000 Turks, which
attacked the Russians in the Dilman
Khori region Of the Caucasus. was
said to have been repulsed with
heavy losses and compelled to retire
in disorder.
Still another neutral steamer has
been sunk in the North sea, although
whether by a mine or torpedo has
not been established. The Danish
vessel Cathay, from Denmark for
China, was blown up. but her pas
sengers and crew, numbering 43, es-
capped.
Two British vessels, schoone,
and trawler, also were sunk by
shells fred by submarine. The
crews were permitted to leave their
ships and escaped.

FIND LOOT HIDDEN BY RAnIS
MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS Ago
Under Ledge Of Rock, Cowmsn Un-
cover Small Drypoods Store
Buried After Ok Drawn Wagon
Train Had Been Piundered.

A short time ago Leo Wiiiiams, one
of the prominent cattlemen Of the
Mimbres Valley, and one Of his as
sistants, Jack Reynolds, were scout
ing around in the Goodsight mount
aims adjoining the famous cattle
ranch of j. @. Kerr at Florida sta
ton, seventeen miles from Deming,
when they discovered under ledge
of overhanging rock in the canyon
wall the protruding end Of piece
of calico. They immediately secur-
I'd tools and after digging for a
short time uncovered articles enough
to stock a fair sized drygoods store.
Subsequent to the visit Of Messers
Williams and Reynolds, an explor-
ing party consisting Of J. q. Kerr,
Sigmund Lindauer, Ralph A. Lynd,
Leo Williams, Jack Reynolds, and
". L. Holt, drove to the spot where
the discovery was made and upon
further investigation discovered
g,inny sacks, saddle blankets, span
ish bride bits, parts of firearms,
hatchet, and various other pieces OF
merchandise. Several bolts Of the
cloth and many Of the other articles
were in fair state Of preservation.
The colors of the cloth were as clear
as when they had been stamped, and
the bolts were intact with the ex-
ception Of where the mice had eaten
holes.
The unearthing of this assortment
Of merchandise recalls to the mind
Of Sigmund Lindauer, one Of the
veteran businessmen Of Deming,
who is known over the entire South
west, the fact that thirty-five years
ago there took place in the Mag
dalena canyon a terrible massacre
by the Apache Indians under the
craftsmanship Of the notorious Vic
torio. According to Mr.. Lindauer's
recollection Of the tragedy, an OK
drawn wagon train was enroute from
the Rio Grande valley to Silver City
with a consignment Of goods for l..
N. Cohen and r. b. Highly and pos
sibly Reynolds and Griggs, the firms
engaged in the mercantile business
at Silver City nt that time. 1t ap-
pears that the entire party was killed
by the savages. Persons passing
that way a few days later found the
oven, some Of which were still alive.
II would seem that after the trag-
edy in the remote canyon, the goods
we're taken to the cache where they
were Just found and left covered with
little earth over a lining Of hay and
sotol weed. The end Of the bolt
Of cloth was evidently left protrud-
ing above the ground to mark the
hiding place.
The history Of the Indian raids Of
the early eighties tells Of the kill
inr Of the band Of Apaches, which
destroyed the wagon train. Only
the chief survived and he died with
out confessing his part in plunder-
ing. In passing il might be said that
Chief victorio was a predecessor oi
the notorious Geronimo, and that the
latter had nothing on the former IN
the way Of murders and pillage.
Time has wrought great changes
For many years and at present
There Is not an Indian Of any de-
sciption resident in Deming and th'
! Mimbres Valley. Geronimo's band
