Editor Ell PasO Herald:
As taxpayer and voter, I desire to
present to the taxpaying voters OF FL
PasO county a few Of the many reasons
why the proposed bond issue for $780,
600, to be voted on October u, should
be carried.
The amount is large, but It Is not
more than sufficient to build a part OF
the class Of roads that should be built
and the class Of roads which the COM
missioners' court expects to build. The
taxpayers Of this county cannot afford.
out Of the funds from bond issues. to
build roads that will wear out entirely,
or even deteriorate to a large extent
before the bonds are paid. as has been
the case IN the past. Such policy is
ruinous. as IL would call for the issue
and reissue Of bonds until the burden
would become too great for the tax
payer to bear It is not feasible or
economical to build roads which make
continuous repairs necessary, as has
Deen The case in the past These re-
pairs practically become a large fixed
charge, which would tend to increase
from year to year, and make necessary
a high taxation or the issue of other
bonds to the great detriment OF the
taxpayers.
The construction Of good roads would
increase the value OF the property
throughout the county, and especially
up and down the Rio Grande valley. and
thus increase the tax rate, which would
be great advantage. in raising reve-
nues, but which increase the land owner
can well afford to pay
The construction Of new roads would
encourage immigration and the bring
ing into cultivation Of lands which are
now unproductive
The construction Of smooth. paved
roads as against the ordinary dirt roads
enables the farmer in bringing
his product TO market to increase his
load at least so percent, and the time
or rate Of travel per mile would be con-
siderably increased over what il would
be on a dirt road. thus saving much
time to the farmers.
Good roads are one OF the highest
evidences Of civilization. and are al
ways an excellent advertisement
1 understand that the commissioners
court contemplates IL the bond issue
IS carried. the adoption Of new and ef-
icient methods in the expenditure Of
the money received from the bonds. and
1 call attention to some of the plans
which our commissioners will doubtless
adopt.
There should be established a reEu-
lar system o. grades, in such manner as
to avoid damage which occurs when any

OLD MOSS MINE, ONCE RICH
PRODUCER. GIVES NEW PROMISE

kingman, Ariz-, Oct Smother OF
the oldest mines in the state appears
TO be in a fair way Of coming to its
own again. In the early SOS, a scout
named Johnny Moss located the Moss
mine in the Silver Creek district and
shipped rich ores from il. 1t is said
that, at the surface, ores were found
which yielded $4,000 to the ton and
that two tons were sold on the San
Francisco market A 100 foot shaft
was sunk on the vein and kidneys
were found containing ore that yielded
from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton A pc
cuuliaritv OF the mine was the wonder
ful specimens Of rose quartz which
were taken from II. Much OF this was
used for iewelry.
Rex Beach, the novelist, acquired an
interest in this mine several years ago
and some exploration work was done.
The drifts were all run in the wrong
direction and il was not until the pres
ent owners, the Gold Road Mines com
pany. took over the property that the
old vein was rediscovered-

greater values than had been found IN
the Tom Reed ground were to be found

property now known as the United

It is said that there were absolutely
no surface indications on the property
and that 1t was not until depth Of
300 feet had been reached that even a

Eight months ago the first crosscut
into the vein was made at the 800
level and a good ore body was opened
No drifting was done on this ore, but
the shaft was sunk another 100 feet
when another crosscut was run to the
ore. At 465 feet, drifting has been
carried on to the north and it is on this
level that the phenomenal values men
toned have been found.
The news of this discovery has eX-

a fact, however, that the entire district
for several miles around has been To-
Gated and there seems little opportun-
ity for other than investors.
The price of United Eastern stock
has advanced to $3.50 per share and is
climbing daily. Four Los Angeles
bankers and two eastern mining en-
gineers advanced $4,000 toward the
development Of the mine and received
therefor 60O, 900 shares Of the stock.

RETAIL MERCHANTS TO MEET.

! Editor FL Paso Herald:
In talking with several grocery mer-
+ chants Of our city I have learned OF a
proposed meeting to be held at the
I chamber Of commerce by a body or
I grOcers, to consider the matter of tax
ing up proposed legislation favorable
10 the collecting OF bad accounts.
Every retail merchant in the state
OF Texas is very much interested in
this same object, and at the present
time a legislative committee Is being
maintained by the Retail Merchants
association OF Texas. The duty OF this
committee is 10 look after the inter
ests Of the retail merchants, at Aus
tin, and work for the laws favorable
to them. The Business Mems Protec-
tive association of FL PasO is affiliated
with the Retail Merchants association
OF Texas and contributes the amount
Of sl-25 a year for each member TO
this association, part Of which is
used for legislative purposes. Every
town Of any size in the state has an
association similar to the Business
Mems Protective association which is
affiliated with the Retail Merchants
association. and in many towns too
small for an organization. Individual
firms pay monthly and yearly dues TO
the state organization.
law must be made by the voters
of the state, and much more can be &C
complished by a body representing all
the retailers, than by one representing
a single line It seems TO me a waste
Of time, energy and money for a few
merchants to attempt separate action.
The Business Mems Protective assO-
citation will hold its annual meeting
at the chamber OF commerce Monday
evening, Oct. II, at S o'clock, and At
this meeting there will be an open
discussion on needed legislation for
the collection Of accounts Every bus

As alunite is known to exist in LARGE

country of an adequate supply of pot

Statistics show that imports of potas-

which figures are available.
