THE new
MINING DISTRICT

County surveyor Ralph A. Mar
BILE was in town yesterday and
gave us the following facts in re-
gard to the new mining district
being opened in the southwest
part of this county and tapping
over into Socorro county.
Mr.. Marble has surveyed 56
claims for C. O. Kiser, capital
list of Canyon City, Texas. More
than 100 claims have been filed.
Contracts have been let for the
assessment work on the Kiser
claims, and fifty men are now at
work on them.
Most of the claims so far To-
Gated are in this county, in
Townships A and 5, Range 5.
The ore is low grade all copper,
but better than the Santa Rita
ore, the surface groupings run
ming four to five per cent.
Of course this is a capitalists &
| proposition, as it will require
heavy investment before produc.
ton begins.
There is an immense body Of
the ore, and if developed, as now
seems certain, there will be a bis
industry continuing for Ions
years,
| James Walker of this place ha'
been over there, and may file.

Special Correspondence.
Last weeks items.
Well, no, we haven't blown
away nor gone somewhere, but
the weather, many household
duties, garden, chickens, COWS,
pigs, calves, etc., are the main
excuses for no more Silverton
news.
Silverton is still on the map, if
she is hard to find, but she is
getting mighty awful dry
Just now, and more than one eye
has a squint to it from looking at
the moon to see if it's a wet or
dry. However, the crop, what
the cut worms have left of it,
looks fairly well. The bean bug
is doing some damage.
R. F. Clark has fine field of
corn and also some nice oats.
Talking about the freaks of
the cut worms, we certainly had
some queer experience with
them. They did no damage to
our garden until my butter beans,
which l had planted with the
corn, came up, and in one nights
time they cut down five long
rows of beans on the south, leav'
ing the corn standing, and on the

THE CELEBRATION
IN ESTANC|A

The 4th of July celebration in
Estancia was fairly successful,
although it proved impossible to
carry out part of the program,
namely, the music and speaking.
Otherwise the program was car
ried out as advertised,
There was a large crowd, ev-
erybody was in a good humor
and all seemed to enjoy them
selves, although it was an ex-
tremely disagree able day, made
so by the wind and dust, To-
ward evening there was light
shower which mitigated the dust
nuisance.
The picnic dinner at the park
was jolly affair, and the editor
was lucky enough to be included
with some other lone men in an
invitation to dinner with the la
dies of the Philomathian Club
and their families. 1t is need
less to say that the invitation
was accepted with alacrity, and
that there was fearful decima-
tion among the eatables. The
dinner included everything to
be thought of, prepared with
such skill as to make it the more
appetizing.
The various groups under the
trees enjoying a plenteous din
ner and for the time forgetting
their troubles made a pleasing
sight.
All the sports events in which
contestants could be secured
were pulled off.
The winners were as follows;
Foot race, children under IL,
Ralph Stubblefield.
Foot race, boys over IL, Homer
Berkshire.
Girls under fifteen, no entries.
Potato race, Marshall Maxwell.
Three-legged race, Julius Mey-
er. Jr., Alb Ingle,
Pony race, Travis Dunn of
Mountainair.
Horse race, Gus Dunn of
Mountainair.
Free for all horse race, Gus
Dunn.
Broncho busting, Ray Burruss.
Slow Burro race, Floyd Kook-
en-.
Fast burro race, Milton Berk-
shire.
A ball game between a pick up
nine from the Silverton neighbor-
hood and one picked up around
town was started, but had to be
called at the end of the fourth
inning on account of rain. 1t
promised to be Jan interesting
game, and the fans were reluc-
tant to have it stopped.
A good crowd of those who
enjoy dancing assembled at the
hall in the evening and had an
enjoyable time until late hour.

cut down all the corn and left
the beans standing. This seems
to be all the damage done so farl

CONGRESS MUST
FINANCE GREAT
NATIONAL PLANS
for New Fiscal
Year Will Exceed That of
Old BY $265, 600, 900
ARMY AND NAVY INCREASE
MEANS BIG APPR0 OPERATION
Representative Kitchin Has
Promised He'll Frame Meas
ure to Make Up Sum
sy c. s. ALsERT

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov. 20.--An
aggregate of $1.400. 100000 is required
to maintain the government during
the coming fiscal year. The estimates
which will be submitted to Congress,
when it convenes December 6, call for
this enormous sum.
The great upset amount desired is
$265, ,0O0, 900 in excess or the estimates
of the previous fiscal year. The prun-
ing of the estimates for this year re-
suited in saving OF but $20.000,00o.
A large proporti1n OF the added
S265 ,0O0,0 is for increases in the
army and navy, toSmeet demands fer
better national preparedness.
Representative Kitchin, new chair
man of the. ways and means commit.
tee, has promised the president that
he will frame measures to bring in
the necessary additional revenues.
Just how this can be done without ex-
cessiye taxation must be figured oEt.
Here are some of the items which
must contribute toward making up
this vast sum:
/. To continue the import duty on
sugar, which, it is estimated, will
bring In about $40,000,000.
2. An internal tax on gasoline Of
two cents a gallon, which will pro-
vide s27,000.000.
g. An import duty of three cents
a pound on coffee, which will bring
In $4,000 900.
: 4. Al duty on wool. which will pro,
vide SIC. .OOO. 900.
5. An Import duty ON bananas. to
produce $3,500.0 000!s
s. An impcrt duty on lemons, to
produce $4,000 900.
z. An import duty on coal tar dyes,
to produce $1,000,000.
This would bring in $115,o00, 600.
To this sum would be added about
SIS, 900 900, which would come from
the present war tax, making a total
of $203, ,5O0,0 900.
This is a rough estimate of the
present tentative plan of one or more
members sof the ways and means
committee. In addition, the income
tax would be levied upon incomes OF
$4,000 or more and an inheritance tax
provided. There is considerable talk
of edding an internal revenue tax on
beer and other intoxicating liquors,
but it is understood that Mr.. kitchin
opposes such step.
It is argued by those in favor OF
the import duty on coffee that 3
cents a pound would cost Americans
27 cents year per capita, If they
had to pay the tax, but it is the desire
of the members of the committee
who would tax coffee to force, If pos
sible, the middleman to pay the tax.
The talk of leyying a tax on auto
mobiles has been renewed. and 1t IS
believed that the next revenue bill
will include motor cars.
A majority of the members of the
ways and means committee favor put
ting the additional taxes required for
the enlarged national defense plan on
those who are able to bear them. A
careful study is being made of the
manufacture of arms, ammunition and
other war supplies, with view to ex-
acting heavy tax on the producers.
The '.nagging" taxes, such as
stamps on bank checks and the like,
will be omitted.
