OPTIMISM PREVAILS
I'm new MINING CAMP

DR.. j. F. Reynolds, of Panama
City, was in Monte Vista Tuesday
on business. He is very much in
terested in the new mining camp,
where he and his friends have 25
claims that show good ore. The
camp of Panama City is located near
the old Worral ranch on the Alamosa
river, and surface shcwings some
months ago created quite furore
in local mining circles.
DR.. Reynolds has had four miners
at work the past two months and ex-
poets to employ twenty more miners
next week.
These properties are such that the
two tunnels being driven will de-
velop the twenty-five prospects. Suf-
hcient development work has been
done to disclose ore bodies justffyfng
the erection of a mill and 1t Is the
intention to have the mill installed
during the summer Backing the
camp is plenty of capital to carry on
mining on a large scale and on an
economic basis.

j. l.. HURT TOPS
KANSAS CITY MARKET
WITH 800 YEARLINGS

j. L Hurt, Of this place, topped the
Kansas City market last week with
a shipment of 500 head of yearlings,
at $500 and 1925.
These yearlings were Herefords
raised by Mr.. Hurt on his ranch In
New Mexico and put on full feed
in Kansas for six months. They
averaged from 100 to $50 pounds
per head and brought the highest
price of any stuff of that class sold

Mr. Hurt is firm believer in rails

from this shipment proves that it

stockholders of the La Garita tele-
phone company, farmers and mer-

OF entrance into this town of the in
dependent company. The various

ana this presupposes a switchboard
and pole lines. The two-phone pro-
position was hammered again and a
sort OF compromise was suggested in
the plan OF letting the independents
retain ownership of their lines but
mat they connect with the Mountain
States lines. Some thought that an
agreement could be made with the
Bell people by which the lines of the
two companies could be used CO.

AMERICAN SHIPBUILDINC.

One of the biggest eastern shpbuilders says:
Private capital is entirely able and willing to
finance legitimate shipbuilding requirements and
the American merchant marine is being increased
American shipbuildng facilities will permit. For
eign shpyards practically all engaged in their
capacity of meeting the naval requirements of var-
warning nations that commercial vessels
can not today be obtained except in the United
States"
That is interesting, but more interesting still is
the fact that canvas of of the largest sea-
board shipyards shows that they have in construc-
ton vessels with an aggregate tonnage of nearly two
hundred and seventy thousand tons, not great to
be sure, as the worlds shipping is reckoned but
it is three times the aggregate tonnage var ago.
Nearly all of these ships for American own
ers and will fly the American flag and many of them
will be used in the coast-tocoast trade by way of
the Panama canal.
Besides this, Washington reports indicate that
by the last of the month there will be under con-
struction at seaboard and Great Lakes shipyards
ships with an aggregate tonnage of about four
hundred thousand TONS against a hundred and
forty-three thousand tons year ago Under the
new ship registry law more than half million tons
came under American registry, most of the ships
however, being owned by Americans which means
that American shipping comes into its in large
measure.
The future looks bright enough to prompt a
four-mon investment for big shipyard at Mo-
bile, Ala, which should in time supply pretty good
portion of the demand for shipping from the south
to the southwark in which direction there is going
to be more shipping than has ever before been
known owing to the closer relations that are to <;st
between the United States and the South American
republics the result of shipping being so much
cut off between South America and Eu .op. because

This IS SHEEPMAN'S YEAR

This is distinctly sheepman's year,
and the money that will come into
Colorado and the other inter-moun-
tain states for wool will mean much
to their general prosperity as well as
to the men engaged in this industry
The price of wool is up to new
record, with market of aggressive
strength which may carry prices con-
siderably higher. The average price
for the clip now going to market is
rs cents per pound as against ~
last year. The output in the inter
mountain states will be about the
same as last year, hut it is expected
that the proceeds will be fully %
per cent higher. That is total OF
not less than s16,000,000 in ter
ritory of which Denver is the CEN
ter and of which the San Luis val
ley is a decidedly large factor. The
estimates that follow, as covered by
states in this territory, is based on
last years OUTPUT and this wears
prices and are obtained from a re-
liable source.

PEACE SPECULATIONS.

The latest movements in favor of peace are by
the great Socialist army of Germany who have al
ways favored peace with all the world. When
declared the Socialists rallied in support of the
fatherand. Now that events have proven that Ger
many need not fear the advent of any army that
be brought against her, the common people favor
peace; they not fighting for conquest of terri
tory nor expansion of commerce.
Another favorable movement is that organized
b: the international Congress of Women recently
neld at The Hague.
The spectacle of two millions of men arrayed
against other millions, with modern implements of
war, is enough to wiring the hearts of the worlds
millions of non-combatant and and to
cause them to ask why should this war of exter-
minatlon and destruction longer continue
1t is an old saying that when once gets
the presidential bee buzzing in his bonet it
leaves him. William j. Bryan may not be an excep-
ton. He now remembers that resolution in favor
of single term at one time adopted.

POOR LOOKING
FOR PEACE DOVE.

WHILE the celebrated Ark of
Peace Is en- route 10 Europe to lure
the men out of the trenches, the peace
dove. flying forth to see whether the
war deluge is subsiding, has brought
back these bits of news instead of an
olive leaf:
The allies have renewed their
pledge not TO mate II separate peace.
and their military leaders have met In
Il council to plan the more vigorous
and concerted prosecution of the war.
A socialist member of the French
government has declared that France
will make no peace without the cession
of Alsace-Lorraine.
The Italian parliament has upheld
the Italian war government by a vote
OF 405 TO 4S.
German Field Marshall Won linden
burg has admitted hat the allies are
unwilling to talk peace. and hat peace
is still far off.
General Jaffre, the French field mar
shall. has declared that there may be
no peace for two years yet.
Russia has called to the colors boys
in the military class of 1917.
Peace meetings in England have
been broken up by violence, with the
tacit approval OF the government.
Evidently it's going to be mighty
poor picking for that dove for some
time yet.
