Hachita Trooper Gets 80 Years.

James Williamson the negro trooper
OF the Ninth cavalry charged with
having shot and killed a fellow negro
trooper at Hachlta last fall and who
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree was given 80 to 80 years in the
District Court a. Silver City last
week. Williamson appeared before
the court and made quite a lenlthy
explanation of his part i'm the crime.
He spoke In straightforward man
ner and showed a cut in the sleeve of
his army coat that had been made by
a razor in the hands of his alleged as
sailant. He also showed a character
letter from his commanding officer
Major Cook. The letter stated that
Williamson was a coward and using
this as a basis Attorney Percy Wilson
called the attention of the court TO
the we'll known Theory in criminology
that moral towards under the stress
OF extreme fear and terror, such as
Williamson claims he was at the
time of the killing, develops a tiend-
ish courage and commit atrocious
acts for which they should be held
responsible only in the degree in
which they have inStigated the cir
cnmstances leading up TO the crime
The court In sentencing Williamson
said that II any new facts developed
in the case which had tendency to
prove his story true, the court would
be glad TO investigate.

LOrdsburg Coming to the Front

The estimated production of gold,
silver and copper ores from the Lords
burg camp this year will undoubtly
exceed one-hundred thousand tons.
Taking his in comparison with the
shipments of 1904 which where $50
tons, show the vast strides this camp
has made in the last ten years, and
with the present development going
ahead, with the present high values
IN It's ores, the camp stands TO be the
largest money maker in New Mexico
The foreign demand for copper is
rapidly increasing Exports so far
for the month of March have been at
the rate OF 65.000,000 to 70,00O,0 900
pounds: but in spite of this
the foreign visible supply is continu-
ing TO decrease, therefore causing a
still greater demand for copper

critics lying south of town will do its

A Boon To Desert Land Enhymen.

During the last hours OF congress a
bill was passed that comes as welcom-
ed news TO desert land entrymen, and
partially dispells the old saying that
the governments bets you 800 acres
against every cent you have that you
can { do anything with the land. The
bill gives entrymen three TO five years
additional time in which o make
final proof on heir claims or purchase
them, or to crnveTG desert claims TO
homestead claims II they cannot get
water. 1t was signed by the pres
ident on March 4th and affects all
persons who made desert entries be-
fore July list, 1914
The Land Ofiice has not yet receiv-
ed instructions i'm regard TO the bill
but as soon as 1t goes into effect such
announcement will be made in the
Lib raj
The bill allows to the desert entry
man three forms of relief. If he has
failed within the time allowed him
under the desert land entry act TO be
able to make final proof OF reclaim
alton and irrigation and cultivation
upon showing OF diligence and re.
quirement with the provision of the
act, he may be granted an extension
OF three years.
IL II then shall appear that he has
s Ill failed and has expended as much
as SO per acre In an attempt TO re-
claim his land he may be permitted to
homestead the land. There is still,
then, another thing he may do. lie
may pay tifJy cents an acre, make
proof that he has perfected perma.
nent improvements of the value OF
Sl.25 an acre and subsequently pay
the government 70 cents an acre.

MINES and MINING.
PROMINENT ENGINEER VISITS
ATWOOD MINE

On Friday and Saturday Of last
week the Atwood Mine was examined
by John NJ. Sully Of Santa Rita. N.
NJ, general manager Of the Chino
Copper Company and one Of the high
est qualified mining engineers in the
Southwest, In company with w. ID.
Murray, president Of the Silver City
National Bank. The gentlemen ar.
rived here Friday morning and to-
gether with j. l.. Wells, the engineer
OF the Atwood Copper Company went
out to t' q mine and took mental in
ventory OF the surface and under
ground works with a probable object
OF taking over the mine II suitable
terms can be arranged with the own
ers and the property meets with
their approval. There was no. hing
definite given out as a result of their
visit W. F. Ritter and County En-
gineer +. L. Cox we're In the coterie
visiting the Atwood.
It is understood that several indi-
viduals have the purchase Of the At
wood mine In consideration. Its
favorable location in tue Shakespeare
district together with the successful
ness OF the adjoining mine THE S5)
has brought the Atwood into the min
iuk lllubtlklb anu ~ SuOulut UblOIb
long. be brought back to its former
activity. The Atwood is located on
the prominent ore bearing dyke that
traverses the district and mas the best
surface indications of any mine I'm the
region. In the upper workings the
ore is lean but the values increase
with depth. The main shaft is 3lS
feet deep with four levels. The prin-
cipal lateral work was done on the
2l0 foot level. Several small prospect
shafts and open cuts disclose ore in
place on the property, The ore oc-
currs as hs>ure filling and has an
average width of about nine feet with
values Of approximately $500 per ton.
In some places the values go as high
as $50 per ION. The mine is equipped
with a good surface plant and with
proper development work 1t should be
brought to where 1t would be a pay
ing proposition.
After visiting the Atwood mine
Saturday, Messrs. Murray and Sully
went over to the 85 Mine power house
TO view the big Diesel engine.
How we'll pleased they we're with
the local mining district and its pos
sibilities is not known but the fact
that they are interested in the sec
tion gives evidence of attracted at
tention to the Lordsburg district

Election Monday

There will he an election Monday
at the school house for one school di
rector to serve three years. The only
announced candidate is S M. Chase
who has very ably held the position
for the past three years, and was urR-
ed TO run again. 1t is generally hoped
that politics will be kept out Of the
election. The chosing OF a school di-
rector is not a political issue and in
selecting a man for the position It is
qualifications alone that should count.
To mix politics into matter OF educa
tiOn Is the lowest form OF political
greediness. In the past LOrdsburg
has been misfOrtunate enough TO be
come entanRled Ia such a low-brow
election hut the outlook for the elec.
tion OF Monday seems to eliminate
petty political feelings.

little easier figures. There was o
