J. w. Ebert and c. w. Pratt Of Palis-

men. today bonded to H. J. Sisty, a
mining engineer, OF Colorado and New
York. representing himself and mil
lionaire hackers. six rich claims in the
famous Stafford district, where, before
silver depreciation, more than 100000
in silver alone was taken from the
Onondaga and Zenoli mines. The con.
sideration for the bond was $4,000.
The following transactions also were
completed here this morning:
r. F. Rain and j. w. Ebert bonded
the Onondaga mine, Stafford district,
to H. ]. Sisty and associates for $751;

Y. u. Marold, Frank Marold and J.

1t was stipulated that work on all of
these claims was to start by August /.
Mr.. Sisty has been in the Stafford

Ebert took him by auto all over the
district. The engineer examined and
tested everything, panned ores and es-
timated prospects. After completing
the above transactions this morning he
left for New York TO report personally
to his financial associates. He seemed
greatly elated over the bargains he
had found.
Mr.. Ebert and his associates also
seemed satisfied. We know there are
millions down there" said Mr.. Ebert,
but it requires large capital to handle
these mines and we aren't able Just
now to finance the work. We did the
next best thing. and. knowing our
property, we predict astonishing re-
suits.

ward, First Chief carranza today
ordered Ambassador Arredondo
to request the State Dearptment
to use the American military
forces to guard the border against
Villlsta raids.
Secretary Lansing said, after
his conference with Arredondo:
at Is evident that Villa again is
looming large as a factor in the
situation"
High officials Of the government
say that carranza's appeal for
help is a pathetic admission of
the weakness Of his recent attl-
tude. The request for aid would
never have been made, IL is gen.
orally said, except as last resort.
Secretary Lansing assured the
Ambassador that all necessary ar

that Carranza need feel no alarm
