Hay BrinRs High Price

The shortage Of the hay crop in
this %.icinity the past season his for
ced the price of hay to 5000 and
upwards per ton, and with the pos
sibility Of it even going higher in
the near future. Practically all the
hay, both native and alfalfaI has
been hauled to market and d:spos-
ed of at a high price, leaving none
for future delivery locally. The sit
uation is acute at this time and por-
tends to become critical before the
winter months come to a close, eS-
pecially should severe cold weather
accompany the snow from now on.
It is he'ievcu that hay will be -!
ing for more than 5000 per ton be-
fore next crop is available.-Cimar-

The Socorro NJ. & M. Co.'S prod
uct for the first half of November
was IL bars Of gold-bull on. The
Mogol,on Mines Cos cleanup for the
same period yielded 800 ID. of bull
ion and "a tons of high-grade con-
centrate, from 1000 tons of ore. The
new %0-ft. shaft has been timbered
/OO IT., and is said to be the best
work done here. Timbering will be
extended to the bottom as rapidly
as possible.
The Oaks Co. is making another
shipment of ore to custom mill.
At the Pacific mine, the ore-bins
are being filled and aerial tramway
TO the Socorro mill will. be started
this week, and regular daily ship
ments maintained. A test II of
the tram was entirely satisfactory.
The road through Mogol'on is be-
ing Macadamized and repaired to &C
commodate heavy traffic without in
convenience in winter.
d. F. Bearup, owner and operator
of the Eureka mine in which a rich
discovery was recently made, is
securing the place for burros to pack
an accumulation Of milling ore to
the local custom works. The richer
ore is being sacked for shipment to
smelter.
Timbering of the new shaft be-
low the SCOTT, level in the Last
Chance mine is progressing rapidly,
the work being conducted from two
different points. The shaft is $50
#. deep. Development will be push
ed from both the 300 and SCOTT.
'evels as soon as timbering will per-
mt. The MogolIon Mines Co., is
operating the property.
The Socorro M. & M. Co., has in
stalled an automatic scale at the mill
terminal of the aerial wire-rope
tramway from the Pacific mine for
weighing all ore received from the
property. A be.t-conveyor is
being erected to handle this ore be-
tween receiving bins and crusher.
The Oaks company is breaking
ground in ITS main drainage and
transportation tunnel on Mineral
which will eventually open the
main vein systems Of the district at
various depths up to 1900 #. A road
to the tunnel-site has been over
hauled to facilitate traffic to that
point.
At the Eberle mine, drifts are be-
ing advanced both north and south
from the Soft. level in an explora-
tory shaft, which is equipped with
a Fairbanks-Morse l5-hp. gasoline
hoist and compressor plant.
Present development on the Cliff
ton mine consists of driving the
south drift From the adit-level and
raising on No. ] orebody.
Renewed activity is reported from
the old Black Hawk silver district
of Grant county. Under f. d. Lid
stone the Black Hawk mine is being
unwatered and re-timbered to $50 #.
Work is also under way at the Ex-
tension, Black Jack, and Rose mines.

Cattle Shipments

Ed. O'Neil. George Gillespie, I'd
ward and David Gillespie and Jake
Taylor, of EAST of Springer, shipped
several carloads of cattle to the Kan
sas City Markets last week. The
shippers were held up here several
days on account of the shortage OF
cars and when they did obtain roll
ing stock they were held back on
account of the quarantine of the
Kansas City yards which was brought
about by supposed cases Of foot and
mouth disease. But nevertheless, the
men reached the market and re-
ceived a good price for their stock:
The quarantine has been lifted and
shipments are going forward daily.

Barley Corn Gets Him.

John Barley Corn Gets Him.
Walter Boyd, an elderly man, par
doned from the state penitentiary on
November q on condition that he
abstain from strong drink, broke the
condition last night. He got fight
ing drunk, tried to clean out a sa-
loon on First street and swore at
everybody in sight. When he was
placed under arrest it took two
policemen to get him 10 the station
house.
When the policeman read the dis
charge paper found in his pocket
they had no trouble understanding
why Boyd's release was made con-
dit:onal on his steering clear of John
Barley corn. e..
Boyd was given a 20-day sentence
in the city court this morning, and
the case will be reported to the pen
itentiary authorities.
Boyd was sentenced to state prison
in Eddy county last April for lar
ceny. He was given from nine
months to a year. He was pardoned
on account of his physical condi-
tion.

New Road Promised.

George King, m Of the CoHax
corntv members Of the road board.
was in town the first of the week
and said he had secured the promis.
of six miles OF the state highway
for the Maxwell district. The road
will be graded and surfaced with
gravel or shale so it will be as good
in wet weather as it is in dry.
The new road viii be built through
the Crow Creek flats, starting this
side of the Red River ditch and COM
ing almost to town. The road at pre-
sent is about as bad a bit of driving
as one could imagine and the an
nouncement that a real road will be
made through the flats will be hail
ed with Joy by all who have occas-
sion to drive north of town.

Spruce tree, not over twenty feet
