 If any concerted move is made to pass law prohi- biting the sale of stock by mining companies that have in sight the mining districts must get together and fight to the limit.

SHORTAGE OF COAL IN TOMBSTONE

Efforts to purchase coal in larg- CT quantities than half ton in Tombstone were futile today, ow ing to the scarcity of the fuel. and the inability of the various io"al dealers to secure more. on account of the shortage of cars to haul il from the mines in New Mexico. Up to the present Tombstone had not experienced a shortage in coal, while other towns in the county had been complaining of shortage. This was on account of the local dealers having secured sufficient during the summer and storing it for winter sales. However, the demand has been so great that to- day il developed that a shortage was imminent and the dealers de cided to cut each order to the smallest amount possible While no danger is felt of famine. il would be a good idea for house wives to conserve their present supply as much as possible to tide over the scarcity until the dealers can secure more.
