TO New York and half way back again
by way of the Panama canal With
the solid matter discharged through
the gates at this rate, there is brought
into the canal system during seven
years as much saturated material as
has been eXcavated from the Panama
canal This quantity Of silt is suffi-
cient to cover 1860 acres of land
one foot deep with mud.
Million Yearly Loss.
"The cost to the receiver for dredg-
ing during the year was $187,l75.7S
or about 1912 cents per cubic yard
for materials moved by his dredgers.
Add to this the cost to the mutual wa
ter companies, represented by the pro
portion of their yearly assessments
applied to cleaning canals, and the
total cost for the year is easily
brought to $50O000. This still does
not take into consideration the cost
to each individual water user during
the year for cleaning out his own
bitches nor does it consider loss in
crops experienced by the water users
due to the clogging Of local canals at
critical periods during the season.
Were the two latter costs considered,
the yearly expenditure in money in the
valley due to silt alone easily reaches
81 100000. With the system expand
ed to its full extent the expenditures
under present conditions will be in
creased proportionately
Up to Water Users.
"The question is asked by nine out
of every ten of the thinking men and
women, especially when they first
come to the valley:
"'What is to become of this vast
accumulation of silt in and along our
canals? Will the accumulation in
time be so great and the expense so
gigantic as to make it impracticable
to maintain our canals by the present
methods?
"The answer to the question lies en-
tirely with the water users. If we
continue to close our eyes and ignore
the Importance of this problem and
exert no effort toward improving the
present methods of disposing of silt
in the coming years we are certain to-
meet with disaster. On the other hand,
if we arouse ourselves and apply the
same degree of effort in improving
this condition that we do in overcom-
ing other great obstacles, we will be
sure of results"

ACTIVITY IN
IS CAMP
Company Buys Big Deisel Engine,
Sinking Below 45O Level

A purchase that evidnces pros
perity and mining activity in the
local district was made this week
when A. J. Interrieden, manager of
the company now in the east, or
dered for shipment another Lyons
Atlas Deisel engine, an exact du-
phcate of the one now installed in
the power plant.
The new engine will be 450 h. p.
and is to be installed in the power
house in the pit east of the Deisel
engine now operating. When the
new big engine is installed the 50
Mining Company will be ready for
any emergencies and will possibly
never again be forced to suspend
operations temporarily for engine
repairs. 1t will give the company
adequate power for extensive fut-
ure development at all parts of the
mine and bears witness to the fact
that the big camp to the south of
Lordsburg is there to stay.
The engine will be brought di-
rect to the power house door by
rail. Many of the people in this
section will remember the Obsta-
cles encountered when the first
unit was moved from the railroad
up to the power house. 1t was a
memorial event with monuments
in the form of broken wagons,
wheels and axles still blazing the
trail.
George w. Stephenson, represen-
tative of the Lyons-Atlas Deisel
Engine Company of indianapolis,
Ind, who has been here for some
time past in the interest of the first
unit of the mine, will have charge
of the installation of the new en-
gine. He recently installed one of
his company's engines in the cleo
trio light plant at Yuma, Arizona,
coming from there to this city. Mr.
Stephenson is one of the Lyons
Atlas best engineers, having been
put on some of their largest con-
signments.
j. H. Clark is master mechanic al
the 85 mine and will be the bus
lest man in camp when the new en-
gine arrives and Art Biersack will
run him a close second.

Local and Personal

Mr.. and Mrs. d. w. Briel and
son Robert returned Saturday
from the Pacific coast, where they
spent a months vacation, While
at one of the coast resorts Rob-
ert was knocked down by an auto
mobile and rushed to an emergency
hospital, where his bruises were
bandaged. His injuries were not
serious and the youngster is look
ing none the worse for his encoun-
ter. The Briefs many friends
were glad to welcome them home
this week.
Miss Elizabeth Reynolds left
Monday for her home in Illinois
after spending an extended vaca-
tion with her brother, Robert NJ.
Reynolds and wife here. During
her stay in Lordsburg Miss Rey-
nolds made a host of friends who
had trusted her residence here
would be permanent, and all re-
gret her leaving.

mother, leave Thursday for San
Francisco, Calf, where Sam will
undergo an operation for appendi-
citis at the Southern Pacific hos
pital, and when he is convalescent
make visit to several of the coast

friends trust that he will stand the
operation successfully and that
he will not become infatuated with
the coast so that he will not stay
away too long.

PUBLICITY FOR LORDSBURG

During the past week there has
been sent out from the Western
Liberal office, to newspapers
throughout the southwest, an
abundance of news items and
booster articles of Lordsburg's
progress. This is advertising that
could not be purchased at any
price and is doing the town much
good. AS a result of it several let
ters of inquiry have already been
received here.
Legitimate advertising such as
Lordsburg has received through
the Western Liberals work is go
ing to be an important factoc in
the future of this community. Arc
you doing your share in boosting
the town? Or are you in the class
with those who still sit back and

SELL NEVADA LEASE

Ev Harris and DR.. Spence sold
their lease on the Nevada claim
from the IS Mining Company, to
Walter Interrieden and C. Tread
way last week. The Nevada lease
has been one of the most profitable
at the 85 camp and has been devel-
oped into a paying proposition by
the recent operators. A large ton
mage of ore has been shipped from
the mine which has netted neat
income. It is understood that the
remuneration for the lease was in
the vicinity of $4,000.
Owing to the inability of the
smelters to take care of their ore
Messrs. Harris and Spence deemed
it advisable TO dispose of the lease
The new operators will continue
mining at the Nevada and will
doubtless make it one of the best
propositions in the camp.

Buy Martin Outfit, Including Ranches
And Range

The extensive cattle and ranch in
terests of Harry Martin in western
Grant county changed hands this
week. Messrs. Meims and Evans,
wealthy cattlemen of Valentine, Tex,
take over the Martin outfit, lock, stock
and barrel. The Martin interests are
among the largest in New Mexico and
the southwest and comprise many
thousand head of cattle and thousands
Of acres of ranches, range and leased
land. Mr.. Martin has but recently
added to his holdings by the acquisi-
tion of twenty-five thousand acres of
state land.
The deal involves many hundreds
of thousands of dollars and is one OF
the biggest cattle deals that has been
recorded in the state in many years.
Mr.. Martin, who founded the busi-
ness twenty-eight years ago, has
built up an unusually large and ably
managed industry advantageously To-
Gated and considered by experienced
cowmen one of the best in the west.
The location is considered favorable
owing to its isolation and comparative
freedom from conflicting interests and
the condition of the range itself, new
er having under Mr.. Martins manage
ment been over-stocked. 1t is also
unusually watered.
Mr.. Martin will take much de-
served vacation after twenty-eight
years of continuous service and may
spend part of the time in travel.

TO REORGANIZE

Men controlling the Carlisle
Mining Company were visitors at
the property of the Company at
Steeplerock this week for the pur-
pose of inspecting the progress
made at the mine. Among the Wis
itors was Sanford Makeever, of
New York City, president of the
company. He left the camp on
Wednesday morning for his home,
where a special meeting of the
Board of Directors is to be held
soon after his arrival there. At
the meeting steps are to be taken
towards making a general reor-
galiization of the company and
raising sufficient funds to contin-
ue the work begun last year.
The mine has been entirely un-
watered and the pumps are now
only required to handle rs gallons
of water minute. wkich is not suf-
ficient to even keep the test mill
supplied. More water will have to
be developed to supply the mill.

property, was in Duncan on Wed

ed of only necessary work to keep

CONSTABLE FIRED UPON IN
MAKING ARREST.

Lordsburg was aroused to a state
Of tense excitement Saturday night
when Constable Oscar Allen was
fired upon by a Mexican whom he
was arresting. It is estimated
that over a hundred armd citizens
rushed to the scene of action, north
of the Southern Pacific tracks,
within ten minutes after the first
shot was fired.
Saturday evening John Angus
tine reported to the officers that
his Chevrolet car was missing. A
search was made and revealed the
fact that two men were seen with
the car in the Mexican settlement.
The car was located and Constable
Allen hailed the driver who was
leaving the car and entering a
house in the rear of the Surprise
grocery. In answer to the officers
call the Mexican opened fire upon
him. Constable Allen retaliated
for the shots and the man, who was
later identified as Manuel Varela
rushed into the house. Guards
were left on.the scene and Consta.
