PROSPECTORS LOCATE
BIG vein OF COPPER

+. NJ. Christian, who has been pros
pecting for ore in the vicinity of Bull
Canyon for number Of years, was
rewarded few days ago with sue
cessful location of vein Of copper
that is large and easy of access which
will test better than l6 per cent or
as good as the best in the state of New
Mexico. Mr., Christian was assisting
in the Pintado district where Geo.
Murray mining engineer Of sixteen
years experience, was working and he
secured his services last Sunday, two
weeks ago TO assist in locating the
main deposit of copper from which
it was evident particles in the bottom
of the canyon had washed away from.
Murray accompanied Christian TO the
camp at Conant spring where he pro-
ceeded to view the surrounding cliffs
and trace the formations from the
bottom Of the canyon to 800 feet up
the cliff and while killing a big rat
tie snake Murray glanced up the cliff
and to his amaZement vein of copper
was exposed which il is said two men
with picks could have mined two or
three tons Of the substance within five
hours. AT the price of copper today
the gross ton IA mined from Bull
Canyon would be worth STA.
They say the vein is about four
feet thick, with tale under the copper
which contains about two per cent
copper and 1851 per cent gold. The
mine has been named Legal Tender
and half mile from this is deposit
of lead where some of the old-timers
say they made bullets with which to
fight the Indians. The article taken
from this location is nearly pure soft
lead and melts with fifteen minutes
so that it can be shipped in bars. In
dications are that this vein of lead is
strong and in paying quantities.
The new mines will be 10 miles
from Montoya. about three miles west
Of the road to Ina in what everybody
in Quay county knows as Bull Can
yon.
Meas-s. Murray and Christian were
in Tucumcari this weel, organizing n
stock company. They left Wednesday
for Fort Sumner where they are on
the same mission. They are not out
to graft the public, but give every
man a chance to go and see for him
self what they have found as it will
bear inspection. All they need now is
the capital to buy the necessary ma
chinery to mine the product. There
are potash deposits in the canyon suf-
fcient to pay the railroad company to
build stub road out there from Mon
toya and Mr.. Christian was working
mainly upon that phase of the game
when Mr., Murray was given the trail
and located the rich copper deposit.
This means much for that locality
and Quay county providing the vein
extends back in the cliff as Mr.. Muir
ray believes it does. Copper mining
is one of the most profitable indus
tries of New Mexico and these gen
tlemen are TO be complimented upon
their extremely good luck.

SOCIALISTS FIRST ENCAMPMENT

The socialists of Curry local work.
ed up the first socialist encampment
ever held in New Mexico. The en-
campment was held August 3, 4, and
5, at the Geneva Basin where there
was plenty of good pure water and
shade for many more people than at
tended The number attending was
estimated at 1900 on Friday.
Comrade ". G. Therp of Curry
county, was there rhur sdav and Fri
day and made three stirring speeches.
Comrade Tharp is the first socialist
member of the New Mexico State leg
islature. His party has nominated
him for reelection. We feel that the
cause of socialism emancipation
of labor--has in him u true friend and
an able advocate.
Comrade Frost, the nominee for
superintendent of education in one Of
the counties of Oklahoma, spoke on
Thursday night. Several enthusiastic
comrades of Quay county spoke dur
ing the encampment These speeches
made us realize the ustness of n CO.
operative commonwealth, but the cli-
max was reaches when Comrade Cobb
of Oklahoma City, came in Friday
afternoon.
Mr.. Cobb made three stirring ad-
dresses closing with the subject: THE
Evolution of Society" He took up
each step society had made to reach
the present and showed that social
ism is society's next step and that it
is soon TO come to us and no force Is
strong enough to prevent It.
The local comrades were so we'll
pleased that they announced we would
have another encampment next Aug.
3rd, 4th and 9Th, at the same place
or as near it as possible.
Quite u number from Tucumcari
were in attendance.

Him of Decision

LONDON, June 22.-,pn Wednesday Alex
ander zalmis called upyh the French Minis
ter to Greece and announced that all of the
demands of the Allies had been accepted.
says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Athens today. These included demobilza-
tion of the army, formation of a Cabinet
having an attitude of benevolent neutrality
toward the Allies, and the dismissal of
police agents under foreign influence to be
replaced by agents nominated by the
Entente Powers.
The telegram indicated that NJ. Zaimls
had accepted the post of Prime Minister,

Recent dispatches from Athens said that
the Skouloudis Cabinet had resigned and
that Alexander Zaimis, former Premier of
Greece, had been called by the King to
the palace. presumably to be offered the
Premiership. The resignation of NJ. Skou-
loudis had been brought about, it was said
by the Allies blockade of Greek ports fol-
