KID LOUIS AND
OTHERS IN ACCIDENT

Lordsburg was startled last
week when word was received
here of an automobile accident
near Clifton. The Copper Era
has the following to say of the
occurance:
Another automobile accident
was added tothe already long list
to take place in the vicinity of
Clifton, fortunately all the occu-
pants of the car escaping death
miraculously and surviving with
numerous bruises and broken
bones.
The accident happened shortly
after dark on Monday evening
on the Metcalf road near Long
fellow. The car was owned by
Chino Gallo of Clifton and was
being driven by Kid Louis, the
four passengers in the machine
being Morris Manheimer, and
Gerardo Gorilla Of Metcalf and
Manuel Lamas and Jose Maria
Ponce of Clifton. The exact
manner in which the accident
happened is not known, but it is
surmised that the driver lost
control of the car and it together
with it's load of passengers
plunged straight down the can
yon a distance of between rs and
80 feet.

MINES AND MINING
WILL SINK SHAFT AT oCTo

The Wright brothers of Bisbee,
Ariz., have been awarded a con-
tract by the Octo Mining g. Mill
ing company for the sinking of
500 foot shaft at the Octo Mine at
Lees Peak. They will begin act
i've work in about ten days and
will give employment to twenty
five or thirty men. Much new
equipment has been ordered for
the work and all expedience will be
made in getting the shaft down to
the 500 foot level.
The Octo mine is under the man
agement of William Davis, who
purchased the property some years
ago, forming the Octo Mining g.
Milling Company.
In 1891 the prominent silicious
outcropping four and half miles
southwest of Lordsburg, was To-
Gated by prospector named APP
plegate. This man put down a 40
foot shaft in the center of his pro-
perty and kept up the assessment
work for six years, later disap-
pearing to parts unknown. The
next owners became Joe Raby and
j. N. Wines. In 1902 the present
owners bought the property and
added several claims by location.
Three deep shafts and several
shallow prospect holes have been
sunk by the Octo Company, all re-
vealing ore in place. There are
about eight veins traversing the
company's property, all Outcrop-
ping at the surface and all becom-
ing enriched with depth. On the
southwestern end of the property
there is a prominent blowout to-
ward which all veins seem to con-
verge, and it is at this point that
the future development work Of
the company will be done. At depth
it is doubtless but that the high
grade sulphide ores will be reach
ed. Wherever prospected, veins
up to 25 feet in width have been
cut and commercial ore blocked
out.
Five or six years ago a con-
tract was let for deep shaft, but
the contractor fell down, and
I abandoned the property, but now
the company is substantially fl
nanced and nothing will be left
/ undone to prove the worth of the
Lees Peak ground.
A three compartment shaft has
been started at the new site and is
timbered up with eight by eight
I timbers and a splendid head frame
forty feet high. There is an ex-
cellent shaft house at the mine
which was built this fall. The
j equipment consists of one 85 h. p
steam boiler and a new Sullivan
+ double stage compressor and 35
h. p. Witte hoist.
From all indications this pro
perty is destined to become one OF
the best in the local district. The
heavy naturalization and high val
ues are there and all that is need
ed is the work necessary to turn
out the ore.

POLITICAL DOPE

Owing to the absence of the
Liberals cartOonist this week a
correct representation for a head
ing to this discourse is absent.
However, in its place a word
cartoon is made up for the bene-
fit and inspiration of the artist
when he returns. 1t is:
A man in a circus costume
holding out a hoop through which
he bids the trained animals to
jump. In the picture they are
jumping through the hoop nicely
and the Man is we'll pleased.
The animals are labeled Lords
burg Democratic Voters and the
man with the hoop Mart Q.
Hardin. "
Thus we have the inspiring
work of art for this week
suggeste by Uncle Pete" Chase.

merry, was well oiled. The Demo-
cratic precinct primaries were a
bowling SuccesS---but most of the
bowling was done too late. 1t
was slick business with all the
cards exposed to view, this pri-
mary. and it happened like this:
Mart Hardin typewrote sixty
or more ballots containing the
names of seven delegates, who
were later, at the primary, nomi-
mated. These were distributed
to the Democratic voters at the
X. of p. Hall and the hat passed.
Into that hat were dropped Mr..
Hardin's ballots. Joe Olney and
j. S. Brown were nominated as
candidates for delegates but as
these were not on the original
Hardin ticket they were not
elected. The hat was passed a.
round the room several times and
then the counting began. When
lit ended the delegates chosen

A $56,OOO,0OO "RUN"
ON ACHAIMERS CAR

sRun"-is the word. It's like a run ON a bank.
Only it's a run on a cara Chalmers car. 1t seems
endless. The people want more.
And SO more must be built for them-2O 900 more.
You remember while ago that six hundred men took
one look at this and bought $22,OOO,OOO
worth in forty very brief minutes. They the
Chalmers Dealers.
Now they insist that of the same kind be built
more of the 34OO r. p. m. Chalmers.
So the Chalmers executives have put through fac
tory work order for 10000 more of them.
They built and delivered, in six months, $4,000.
That all they intended to build for an entire
year. That completed their part of the $22,OOO,OOO
affair.
We got them to build another 10000. We thought
that would be enough to last through the fall But
no. the 10000 were quickly taken up during the
summer months.
So they going to build 10000 more. That
means all told, $4,000 cars-os $56, ,OOO, 900 worth
of these remarkable 34OO r. p. m. Chalmers.
So you see why use the word "run.' The people
who know good cars-like Emerson's wise saying
about the man who makes better mouse trap, etc.,
will find beaten path to his door, though he
live in the woods-they create this ever-increasing
desire to own Chalmers.

them $1,000 Detroit, they very much taken back.
We get little of the 'price" trade Most of those
who come to us have passed that era in car buying.
They want quality. And they know pretty well
where to look for it. They look for it in the sound
of the engine, i'm the action of the clutch, in the
action of the steering apparatus. in the sound of
the differential.
They examine the radiator try the brakes, observe
the kind of glass in the windshield note the kind of
material in the top. and then poke around into the
corners of the body.
That much done, they get into the and try her
out. For they are smart enough to know that the
biggest result of quality is performance
That's what usually brings the sale. For perform
is the cars middle name. She's got amazing
acceleration-so lively and full of spunk.
And then she climbs hills SO quickly and hugs the
road SO well at rapid clip.
And, best of all, she handles SO easily. She's as
obedient any creature man ever made.
Once you try her you too, will understand the erun"
her. It's thing difficult to explain, but three
editions of a i'm years time is something to
ponder
We have it direct by telegraph that Chalmers will
continue to make these 34OO p. m 3 next season.
There's time limit set. AS these last 20 900

more.
