topped the market with two car
loads Of lambs, which sold for
$1,000. This is said to be not only

Kansas City for shorn lambs.
Mr.. Wheaton left here on the

the winter. TWO carloads had been
sold previous to the two cars men
toned above and received the high
est price up to that time. Anoth-

Union County Will
Rank High as Mining
District, Says Jones

Clayton, N. M, May 2S.-That I'M
ion county will some day rank high
in the ranks OF mineral producers;
that it viii, in fact, be more noted
for its mineral output than for its
agricultural and stock production, is
the opinion of Prof. Fayette A. Jones,
president Of the New Mexico School
Of Mines, who Iectured here on the
mineral resources of the state.
"The formation here is suitable for
oil" stated the lecturer, "and while

Of placer ground, OF gold bearing

from the edge Of the platform and
swing on hinges to a depth Of about
two and one-half feet. They drop
down from the end like the Jaws OF

win be hanged at one time, and as
they stand waiting for the drop, they
will be within arms reach Of one an
other.
A strong rope is tied to the corner

hurting them into eternity.
The law provides that the execu-
lions must be witnessed by twenty
citizens who are selected by the
sheriff and whose names must be sub
mitted to and approved by the district
judge. The list will include doctors,
representatives Of the
