Drive Lower Tunnels.

Drive Lower IunnelS.
Although there is much ore of ship
ping grade and a vast quantity of mill
ing ore above the present tunnel, work
was started this week to open up the
ground at greater depth. crosscut
has been started that will cut the vein
$50 feet below the present tunnel. The
crosscut will reach the vein at point
under the portal of the tunnel where
there is fine showing of ore, and 1t
is expected to accomplish this dis
tance in about go days.
There is q little lake nesting among
the cliffs just below the st. Lawrence
workings, and preparations are being
made to start third tunnel just
above it and about 700 feet below the
upper tunnel.
Ladlaw VS.. Lancaster.
Shortly after taking the lease and
bond on the ST Lawrence Mr.. Ian
caster rebonded the property to the
Laidlaw, Incorporated, of Spokane
Mr.. Lancaster remaining in charge of
operations. Laidlaw failing to comply
with the terms of the bond, Mr.. Ian
caster continued in possession of the
property under the terms of his bond,
which provided for payment on the
first of September. A few months
ago Laidlaw, Incorporated, started an
action in the Spokane court asking for
an order restraining Lancaster from
operating the mine and for the ap-
pointment of a receiver to take charge
of it, A few weeks later a similar ac-
tion was started in the district court
OF Mineral coul.tv. Upon hearing the
Spokane case wa. thrown out of court.
The case in Mineral county is still
pending. 1t has subsequently been
learned that parties, supposed to rep
resent the Richmond company, had
secured an option on the Finch &
Campbell interest in the event that
Sutherland failed to take up his op-
tion on October !. THIS comedies
with the belief that prevailed at the
time the Laidlaw case was started
namely, that 1t was in the interest OF
the Richmond company and that II
was undertaken upon the theory that
lie Lancaster was stopped from ship
ping ore from the st. Lawrence he
would be unable to meet his payment
on September / and in consequence
Sutherland would fail to take up the
bond on October /, and thus the Finch
& Campbell interest would fall into
the hands of the Richmond company
under the option conditioned upon
Sutherland's failure.

it impossible to keep the old road

He constructed a good road last

It simply isn't to be had" Removing a wheat straw from her teeth and cluster of mud from her hair, after wiping her hands on her overalls she continued: "As far as help is concerned, you have to depend upon what happens along. Last week young fellow bumped into my place and I put him to work in the po- tatoes. So far as work is con- cerned he is one of the most peculiar individuals I ever met. As long as I was around he wouldn't work a bit, but the moment I left he did fairly we'll. He claimed that he work ed in Flagstaff garage, and I want to tell his employers this, if'they want him to work, they had better keep away from him. Oh, yes, about my pota- toes! They are doing fine. The bugs were little troublesome at first, but Esther Carlson my partner in the ranch read an advertisement in a farm jour- nal about a patent potato bug exterminator, and we sent and purchased one. It is quite sim pie and consists of only two blocks of highly polished wood, one of the blocks is markedly" and the other "B". According to the printed directions you place the bug upon block "A", then place block "B" on top of block "A" and press firmly down. The result is satisfac- tory in every respect except to the bug. How's the draft get ting along? Do you think they will reach the hundred and sev- enties this year,"
 H. D. Boulin :''I have twenty six acres of very fine oats that are about ready to be cut, three acres of millet and an acre of potatoes. Millet grows fine here and next year I am going to plant a large acreage. Ev- erybody's crops that I have seen look fine. This is going to be banner year."
 Miss Bertha Peet, music tea cher in the Williams public school: My crop of potatoes over on the Scott place is doing fine. The potato-bugs were bad for a little while, but dis covered a way to exterminate them quite by accident. It is much more humane way than Edna Buggeln's and Esther Carlson's patent exterminator,
 and I will tell you about it. l

Thomas J. Imler, paint brush artist, is engaged in painting a number of very attractive wall posters advertising Lily Milk, in and about Williams. Togeth- CT with his wife and two child ren, he is camping on the pub lie camp grounds just west of town, while performing the work.
 The west wall of H. D. Bou- lin's blacksmith shop, and the west wall of Kariakou's store, are among those that will be used for this purpose. In ad- dition to the wall posters in town, three large bill boards will be erected and artistically decorated on the three main roads leading into Williams.
 MT. Imler's home is in Phoe- nix, but he is now out on an ex- tended tour for the company and will be away from his home for number of months. During the next few weeks he expects to tour overland with his family, to Woodston, Kan sas, his old home. This hap pens to be the old home of MT. F. E. Wells, of the News, also, and the two men cherish many fond memories of the "Old Swimmin' Hole" that used to be the chief joy of their boy hood days.

(RY Leased Wire to New Me

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
! New York, Oct. ia letter from
Brigadier General Charles A. Doyen,
who commands the American marines
in France, emphasizing the import
ance of trench digging In modern war.
fare was made public here today at
the marine recruiting station, where
lieut.. Daniel M. Gardner Junior, is in
barge. General Doyen. in his com.
munication to Lieut.. Gardner asserted
American marines do not take kindly
o digging.
IF you value your life, you must
ig," he writes. 1T is a lesson which
very man must learn and remember
That the marines in France are not
inclined toward digging General
oyen writes, perhaps reflects on the
attitude of the average man who looks
upon trench work as a form of hard
abor requiring little or no ability.
The communication continues:
you cannot emphasize too strongly
pom minds of the men who will fol-
ow us from time to time to dig we'll
s to fight we'll. In this war digging
constitutes more than 80 per cent OF
the work to be performed. For each
three days Of fighting during a month
the soldier must spend q days dig
ging.
After an advance has been made
your very life depends upon your
to dig down and get under
cover quickly. You may have been
working all day carrying ammunition,
water or supplies. The continual and
terrific roar of the big guns has made
1t impossible for you to sleep during
the night.
"Just before the break of dawn you
participate in the offensive which re-
quires all possible effort on your part.
You are successful and gain a good
position. Although you are tired be-
yond words, it is then nat you must
dig, dig and dig some more.
I'VE have an expression in the ma
rine corps hold what you've got In
This way, in order to hold what you've
got. you must dig for it. II you want
10 retain the position for which you
have fought hard and long, and for
which many of your comrades have
given their lives you must dig. If you
want to do your share toward bring
ing the line to and beyond the Rhine,
you must dig. If you alu your life
you must dig. 1t is a lesson every
marine must learn and remember"

Washington, Oct. 17.-Fed-

field today warned coal oper-
ators and miners where strikes
have occurred or are impend-

take charge Of coal production
if it continued to be threatened
by strikes.
Afer a conference with John

strikes called or impending in
Illinois, Ohio and Indiana, Mr..
Garfield sent a telegram to OPP
orators and miners alike giving
notice that the government
would deal most d~rastically
with strikes intended to force a
decision or a revision OF gov
eminent prices to meet wage
increases.
The fuel administrators telegram
follows:
American citizens engaged in the
Of coal, whether operators or
miners are for the most part mindful
the fact that our country is at war
and that the burden rests upon them
to produce the coal needed without in
but there are evidently
some who fail to understand the
of the situation and who do
not hesitate to advocate strikes at the
present time as a means of forcing the
government to at once decide whether
the wage increase, agreed to at the
meeting recently held at washington
by the operators and miners Of the
entral district, should Justly be cover
d by an advance in the prices fixed
by the president.
"The matter has been submitted to
me and all concerned r expected

and close attention to the question
and hope to reach a decision at an
date. The only circumstances
within my control which will delay
that decision will be the violation OF

line be allowed to diminish"
