Smelling Takes Over
Valuable Mines in
The Organ District

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 15.-The most
important mining deal this year in the
mining regions tributary to Ell Pas0

properties in the Organ mountain min
ing district, so miles north of this city,

company, through its representative, J..

is general manager of the mineral de-
partment of the southwest for the
last named company. The purchasers
paid $4,000 cash on the purchase
price, as earnest money and good faith,
which enables the Organ Mountain
Mining company to liqlidate all its
liabilities, to date, and as evidence of
their good faith. Major Mccullough
negotiated another big deal with the

which the Torpedo, Memphis and other
groups Of copper properties in the Or
gan district were sold to the Phelps
Dodge corporation. who have been de-
~veloping the same with a force OF men
ever since.

ny special Correspondent,

Costilla, N. M, Oct. 15.--Threc
teams, each consisting Of four big
mules, attached to a wagon upon
which was a load of 1900 feet OF
green timber, were coming down the
saw mill, when they reached a bend
in the road, where the road is little
wider than a wagon and Is cut out OF
the side of the mountain. On this mar
row ledge, DIR. l. N. Woodman was
also passing on his way to Pima to
respond to a hurry cah. Upon seeing
the teams he dismounted from the
wheel he was riding and stood to the
side of the road against the bank.
The first four mules passed him as
we'll educated mules should, but the
leader nearest him Of the next four
tried to pass by turning its body at
right angles with the road. The
driver, Abel Sanchez, did all he could
he keep his muleship in the narrow
path, but in vain, as said mule pushed
his mate off the embankment. That
threw the two mules to the tongue
off and with them went the wagon
and lumber. Sanchez jumped and
landed in the top OF some willow,
which broke his fall, and was not
hurt. The wagon turned v and
landed wrong side up, the four mules
landed on their feet and the bronco
leader was busy trying to kick the
tears off the two in its rear by the
time the other two drivers and the
doctor reached the wreck.
Theft Of Cattle
J. P. Gallegos, ThOs. Cage and Al
bert Sivyer, all of whom have a num-
Der Of cattle on the range between
here and virsylvia, have complained
that they have been unable to find
several head of their stock. Mr.. Gal
legos, who recently purchased a tract
four miles square for a cattle range,
received a telegram from the chief OF
OF Walsenburg, Colo, stating
that two men had been arrested there
who had with them a large bunch OF
of which they could not give
a satisfactory account and as the
bunch had been traced back to north
ern Taos county, it was thought that
these cattle may be some of the sew
eral lost from here. Mr.. Gallegos left
here by auto, for Walsenburg, but has
not been heard from since.
Native Citizen Hurt
Especio Trujillo, who, during his
younger days, was a bronco buster OF
more than local repuate, was
severely injured here today by being
from a bad horse. Trujillo,
not approaching the fact that he Is
now many times a grandfather and
not a young man, mounted the ami
NAL, which, after throwing him, jump
ed upon and tramp1ed him.
The doctor, upon arrival, found one
fractured rib, one eye closed, but no
loss of sight, back severely bruised,
wrist dislocated and several cuts
about the body.

animation. The amendment vas OF q
nature wholly unacceptable to the de-
partment OF the interior, and had nc
chance of final passage, and efforts
were directed to pe~rfecting an ac
ceptable and effective substitute
However. the food bill was finally
shorn of all amendments, and the spe'
cial session ended without legislation
relative to the classification of lands.
In the meantime, however, under the
sundry civil service act an appro-
priation enabling the department of
the interior to undertake the classifi-
cation work became available, and the
necessary machinery has now been
set in motiorl The result sought by
legislation is being secured without it.
Big Force to Enter Field
Congressman Walton is in receipt
of a letter from George Otis Smith,
director of the United States Geo
logical survey, who is in c~hargesof the
work of classifying the lands, an
nouncing that qualified classifiers and
assistant classifiers are being selected
under the civil service rules, and that
a big force will be soon placed in the
field in New Mexico.
To Drain Rio Grande
Another important announcement
made by Mr.. Walton today is that
Sic, 900 has been made available for
the work of draining the water-logged
lands of the lower Rio Grande valley.
The appropriation for drainage work,
amounting to more than 100000, was
held up pending compliance with the
regulations of the reclamation service
in the matter of the formation of irri-
cation districts, but realizing that the
need of the water users of the Rio
Grande valley was urgent, Congress
Walton, in the last days OF the
special session, succeeded in having
SIS, 900 of the appropriation released
fer their benefit. The action means
much to that section Of the state.
El Nuevo mexicano., 1917-10-18

That the classification and designa-
ton of New Mexico lands under the
stockraising homestead act will be
started about January ], is the import
ant and gratifying announcement
made here today by Congressman Will
liam B. Walton. ,sti A
Congressman Walton arrived here
last night from Washington, and will
leave tomorrow for his nome in Silver
City. He has been in Washington
continuously since the opening of the
special session of congress, and will
return there in December, for the
opening of the regular session.
Mo legislation for sthe' immediate
classification of lands under the pro-
visions of the stockraising homestead
act was passed at theJ special session
of congress, but agitation in connection
with the matter resulted in speeding
UP the machinery Of the department
of the interior, and as a result the
lands open to entry in New Mexico
will be designated early In the coming
year. 1t is believed that practically
all unreserved government land in
New Mexico is subject to homestead
ing under the provisions Of the act,
and that the work of classifying 1t
can be speedily accomplished.
There are between 5000 and 7000
stockraising homestead entries on file
at the U. S. land offices in New Mex
leo, and as soon as the lands are class
flied and formally designated, these
entries can be perfected. The work
means the settlement of several thou
sand additional families in the state.
Congressman Walton, and Senator
Jones were principally concerned IN
the agitation that speeded up arrange
ments for classifying the lands. They
had been working on the matter for
some time when Senator Fall intro
duced an amendment to tho food bill
providing for the immediate classifi-
cation of the lands without further ex.
