First National
On Honor Roll

The First National bank of Lords.
burg has become a Roll Of Honor bank
according to the announcement made
at the meeting of the board of direc-
tors held July 3.--This distinction is
accorded banking institution when the
surplus equals the capital This was
made possible by the action Of the
board of directors in increasing the
surplus account to $685. by carrying
S17,5OO to that account from the undi-
vided profits account.
The growth Of the First National
bank has been a faithful barometer of
the development of the LOrdsburg COM
munity from the inception of this re-
markable institution. Foresight for
the financial needs of the community
has marked the management Of the
bank and the increasing of the surplus
is only another instance Of this same
foresight, exercised for the benefit
of the community.
A careful reading of the statement
of the First National bank, which ap-
pears on another page of the Western
Liberal, will demonstrate how history
of the First Nationa bank has reflect

rounding territory. The bank opened
its doors to business October /, 1907,
taking in $4,000 the first day. Three
years later the deposits increased to
100000, and in 1918 to $125,000. In
1916 they reached a total of $325, 900.
While on the recent call, June 20, the
deposits increased to $417, 1882 The
total assets on the present statement
go we'll above the half million mark.
The growth of the First National
bank reflects we'll the efficiency and
the time of the banks organization.
J T. McCabe, John Robson, d. II
Kedsie, }. p Mansfield, w. H. Small
and Frank r. Coon were elected di-
rectors, all of whom are still serving
the bank with the exception of d. H.
Kedsie, former editor of the Wes-
tern Liberal. In the death of Mr.
Kedsie, the bank lost an efficient CO.
worker, but were fortunate in secur-
ing the services of II. J. McGrath in
his stead In 1916, Mr. p Jochem was
added to the board, making seven
members. All are local men with a
splendid knowledge of local conditions
who have special interest in the COM
munity's growth and who by their
acts in the past stand ready to help
finance any legitimate enterprise that
is for the best interests Of the com
munity or to help their customers as

VIRGINIA DISTRICT
PROMISES RESULTS

The formation of the Tyndalo Cop
per Mining Company, recently con-.
pleted by Messrs, w. r. McCqsky,
James p. Porteus and Thomas A
Lister, of Lordsburg with eastern as.
sociates, marks another step in the de.
velopment of the Virginia District,
that means much to the people and
growth of Lordsburg.
In consolidating and taking over
the BOnney Extension group and the
Mailla group, making a total of ten
claims, upon the report of Mr.. Por-
teus, of the Tyndale Co., are showing
excellent judgment, it was following
his advice that caused Mr.. McCasky
to take up the Bonney property last
August, at time when it was prac-
tically imperative. Under his man
agement, No. shaft was unwatered,
the presence of extensive ore bodies
established, very advantageous smell
ter contract for a large ore tonnage
was made with the Copper Queen
smelter at Douglas and car load ship
ments began. Having established the
value Of the property, negotiations
were started by Mr.. McCasky that re
suited in an association of interests
identified with the San Toy Mining
Co. of Mexico and Pittsburgh, Pa,
and the organization of the Law
renee Whining Co. capitalized at a
million dollars, which now operates the
Bonrey property. The work princi-
pally carried on upon the Bonney
property IS fer development purposes
and tho no particular effort is being
made to take cut ere, the shipments
Fun-about 30 cars a month, there are
now more men working at the Bon
ney than upon the 85 mine, which up
to the present time has been consider
ed the big mine of this district.
II is very encouraging to see the
capitalists who have already made
such a marked success in this field
show their confidence by further large
investments. Mr.. Porteus success with
the BOnney and his keen knowledge
of the possibilities of that property
and the surrounding territory, the fact
that he is himself largely iterested
in the Tyndale Co. and will have the
management of the property, give S
promise of the development of an
other shipper in this district.
Ut is the men that do things, that
spend their money and develop our
resources, that LOrdsburg should en-
courage. Since the opening of the
BOney mine last September there has
been put into circulation over $780,
100000 in wages alone, 90 per cent of
which were spent here in Lordsburg.
From all indications, the development
of the territory surrounding the Bon
ney has only just began.

and silver frequently pay the cost of
mining and milling.
Copper is a raw material and a
necessity of first Importance in war,
and is one of the products that will
be in enormous demand for industrial
purposes after the war.
Phenomenal profits will accrue to
those who have the foresight to invest
in copper properties or. shares at the
present time, especially in those ores
that carry gold and silver as we'll as
copper.
Thirty copper producing companies
operating in the United States, whose
securities are active at the present
time, have since organization to date,
paid $650,000,729 in dividends on an
aggregate capitalization of $505, ,951.- :
475, or an average of 1885 per cent.
These do not include the Kennecott
Copper company, which has paid So
100000 on its 100000 shares that
have no par value, but sell around $46
per share at current quotations.
These 81 stocks have a total market
value of approximately SLIPS, 900, 900,
on which a return of $515,000,O0O. or
about 46 per cent in dividends have
been paid
1.-THE ground now covered by the
New COrnelia Copper company, where
there was scarcely a jack rabbit three
years ago, is now producing $15,0OU,-
600 gross per year. This stock is now
quoted around $500 per share.
"About three years ago United
Verde Extension was being peddled
and peddled at Is cents per share.
Those Is cent shares are now worth
$36 each, or in other words the man
who had foresight enough to invest
$500 in the shares of this company can
now realize 100000 and the company
is now capitalized with 100000
shares of which 1,O50,OOO are now out
standing.
"Now is the time to get ore out of
the ground. Never was there a time
when the United States and the rest
of the world so greatly needed copper,
nor was there ever a time when
mediocre property could be made to re-
ward its owners as now"

scenes in ThOmpsOn's Canyon be

follows:
Lodsburg, on of the great central
divisions of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, where the line takes it's way
through the great Southwest, from
where the range of the rich cattle
country runs to the sheltering foot of
the distant Gold Hill, and from where
the views of the mountains disclose the
distant and lofty Mogollon range
Lordsburg, in Grant County, New
Mexico, a convenient center for the
meeting and dissemination of the com
pany's vast freight traffic and from
where the passenger, the people on
business bent or the tourist leave for
the mines, the range or the sights and
ancient treasures of the National for
est.
Lordsburg has too the merit of be-
ing in this country of opportunity and
the cities that rise in the night, where
god, silver and copper bcckon and al
lure, town many years to it's credit,
and a place where the romance of the
Old West, with all it's legends of sac
rifce, sudden feud and the vanished al
lurements of the "Green Cloth" still
lives, and casts its harm and tells its
story. At the perfect altitude of four
thousand feet, its climatic variation is
the cause of no discomfort, and the
pure air of real west cheers the sick
with hope and adds to the zest of life.
A population of two thousand is in the
town itself, while the country round
is the home of the stockman and the
homesteader.
Within three miles of Lordsburg
lies the great 50 mining property, a
distinguished producer, and mine
whose rich copper, gold and silver ores
are shipped to smelters which eagerly
seek them as they contain valuable and
necessary by-products for the process
ses OF smelling and treatment.
Mining Development
Round the 1856" are wellknown and
active mining properties, the "Bon-
ney," the "Atwood" and others, pro-
duers, and many whose successful ex-
ploitation proves the wonderful poasi-
bilities of this region. In this vicn-
ity a population of at least two thou
sand people are engaged in mining or
in trade dependent thereon, and a not
able increase in exploitation and de-
velopment proves the eagerness Of the
miner and the investor to take advan-
tage of field that has such present
and future promise.
An issue of the utmost Importance
and one that will at once appeal to
the traveller of the west, is the rapid
and determined development of one of
the most promising oil fields III the
