EARLY HARVEST IN GERMANY

Copenhagen. June 4.-The German
crops now show a fairly satisfactory
condition according to German reports.
The hot. dry weather during May, the
idriest May in 16 years, with rainfall
barely half of the normal, brought on
the grain crop so rapidly that the far
mers in southern and western Germany
are reckoning upon the harvest at the
usual date, notwithstanding the
greatly belated spring.

SUGGESTS UNITY AND ALL
BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS

DIR. S. M. Johnson, of Ruidoso,
was is Carrizozo Tuesday on bu-
siness. DR.. Johnson is another
one of the East Siders who is
against the movement to divide
Lincoln county. He points out
that one.third Of the taxes are
paid by the railroad company
and that the new county which
is being advocated would have
no railway line TO help them sup
port h e county government
and thus the taxation on the
people of t h e proposed new
county would be much heavier
than it now is.
DR.. Johnson suggests that in
stead of the division that there
be unity of action and that all
pull together and construct a
system OF good roads leading To
the county seat. This can be
done by voting for the bond is
sue for roads. If the bond cleo
ton carries, it will provide the
money, dollar for dollar, for the
roads the Federal government
will be expected to help build.
This will release a considerable
AMOUNT of the general road funds
of the county to apply to other
needed roads, so that in a year
or two, by united effort, every
community in the county could
be connected with the county
seat by a good road.

LINCOLN COUNTY THEN AS
LARGE AS KANSAS STATE

Block Ranch. Dec. rs, 1916.
Christmas in 1916 in little old
Lincoln county! How different
from a Christmas spent at White
Oaks IN 1880, and another spent
at the Jones ranch on Seven
Rivers in 1881! SO years have
passed and gone, but that same
spirit of good cheer remains
even on Gov. w. C.. McDonald's
Block cattle ranch, where white
faced cattle roam as of yore, on
a thousand hills. and where the
man with the hoe is fast crowd
ing these same white-faced cow
brutes to the top of the hills.
Lincoln county of today is not
what it was 36 years ago. Then
she had $50 miles square of free
range, and not more than ten
COW brutes to the square mile.
Then she only had two towns
Lincoln, the county seat, and
White Oaks, a mining camp of
1000 souls. Within her borders
were, also, the most daring
young outlaw of the age, BILLY
the Kid" and one of the most
fearless law officers, Pat Gar
rett, VINO ever trod in shoe lea
ther. In those days Lincoln
county was almost as large as
the state of Kansas. Within
her then borders are now located
the city of Roswell, Alamogordo,
Carlsbad, Artesia, Dexter, Por-
tales, Fort Sumner, Texico, Low
ington, C%arrizozo, Captain, Coro-
ma and Tularosa. The latter
was a village, and so was Ros-
well in the early SOS but the
others were not Oh the map at
that time.
That prince Of cooks, Jack
Hondo, made Christmas of 1916
come one day ahead of time by
serving the turkey dinner ON
Christmas eve. And you can
bet your bottom dollar il was
some dinner. Everything one
wish for was on the table. 1t
was a feast for the gods and
then some. Around the table
sat Mr., and Mrs. Lloyd Taylor
and their little daughter, Ruby,
and her chum, little Miss Long.
Then there were Mr.. and Mrs.
John Mocho and baby girl and
Mr.. and Mrs, Henry Harder and
their three Riddles.
The Block boys who dug into
into the fat turkey and chickens
were Frank Ellis, Red" Dale,
Tom Wilders and Jim Woodland,
alias Jim Redman. Could you
have seen the pile of turkey
bones on the writer's plate you
would know he, also, was pres
ent. During the afternoon Jim
Woodland and the writer harked
back to the hurrah days of White
Oaks when we were chums to-
gether. Now that Mr.. Hodo's

STATES OUTPUT OF
METAL On INCREASE
More Than 50 Million Dol
lars Worth of Metals Pro-
duced in New Mexico Dur
ing 1917.
BIGGEST GAIN IN OUTPUT
OVER 1915 Is IN COPPER

The output of New Mexico
mines for eleven months of 1916,
with an estimate for December
as reported by the United States
Geological Survey, Department
Of the Interior, indicates a yield
of 81, $50, 600 in gold, 1900, 600
ounces of silvea, z, 100, 600 pounds
of lead, 81, 400, 600 pounds of
copper, and 35, 500, 600 pounds of
zinc, valued in all at S33, 469, 400
as compared with a total value
in 1915, for the same metals of
of $40, 279. 46S.
The Mogollon district, SocOrro
county, continued to be the most
productive district in New Mexi-
&C in the output of gold and silv-
err. There was a great deal of
development work in this district
in 1916, but the yield decreased
appreciably. The Socorro and
Mogollon mines were active. All
the ore was milled in the district
by concentration, shining, and
agitation and percolation in cya-
hide solution, the bulk of the
product being cyanide precipita-
ties the balance being high grade
g~old-silvar concentrates. The
Elizabethtown district. Colfax
county, from the Aztec mine
alone, was also a very large pro-
Queer of metallic gold, gold bull
lion, and gold concentrates.
The Cossak cyanidation mill in
the Bland district, Sandoval
county, closed in December 1915
was started up again in the
spring of 1915, and contributed a
considerable yield of ~silver-gold
bullion. Gold bullion continued
to be produced at the amalgama-
ton mill, on the North and South
Homestake mines, at White Oaks
Lincoln county. The Lordsburg
district, Grant county, which
has also been steadily increasing
its shipments of siliceous gold
and silver bearing copper and
dry ores, again greatly increased
its tonnage shipped. The copper
concentrates of the Chino Copper
company containing as they do
small quantities of gold, contri-
buted to the gold yield. The
continued activity of the mines
and matte smelter, at San Pedro,
Santa Fe county, also added am
increased quantity of gold to Che
New Mexico yield. Shipments
of copper ores from the Jarilla
district, Otero county, carried
some gold.
The principal metal produced
in New Mexico is copper, and
since 1910 the yield has been
chiefly from the Chino Copper
company low grade copper de-
posts at Santa Rita. The ore is
milled at Hurley in a large con-
centration plant. During 1916
the largest tonnage in the his
tory of the company was treated
and the gross output was 75,-
500, 600 pounds. TIL e Burro

This property and the reserves

ores were also shipped from the
Organ Mountains district, Dona

Dodge company has secured a
large area which it has been de-
veloping during 1917. This dis

A large tonnage Of low grade
copper ore with calcite gangue

The yield of lead showed an
appreciable increase. Lead ores
were shipped from the Central,
