 CONDITION OF FOREST ROADS

Albuquerque, N. M, Aug.

The reports will be compiled by the Automobile Club and made available to Informa- tion Bureaus throughout the South vest.
 Forest officers state that every season sees numbers of transconti- mental tourists marooned on stretches of bad road. Timely warning would have enabled them to either delay their trip or find their way around over good roads.

DUTY AND INTEREST.

Every holder of liberty loan bond and every prospective purchaser in the next issue of the liberty loan bonds should bear in mind that the purchase of liberty loan bond helps the Government of the United States, helps the citizens of the United States, and helps the pur- chaser as citizen as well as being at the same time splendid private investment.
 Moreover, every purchaser of a liberty loan bond serves humanity itself
 One can not serve his country his fellow citizens without serving himself his family, and posterity. The purpose of the liber- ty loan bond is to make the world safe for demo- cracy, and every purchaser of bond does something to that great end by which not only the present but future generations are bene- fitted

IN ANSWER TO HAYwooD's THREATS.

As Secretary of the 1. w. w., w. D. Hay wood of Chicago complains that he has received no answe to the telegram sent by him to President Wilson threatening that general strike will be called in the Middle West un- less the I. w. w. men deported from Bisbee, Arizona, ''are brought back to their families
 The answer to Haywood should be framed by Grand Jury. An indictment for conspir- acy would be the proper reply. The l. w. w. agitator boasts that the strike that he plans would cause immense losses to the farmers by stopping harvest work, and by shutting down the mines in the West impede the work of muni- tions manufacturers He has in mind gigan- tic plot against the United States in time of war.
 Apparently Haywood thinks that by threats of a strike he and his confederates among the leaders of the 1. W. w. can force the United States Government into acceding to any condi- tions that they may see fit to dictate It IS not so helpless as he seems to imagine. If ordinary criminal proceedings are too slow,slt might ln the circumstances take the more summary measures against him and his accomplices in the conspiracy to tie the Nations hands in the prose- cutiOn of the war.
 There can be no parleying with men of Haywood's class. They challenge the United States. The effective way to deal with them is to teach them promptly that whether inspired by disloyalty or lawessness, they will be held to a strict accountability It is much better the Government should deal with these cases i'm mediately and witk firm hand. Otherwise it will have to deal with general disorder and with the kind of private vengeance that resulted in the lynching of an l. W. w. leader in Montana.

GREAT VERDE EXTENSION
 EXPECTED TO BE WINNER

Jerome, Ariz, Aug. 7.-All eyes in the Jerome district are centered on the activities of the Great Verde Ex- tension.
 J. w. Hubbard, formerly superin. terdent of the Dundee-Arizona, who is in charge of the operations on the Great Verde property announced this week that the bottom of the shaft is in sandstone and lime, in which punches of carbonates, chalcopyrite and even copper glance appear.
 MT. Hubbard states that the punches of ore are distinctly in the sandstone and lime, and not from the conglomerate.
 The ore was struck in the sinking of the three-compartment shaft at d depth of 36 feet from the surface, and according to MT. Hubbard's state ment, the United Verde Extension found the identical ore on tEe 500 foot level.
 According to the prediction made which was based on his thorough knowledge of the Jerome district, he expected to encounter this ore on tho Great Verde at depth of 200 feet but to use his own words, 'it besIed my judgment by coming in from 34 I to 36 feet from the surface"
 AItho the ore is encountered in small punches, the development is such as has tended to excite tine miners in the camp.
 Supt. Hubbard's statement IS to the effect that the formation of the Grea1 Verde Extension is everything . rha could be expected at the presen depth Hubbard who is one Of tht most conservative mining men .n tht district says, :" l am not exclteable but back my judgment on true condi tious. now if the next two or three rounds continue to bring punches O ore of this grade to the surface, ant the present formation continues, look for big events.
 AItho rapid progress is being mad, on the sinking of the shaft w1tl hand steel, work will be rushed whel plant of machinery is installed Plans are now under way for this ln stallation, and it is expected that an early date, full equipment Of ma chinery will be in operation.
