The 85 Mining Company is hold
ing fast TO its record as the second
largest metal producing company in
the state of New Mexico. At the
present time there are nearly $50
men on the company payrolls which

is widening the main haulage tunnel
from the ore-bins to the shaft for the
Plymouth gasoline locomotive which
viii replace the mule system of haul
age. The new locomotive is one Of
the latest type fully equipped with
electrical starting and lighting sys-
tenn. AT the same time a large
double-deck cage is being installed
in the shaft and will be in operation
soon. This equipment greatly in
creases the efficiency of ore handling
to the bins and shows the intention
of the company to expand in every
way
The main shaft which is now down
$50 feet is being sunk to the ESQ
level under contract to Thos. Wright
of Bisbee, Ariz. Mining, under the
supervision of J. w. Jackson, is be-
ing carried on at all parts of the

SAD DEATH OF MRS.
PREBBLE GOODSELL

Sunday morning, February 25
at Douglas, Ariz., occurred the
sad death of Mrs. G.. w. Good
sell, "a former Lordsburg girl and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w S.
Marshall. Mrs. GoOdsell was
taken ill with smallpox over a
ago and it was believed that she
had passed the crisis when the
tragic word was received here.
She leaves two small children,
Thomas aged 5 and Marshaline
aged 2, besides her husband,
mother and father.
Prebble Marshall was born in
junction City Texas October 19,
1889 coming to Lordsburg in 1900
with her parents. She attended
school here and was popular and
loved by all who knew her. May
l1th 1909 she was married TO w.
| G, Goodsell, a we'll known Doug
las, Arizona citizen moving to
7 that place. She was a visitor
here every few months, renewing
acquaintances and spending a
week or two with her mother.
Deceased was a member of the
Baptist church and was a loving
wife and mother To the bereft
the deepest sympathy of the
community is extended. Especi-
ally to Mrs Eva Marshall is deep
est coincidence given. In May
of last year she brayely bore the
loss of her daughter Mrs. George
| Woods and now the hand of the
Grim Roper has claimed another
loved one. But the memory of
the honorable and beautiful life
Just ended sustains and com
forts her and, taking the two
little children left motherless in
to her keeping, great load is
] lifted.

Prohibition Amendment Is
Passed By Both Houses

the people next November. There are
those who claim that the pro element
was handed a gold brick, says the
Albuquerque Herald. On the other
hand the pro element, headed by r.
e. Farley, believe that the law will
make the state sufficiently dry to sat
isfy the most ardent prohibitionist,
As the pros are not accustomed to
being handed the heated end OF the
poker in cases of this kind we arc
rather inclined to bank on their
judgment.
However, it might be well to do a
little analyzing, and in doing so the
fact should not be lost sight of that
when considering what effect the law
will have on liquor consumption it is
necessary that the proposed amend
ment to the constitution of New Mex
leo be considered in connection with
the Webb-Kenyon law.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb. 2i.-The
resolution introduced by Senator
Galegos, just before adjournment
this afternoon, created a furry of eX-
citement in the upper chamber and
caused Senator Lea, of Chaves cQun-
ty, to become visibly agitated. The
resolution recitcd the obvious fact
that great volume of work is still
to be done and that the time in which
to do it is growing shorter with each
passing day. and in view of all the
circumstances it resolved that the
senate should not from now on con-
slider any legislation providing for
the creation Of new counties.
Inasmuch as th1 Lea county bill,
in the success of which the Chavos
county senator is very much intcr-
ested, had just been transmitted to
the senate after being passed by the
house, the effect of the Gallcgos res
olution would have been TO set at
naught all the hard work that has
been done by Mr.. Eavcs and his as
sociatcs of the house i'm getting the
new county bill through Hasty con
ferenccs were held, with the result
that the resolution was SO amended
aa not to apply to any pending leg
islation, and was then passed without
| dissent.
Unless the senate should recede
| from the position taken in this reso-
luton there will be no new county
carved from Mora and san Miguel
counties, as has been planned by
some members, but at that The pros
poets are that after this session OF
the legislature there viii be twenty
eight counties in New Mexico instead
of twenty-siX.
The de Baca county I'll is now
ready for the signature Of Governor
Lindsey, the house having concurred
| in the senate amendment at Friday s.
/ session and the signatures Of the Of
/ ficCrs of 10th branches of The lVgisla-
| turc having been attached TO the bill
| today. Lea county has excellent
/ prospects of getting through the sem
ate. For some reason not readily aV-
parent, but probably with a view to
promoting dissentiOn among demo-
Gratis, the republicans of both houses
/ have come TO the conclusion that it
is good politics to give the people of
the plains a new county, and it seems
to be in the stars that the bill will
go through Also, while Governor
Lindsey has given no intimation re-
garding his position i'm the matter,
the general belief is. that he will give
his approval TO both the de Baca and
Lea county bills.

The passage last week by congress
of the law prohibiting shipments into
dry states of liquor makes the prohi-
bition amendment passed by the state
legislature three weeks ago, bone
dry, willy nilly, That is the federal
law makes it illegal to ship liquor in
any prohibition state and also pro-
vides that no newspaper or other
publication or letter containing liquor
advertising shall be carried in the
mails in states that prohibit such ad-
vertising,
The following is the text of the
amendment which will become law
with President Wilson's signature:
"Whoever shall order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce." the
amendment stipulates, except for sci
entific, medicinal or mechanical pur-
poses, into any state or territory pro-
hlbiting the manufacture or sale
therein of Intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes, shall be punished
by q fine of not more than six months
or both, and for any subsequent of
fense shall be imprisoned not mere
than one year"

It is not altogether out of the
range of possibility that the people
of this county will soon be involved
in a contest even more exciting than
any ever had in this section. The
idea has been suggested years ago
and in some quarters is finding much
favor, that a new county should be
organized out of part of Grants
present territory 1t is claimed that
the county embraces sufficient ter
ritory for two good sized counties.
That as the situation now stands the
people in the entire southern end of
the county are compelled to travel
distance of 60 and 20 miles to the
county seat to attend the courts and
to transact other business, which is
an inconvenience that they should
not be expected to endure much
longer. That it is question which
will inevitably come up sooner or
later, and many express themselves
that there will never be better
time to bring it up than now.
