Good Report Made
By Frank Coon

Favorable stock and mining condi-
tiOns are contained in a report on
Southwestern New Mexico made for
the August Bulletin of the Denver
National bank by Frank Coon of the
LOrdsburg First National Bank. The
report is as follows:
Frank r. Coon, Cashier, The First
National Bank of LOrdsburg, Lords
burg, New Mexico, under date of
Aug. Id, 1917, reporting for South
western New Mexico, says:
"Since my report on January 10Th
last, weather conditions have not all
been favorable. Our spring was cold
and backward and in consequence
many of our yearlings did not move
to northern pastures. We have, how
ever, had plenty of feed for carry
ing purposes and with the rains which
we are now getting our yearlings for
fall delivery should be in excellent
condition, and owing to the fact that
very few were sold in the spring,
should be very desirable on account
of the long ages. The cattle of this
section are we'll graded to the Here
fOrds and will show eighty-five per
cent white faces. There are pro-
bdDly i've buouSdHu nedu OF yehTllnES
and one to two thousand old cows
for sale in this immediate community,
and the writer will be glad to give
prospective purchasers further details
or assistance in making contract.
mining operations in this district
are very active. The Eighty Five
Mining Company have broken ground
for their new 300 hundred ton con-
centrator. The machinery is all un-
der contract, and the company hopes
to have the mill in operation by
December 1st. The Eighty-Five Com
pany has been a continuous producer
for over ten years and expects with
the installation of their mill to ma
terially increase their output.
"The Lawrence Mining Company,
who some months ago took over the
property of the Bonney Mining Com
pany, have been making regular ship
ments since they have had charge
of the property and in addition have
done a great deal of development
work, and ultimately will make an
other big producer for this district.
Numerous smaller properties and
leases are working and showing hand
some profits, and there are still other
good properties which requires only
capital and knowledge of the game.

OFFICERS QUALIFY
AS BONE EXPERTS.

Deputy Sheriff Oscar Allen and
other Lordsburg officers qualified as
experts in "osteology" or the science
of bones, last Friday morning when
they went to investigate bones found
in the remains of burned shack in
Cottonwood Canyon about 20 miles
north of the city. Investigation show
ed the bones to be either that of a
goat or dog, as the lower jaw bone
was not in one piece as that of a
human being. When first reported it
was supposed that some unfortunate
wanderer had perished in the burning
shack.

NO DICTAGRAPH HANDY
WHEN THEFT TALKS.

Just what the burglar who robbed
the Office of w. F. Ritter near the
Espee depot Sunday evening said
when he finally got to the cash draw
er is a matter for speculation as no
distagraph was handy. 1t is believ-
ed, however, that it was good hot
language, as there was only 25 cents
in the drawer. The intruder entered
by cracking a window pane on the
west side of the office and raising
the catch. He then pried open the
cash drawer with crow-bar, but had
to be content with a two-bit piece.
However mad he might have been
over his poor luck, he took the quart

He suggested that Lordsburg be al

agreed to by the FL Paso men.
The projected organization of the
Lordsburg Chamber of Commerce has

stereopticon slides made from pictures
he had taken, MIR. and Mrs. II. j.
Howe. Mr.. and Mrs. J. l.. Carney and
Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. ST. Clair were the
hosts and hostesses of the evening.
In a short introduction Mr.. Riggs de-
clared that he as~slad that the United

found himself better able to handle his
subject now that he could say exactly
what he thought This country owes
to France" declared the lecturer. more
than to any other country, save that
Of our mother. England"
Following this brief bit which showed
his audience that the speakers feel
ings were strongly with France, Mr.
