COWBOYS PLANNING
HUNT FOR BANDITS
WOULD CROSS THE BORDER IN
PURSUIT OF elAYERS OF
THREE AMERICANS.
Leaders Expect to Raise Force Of Five
Hundred Men and are Securing
Arms and Ammunition for
Expedition.

Fl Paso, Texas.-The report Is cur
rent here that the cattlemtn in the
Hachita district Of New Mexico, intend
to form a punitive expedition of their
own to cross into Mexico and give
chase TO the bandits who murdered
the three American cowboys on the
Corner ranch last week. 1t is known
that cattlemen have brought supplies
OF arms and ammunition here and
shipped them to Hachita, and that
much bitter talk has been heard from
them.
Lem Spillsbury, the Mormon scout
lately with General Pershing in Mex
leo, was said to be organizing a posse
of this kind after the discovery of the
dead bodies of his companions near
Corner ranch, but according to report,
gave up the idea because he could
not muster more than fifty men, and
there are about 500 OF Villas followers
in the neighboring part of Mexico.
The rumor had it that cattlemen
from all parts of the southwest were
joining the expedition, which they
expected to be increased to about SOC
men.

to $4,000 in 1915. and to 2,

London.-The Germans in the Mir

the positions taken from them by the
British on Saturday, but their at
tempts were fruitless, according to
the British war office. Attacking in
waves, the Germans came under the
and were swept back to their

At no place did the attacking forces
reach the British line, and the Brit
ish suffered no casualties. The Brit
Ish captured 7S0 officers and men.
Trench-raiding operations and artil-
lery duels still continue on various
sectors OF the front in France and
Belgium. In Champagne, near Ri.
pont, according to Berlin, the French
have actively shelled the Germans in
the positions captured from the
French last week, but have been un
able to launch infantry attacks, ow
ing to the terrific artillery reply OF
the Germans.
Except for isolated attacks, the
most violent of which, was deliveret
by the Russians against Teutonic al
lied positions in the Oituz valley II
Roumania and which Berlin says wa
repulsed, little fighting is in progres

Experiments

Idaho, Montana and Utah
have been brought to the attent-
ion of the whole world the past
two years due to their wonderful
mineral resources and production
of copper, lead, zinc. gold, silver
and the other minerals.
Prosperity has been unpreced-
ented due to these industries and
mines and smelters have had a
more rapid development than
would have been possible in many
years under 1,ormal canditions.
Processes OF smelling have been
developed whereby ores that have
heretofore beenpract,cally worth
less, have been turned into val
liable metal and it is safe to say
that due to these improved met
hods, there has been less waste
of metals than ever before.
The investing public had its
