MORE THAN 500
SIGNATURES OBTAINED
To PETITION
Asking That If Franchise For
Ferry. Is Sold That 1t Be
On a Basis Of Cheap Fare
and Service, Rather Than
For Bulk Sum Paid In City
Treasury.

More than five hundred names
have already been signed to the petit
| ton asking of the Commission Coun-
| ell that if the franchise for the Third
| District ferry is to be sold that it is
to be sold on basis of IOloer ferridge
and better Serrice instead of q basis
of money TO be paid into the City
| Treasury.
Algiers people are deeply interested
in the subject and good deal of dis
cussion is taking place just now re-
garding the requirement for the new
ferry service. 1t seems to be the
universal opinion that the ferry rates
for pedestrians should be one hun
dred tickets for a dollar. That sim
gle teams should be allowed to cross
for five cents and double teams for
ten cents. That the passengers
should be separated from the horses
and vehicles; that the approaches be
so arranged that the passengers will
go to the upper deck of the boat di-
rectly from the ramp, or the top of
the levee, instead of walking down
hill and then walking upstairs again
into the cabin. Many are in favor

they be made double-enders and used
with slips. Many people are con-
verted to the idea that we should
have municipal-owned ferries, oper-
ated either by a commission or by
the Dock Board.
Another crowd of interested citi-
zens met Tuesday night for the pur-
pose of discussing at greater length
the requirements that should be
asked for in the new franchise and
to take up several other matters in
the campaign which is now begun
for the people of Algiers to acquaint
them as to what will be reasonable, |
what we should expect from the city |
as citizens and taxpayers. Several of !
our prominent women who have done |
hard work in the interest of our civic |
have taken out several |
of our lists and have gotten a great |
of signatures. 1t is expected |
that by the end of the week there |
will be at least 1000 petitioners.

REPAIR OUTFIT
GIVES SECURITY

The automobile tourist who insists
upon travelling in absolute comfort,
invariably carries in his ear a more
or less complete kit of repairing
equipment with which his tires and
tubes may be fixed up in time of
emergency.
A box of patches, a blowout boot
and few valve insides do not oc-
cupy great deal of space, but there
are occasionally times when they
prove of immense value.
In discussing this point the service
manager of the Fisk Rubber COM
jany points out a way in which a mo-
torist who is careful to keep his sun
dry kit well stocked effects a consid-
cradle saving on his tire expense. He
says that "slow leaks" one of the
most exasperating difficulties which
the motorist can encounter, is more
often due to an imperfect valve in
side than 20 any other one cause.
The simple and sure remedy for
such trouble is to supply a new valve
inside, which can be accomplished
easily and quickly, thus remedying
the entire cause. A well-furnished
sundry kit is sure TO include several
small articles of tire equipment
which are bound to result in a saving
to the motorist in both patience and
money.

Local Men Enter
Black Hills Field

Lordsburg mining capitalists en-
tered the Black Hills mining field last
week, when w. T. McCaskey of this
city, with Fred Poor and Judge Bay
less of Chicago, at the head of the
syndicate, took over the Maloney Blue
Lead copper property, situated at
Sheridan, s. ID. The property con-
sists of % patented claims, compris-
ing 314 acres.
The property is located about five
miles from the railroad and the haul
ing charge is 81 per ton and the
freight to the Omaha smelter about
SO, with treatment of ore about $3.50
per ton. There is 1O0-ton smelter
within 1000 feet of the property that
will eventually be put in operation
to handle the ore.
The development consists of a tun-
mel driven 1900 feet, gaining 700 feet
in that depth. At 1900 feet a vein Of
116 feet cut Of low grade ore aver
aging 2 per cent copper.
There is every indication Of heavy
secondary enrichment. This vein
shows a large blowout and five cars
of ore from this gave an average Of

galues in gold and silver.
On the Strator claim. vein 25
feet wide has been stripped for n
distance of 1000 feet. This averages
3.8 per cent copper, besides gold and
silver values. Openings have been
made on this vein for a lineal distance
Of 1000 feet, showing ore in all Of
about the same general value There
is about 1000 tons of ore upon the
dumps that will average z per cent
copper.
One of these claims was the first
mineral location in the Black Hills
made in 1875, but copper was then Of
little value and the property was 300
miles from a railroad and the country

were very hostile toward the whites.
The controlling interest was owned
by John Harnen, who was a pick and
shovel miner. and owned a third in
terest in the Portland mine in Cripple
Creek, Colo. When that property was
sold he received between one and a
half and two million dollars for his
interest. He afterward became inter
ested in the Maloney Blue Lead, and
when a disagreement between the
stockholders occurred he bought the
control, holding $514,500 out of to-
tai of $614,000. 1t is this interest
that has been purchased bv the Nc
Caskey syndicate. The taking over
of this proDertv will not interfere in
anv way with Mr.. McCaskey's inter
ests in the Lordsburg district.

that their children attend school with
regularity and punctuality," is the
statement of J. c. GOrdy, new prin-
cipal of the LOrdsbuTg schools.
school will open Monday, Sept.
3, and l make a plea for all pupils
to be in their respective grades on
that day. The cooperation of pat
rOns is necessary to make the Lords
burg school one of the best in the
state. Let us bring the schools of
the city to the highest possible eff
cheney the coming wear, but this can
not be done bv the teachers alone,
even though thev are well qualified
and experienced; it cannot be done
which is most able and efficient, but
must come about through the CO.
operation of the community at large,
which l am sure will be forthcoming.
Special attention this year will be
given to the industrial branches. Bas-
kerry will be taught in the Fourth
grade, and from the Fifth up do
mestic science and art to girls, and
a practical and interesting course in
manual training to the boys. A course
in physical training will be given the
common school under the direction of
Miss Shepard. and athletics in the

They were met at he tram by a
committee and taken to the Vendome
hotel and in the meantime the guests
gathered at the Up-to-Date cafe for
the luncheon r.. II. Mitchell acted
as chairman of the meeting and in
troduced each of the two visitors with
brief talks.
Surprise that there was no CONNER
cial club in such a hustling little city
as Lordsburg was expressed by Mr..
Elrode at the commencement Of his
talk, and he urged that any city Of
the size of Lordsburg was making a
serious mistake by not having such
an organization.
He then related incidents of the
trip, telling Of journey over the Ne
vada desert, but which was followed
by a trip south from Salt Lake City
on the east edge of the beautiful Wa
satch mountains. Mr.. Elrode ex-
planned that the Evergreen Highway
had been planned by boosters in the
state OF Washington from a scenic
standpoint and would eventually Ue
the most beautiful in the world.
Mr. Elrodc also showed how the
route had just been changed to cross
the Colorado river at Lees ferry and
thus take i'm the Grand Canyon in
northern Arizona. He urged the erec-
tion of camp sites at stopping places,
where campers could have every con-
venience.
Mr.. Howell made brief talk show
ing the Importance of advertising the
advantages of a city, stating that il
was quite as important as advertis-
ing ones business. Both he and Mr..
Elrode declared that they were not
only very much pleased by the hos
pitality shown them in Lordsburg,
but were surprised as well, as thev
had understood that it was a small
town of 500 and .unimportant
The advantages of the route by
Lordsburg was urged in a snappy
talk given by J. II. Fitzpatrick, local
garage man, who prefaced his re-
marks by telling the visitors that he
agreed with them on the subject of a
commercial club. He then pointed out
the advantages of the El PasO-LOrds-
burg road, and told of numerous
cases where tourists had been badly
disappointed by going the Deming
ROdcO cutoff. He also showed how
the traveller west from LOrdsburg
had the choice of three routes, one

missing a lot of good things by not
having a central commercial body,

present that now is the time to push
the matter. Every citizen interested
in the welfare of LOrdsburg will be
urged to join, and an enthusiastic
meeting is expected.
