REPORT CONFIRMED

The announcement published in the
Western Liberal two weeks ago that
Sheriff H. J. McGrath of this city had
accepted a position as clerk Of the
United States District court of New
Mexico, has been confirmed, however.
Sheriff McGrath does not expect t0
formally enter upon his new duties
before January /, 1918, and in the
interim, Harry f. Lee, present clerk
of the federal court, will continue to
act
Sheriff McGrath has served as
sheriff of Grant county since 1910,
having been first elected in Novem-
ber, 1909. He was reelected at the
first state election held in 1911, and
elected again in November, last year.
His term does not expire until Jan
uary 1, 1919.
When he retires from the sheriff's
office, the board of commissioners vpf
Grant county will name his successor,
to fill out the unexpired term.
AS clerk of the United States dis
trict, court, Sheriff McGrath will nave
his headquarters at Santa Fe, but the
duties of the position will not require
all of his time, nor necessitate his
making his permanent home in the
state capital. He still will have OPP
portunity to give attention to his cat
tie and banking interests in Grant
county.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Elsewhere in this issue of the
Liberal we are giving notice of
the discontinuance of long term
accounts. We deem it necessary
to take this step on account of
the high cost of all merchandise
at the present time and of the
fact that numerous persons have
taken advantage of the privilege
allowed which sometimes causes
us the loss of large accounts.
In this new arrangement we
hope to give you better service
and by it can afford to sell our
goods at a smaller margin of
profit.

IS Extension Is Making
A Great Showing

Probably no other company ever
operating in the local mining district
has made as encouraging progress in
the same length of time as the 85
Extension Copper Company, which
began work at the Atwood mine two
weeks ago. The property has been
gotten into shape for systematic
mining and already high-grade ore
body has been opened up and ore
broken down ready for shipment.
The 85 Extension Copper Company
came into the district upon the rec
ommendation of L. D. Mcclure it's
manager, and Franklin B. Smith its
consulting engineer and geologist.
Beside taking over a large number
of undeveloped mining claims ad-
joining and near to the S5 Mining
company property the new operators
took under bond the Atwood mine be-
ginning work on that property at
once. Mr.. Mcclure made a careful
examination of all the slopes and
levels and believed pay ore could be
mined in one of the Slopes on the 148
foot level. He put a force of men
to work there and has made one of the
most encouraging discoveries of high
grade shipping ore ever found in the
Atwood mine. The ore will average
8 per cent copper with fine gold and
silver content. 1t should net $50 per
ton or $4,000 per carload at the
smelter where it is in demand for the
high grade silicious value. Over three
carloads are now broken in the stope
pending the unwatering of the 210
level from which place it will be
hoisted
An electric pump is installed in
the 210 sump and a torpedo-bucket
will aid in the unwatering this week.
As soon as the level is cleaned up the
ore will be taken from the chute.
Beside the work in the 148 foot
level stope the 85 Extension Copper
company is prosecuting development
work on the 10 foot level and doing
some open-cut work. At all places
they are making an excellent show
ing and the mine gives all evidence
of soon becoming one of the camps
big producers.
All the equipment at the Atwood is
in excellent condition. The company
plans to soon install an air compress
sor and drills and replace coal with
an oil burner in the boilers
The So Extension Copper Company
is proceeding with it's work in an
efficient manner and is fortunate in
getting into a fine body of shipping
ore from the start. All indications
point to unprecedented success for the
new operators.
The Atwood mine is well situated
in the district for ore occurrence.
Three of the claims, the Bessie, Henry
Clay and Atwood are located on one
of the larger dykes which outcrop
prominently throughout the district.
This dyke passes from the north

Petitions are being circulated
in southern Grant county request
ing Governor Lindsey to appoint
w. H. Kinnon, well known Stems
mining engineer and former
manager of the IS Mining Co., 4,
as a member of the New Mexico

especially qualified for this posi-

border and it is more than likely
that he will receive the appoint
ment.

No lands either surveyed or unsur-
vcycd have as yet been designated
as subject to entry under the Act of
December %, 1916. and this office
would not undertake 10 state whether
there will be any unsurveyed land
designated as subject to entry under
said act. However, if there should be
any designations of unsurveyed land,
$40 settlement claims may then be
established. At the present time no
petitions for designation which are
unaccompanicd by applications to
make entry will be considered, which
precludes the consideration of petit
tions for designation of unsurveycd
land.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of the 18th
INST, you are advised that we re-
Gently received notice of designation
of large areas in this land district
under the 800 Acre Act If you are
interested in any specific townships
ana will advise us, we will tell you
whether or not same are affected by
this designation.
Owing to the rush Of business,
these designations have not been noted
on the records No entries have as
yet been allowed in this district un-
uer the GAO Acre Homestead Law,
as we have not yet received any des-
ignation under that law.
We have now commenced to trans
NIT small numbers of petitions for
designation under this GAO Acre Act
10 the General Land Office in cases
where the papers are in due form and
there are no conflicts for the land.
OF course, it is impossible to state
when these petitions will bc acted
upon, but in view of the fact that up
to the middle of March over $4,000
applications have been filed in the u.
S., it would appear that there will be
long delay before the lands are
designated.
We have not yet attempted TO call
Tor additional evidence, or reject the
large number of applications hereto
fore filed under the GAO Acre Home
stead Act, but as above stated we are
transmitting at this time petitions
for designation in cases that are
complete.
We hope in the near future to he

Owing to the fact that the whole
sale price of lumber, coal and other
materials, that we handle (also cost
of dong business) has advanced to a

raised our retail prices, we find that
we are compelled to discontinue any
long credit business, and therefore
respectfully ask our patrons TO
assist us in keeping our price at a
minimum by paying their accounts
every thirty days and not later than
the 10th of following month. Thank

WAR SPECTACLE is PROCURED
FOR FAIR.

Advance notices Of "The War of
Nations" to be shown at the State
Fair Of Texas, Oct 13 to %, proclaim
this the greatest pyrotechnical d@play
ever created and one which mig es-
tablish standard for years to :, me
Many thousands of dollars have
been spent in building the settings for
this gigantic fireworks display" r H.
L. Knight, president Of the State Fair,
said patrons Of the 1917 fair will
witness a spectacle as beautiful as it is
extraordinary
No thought is more uppermost in
the minds Of the American people to-
day than the terrible struggle across
the sea, and the entrance Of the
( United States into the conflict brings
us to a realization that our sons and
loved ones may soon be in the very
thick Of the fighting With this in
mind the creators Of "The Waf or Ma
tions" has tried to bring to us in
America a portrayal of the spectacu~
lar side of the combat
"Ry the immense crowds which at
tended last year it was clearly demon
strated that patrons Of the fair are
highly in favor of hgh-class fire
works Recognizing this, we adopted
the time honored principle Of the fair
management of looking only for the
best to be procured and in "The War
of Nations" it is our judgment that
we have selected the greatest display
Of the kind that has ever been Of
fered"
). Interest in Encampments.
In addition to the nightly display of
fireworks, a program Of events has
been arranged TO be given before the
grand stand each afternoon and night
during the fair Feature acts from
some Of the largest theatres of the
world and circus numbers that have
pleased millions of people have been
procured to make up program Of
two hours.
The encampments for farm boys
and girls are attracting much atten-
tion from rural districts and are ex-
pected by those in charge to prove
big drawing cards for the 1917 expo
sition. Five hu0dred boys and $50
girls will be guests Of the State Fair,
and, in addition to receiving invaluable
educational service, will be awarded
prizes of material worth.
The offer of free exhibit space and
increases in prizes to be awarded are
expected to bring to the 1917 fair the
largest number Of county exhibits yet
listed. Correspondence already on file
with Secretary W. H. Stratton indi-
Gates that a number of counties which
have never yet shown their products
viii be represented this year.

TO OBSERVE SAFETY
FIRST DAY AT FAIR
hclhsrs Congress Day OssgnlIsd-..Prssl-
dent Knight Expects Full Attendance.

Recognizing the Importance Of tbs
safety first movement, the State Fair
Of Texas has designated Monday, Oct.
l5 as safety first day at the 1917 ex-
position and special observance Of the
day will be arranged The annual
meeting Of the Texas Safety First or
ganization will be held in Dallas Oct.
l5 and l6 and it is expected that a
large number Of the members Of this
organization will be on hand for the
meeting.
President r. r T.. knight has also
announced that Friday, oct. l9, will
be set aside as Mothers Congress day
at the 1917 fair. In conference with
officers of the congress, President
Knight was told that there would be a
large attendance and that the meeting
of the congress would be made one Of
the features of the fair.
Secretary w. II. Stratton announced
that plans have been completed for
remodeling the dairy barns where the
dairy cattle are exhibited and where
the dairy demonstrations are held The
entrance to the building will be rebuilt
to make the front much more attrac-
tive and the interior will be rear
ranged and improved. giving wider
asles and other conveniences, lack OF
which has heretofore proved somewhat
of handicap.
Interest in County Exhibits.
Particular interest is being shown
this year in the county exhibits and
correspondence on iile in the secre-
tary's office indicates that a greater
number of counties will exhibit than
ever before Bountiful crops through
out practically every section Of the
State have given almost every county
wonderful products to display and
large numbers Of counties are taking
advantage of these opportunities
This, coupled with the fact that free
exhibit space is offered in com
modious, well-lighted and well-yenti-
lated building, will undoubtedly make
the county exhibit Of great value, ac-
cordlng to Secretary Stratton. One
section Of West Texas has signed
up for more than twenty counties and
others are expected to enter
President knight is particularly en-
thusiastc about the amusement pro-
gram which has been arranged for the
1917 fair
I'VE are looking forward to enter
tanning between 1,250000 and ,500,-
600 people at the 1917 fair, President
Knight said, "and we want to be pre-
pared to satisfy perfectly all of these
folks. Last year, it will be remem-
bered, the attendance at the State
Fair was a little over million With
the bountiful crops of the present sea
son and these crops bringing higher
prices than was ever before known,
there is going to be a period Of great
prosperity throughout Texas, The
people are going to have more money
than ever before and they are going
to have good time on part of the
surplus This means, to my mind,
that they are going to flock to the
State Fair in numbers such as have
never before been dreamed Of and that
attendance records Of the past will be
smashed to smithereens"
