SUPREME COURT
 BREAKS SILENCE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 23-Chief Justice Alfred Franklin in a statement this afternoon to the Phoenix Gazette said that the court is using every ef- fort to expedite decision in the Hunt Campbell contest. The chief justice did not intimate when an opinion might be looked for, but declared that 10 days is a short time to reach de- cision in any ordinary appeal and some lawyers take six months to pre- pare a case"
 This is the first word that has been vouchsafed since the court took the case, and during the interim the busi- ness of the state continues to be tied up in hard knot.
 The legislature is meeting and ad- journing from day to day and is grow ing extremely uneasy under the delay and the failure of the pay voucher to materialize. Neither Hunt or Camp bell are making any attempt to con duct executive business, but Hunt re- tains the physicaD possession of the office.

Old John Barieycorn is moving in his grave. It is now claimed that the prohibition amendment to the consti' tuition was not put on the ballot in the manner required by law. The legislature, it is admitted may cure the defect, but it will require a two thirds vote to prevent old referendum from coming in for delay.

THE |LORDSBURG SPIRIT

Vim and Punch is the American
ideal. Anyone who lacks these twins
in his makeup is not wholly Ameri-
can in spirit. But our communities
must be this ideal also. Some of our
towns have anything-or is it every
thing-except vim and punch. Need
ed improvements are rarely consider
cd. Organization of community in.
terests are not attempted. Corpora
ton for the public good is not thought
of. This surely is not what Ameri-
can vim and punch stands for.
Ever since the Lordsburg Chamber
of Commerce was organized this city
has advanced into the "vim and
punch" class. You do not have to
remember back very far if you read
the daily papers to the publicity this
city received from its present move
and how only last week it was set up
as the best example in the southwest
for the town of Tombstone, Ariz. "Vim
and pep"-that's what we want to
keep alive in Lordsburg. Get the
habit.

Sketch Map And Lees Peak Mines
THE MINES AT LEES PEAK.

To the northwest of the property of
the So Mining company in what is
known as the Lees Peak section,
there are several groups of promising
claims upon which development work
has been done at times, showing up a
highly mineralized zone. 1t is my be
lief, and the belief of a number of en-
gineers who have been over the
ground, that this section is one of the
most favorable for ore occurrence in
the Lordsburg region.
THE OCTO MINING COMPANY
holds a grogp of nine claims upon
which a number of veins converge at
a general point. At this place a three
compartment shaft has been started.
During several months in 1916 a Bis
lee, AriZ., firm of contractors ac-
cepted a contract for the sinking of
this shaft, but later forfeited their
contract and bond. The work that
was done, attaining a depth of about
200 feet, was very encouraging. The
property is fully equipped with boil
ers, engines, hoists, cOmpressors and
a very complete line of mining neces-
stiles. The property is p%rospected by
a number of deep and shallow shafts
all revealing ore in place. Doubtless
at depth the company will reach sui
phides. A number of shipments of
lead ore and some copper, gold and
silver ore have been made from the
Octo property.
THE MONTE RICO MINING COM
PANY, have nine full claims taking in
the mountain of Lees peak, which
reaches an altitude of about JOBS feet
above sea level. The principal lodges
of the district cut this peak. On the
north side of the peak a tunnel has
been driven us feet into the noun
tain but as yet has not reached the
main vein. The entire tunnel from
the portal to head is leached and
broken. giving excellent indications of
was encouraging. The company in
tends to continue the main tunnel un.
I'll the Lees Peak vein is reached.
THE HECLA MINING COMPANY
is one of the new companies in the
district. having taken over the prop
erty Of the Michigan-New Mexico Cop,
per company and adjoining claims.
The property is located on the promi-
nent outcrop of the district and al
ready has been developed by a 300
foot shaft. Tho company has pur-
chased a CONSIGNMENT of mining ma
chinery including two boilers, hoist
engine and compressor. 1t is the in
tert'on OF the operators to continue
The sinking OF the shaft. The Hecll
tOpcr'y IS ucr,toT oIs.

Agriculture.

It is an interesting fact that east
Of the Rocky mountains agriculture Is
fairly well distributed, taking into CON
slderation the varying areas Of the
states, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
California shows up well because Of
her immense fruit and grain crops.
New England appears to be tagging,
but all New England is less in area
than Il great many individual states,
and this Sterile soil" produces about
as much as Missouri. which has a
larger area than combined New Eng
land. Massachusetts, produces more
value per acre than any other COM
mOnwealth.
