Miser's Chest Mine
May Be Operated

There is a strong possibility that
within very short time the Miser's
Chest mine, adjoining the Bonney
property on the southwest, will be in
operation. A transaction is now
pending between Mogollon, n. NJ,
mining interests and j. G. Berryhill,
owner of the Mines 1t is believed
the deal will be closed within a week $
time. Engineers of the Mogollon
company have gone over the proper
ty and have reported favorably upon
it.
The Miser's Chest is situated a
short distance to the southwest of
the Bonney Mine and is on continu-
alton of the Bonney veins. The sur
face naturalization at the Miser's
Chest is even more prominent than at
the Bonney with well defined walls of
andesite-porphyry.
There are several deep shafts on
the Miser's Chest property from which
thousands of tons of ore have been
extracted. The work, however, has
not been done Systematically and in
no way to block out ore bodies. On
the surface there are shallow shafts
from which lessees have taken out
large quantities of paying ore and
at every part of the mine the ore en-
countered was Of shipping grade
The main shaft is down about 60C
feet, at which point the workmer
were forced out by a large flow oI
water for which pumping had not
been prepared. The upper levels
have been well stopped out leaving
few traces Of any commercial ore
The vein is from two to twenty feet
in widt.l carrying values in gold, 81
yer and copper.
Old records showed the vqlue PEI
car Of the Miser'. Chest ore us fol.

in that neighborhood
The old operators of the Miser'
Chest lived off the ox.li2cl ores Of
the upper levels bur no effort was
made to develop the oulphile zone
which is doubtless the I~ost enrich
ed. In the lower workings gooC
sulphide zone was cut but waite
flooded the mine and no eXtensYc de-
yelopment work was done. The Nj

LORDsBURG BOYS JOIN NAVY

Buster Gould and Dave Will
liams leave Friday afternoon for
Ell Paso, Texas to take the ply
sical examination in connection
with their applications as yeomen
in the United States Navy.
Both boys are we'll known in
Lordsburg where they have a
large number of friends conf
dent of their success and ability
to work themselves up in the
ranks. Both young men will
likely go to San Francisco for
six months training after which
time they will enter into the

GARAGES DEMAND CASH

Another important credit
change will be in vogue in Lords
burg on and afterJune lst. The
Lordsburg automobile dealers
and garages have initiated a
system of Strictly Cash, on and
after the date above mentioned.
There will be no exceptions to
this rule. Cash must be payed
when gasoline, oil. supplies,
storage, repairs, etc, are obtain
ed. There is no 30 day credit.
Patrons of the garages are
reminded of this through their
signed statement.
The automobile man is forced
to this action owing to the siren
uous credit system imposed upon
him by the manufacturers. He
is up against it" with the man
he deals from and must obtain
cash for his goods or go out of
business. 1t is not that the gar
ages dislike to extend credit but
it is a case of being forced into
a disagreeable action. There is
no alternative othe%than a cash
basis.
1t is further agreed by the
garages that all accounts now
outstanding shall be declared
payable at once.

Sewerage System
For LOrdsburg

One of Lordsburg's most needed
improvements is nearing a realiza-
tion.
Practically all the funds needed
for the construction Of sewerage
system in the business part of town
has been subscribed and plans and
estimates are now being obtained.
As contemplated the sewerage
system will run west on Second street
from the Leahy corner to Main
street, and out Main street from the
Leahy corner to Leahv street, and
out Main street to good drainage
point north of town. All the busi-
ness houses in the business part of
town and many residences could be
connected up with the sewer.
Nearly 100000 has already been
subscribed to the company organ
lied for the purpose of erecting and
maintaining the sewerage system so
there is little doubt but that within
three months time Lordsburg will
have tins valuable asset.

Mystery ShrOuds Muir
der Of ThOs. Lyons

The police of FL Paso are still
working upon clues as to the murder
last Thursday night of Thomas
Lyons, well known land owner on the
Gila river near Lordsburg. Every
trail is being run down but still mys
terry shrouds the brutal murder OF
this prominent Grant county citizen.
The rewards for the capture of his
assassin or news leading to the cap
ture now amount up to several thous
and dollars.
Thomas Lyons, president Of the
iila Farm Company, Grant county's
largest individual land owner and one
Of its most prominent citizens was
foully murdered in FL Paso Thurs
day night. The body, with crushed
skull and many other wounds, was
discovered Friday morning in a ra-
vine in the Highland Park section of
that city.
The evidence of a struggle were
plainly visible and bruises and cuts
upon his knuckles indicate that the
assailants, whoever they were, had
not accomplished their foul crime
without fight Mr.. Lyons, though
63 years of age, was powerfully
built and in splendid physical condi-
ton. Complete Identification was
made by A. f. Kerr, former president
of the American National Bank at
Silver City, and f. c. Knollenberg,
formerly of Silver City.
The small amount of money which
Mr.. Lyons carried was missing indi-
eating robbery as II motive for the
crime, but his valuable gold watch
was still in his pocket The El Paso
police appear TO be baffled and have
no clue to the murderers.
Mr. Lyons left Silver City at ,
o'clock Thursday for FL Paso the OBJ
iect of his visit being to close deal
for 900 head of young cattle with a
Mr.. Brown who was in Silver City
within a week or so. lie took with
him just sufficient money to pay his
expenses on the trip.
From the time he left the train at
the FL Paso depot about 1880 all
trace of him is lacking until his mu-
tilated body was found in an outlyina
section of the town. lie did not reach
any hotel. The supposition is thai
Mr.. Lyons was met at the depot OF
got into a taxicab and instead of be.
ing taken to his hotel was driven tC
the outskirts of the town and there
murdered. His grip was found neal
the body but there was no indication
that anything had been taken from it
Efforts to establish the identity ol
the Mr. Brown who was negotiating
with Mr.. Lyons for cattle and whom
he went to FL Paso to meet, have beer
unsuccessful at this end. 1t seems
assured that he was not a well knOwr
cattle buyer and not one to whom Mr.
Lyons had previously sold cattle. Tn,
price which had been tentativel!
agreed upon by the two was $87 pei
head which is considerably above tht
regular market price at this time.
