NEW MEXICO,

The Lahoma Copper Company, of
Tucumcari, authorized capital $l,500,-
900, filed articles of incorporation with
the state corporation commission.
1t is announced from an authorita-
tive source that the Chino Copper
Company, of Grant county, disbursed
s2,174,950 on Dec. 81 to stock of rec
ord Dec. Is, being a regular quarterly
dividend of $3.50 and an extra 81.
Rumor that the old smelter south OF
Socorro, which in its time made Soc
orro one of the leading towns in
New Mexico. is to start up again has
been persistent here for some time.
Mining interests in the vicinity have
been picking up lately and more ore is
being shipped than in years before.
The application of the flotation pro-
cess for the separation Of minerals
from ores seems to have solved the
difficulties that have beset the mipers
of the Pinos Altos district and since
its application so successfully to the
ores of the Cleveland group, renewed
activity has resulted in the whole
Pinos Altos district.

A small shipment of silver ore was
made from the Shouldn't Wonder vein

On Battle mountain, Cripple Creek,

FLY HAS ITS OWN TROUBLES
Naturalist Says Problems Of Life Are
ProportionateIy the Same In
Every Stratum Of Life.

To the naturalist or to anyone ac-
customed to observe nature closely,
the fact Is apparent that the problems
OF existence are proportionately the
same In every form or stratum of life
Even the common house fly, which
seemingly has nothing else to do but
to crawl lazily over whatever Is left
uncovered and then go happily on Its
way. doing its best to bring about an
afiiliation between the clean and the
unclean, occasionally meets its nemesis
In the form of tiny erablike creature
which attaches itself to the fiy's legs.
These little creatures are known to
the scientist as pseudo-scorpions, or
chelifers. They may sometimes be
found between the leaves Of old books
that have stood unused for long
time, and also beneath the bark of
trees and in mosses.
Although they are called false scor-
pions, they resemble the true scorpion
closely in general structure except for
their minute size. But they have no
poison gland rs the true scorpions
have. They attach themselves to other
insects also, but they seem to be the
special pest of the house flies. Scien-
lists suppose that they seine the fly's
leg and hold on until the fly dies,
either worried or frightened to death
by the undesirable presence. When
the fly Is dead the little creature feeds
on the body.-Popular Science Monthly.
