More Than $500 Thursday

with a generous response. Up to
Wednesday more than $3.50 had al
ready been raised.
The work was started at a meeting
held at DR. M. M. Crocker's office
Tuesday evening. First the question
of an Independent Organization for
Lordsburg with jurisdiction over
south Grant county was talked over,
and it was decided to take the matter
up with the national organization at
Wash ngton. This organization mat
ter will be taken up later and effected
A separate organization in Lords
burg was thought wise on account Of
the increased enthusiasm that it would
bring, and also on account of the dis
tance from Silver City. But at pres
ent, because of the necessary raising
of the Red Cross funds the present
week, the local workers will work un-
der the direction of the Grant county
Red Cross branch with Headquarters
at Silver City Lordsburg will, of
course, be cred ted with all contribu-
tons made.

Come To LOrdSburg
Celebrate Fourth

Arrangements to celebrate the
Fourth of July in Lordsburg are pro-
ceeding along smoothly and accord
ing to present indications record
crowd will be in the city for the
program of patriotic exercises, sports
and entertainment July and 5.
It is quite likely that the Proctor
Amusement company, which has been
showing in Lordsburg the past week
will return and will cooperate in manw
ways with the committees in charge.
They will be located on Railroad ave-
nue. opposite the Wells-Fargo office.
Thir big merry-go-round, claimed to
be the biggest in the United States
will be a center of attraction.
The horse races are attracting at
tention from outside horse owners,
particularly from Stafford. Two races
will be run; a $50 yard race for run
ming horses, $3.50 and 500 prizes,
and S25 entrance fee, and race for
saddle horses. S100 and $50 prizes.
entrance fee $15. In both races the
conditions are that at least four hors-
es must enter and three start.
The children's entertainment viii
present a numbe of unique contests
and games, and $10O has been ap-
Dropriated for this department. The
barbecue promises to be the biggest
event of all and will be held the ev-
ening of July 4. Besides there will
be dancing and music that evening.
While there will be no regular auto
race, the time contest for autos from
Clifton to Lordsburg will attract
many entrants. They should register
at Pete Reilly's pool hall in Cliff
ton when starting and at the Lords
burg postoffice when finishing.
More than $1,000 has already been
raised for the occasion and it pro-
misses to be the biggest Fourth Lords
burg ever had. Advertising will be
sent to surrounding cities and towns
in Arizona and New Mexico and a
big crowd is expected.

$40 Designations
Within Six Months

Irrespective of the final passage If
the Fall amendment to the Food bill,
passed in the senate and now before
the house, providing that all surveyed,
unreserved public lands in New Mexico
and the other western states, be desig-
mated without further classification as
subject to the provisions of the $40
acre homestead act. there is good rea-
son for believing that the bulk Of
these lands can be classified within
the next six months. according TO a
letter received this week by George
Kelly, local attorney, from Scott Fer
ris, congressman from Oklahoma and
chairman of the public lands COM

think there is any chance to get the
amendments through as they now
stand.
"The Interior department, the For
est service, the Geological survey, and
all the authorities on the subject seem
to think it dangerous to pass such
sweeping amendments. The Public
Lands committee met today with DIR.

illogical survey, Commissioner Clay
Tallman of the General Land office,
and Mr.. A. f. Potter, assistant United
States forester, present, all of whom
were opposed to the amendments sug-
gested, and | don't think there is much
chance that the amendments will go
though.
what we hope to do, however. is
10 give the department some addi-
tiOnal assistance to help them speed
up and hurry along classification of
those lands. Secretary Long submitted
a letter to the public land committee
in which he SAYS he thinks he can

Spur To BOnney
Seems Certainty

That the big copper producing ter
ritOry near LOrdsburg beyond the
famous IS mine in the vicinity Of the
BOnney mine will be tapped in the
near future by railroad, thus making
possible to this section an immensely
increased production of copper, seems
almost certain from recent develop
developments. Both the Southern
Pacific railroad and the A. N Nj. rail-
road company are actively investiFat-
ing th matter.
During the past week Il. l.. Cum
ningham, assistant geOlOgist Of the
Southern Pacific railroad company,
has been making a careful investiga-
,tiOI of the whole territory in the
vicinity Of the BOnney mine. During
the first of the week, II. c. Hallmark,
general freight and passenger agent
from Tucson, has also been here Sc
curing data on possible tonnage that
would originate in the section to be
tapped by spur.
According to a preliminary survey
Of the railroad, the spur would start
from Garry, a small station about FIVE
miles west of Lordsburg. The dis
tance to the No. 3 shaft would be four
miles and the grade not more than
per cent.
The proposed branch of the South
ern Pacific would tap the three shafts
of the Bonney, the Bonney extension
and the Manila ground, the Miser's
Chest, the Nellie Gray mine and the
Cobre Negre, and also the west end
of the big vein of the S5 mine. It
would also be close to the Octo Mining
company.
What the actual tonnage available
for such a spur would be is largely a
matter for conjecture, as development
would doubtless increase if the rail-
road was built However, it is known
that very large tonnage is actually
in sight in the Bonney and other
mines. 1t is stated that 100 tons
per day could be taken out of the
Bonney right at present alone.
Just what Mr.. Cunningham report
will be cannot be known, of course,
until it is made public after being sub
mitted to Chief Geologist Taft and
Pres dent Sproule 1t is understood
however that both he and Mr.. Hall
mark were much pleased with the
showing made.
On the other hand the Indications
that the A. e. NJ NJ. railroad company
is planning to extend its spur to the
So mine on to Bonney, are no less
prom sing
This extension would be, according
TO the survey already made, two miles
long with a grade of less than 2 per
cent 1t would tap the Bonney extern
sion, the Manila, and the end Of the
No. 3 shaft of the Bonney mine.
While definite announcements con-
cerning either railroad spur are lack
ing, the present activity of both rail
roads in sending officials to investi-
gate tonnage and geological prospects
of the Bonney section, together with
the we'll known resources of the land
Investigated, offer great encourage
ment to Lordsburg boosters. To add
to this is the great demand for copper
at the present time, and the ned of the
United States government for addition
al supplies of the metal.
