Let Everyone Back
A Commercial Club

That proposal to provide Lordsburg
with a thoroughly up-to-date, proper
~ financed, wide-awake commercial
club or chamber of commerce is
something which ought to interest
every person in this community. If
this town is to be anything at all. if
II IS to realize all of our hopes, if it
IS to make the most of its opportuni.
ties, it can achieve these things only
through growth, not of the boom and
bubble sort, but of the gradual, GER
tain and secure kind that makes for
stability and strength. There are
some, no doubt, who are content to
let nature take its course to the end
that this growth may reveal itself
the course of the next thirty or fifty
years. There are others, however.
and among them the Liberal, who
would fret under any such slow
process of evolution. These have
under consideration the formation of
a commercial body made up of far
seeing, alert men who have the best
interests of the community at heart
In their judgment, the growth of IN
town can be accelerated by intelligent
exploitation abroad. There are many
stories of Lordsburg, which once
told, will induce other forward-look-
ing people to come here to live There
are stories of the mines, the livestock,
the railroads and the outlying coun-
try just coming. into its era of agri-
cultural development. And one of
these stories reliably told will be of
interest to someone elsewhere who
looking for a place to locate. To-
getber, these stories would make val
liable volume. And absolutely the
most economical and best way to
publish that volume and to circulate
it is through safe and sane, efficient
commercial body. Let's have it.

Ore as high as $50 and 500 per ton

shaft is 26l II. deep with four levels
and over 100 #. of lateral work

main vein at the bottom Of the No

Engineering and Mining Journal
Gives Camp Valuable Publicity

Is Lordsburg on the mining map?
Well we should guess yes. For
instance, in the issue of March 81 of
the Engineering and Mining Journal
of New York City with which is
combined the Engineering and Min.
ing World), Lordsburg is given the
feature position in a two page illus
trated article on the progress and
growth of the Lordsburg region.
The article was written by Faris V.
Bush Of this city.
The treatise deals with the progress
of the Lordsburg district in general
touching on the production of the
camp, description of active proper
ties, brief history and concise infor-
nation of general value to those in
terested in the mining industry. The
publication and excellent position
given this article by the famous
Engineering and Mining Journal is
certain to bring the Lordsburg dis
trict into the limelight before the
kind of men mining publicity should
reach.
The writer of the article has
an apology to make to mine OPP
orators and owners in the local
camp who were not mentioned.
In the original manuscript every
mine and prospect in the local
field was given a description but
the editors of ihe Engineering &
Mining Journal eliminated many
parts leaving only data pertain
ing to the more important pro-
ducers in the camp. The geolo-
gy and mineralogy, which wonld
have occupied about a page and
and which was the study and
work of two years time was al
so omitted in order to give the
article the first position.

Final Orders Issued
On Fence Removal

Relative to the tearing down of
fences on public lands before April
18th, the Western Liberal is in Ie-
ceipt of the following communication
from B. H. Gibbs, chief Of the Santa
Fe Field Division The article is self
explanatory:
Department Of the Interior
To interested parties;
In re-circularized telegram from
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office of the 31st ultimo, follow
ing is letter therein referred to:
'Mr, B. II. Gibbs,
Chief of Field Division,
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Dear Mr.. Gibbs:
Relative to the unlawful fence and
inclosure situation in the State Of
New Mexico, ! am in receipt Of a
copy of a resolution adopted by the
New Mexico Cattle and Horse Grow
crs Association at their annual ;on-
vention at Albuquerque during the
present month, in which it is urged
that the date of April 10 for removal
of all unlawful Enclosures on public
lands, as fixed in my letter Of Jan
uary %, 1917, be set ahead for at
least ninety days. It is stated IN
support of this petition that many
stockmen made contracts for delivery
Of cattle from May | 20 June 10, and
that the removal Of the fences on
April Is will allow the cattle on the
various ranges to become mixed and
thereby cause delay in delivery us
per contract; also that thay will be
unable to gather the cows and young
calves for proper feeding and care;
also, the owners of small herds will
suffer inconvenience and loss by rca-
son OF their cattle becoming scattered
among larger herds so that they ran
not be gathered and held fol delivery
as per contract. | am also in re-
cCIpt directly and indirectly of sew
cral letters from interested parties,
and particularly from bankers, Who
complain that the removal Of the IN
closures by April 10 will operate 10
impair the security given ror numcr-
Gus loans.
Notwithstanding the representa-
tions thus made, have decided ncver-
theless that all unlawful fences and
Enclosures must be removed on or be-
fore April Is, the date ixnd IN my
said letter of January -, 1917,
UNLESS a complete map showing all
fences and Enclosures being main
tained by the parties interested on
any public lands, together with con-
necting fences or natural barriers
forming Enclosures, be filed with yo1
on or before April Is, in which case
such fences shown on said maps need
not be removed by that date but may
be permitted to remain until special
orders with reference 20 such fences
shall be issued to the parties main
tanning same. Said maps should be
made with such accuracy as to idcn-
tify with certainty the fences referred
to with reference to the lines of pub
lic land surveys, should be on scale
of two inches to the mile, and be ac-
,ompanied by detailed statements of
interest, ownership and use. Prompt
action will be taken after April 20

Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the
Fee. .

There is an old saying that Mature
cures, the doctor takes the fee," but
as everyone knows you can help
Nature very much and thereby enable
it to effect cure in much less time
than is usually required. This is par
ticularly true of colds. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy relieves the
lungs, liquifies the tough mucus and
aids in its expectoration, allays the
cough and aids Nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition.
