New York, July 2o.-Word from
Washington that the New York National
Guard might be in France in the trenches

mastering in preliminaries of the 90
900 men modified at the various ar

upstate regiments, it was said, would
probably be sent to Spsrtanburg by way
of this city, in order that they might
participate in what is expected to be

NEW MEXICO MINES.
Show Increase in Lead and Copper; De.
crease in Gold, Silver and Zinc.

| NAN@e~ az pSAut anu AAuls
Figures of mine production for the
first six months OF 1917 indicate an ap.
preciable increase in the output of lead
and copper in New Mexican mines but
decrease for gold, silver, and zinc, ac.
cording to reports received from Charles
w. Henderson, of the Denver office of
the United States geological survey,
department of the interior. The Mo.
COLON district, Socorro county, which an
nually produces a large part OF the gold
and over half the silver of the state, has
not increased its output although the
district has been the scene of considera-
bic development work. The Elizabeth.
town district, Colfax county, continued
to ship large quantities of gold bullion
and concentrates, but the Whiteoaks
gold district, Lincoln county, was idle,
and the silver output will be considers-
bly, affected by the idleness of the Cossak
cyanidation mill in the Coehiti (Bandl
district, Sandoval county. Several oper-
ators of the gold-copper district of Orc.
grande, otero county, seem to have left
that district, but other operators seem
to have taken their places. The output
of siliceous and copper ores carrying
gold from Lordsburg district has been
larger during the first six months Of 1917
than for the corresponding period in 1916
The Santa Fe Gold & Copper Co.'S mat
ting plant, at San Pedro, was operated
continuously.
The Burro Mountain Copper Co.'S ia

Burro mountain district, Grant county, !
increased its output. The Chino Cop
per Co, which in 1916 produced from !
crude ore and concentrates combined
total of 1851 900 pounds of copper,
produced l9,225,lll pounds of copper dur
ing the first quarter of 1917, and if the
maintains this rate throughout /
the year, it will produce nearly s0,000,-
900 pounds of copper Considerably in
creased shipments of copper ore were
made from the Magdalena district, and
the shipments of lead ore from the Mag.
ielens have also increased. The high
prices for copper are also stimulating

AUDITING TAX LAW
TO Build SEWERS
IS BEING DRAF TED
CITY ATTORNEY DEDMAN WILL
HAVE BILL READY WHEN
RECESS Is OVER.
ON PLAN OF The PAVING ACT
One-third OF Cost Would Be Paid BY
The Property Owner and the Re-
mainder by the City, Bonds Being
Issued for That Purpose.

Bertram c. Dedman, city attorney,
is busy drafting an abutting property
tax law for the erection of sewers in
Columbia. This is the bill outlined by
Mayor Dedman in his annual message
| to the board of aldermen this week.
The proposed act will provide for
the erection of lateral sewers on any
street of the city, the cost of coz
struction to be paid just as the cost of
| street paving is now paid, that is two
thirds by the property owners who
own property upon or adjacent to the
street to be severed and one-third by
the city, bonds to be issued for the
latter portion just as is done in the
paving of the streets.
The city attorney hopes that a gen
eral act can be passed applicable to
the whole state that will authorize an
abutting tax for sewers, but in the
event that one cannot be secured or
the provisions of the general act
should not be satisfactory to Columbia
the special act will be depended upon
There is an immediate and pressina
Necessity for the sewering of one sid
of South Main street The city board
is anxious to have this street, but can
not do so until the sewers are laid
There are other streets in the same
condition where the paving must be
delayed until the sewevers are laid.
The bill being drawn by Attorney
Dedman will be ready for introduction
in the legislature as soon as the recess
is over.

HIGHT RESIGNS AS
MEMBER OF COUNTY
ROAD COMMISSION
HAVING BEEN INDICATED IN
CUSTER SUIT FEELS THAT
HE CAN NOW RETIRE.
M'KNIGHT TO NAME SUCCt SsOR
County Judge viii Probably Announce
New Member Tomorrow Morning
Who viii Serve Until the Quarterly
Court Meets in April.

Clay e. High, road commissioner of
Maury county, this morning rendered
to Hon. ]. T. Mcknight, county Judge,
his resignation as commissioner, the
same to become effective at once.
There was general surprise expressed
when it became known that Mr.. Hight
had resigned for there had been no
intimation that he would take this
course.
In rendering his resignation Mr..
Hight gave in detail the reasons which
impelled him to take that action. He
declared that he had simply held the
Office during the past year or two be-
cause he did not desire to retire under
fire and having been completely vindi-
Gated in the recent custer suit filed
against him he felt that he could now
retire with justice to himself and his
friends, -.
Mr.. Hight was first elected a mem
Der of the county highway commission
In 1912 to succeed James T. Petty, of
the Sixth district, who resigned At
the January term, 1918, he was re-
elected for the term of three years.
In January, 1916, he was again re-
elected for three years, after one of
the most exciting and bitterest con-
tests ever staged before the County
Court. He won by vote of sixteen to
six. Shortly after his reelection the
light on Mr.. Hight was renewed and
,harges were preferred against him
before special joint committee of the
County Court and good roads associa.
toin. After an exhaustive hearing by
the committee, Mr.. High was exhon.
Grated.
Before the report OF the special com.
mittee had been filed an custer suit
Fas filed against Mr.. Hight by R. A.
Wilkes and others. This suit was
heard by Judge Turner at the Novem-
Der term of the Circuit Court and after
we'll considered and exhaustive opin-
on, Judge Turner also completely vim
dicated Mr.. Hight. Mr.. Nights letter
giving his reasons in full, will appear
n The Herald tomorrow.
