SAYS RIO PLATA MINES IN
CHIHUAHUA FREE OF TROUBLE

I'VE have never had any trouble at
our plant at Rio Plata, 20 miles from
Chinapa in southwestern Chihuahua.
nor do we anticipate any said H.
W. Miller, at Hotel Sheldon en- route
to the silver mine Of which he is an
officer and part owner. None of our
property has ever been destroyed and
disturbed. or our men molested- We
had an American engineer at Rio
Plata until he was ordered out by the
United States government in 1915.
After spending a long time in Mexico.
he came back 10 the states and was
drowned in California, which seems a
little like the irony OF fate.
Howard Squires went down for US
in April last year, and on his recon-
mendation We made the repairs oc-
casioned by disuse and decay, and
have resumed operations, to the point
Of shipping some concentrates. We
took S1.500.00O from the Rio Plata,
and believe there is more there"

COWNEN WOULD
FIGHT MEASURE
Selling of Lands Without
Protecting Lessees Would
Hurt West Texas.

Bill introduced IN senate putting
all university lands on market at ex-
piration OF leases without protection
OF lessees and without pay for i'm
provements."
This was the exact wording Of a
message sent Wednesday by senator
C. B. Hudspeth to his partner, =. ].
Harper. The message was sent before
the bill was amended Thursday after
noon, when most Of the features OBJ
jected to were eliminated.
W L. Amonete, secretary OF the
Panhandle and Southwestern Stock
mems association, said Thursday that
Texas would fight the passage OF the
bill as originally introduced
Good Only for Ranches.
He said that the opposition OF the
stockmen's association is based on the
fact that the lands in question, all
being in the deep water country, are
valueleSs for any other purpose than
as ranch lands. and that the present
lessees have spent large sums of
money in developing water 1t would
be unfair to dispose of them and al
low no compensation for improve
ments, he said. Among many in
stances where the proposed policy
toned these nearby ones, Mr.. Anon
EFT said.
Three Who Are Affected.

acres in FL Paso county and immedi-
ately started improvements, building
and drilling wells. one OF which is

ands Of dollars in improving the tract

Hudspeth counties, paying 100000 for
It, and the lease has only about three
years to run Stonebreaker and Sny-
der have Lore than 100000 acres each
in Culberson county, improved with
numerous deep wells, expensive pump
ing machinery, fences, houses and
barns.
Would Snap Up Rest Tracts.
IF these large holdings were cut up
into little tracts" Mr.. Amonett said.
the areas Immediately around the
wells and including them would be
snapped up. while the rest would lie
idle, worthless"

Buchanan. OF Bell, amends the land
laws in several respects. The bill. as
introduced. provided for the placing
on the market Of all university lands
at the expiration Of present leases
without protecting the lessees for i'm

The bill also as reported favorably
by the committee eliminates entirely
from the land laws the three years
actual settlement clause and permits

ated west of the Pecos, the Dill
changes the law so that a purchaser

the purchase price in cash, and the
rate Of interest on deferred payments

As the bill now stands, no reference
is made to university lands
Opposed by Cattlemen.
