MILESTONE MAKING
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS

The first is the milling or crush
inc plant, where several ilardinge
Ball Mill Crushers are now beng
installed. They are OF a special
kind. known as gyratory crusners
The plan is TO transfer the hne-
" crushed ore to the fotatior
plant where it will be treated by
what is known as the Simpson
process.
The machinery is on the 9rounf
and ready for installation except
a few small motors. They expect
to have the plant in operation
about April lst.

A 400 Ton Mill in Course OF
Construction.

The Bluestone Mining and
Smelling Company's property Is
a very busy place again Last
spring they made so many big
improvements to their property
and they shipped so much ore TO
the Mason Valley Smelter that
other smaller properties could not
be served. Now the company is
erecting a large hotation plant
large enough to handle 400 to ooO
tons daily. There are already
completed two large buildings
connected by a transfer system
and about one hundred feet apart

the hotation plant the ore is elevat
ed SO that once more a downward
course carries it to the point of
concentration, where it is ready for
shipment. The engineering ar
rangements are simple in general
plan, but worked out with great
care so that electricity and gravity
do the work of hundreds of men
and horses.
The spirit OF the place breathes
prosperity and success. \ num-
Der of cottages have been erected
for the men with families, and the
boarding house and cabins are all
in good condition, in harmony
with the neat homes and the we'll
kept and commodious offices. The

that when the new plant is operat
ing there will be an output OF lzoN
tons daily.
This large output is possible
with the number OF men employed
about 150 in all departments, be
cause the gravity system has been
so consistently and successfully
applied. Through a long tunnel
that runs under the glory hole
cars pass to the loading point an'
are filled from what appear to be
preat bins by simply opening the
chutes. The ore is then hauled
out bv electricity, mile, perhaps
and dumped INTO large pits, at the
bottom of which there is another
tunnel where the cars are loaded
Tor the smelter, as before. From
near this latter point switch is

ROOSEVELT

The Banner, printed at Nashville,
Tenn, under date of October &c, lit
orally takes the hide off Of Roose-
welt in the following editorial:
Theodore Roosevelt would be thor
oughly Disguised and generally voted
a pestiferous bore if his continued
criticism OF the President didn't come
so patiently of personal pique. Under
the known conditions he is more than
the country should be called upon to
tolerate.
Assuming the guise Of a burning
patriot, he selects a time when there
should be a common spirit of patri-
otto unity to attack the President
in the important work he has in hand,
hand, attempting to stir up dissatis-
faction and produce disorder. No pro-
German in the pay of the Kaiser could
do more to fulfill the German desires
in respect to America than Roosevelt
is doing IN his constant carping. He
is no. hedged about with any special
exemption that should permit him TO
do and say things that would put other
men in Jail he ought to be suppressed
His cause of complaint is that the
President didn't make a special in
fraction of the selective draft law for
his individual benefit. He wanted the
opportunity to pull off some pictur-
esque stunts in Europe that would have
made the country ridiculous while lie
flattered his vanity and gave oppor-
tunity for future play in politics.
Roosavelt's friends in Congress man
aged to get a clause put into the draft
law which permitted the creation Of
one volunteer division if the President
chose to permit it, but the President
did not so choose, and that is the sole
ground of the Colonel's disquiet and

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS OF
NEW MEXICO is HELD UP

The L. S. Highway Council. whose
function as n government agent is TO
pass upon each separate highway pro-
ject throughout the forty-eight sepa.
rate states, has for the present with
held approval Of all construction in
New Mexico, involving Federal Aid.
This releases funds set aside for the
Montoya-Tucumcari Project, which was
the first project to have been accepted
by the Federal Government from New
Mexico, and project agreement exc
cuted June %.
The county funds released will be
applied to the following Improvements:
San Jon Cap.
Ragland Cap.
Montoya Cap.
Nara Nisa-Rosebud Road.
In order that the Ozark Trail may
be maintined until the State Highway
Engineer and Federal Aid Department
at Washington shall consider its con
struction, which will be as soon as the
country's period of reconstruction per
mits Of the essential transportation
and material being applied thereon,
the Road Tax Of $500 per nan is to
be collected in Tucumcari. Mr.. +. c.
Beebe has charge of this, and it is
planned to have a road patrol from
Glenrio to Montoya, to keep this main
travelled road in shape.
The last few days has demonstrated
the need of a good road to the plains.
Many teams have been here from the
wheat country and four or five car
loads of seed wheat have been haul
ed out by the farmers. 1t takes a half
bushel of wheat to plant one acre of
ground. If the ground planted this
fall will average ten bushels to the
acre, this will mean twenty times "a
much wheat produced. Hundreds of
teams will be required to market the
wheat. This means that the town that
offers the best market will get the
wheat provided the roads are put in
shape to haul big loads. The road
from Tucumcari to Ragland is the d.
rect line and if this road was given
attention il would mean much to the
farmers as well as the merchants.

continual crashing Of the teeth II
would not matter how much he nursed
his wrath IL he did not constantly an
noy the people with his malice and
thereby do injury to the country's
cause.
Roosevelt makes many professions
of patriotism and public spirit but
he is without any real guiding prin-
ciple and is utterly self-centered.
He betrayed his personal friends
and the political party that had hon
ored him in the endeavor to get the
exceptional honor of q third term in
the presidency. To do this he organic
ed a new party composed of his per-
sonal following, and then betrayed it
in the next campaign when he found
il could no longer serve his personal
ends.
He turned from n semi-Socialist
following of men like Raymond Rob-
ms and William Allen White to Elihu
Root and Boise Penrose.
When he was President he was much
flattered with eing told that in tenn
permanent he resembled the Kaiser.
He once said in characteristic vein
to the then German Ambassador at
Washington. Count Spec o Stern
berg: "Specky, old boy. you tell your
boss when | get off the job I'm going
to see him." and he fulfilled the
promise. He s. ent to Berlin and was
entertained by he Emperor who took
him &c witness a military drill, in all
of which he affected to take the pro-
fessional intero t of n soldier.
In his latest outbreak attacking the
Presidents fourteen principles he
criticises Mr.: Wilson's use of the word
associates" instead of allies, in speak
ing Of the powers with which we are
joined against Germany. The Presi-
dent uses the only term proper in
formal diplomatic correspondence.
We have no formal alliance with any
of these countries and they have none
with each other, except the alliance
between Great Britain and Japan and
that between Great Britain and Por-
tugal, both of which existed before
the war began. Everybody knows that
there was only an entente, that is. "A
cordial understanding, between Rus
STA. France and Great Britain when
the wal began, and the countries later
entering the war assumed the same
relationship.
Roosevelt further says: ave ought
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1918-11-14

to make it clear to the world that we
are neither an untrustworthy friend
nor an irresolute foe" We did that
at Cantigny, Chateau Thierry and st.
Mihiel, and continue 20 affirm it on
the battle front while this carping
fraud of Oyster Bay froths with NAL
evidence at the President and is will
ing to injure the country's cause to
wreak personal revenge. In this same
outbreak he also says:
We ought to declare war on Tur-
key without an hours delay. The
failure to do so hitherto has caused
the talk about making the world safe
for democracy to look unpleasantly
like mere insincerc rhetoric While
the Turk is left in Europe and permit
ted to tyrannize over the subject peo-
pie the world is thoroughly unsafe for
democracy.
IL he has read those same fourteen
principles which he was essaying to
criticise he would have found there
in this stipulation:
The Turkish portion of he present
Ottoman empire should lie assured n
secure sovereignty, but the other
na~tionalities which are now under
Turkish rule should be arsGrel an un-
doubted security of life and absolutely
unmolested opportunity Of autonomous
development, and the Dardanelles
should be permanently opened to a
free passage to ships and commerce Of
all nations under international guar
antee.
War was not declared on Turkey
because it vas unnecessary fiom n
military viewpoint and would have af-
forded the Turks excuse for murder
ing the American missionaries and de-
~stroying the property, churches and
schools, Amer 'an religious bodies have
built there.
Roosevelt is the supreme fraud of
the day. What troubles him most is
the international eminence the Pres
ident has attained and the prospect
that he is about to be the central
figure in concluding a peace that all
the world except Roosevelt, the Kai-
ser and the immediate following Of
each will applaud.
