On July 18th the local county
agents, with livestock men and Mr..
! Starkey, of Morgantown, gathered
at Hinton for the purpose of lend
ing their influence toward the de-
velopment of better breeding of
beef cattle.
The various beef breeds were
discussed according to their breed
characteristics and adaptability.
3 The Aberdcen-Angus was credited
as being the beef animal of best
! confirmation with the high priced
cuts and quality most highly de-
/ velopcd. The Hereford was reco-
gnized as the greatest grazer and
ranger, being able to accommodate
himself to hard conditions with
profit. The Shorthorn was consid-
cred as the dualpurposc animal,
more nearly suitable for the small
and the average farmer.
The average farmer being the
greatest factor influencing the ru-
raj life and history of a country, it
was decided TO lend support and
give strength to the development
OF the Shorthorn breed over the
section represented at the meeting.
Do not understand that other
breeds were Disseminated against
for the Angus under fecd-lot con-
ditions and on the meat block COM
mands paramount recognition, the
Hereford under rugged and adverse
grazing conditions survive any
other breed, but due to the fact
that there is already predomin-
ance of ShOrthorn stock and that
the breed characteristics come
nearer fitting our need, it was
agreed upon to endorse and Coop
crate with the advancement of The
breed.
There are several objects in fav-
oring one breed, namely:
1. The advertising advantage of
having Il section of country de-
vcloping Il breed Of merit as a unit.
:. III assists the Standardization
OF breed characters. Men develop
ing Il common interest are able to
make deeper study and to receive
greater assistance in the matter of
establishing breed characteristics.
5. Breeding stock is always ac-
ccssablc.
, 4. Cooperative buying, selling,
and breeding makes it possible to
secure the best individuals, to en-
JOY ready sales at good prices and
to keep proven primes in the coun-
ty.
.. The educational and fratcrnal
advantages are many, for as we be-
come more informed of our mutual
needs, benefits, and relationships
The more nearly will we approach
a brotberly regard and 'love thy
neighbor as thy self"
q. The cooperative interest de-
veloped will promote better care,
feeding, and management of live
stock.
]. The particular advantage of
promoting the Shorthorn lies in the
fact that it. produces fair flow of
milk as well as creditabIe beef. The
variation between types of the
milking strain and the Scotch type
or the beef producer is not as wide
as found existing between dairy
breeds and other breeds of beef
cattle. 1t will encourage the man
who has only COW or so to pro-
ducc beef calves instead of scrubs
which cheat profits from birth to
block.
On the evening of August 9Th
FOLLOWING the Grcenbrier Country
Horse ShoU there WiH be a meet
ing OF sfockMen from Greenbrier
ana adjoining counties at Romeo
perte Tor the purpose of discussing
and developing greater interest in

Smith worte the local organ ization regarding the demobilization and enclosed a letter from the adju- ;ant generals office in which Fl Paso was designated as the place of dis charge.

These mines were worked by a company several years ago. with the crude methods used in those days. and this. together with low prices of the metals prevailing. and the extravagant means employed, the mines were worked at a loss to the company.
 MT. H:ckok states that he expects to install the latest machinery ob. tainable with a capacity of 24 tons per 24 hours concentrating plant. and the concentrates will be shipped to Fl Paso for reduction.
 The mines consist of seven claims and all claims are mineralized with well defined lodges and there arc at least thousand tons of ore now ready for the mill. The lodges have plenty of tunnels driven at various places to demonstrate that there is at least 100000 tons of ore in sight that will concentrate and pay in val ues of about SIPS per ton of gold. sil. yer and lead.

DRINK OF WATER MAY
 RESULT IN GREAT RICHES


 SAFFORD. Ariz.. March 1.-rhere comes a time in the lives of men when great event brings forth com plete transformation. Some incident occurring to cause forgetfulness of present conditions in the glamor of sudden pros perity, perhaps, or maybe pretty face that causes the hear: to futter, or still i, may be a good meal uncxrectedly served Anyway, strange things do happen at times to change the tide and ways Of men and women. too. and this has jus. acour-ed in our beautiful Gila valley What brought about new thoughts and ambitions and fa1cied riches of the peaceful inhabitants of Geronimo and Fl. Thomas, was the result of a visit several months ago of two men. who, through mistake, took drink 
 out of the salt well, owned by R. S. Knowles, of Geronimo, which is To- cated about ten fee, north Of his store at that place.
 That drink was not pleasant, but the man who indus sed in it. took a second thought when he finally re- covered from the salty taste and took several good samples Of the water. which he packed in his suit case. The men left Geronimo several days later for California, where they had 2 chemist analyze ;ae samples. The result showed that the salt water in krowles' well is the same as that found overlying the famous oil fields Of California.
 Friday he two men returned from California and on Saturday. Sunday and Monday. they were busy secur. \ ing options on all the ranches and lots al and near Geronimo. and also a, Fort Thonas. They have returned again 10 California.
 Their actions aroused the dwellers ir this particular part of the valley so much SO that it is reported tha, the dairymen forgot to deliver their cream and milk at the depot Monday morning, and some Of them even for got to milk their COWS, so engross ed were they in vision of wealth when the sportive and enriching oil comes | oozing from their lands. ! IL is even reported that the owners Of four teams. driving into Geronimo Monday and tying up went of and forgot their teams.
 The wonders of the Ranger oil fields of Texas may yet be duplicat ed at Geronimo and Ft. Thomas and wealth come rolling in to the ia vored ones, and so it has come abou, this great change that makes men for get their earthly duties in the wor ship of Mamnon.

NO COAL IN TOWN WITH

 BILLIONS TONS iN VICINITY
 HOLBROOX. Ariz., March With literally billions of tons Of coal with in less than a hundred miles, the coal dealers of the town of Holbrook were for many of the coldest days this win ter entirely out of that commodity. The word billions is used advisedly fer a L. S. government geologist (Marius R. Campbell in Bulletin 4Sl, Of the U. S. geological surveyl is au- thori.y for the statement that in the Black Mesa coal field. on the Eopi Indian reservation north Of Holbrcok, there is a total of upwards of l4,00o,- 900 900 tens of coal.
 This, of course. cannot be exploited at present, but there is a coal field close to the Apache railway which will doubtless be opened up within the next few months. The Apache Rail- way. which runs from Holbrook 70 miles south. is now nearly completed and trains will be running on regular schedule in about month. IL was built promarily to open up for ex- r,oitation what is said to be the larg- est belt of standing timber in the Uni ted States, but it also runs close to this coal field. which has hitherto been undeveloped for want cf trans portation facilities.
 A group of capitalists is TOW fgur- ing on opening up these coal deposits and their plans TO, only contemplate placing the best of the produc; on the market for fuel purposes. but in c,udes the erection of an immense plant for generating electric power. AS the poorest of the coal-what is known as mine run"-is good enough for the power generating plant. it is figured that the cost of the electricity will be very low, second only to that generated by water power.
 It is expected tha; a ready market for this power. at price which will pay big percentage of profit on the investment, will be found in ,he dir. ferent mining camps to the south and west, and also ina number os sizeable communities along the lines of the Apache Railway clear 10 Holbrook The big and prosperous camps Of Globe and Miami could be reached with transmission line about 75 miles n length. Clifton, to the southeast is also probably close enough to make il commercial proposition to send wire in there.
 The department of the interior, in 1910, withdrew the most of this coal field from entry. but previous to tha, time there had been a nambe- of sec tions located. and these will furnish sufficient coal for the time being al least
 The government Bulletin 43I con ta.ns preliminary report by Dr. Her bert E. Gregory and Marius R. Camp bel which says of the coal in the Back Mesa field: Its quality is equal to if not better than that of the coal mined at Gallup The Indians have been mining this coal for years ss they needed it. and the government schools at Keams canyon and Tuba are supplied from mines close by.
