New Mexico,

The big demand for silver mines has
created n boom in the districts around
Silver City, due to the high price of
the white metal and the worldwide
demand to meet the financial needs of
all nations now that peace is in sight.
At the present time there is great ac-
tivity promised in Cow Springs dis

group. The Uncle Sam group of min
ing claims consists of four mining
claims having a length of approximate
1y 6,000 feet upon prominent vein or
lode, which outcrops for distance of
about 1000 feet. The property was
operated during the month of Decem-
ber, 1856, ana January of 1887 by the
present owner, producing about $780,

teams to Silver City, where it was

execute this great task the military

CARE FOR STORAGE BATTERY
Because Of Comparatively Brief Life
1t Should Be Given Good Treat.
ment by Owners.

After a storage battery is fifteen
months old the dealer considers it
worthless. The fact that the battery
has such comparatively brief life at
best. should lead owners to give IL
careful treatment, so as to get maxi
mum service from it. Adding distilled
water to the cells to bring the fluid
up to the proper level, should be done
once week in summer and twice 4
month in winter. But this is not
enough; the gravity of the solution
may not be correct.
A hyd~ometer syringe test is the only
sure method of determining the condI-
toin of the battery. and if the cells
show below 1900 each, they require
recharging. Once every two months
the battery should be taken to the
service station for charging, espe-
cially if the user is doctor or one
similarly occupied, whose car is start
ed and stopped many times each day.

Those who have kept informed on
the great problems confronting the
United States army in the pursuit of
war realize that the question Of trans
portation is one of the most diff
acult ones. It was only six years ago
that the quartermaster department rec
ognized the Importance of motor truck
transportation. and when the campaign
against Mexico was opened in 1916 the
desirability of limiting the number Of
designs became evident.
The United States army bought its
first one and one-half-ton truck as late
as 1913, and by 1916 it had accumu-
lated experience with but limited
number. In that year Col. G. B. Baker,
then chief of transportation in the
office of the quartermaster general, in
vited the Society of Automouve En-
gineers to send representatives to
Washington to confer with army Off
GERS and representatives of about fifty
truck builders, to cooperate in the pre-
pairing of specifications for standard
one and one-half-ton and three
ton trucks. This conference was held
May 8, 1916, and the specifications
were issued in June, 1916. On these
plans trucks were hurriedly purchased
for use against Francisco Villa. This
gave the army the first good chance
to test the usefulness Of motor trans
portation under trying conditions as
they existed on the Mexican border.
Designed Standard Truck.
Shortly after declaration of war on
Germany Col. Bakers staff entertained
hopes of having completely stand
ardized military truck. They pro-
ceeded to have new drawings and
specifications made, including all the
suggestions and experiences recorded
to that date. A number of members
Of the S. A. e. were asked to assist in
the design of the new truck and they
