 terested in New Field in Canada
 W. P. Gee, formerly of Morenci but at present living in Saint Paul, Minn., writes to the Copper Era this week regarding new gold field in which he is interested in Canada. MT. Gee says that he has just returned from the new gold strike. He and his associates are owners of thirteen claims in a wonderfully rich district. They have lead twenty feet wide, gold bearing, in quartz and porphry. runs all the way from s1.00 to the limit Considerable work has been done on the claims sufficient to justi- fy the erection of mill which will be constructtd this winter The only method of transportation from the railroad is over the ice for a distance of 200 miles, Nothing can be done this fall in the way of prospecting but MT. Gee writes there will be heavy rush in the spring. There is a vast territoy for miles and miles that never has been visited by human beings from the eastern part of Saskatchwan across Manitoba to Cobalt in Ontario.

RECEPTION FOR METcALF
 SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
Friends of MT and Mrs. Rathbun Bid Them Farewell at Metcalf High School Building.

The reception given on the 18th inst at the Metcalf High School for MT. and Mrs. F. D. Rathbun was great success. Notwithstanding the rain up to the hour of the reception, a large crowd of friends was there to make the evening pleasant one and to express regrets at the departure of the Rathbuns from Metcalf. During the two years MT. Rathbun has been here as superintendent of the mines he has become very popular with the Metcalf people who have appreciate his cooperation in everything for the benefit of the town.
 During the war drives for funds and bond sales Metcalf's unusual success was largely due to MT. Rathbun's ef- forts. In the departure of MT. Rath- bun Metcalf looses a loyal friend and a patriotic citizen and the people of Metcalf regret the necessity of wish ing him farewell.
 The music for the reception dance was most excellent and was furnish ed by the Adams orchestra from Clifton and the committee, composed of Mrs. Williams, Mrs. E A. Sprigss and Mrs. c. H. Farnsworth made a complete success with their refresh nents.

Secretary Live Stock Sanitary Board
 Tells about Brands
 For the benefit of many Greenlee County cattlemen who are more or less confused in regard to the re- recording of their brands as required by an act passed by the last Legis- lature, the following paragraph is quoted from a letter received from E. W. Stephens, Secretary of the Live Stock Sanitary Board, this week:
 'When it is impossible for cattle owners to secure chain of title to their brands by filing bills of sales conveying same, the only thing to do is to let the brand revert to the State and then after the expiration of the re-recording law, Dec. 19, apply for it as new brand, which will cost $500 Same will then be adver- tised and if no objections are filed it will be recorded as desired.'

INVESTIGATING MEXICO

Without criticising the provision of a committee charged with the inves- tgation of conditions in Mexico, the New York Times asserts that the committee will be dominated by man (Senator FalD who is an avow- ed interventionist and who by public speech has advocated an American army of 500,000 men, ostensibly for policing Mexico or for the invasion of that country. The Times also speaks of Senator Mark Smith, an other member of the committee, as a man representing border sentiment.
 We do not agree with the Times in it's mild criticism of the member ship of the committee and believe that there are no two men in the Uni ted States senate better qualified to uncover all facts relating to Mexico conditions than Senators Fall of New Mexico and Smith of Arizona. Both of these men have resided on the border for more than a quarter of a century and during that time have become acquainted with the charac- teristics of the people of Mexico, which will have to be taken into ac- count in any recommendations for the establishment of orderly govern ment there.
 If the attitude of President Carranza is to be taken as reflection of Mex ican sentiment then this country may expect to have any offer of friendly assistance rejected to the bitter end. The people of Mexico have many times manifested their belief that their country must work out it's own destinies and that other countries must patiently await for better things while this process of promoting or derly and responsible government is being worked out.
 It would not be expected by those on the border and acquainted with Mexican sentiment that an agreement could ever be reached by which the United States would be permitted to intervene in Mexico to render what ever assistance might be necessary to afford protection for foreign lives and foreign interest. Such an un- dertaking would me resisted by what ever force yet remains in Mexico and the bringing of the country to Ia forced agreement for such intervention would be an undertaking which would require several years to accomplish, costing many American lives and vast sums of American treasure.
 Even the appointment of the sen- ate investigating committee has brought forth some expressions of resentment in Mexico and it is to be regretted that there is a lack of con fidence in Mexico of the friendship of the United States. This country sesses and only has desire to have a government in that country that will be strong enough to eliminate the bandit gangs which have in the past been responsible for the many out rages committed against Americans and their interests in Mexico.
 The senate committee has been charged with mission and duty which is fraught with the gravest responsi- bility and we have no doubt that largely on the result of their investi- gation will be determined the future relations of Mexico and the United States.
