done md am sure that the Department

SCHOOL DISTRICT TO HOLD
SPECIAL ELECTION MARCH Is

Froid Tribune: Notices have been
postedbv the clerk Of Froid School
district No. Is calling for a special
election to be held on Saturday, the
18th day of March, for the purpose
of voting on the question of whether
or not said school district shall issue
bonds in the sum of $4,000, same
to be used in building an addition to
the present school building and
equipping same with steam heating
plant, etc.
The school population of sthis dis
trict has entirely outgrown the pres
ent school building which has for
some time been wholly inadequate to
properly accommodate the attendance
and to carry on the school work to
the best advantage. Next year more
room will be required to meet the
several different branches of school
work that will be added. It's up to
the district to provide more room
and better facilities and the only
way to provide these necessities is t.
Issue bonds.
A mass meeting was called by the
school board last Saturday night to
talk over the matter and to hear
protest, if any, but as no one ap-
peared to offer any complaint against
the bond issue it is expected that
The matter will have clear sailing.

LEGAL MAN SEES BIG REVIVAL FOR
 SILVER IN N. M.

The present high prices of silver together with the improved method of handling low grade ore is causing a wide revival of silver mining through New Mexico.
 This was the report brought back yesterday by Fred T. Bragonier of the Arizona Mining Congress. on his re- turn from a months trip through the state. MT. Bragonier visited central New Mexico, the Oscuro mountains, Silver City, Pinos Altos and other camps.
 He declared that old properties which have lain dormant since the early sos are being rehauled and put in shape for examination with a view to working them again. The Chloride Flats property on the outskirts of Silver City was cited as a good ex- ample of this.
 MT. Bragonier said that R. L. Wright of Silver City, and Joe Star borough, well known to Bisbee min ers,. were planning to reopen and work property known as the Bridal Chamber near Lake Valley, whica promised well.
 Shippers were already working. he said, around Lake Valley and Kings ton.
 The opportunities for mining even low grade ore by the improves, methods made the revival look profit. able, MT. Bragonier declared.

Fined and Sent to
 Jail For Threat on
 Life of Young Girl

Luis Crus, Mexican miner, who was arrested Saturday night for threaten ing the life of Miss Anita Esques un- less she married him, maintained in Judge Norton's court yesterday that possession was nine points of the law" The court after hearing a num- Der of witnesses held differently and sentenced Crus to a $15 fine and ten days in jail.
 The man insisted that he had lived with Miss Esques as man and wife for two months in 1917 and produced two witnesses to corroborate him. The girl, her mother and brother denied this, saying that Crus had merely been boarding with them.
 Miss Esques, a decidedly pretty member of the Mexican colony, told the court that Crus had been poster ing her with his attentions and an moving her by threats. t
 The court favored the lady's story to that of the Mexican trio.
