the suggestion of the child welfare
department of the Woman's club at
Las Vegas. Pupils of the Douglas

tie of milk daily, and those at the
Castle school about 100 bottles. The
milk is served to the children at re-

sold at cost, in one-half pint bottles,
with straws with which to drink.
Careful record will be kept of the
weight and mental progress of the
pupils to determine If the milk
lunches, at the hungry time of day
when the youngsters are likely to
eat cheap candies are not a step in
the proper development OF boys and
girls.

What is described as the richest
silver-lead strike that has been made
here since the early SOS is reported
by DR.. S. s. Warren on the Silver
King claim in the Waterloo group in
the Tres Hermanas, when he uncov-
cred an o~utcrOpping about 40 feet
wide right at the grass roots during
the past few days. The recent rains
had washed away the covering of
earth and left the ore veins exposed
right on the surface.
DR.. Warren has concluded a lease
of the property to G. II. Gage, who
has started a shift of men working,
clearing away the remaining earth
from the ore, and it is expected that
within a month the first car of ore
will be shipped through Columbus to
the Ell Paso smelter, where there is
an insistent demand for this class of
ore at present. The present prices
on silver-lead ore are such as to en-
courage the maximum development
in mines bearing this class of metal,
and the prospects for the men who
are working the new strike are said
to be excellent. The showing made
by the new ore body is said to be
the best that has ever been struck
in Luna county.-Deming Headlight.
