LABOR SITUATION IN THE
WESTERN STATES AS SEEN
BY EMPLOYMENT CHIEES
V.—NEW MEXICO
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.—“Are
you shipping out any men?” This
question is usually the first one
asked by applicants for work who
make their appearance at the em
ployment office of the United States
department of labor, according to
Miss Laura Tulett, acting federal
state director for Xew Mexico.
Since the local office sends out men
to all parts of the Southwest, Miss
Tulett has her finger on the employ
ment pulse of a large region.
‘‘The besetting weakness of men
who apply here for help in getting
jobs,” said Miss Tulett, “is the de
sire to have transportation fur
nished them. It doesn’t matter
much to them where they are sent,
as long as some one buys their
ticket for them.”
While Miss Tulett stepped to an
other room to consult some records,
a large negro entered the employ
ment office.
“Are you shipping out anybody
now, boss?” was his first query.
According to Miss Tulett, there
is no pronounced balance either in
favor of supply or of demand. Both
men and work are plentiful. Some
of the “prospectives,” however, are
said to be captious as to the kind
of work they will accept.
The greatest demand is for com
mon laborers and for house and
car carpenters. Good railroad ma
chinists likewise have little diffi
culty in obtaining work. The poor
est demand is for clerical help,
This is ex-plained by the fact thai
many of the applicants for office
positions are tuberculous, and the
number of such health-seekers in
this state is large.
Two-thirds of the applicants foi
3'J
[work have no trades. Being migra
torily inclined, many of them are
; ready to find fault with any town
to which they are shipped. A,
| Mississippian who had been sent j
to a town in the northern part of!j
jthe state, returned to the employ-;]
ment office a month later and ex- ]
plained that he could not “stay put" j!
because there was only one moving j:
picture house in the place. An- ■ i
1 other applicant admitted that he had j:
! traveled over every state in the1 i
' " '!
j Union during the past year, but had j
'not worked more than two months
' of that time.
Of the 800 persons who have
sought the assistance of the local j
government employment office dur- i
ing the past month, 483 have been I
placed. Most of the others have j
been referred to employers, but for \
some reason have failed to get jobs, j
The Colorado beet fields have 1
drawn heavily on New Mexico un- j
skilled labor. The farmers of this i
state are not making great demands •
for hired help.
Living costs in New Mexico have j

last night with twu bargeloads of
freight and forty-seven passengers
for Xenana.
She also had 164 sacks of mail
and about seventy tons of general
freight which she put out here. She
left the barge Innoko behind, after
having transferred about thirty tons
of freight from it to the steamer,
and sailed at 5:30 this morning for
Fairbanks. She took away the
bargeload of rails, originally con
signed to Xenana, but which was
diverted to Chena for use on the
Happy end of the Xenana-Fairbanks
line.
i There were about fifteen pass
. engers on board in transit for Fair
banks an dthese were joined at this
port by Mr. and Mrs. Hartwick, Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Green, A. W. Heini
burger, Joe Fisher and Joe Ga'ler
man (Jew Joe).

this port were S. R. Capps, S. R.

Captain Adams, of the Julia B,
was in command of the steamer
Alaska on this trip. It is expected
that, later in the season, Captain
Adams will resume command of his
old boat and that Captain Hoelscher,
formerly of the steamer Schwa tk-,
will relieve him in the command of
the Alaska.
The Alaska will probably leave;
Fairbanks on Sunday night on the
return trip to Dawson.

TUCSON, Ariz.—What is believed ;
to be the first clew to the reputed !
buried treasures of the padres of j
the Tumaeacori Mission, built by
Spanish Jesuits high up in the
Tumaeacori mountains, less than;
three hours’ journey from Tucson, [
has been discovered by Frank Pink
ley, custodian of the ruins. It is'
the gateway to the mission cemetery.
From this gateway, it is said, the 1
plans and map3 left by the padres
start to outline the way to the
buried gold and silver.
The Tumaeacori mission was built'
near what are believed to be the
ruins of the one of the Seven Cities
of Cibola. Scattered over the long,'
red mesa surrounding the mountains. |
are large numbers of hieroglyphic j
boulders, which, say the modern i
Indians, Aztecs placed there to mark
the hiding place of another great!
treasure hidden in the neighborhood. ]
This is said to consist of 2050 burro
loads of white silver and 905 burro j
loads of gold and silver.
The entire region is said to sfcov.
evidences of rich mineral deposit,
which, declare those who have -in
spected the mountains, doubtless led
the padres to build their missions.
On the sides of the mountain lie j
the ruins of many dwelings, while!
on the top, carved from solid rock, j
is the Aztec god standing guard |
over the silent city.
Nearby, on a large flat rock, ar•
the stone basins that held the bleed- 1
ing hearts of the victims sacrificed j
to appease the wrath of the stone i
image. Hundreds of these sacrifices j
are said to have been made each
year.
There are five of these ancient
villages in the vicinity of Tucson,
and two immediately across the
Mexican border, in Sonora. Some
