Gen. Luis Herrera, until re
cently Carranza's military gov
ernor of Chihuahua, has renounc
ed Carranza and joined the Villa
forces and taking with him 2,000
troops.
From 1913 to 1915 Gen. Luis
Herrera was one of Villa’s bri
gade commanders. He with his
brother, Maclovio Herrera raised
a brigade in southern Chuahua
that gained much prominence in
Villa’s early campaigns. After
the death of Maclovio Herrera,
and the subsequent reverses of
Villa, Gen. Luis Herrera deserted
and joined Carranza. The peons
in this section are loyal to Villa,
which accounted for his ability
to successfully withstand Porfiro
Diaz’s rurales for eight years.
It is feared that more of Car

CINNABAR VEIN IS FOUND
Sutherlin, Or-, March 22. —A
rich vein of Cinnabar ore has
been discovered in the upper end
of Sutherlin Valley, and near the
vein followed by the old Non
pareil Mining Company more
than 40 years ago. The new vein
is said bv local mining authorities
to greatly exceed in richness the
ore of the abandoned mine.
Samples have been forwarded
to assayers in San Francisco.
An effort will be made by local
people to bring in outside mining
interests. Little difficulty is ex
pected in opening up the new
mine, since quicksilver is report
ed to have advanced to 10 times
its value betore the war.

the boy to his parents on their
