nil in Zacatecas, and that of Zomlahuacsn, In the
| state of Vera Cruz. The richest Of these mines
In the present day are those of Mazapi, which
produce from 1000 10 5000 quntas year.
| IRON.
The principal veins OF this metal discovered up
TO the present time are to be found in the States
| of Mexico Guerrero Michoacan, Durango, Jalis-
co, Oaxaca, Puebla, and in the Territory Of Teak
Gala For its extraction there are several found
res established as that Of San Rafael and Mira
flores, near Texcoco and Chaco that of Guada-
lupe, close by Zacualpam; that of Santa Maria,
two leagues from Atotonilco, and also various
others in other points Of the Republic.
Respecting the other mineral productions, there
do not exist any data in respect to the quantity
annually extracted therefore it is not possible to
decide on their annual value. Nevertheless, TAX
ing into consideration the little Importance they
have up to the present, we may be assured that
| including quicksilver, copper andlron, the amount
would not exceed 81 900, 900, which sum added 10
that of the gold and silver, the result is that the
total product of the mines Of Mexico IS over $780,
600 900 annually
| VALUE OF REAL ESTATE.
By report presented to the Government by the
general Office of contributions, the last year, 1t
appears that the number of estates in the country
is $4,000, the value of which is estimated at
s72O,OO0,OOO, and the value of city property is es
| tmated at $685., 00O, 900. The result is that the
whole of the real estate of the Republic is reck
oned to be worth l,355,O0O,OOO.

Special Correspondence OF The Tribune.
MEXICO, Dec. l6th 1880.
The extra session of Congress closed with the
usual grand flourish. on the 18th inst.
On the LIST proximo. the ordinary session will
begin, and on the l5th Gen. Arista will take the
Presidential chair. This will be the commencement
of q new epoch in the history of Mexico, toward
which all are looking with bright hopes, expecting
that under his Administration there will be inter
nal peace, confidence in the Government will be
estored, more liberaity will exist, and that con.
sequenty business will revive, and the country
prosper.
The grand question asked by every one is
What will Gen. Arista do? Some are of the
opinion his first step will be to avail himself of
the accumulated riches Of the Church, applying
them to the necessities of the Government, and
reestablish the Army. Others,-and, strange to
say great number of the wise people of Next
co-believe he sciH Immediately delSOer the sohole
country over to the United States This would
not be such an easy matter as they suppose; bat
it might be done, l believe without much resls
tsnce on the part of the Mexicans. Such is the
encouragement and indifference of the great mass
of the population, he may do whatever his mind
may suggest, without much opposition. On the
whole, people have but little hopes Of his doing
much good This little confidence is the result OF
their having been so often deceived, and so long
oppressed but should he be able to maintain do
mestic peace, the great desideratum for Mexico
the rest of the evils will remedy themselves
This is ell that is wanted and after eight or ten
years of internal peace, Mexico will find herself
in a most Hourishing condition,-her people the
happiest in the world.
On all sides everything appears favorable for
peace. The Army, as bad 1t W as, suffered 1t has
disappeared. Those that composed it have dis
covered better ways of getting living, and the
country enjoys the benefit Of their industry. The
people, on their part, have found out that nothing
has been gained by their internal discussions, but
much lost and are therefore disposed for con-
tinuance of internal peace, and stability OF Gov
eminent Under these circumstances, therefore,
| cannot but look forward with the greatest ex-
pectations for q much better state of things In
Mexico.
The instructions for aiding the application otthe
new law for the regulation OF the interior debt,
have been published. They are, like most things
that emanate from the pen of MIR. Payne, Interim
nably long, and appear to me to be sufficiently
complicated; like many of the attempts of this
people to explain and simplify rather serve 70
confuse the matter more.
Much dissatisfaction was caused on account Of
the short space Of time allowed the creditors to
elect their Representatives In the JuWd. Inc
Manifesto of Mr.. Payne to that effect required
them to be elected on the 9th lnst.-the same not
being published till the 4th In consequence, 1t Is
with much Justice said the Government have VIC
lated the first rules in respect to giving notice, per-
hitting the creditors no time TO choose, but 10 &C
cept OF those persons who are sure TO be selected
where there is mission to be iulhlled, or a post
to be occupied, or a vacancy 10 be hIed. AS 70
Justice, or discernment, there has been none For
egners are interested in this debt; but they have
none to represent themI The JuRtG, or Board OF
Public Debt, have most important functions 70
perform; having many reforms to make In the ad.
ministration of the Custom Houses. There Is not
one among them versed in the business, or foreign
commerce; yet they undertake a business OF
great Importance with which they are absolutely
unacquainted.
The TRAIT de Union, whose remarks have in
part, above quoted, complains bitterly OF the
whole regulation and says that each article, each
line and each expression of it, can serve to write
the ply steal and moral history Of Mexico
Mr. Doyle, the British Charge d Afsires, has
protested against the regulation of the Interior
Debt
There is nothing more said about the Electric
Telegraph. The experiment was tried with sue
cess tbs said, but for some am not able 70
learn, the project, like the famous steamboat for
navigating the Canal between this city and Chaco'
has heen laid aside for the present. or perhaps
