Getting Close Figures.

A newsboy with three of four morn
ing papers under his arm called into a
Woodward avenue jewelry store yester-
day afternoon and inquired
kin you tell me the price of a wo-
mans gold watch-one o. them kind as
winds up by twistin' the knob?"
"You mean stem winder," said the
clerk; 'you can get a pretty good one
for about S60.'
"Jist sixty,"
"Yes."
"And how much for diamond pin
one most as big as a bean?"
"Nell, about $500"
"Three hundred'll take it, will theyr'
eyes"
Thanks said the boy as he backed
out. He sat down with his back to the
wall, figured with pencil on the mar
gin of one of his papers and presently
soliloquized:-
"Three hundred for the pin and sixty
more for the watch, that's three hundred

Immediately nor,h of ii no rivers fit for
the purpose Of navigation, and the
necessity for railways seems more
imperative. Great as have appeared
the difficulties of spreading over this
mountainous region a network of rail
roads for its proper development, all
obstacles are being overcome, and the
Southwest is to have, very soon, a svs-
tcm of railroads commensurate with its
Importance. The observations of Bar
on 1lumbolt have been verified, and
the Mexican Andes will soon support
railways running north and south. II
may or it may not be generally known
that the table-lands of Old Mexico
extend north as far as Colorado, so that
a carriage may be driven from the city
of Mexico to Santa Fe, and even farther
north along this elevated way.
Railroads are even now being built
south from Colorado towards New
Mexico, and it will not be long ere these
elevated railroads will be extended in
to The heart of Mexico. The railroads
of Texas are also being pushed west
ward with great vigor. II is, perhaps.
enough to say what has already been
said ofthe Southwest as to its produc-
ton of silver and gold; but when it is
said that these states and territories also
hold the first rank in the Union in the
production of wheat, barley, cattle,
sheep, wool, and many other commodi-
ties, and that Texas alone is as grand as
the continent ofAustralia, and capable
of supporting a population as large as
that of France, we get a glimmering OF
the possibilities of that section of our
wide country when it shall have been
settled by a thriving and Industrious
people. And lastly, the thought comes
to mind that the people who settle in
these mountains will be a dominating
and vigorous race, as all history shows
men become who live on mountains for
a few generations.
Colorado sits not only on the crest of
the continent, but on bed of wealth.
1t seems now that in the future this
state will be the centre of empire as OF
wealth. And the mountains of the
Southwest shall furnish silver and

Graphing for a Lost Gable.

The "Great Eastern was fitted out
with apparatus which may be likened
to an enormous fishing hook and line,
and was sent to the spot where the
treasure had been lost. The line was
of hemp interviewer with wire. Twice
the cable was seized and brought
almost to the surface. Twice it slipped
from the disappointed fishermen, but
the third time it was secured. 1t was
then united with the cable on board,
which was "paid out until the great
steamer again reached Newfoundland,
and second telegraph wire united the
two continents.
The scene on board as the black line
appeared above water was exciting be-
yond description. 1t was first taken to
the tcsting-room, and signal intended
for Nalentia was sent over it, to prove
whether or not it was perfect throughout
its whole length. If it had proved to
be imperfect, all the labor spent upon it
would have been lost. The electricians
waited breathlcssly for an answer.
The clerk in the signal-house at Nalcn-
tia was drowsy when their message
came, and disbcicved his cars. Many
disintcrcstcd people, and even some OF
the promoters of the cable, did not
think it possible to recover wire that
had sunk in thousands of fathoms OF
water. But the clerk in the little sta
ton connected with the shore-cnd of
the cable of 1865 suddenly found him

uated in the middle of the Atlantic.
The delay aggravated the anxious
watchers on the ship, and second sig
nal was sent. How astonishcd that
simple-mindcd Irish telegraph-operator
was! Five minutes passed, and then
the answer came. The chief electrician
gave loud cheer, which was repeated
by every man on board, from the cap
tain down to his servant William III.

The South westand Its Silver Production


SECOND PAPER.
The next matter of importance in con-
nection with the Southwest is its great
capacity to produce the precious metals,
especially silver. 1t has been said that
gold mines may be quickly exhausted.
but silver mines will last forever: once
silver mine, always silver mine.
The silver product has been very large,
as the following statement shows. The
riches in precious metals dug out of the
earth by the Toltecs, the Chichimecs
and the Aztccs, will never be known, as
the records were burnt up by the con-
quering Spaniards. But from the ma
tional archives of Spain, and from care
full estimates, it has been stated that the
product of the Mexican gold and siver
mines in coinage during the periods
mentioned was as follows: From the
year 1921 to 15IS-S40, 100000 Dur
ing the years from 1913 to lG9O-S374,
100000. And from 1890 to 1904 not
less than 81, 1853, ,452 900. And it is be-
lieved that during the Spanish domina-
ton, to 1904, not less than S2,027 1852,
900 worth of silver was not sent to the
mint for coinage. BY Dansons statis-
tics and estimates. which are based on
the best attainable evidence, and rather
below than above the mark, it is learn
ed that from 1904 to 1913, the period be-
ing prior to the cessions of territory to
the United States, the registered pro-
duct of silver was SjiS, ,334 ,59S.
The territory of Mexico was divided
at the end of the Mexican war. and in
tracing the product of silver it is neces-
sary to consider Mexico and the Ameri-
can new states and territories by them
selves. The Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, in his annual report
for the year 1867, estimates the products
in gold and silver of Mexico alone from
1913 to 1868 at $50 0,000,00 in gold, and
silver at Sl20,000,000. Since 1850 the
mines of Mexico have regained their an
cicnt prosperity, and English and
American estimates, which are based
upon the public records, set down the
annual product of gold at $4,000, 900,
and of silver at $50 ,O0O, 900. Taking
the statement of the Commissioner of
Public Lands OH which to base a calcu-
lation, it must be estimated that during
the period from 1868 to 1873 the pro-
ducts of the Mexican mines have been
as follows: Gold, S3O,OOO,OOO; silver,
S26O,O00, 900. But why this array of
figures? some persons will ask. The
idea to be brought out, and thus rein
forced by figures, is that for more than
thousand years the mines of the South
west have been operated, and have
never failed to enrich the world. But
great as is this contribution to the pro-
gress of the world, it is as nothing COM
pared with the wealth now hid in the
mountains of the far West. The new
states obtained from Mexico are yet un-
developed; yet in their infancy their
products foreshadow their possibilities
i'll the near future. Let us see what
these young states have done recently
in the production of mineral wealth.
Here are the figures showing the money
value of the gold and silver products OF
the following states and territories
| from 1S4S IN 1875.

may see that the influence OF this vast
and constantly accumulating wealth
will ere many years transfer the seat of
political power from the east of the
continent to the west.
The total product of the precious
metals, silver and gold, in the South
west, or New Spain, for the period from
1921 to 1877, was the enormous sum of
S4,Ss7 ,5l2, sos. And probably for a
thousand years before the Spanish inva-
sion. the same territory had given the
civilization of the Toltecs and Aztecs
not less than one thousand million of
dollars more. The production of silver
is much larger than gold. Thus if we
note the proportions we shall find that
taking the period from the invasion of
Cortez down to the beginning OF the
year 1876, II Clio per cent, or nearly
three-fourths, was silver.
In connection with the study of the
matter of depreciation of silver, the
British Parliament gathered some valu-
able statistics as to the amount of silver
produced in the civilized world, no
means of course being at hand to aid in
the estimate of silver raised in savage
lands. BY the figures thus obtained we
can compare the product of silver in
the whole world with the product of a
corresponding period of the South
west, as follows, from 1868 to 1876:
Whole world. .sls2, 10000
southwest. 37s,s37O7s
A number of estimates made from
the best and most reliable statistics set
the silver product of the whole world
for the year 1875, at S77, 200, 900, and of
the Southwest for the same period at
S5S, 1888 ,073.
With ono more comparison, figures
may be dismissed SO far as they relate
to the productions of the precious met
ais. All Mexico as il now stands pro-
duced in silver during the year 1875,
S27 ,0OO, 200, while the silver production
of Nevada for the same year was S2S,
532, ,151. With these statements and
figures in view, the great West looks to
us larger than ever before. The limits
of the present writing do not admit of
speaking "a ertenso of other forms of
wealth-producing elements of that
favored region, such as cotton, Indian
corn, barley, cattle, sheep, wool, silk,
coffee, sugar, and so forth
The subject of altitude is AN impor-
tant one in connection with the devel-
opment of tho Southwest. The mean
height of the four divisions mentioned
below may be set down in feet above
