MINES IN MEXICO.
Their Development by a Syndicate of East
ern Capitalists

ern Capitalists.
The interest taken in Mexico by Americans
deepens with each passing month and many
persons are going across the border prospect
ing, and taking over the wherewith of money
and implements to develop Mexican resources.
Among late arrivals on their way TO that
country are Messrs. Caspar S. and w. A.
Butcher, of Philadelhia, who are interested in
properties in the Mexican States of Nueva con
and Coahuila. The first of five brothers.
Butcher, to essay life in Mexico was Dr. III. b.
Butcher, who some IS years ago drifted from
the regular army service into physicians
practice at Candelo, about 100 miles from the
border: Becoming by degrees, interested,
through his residence among them, in their
affairs, and being man of intelligence and
character, therefore trusted by them, he adj
vised with Northern friends and finally sue
ceeded in persuadng them into profitable
business connection with his neighbors. Out
of that movement of DIR. ii. B. Butcher has
sprung one of the best paying solid invest
ments made by American capitalize Can
della Copper Smelling works, the products of
which are altogether consumed in Mexico.
Some hve years ago, his brother,
CaSpar ). Butcher, admonished by
i'll health, visited Mexico, and he, too,
after years stay and the experience by
the Mexican people of his sturdiness of
character, returned TO Philadelphia and formed
syndicate of friends who purchased, under
the title of the Mexican National Exploring
and Mining company, some of the finest mine
properties in the States of Nueva Leon and
Coahuila Among these the Guadalupe, the
Minos Viejas and the Yguana district mines
are already in the hands of stable-moneved
men, who are proceeding, by means of
machinery and intelligent superintendent, to
their proper development
Mr.. w. A. Butcher, who accompanies his
brother Casper on this trip of personal in
spection, is making his first visit to Mexico
and is likely to make a prolonged stay there
tor the purpose of learning for himself some
OF the many excellent investments which that
country is now offering to capitalists.
Mr.. Henry !. Fox, President of the Mexican
National Exploring company, is a member of
the party.

NEW YoBK, Dec. 20.-At the meeting OF
the passenger agents of the trunk lines
to-day, Assistants Commissioner Piersou
presided. They agreed upon the new form
of the ticket to be adopted for reduced
rates, and the form decided upon is one
which will render them less convenient for
scalpers to handle. The also agreed as to
the policy to be pursued IN case the lines
west in the joint executive committees
territory fail 10 conclude favorably, the
negotiations pending, looking to the
restoration of harmonious action between
them and tho line of the joint
executive committee. Although the
Delaware, L~ackawanna & Western
is not a member of the passenger
pool, the representative of that road was
present, and who stated that his road was
willing to go hand in hand with the trunk
lines in the matter of rates. No further
reduction of rates is considered necessary
at present, until the result of the last move
is fully tested.
At a meeting of the standing committee
of the joint executive committee n the
Chicago committee to con-
slider the subject of the
mintainance of the east bound and west
bound freight rates. 1t was resolved that
wherever the authorized through freight
rates are not strictly adhered to, as stated
the commissioner shall give prompt no.
tice of reduction in the rates and on the
articles upon which the rates are moi main
tanned to the basis of the lowest reduced
rates. The resolution takes effect on
December "a. 1t was also resolved
that the commissioner shall pronounce
similar reductions on the resolution passen
on March IL, 1881. notice to be given to
all the roads that are members of the COM
mittee, or those exchanging traffic with
them, that the above resolution will be
acted upon strictly and promptly. The
members of the committee are requested
to strictly enforce the present established
rates. The Trunk line arbitrators, Messrs.
Adams, Gault, and Biddle, again heard ap-
peals to-day, but failed to complete the
work.
