bia will return to this country some time dur

ceive the ovation he deserves from a city which
he created to his own injury and ruin. Every
step this man took to lift the capital out of the

with L. L. CriItenden and another These
three went to Batopilas last November. Gov.
Shepherd has never left these mines but once
go to Chihuahua. He is coming home i'm
October: Shepherd lives at place
called Hacienda OF san Miguel, where are mills
warehouses boardins-houses Tor the employees,
DC. The buildings are very solid and are
walled. The committee found perfect good or
der and system and constant industry there.
When Shepherd took this property the plant
had only cost about So 900. II had an old three
stamp mill and three arastras. Shepherd had
surrounded by mountains that powders roll
down and break the houses to pieces unless they
are well walled. Now Gov. Shepherd has one
thirty-stamped steam mill and another fifteen
stamped mill, the two having cost under
$2OO,OOO. He has tramway which cost about
$3S, 900; the whole plant now stands at $685..
OOO The assets of the company are reckoned
at S844, 900; the liabilities are about 1919, 900.
Shepherd started i'm with a working capital OF
$15O,OOO. In two years it paid S2SO,OOO In
dividends, having

which was not of durable continuance Much
of the ore also began to assay low compared to
the first ore taken out. Shepherd, therefore
extended his enterprise to adjacent mines
which he found more favorable relatively. He
began to buy and treat the ores of the whole
adjacent region, consequently during 1888 he
had a net profit of 100000. During 1885 it is
expected that the profits will be about 5000, 900.
1t seems that he has four other mines besides
mining properties. The trouble down there is
to get fuel. Wood costs SO cord. Mr.. Elliott
says that over S75, DOC, 900 of American money
have been invested in Mexico i'm the past five
years, and the return is exceedingly small
Everybody admires the country for scenery, but
its realities are uncertain.

tOcrlef.
Five years have wrought astonishing changes
in the physical appearance Of Washington.
The city now boasts population Of over
100000. The most notable growth Of the city
has been in the west end-or more strictly
speaking in the north west end. It IL but a
few years since X street marked the limit, to
the north, of the fine streets. Now elegant res
licences line street after street beyond, almost
TO the end Of the alphabet Where stood shant-
les, now stand lines ofpalaces. A few years
ago Stewards Castle and the British minister's
residence were about the only imposing land
marks on Connecticut avenue-the avenue
which stretches from the White House TO the
northwest boundary. To-day mansions that
tell OF bOundless wealth and inexpressibly
beautiful and varied in architectural design
stretch along this grand avenue on either side,
its entire length. The wealth Of the country
is coming more and more to seek investment
In Washington real estate. Retired million

ments for residences, In the winter months es-
pecially, than any where else In the United
States. It is at this season, however, that this
city of magnificent distances Is deckcd out
in its most attractive array. Its numerous
parks and circles, with their rich foliage repre-
senting many climes are veritable powers OF
beauty. The Paris OF America lies on the banks
Of the Potomac.

The Stand-Pipe Should be Look ed
After.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
You will increase the already felt gratitude Of
the citizens Of Washington for your crusade
against the happy-go-lucky officials responsible
Tor the purity OF our water supply by forcing ON
their attention the fact that there is most pro-
found difference between the Potomac water
that passes through the stand-pipe at the head
Of 18th street and that delivered directly from
the distributing reservoir. The water delivered
20 the people of the northern portion of the city
rom the stand-pipe Is positively putrid, both in
smell and taste, whilst that coming from the
reservoir direct is endurabie, If not pure. The
stano-Pipe or nsh traps at the pumping house
need cleansing. The matter demands fmme-
date attention, and therefore 1 ask the good
ofnces OF THE STAR to insist that prompt action
be taken by the proper officials.
Respectfully, RKE

The case Of the people versus the Commits
0oners ana the water supply OF this city is sur.
prisingly simple. The former do not want to
drink nasty water, even If the nastiness is not
rs yet sufficient to endanger health. They
expect the Commissioners to exhaust their
powers 70 reduce the pollution to a minimum,
and furthermore expect them to bring the
subject to the attention Of Congress- If
they have not now both authority and
iunds enough to remedy the evils COM
planned OF. No stable wash or sewage ought
70 be permitted to dow into any affiuent OF the
rotomac, and we trust the subject will engage
Inc attention Of Congress next winter, and that
provision will be made for at least one patrol
man, whose duty it shall be to examine the
river through Its whole length, so that early
knowledge may prevent possible danger.
