The Foreigner In Mexico.

The Mexican land laws discriminate
very vigorously against the requirement
of land by foreigners who do not propose
to become Mexican citizens, and seem to
be especially framed to prevent any en-
croachments on the part of the United
States. Thus, no foreigner may, without
previous permission of the President of
the Republic. acquire real estate in any
of the border States, within twenty
leagues Sixty niles of the frontier; but
such permission has of late been freely
given to citizens of the United States for
the requirement of ranching property on
the northern frontier. The ownership of
real estate by foreigner in either coun-
try or city, within fifteen miles of the
coast, is, however, absolutely forbidden,
except on the condition of special act
of Congress granting it. 1t is only,
furthermore, through direct permission
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs that
foreigner in Mexico is accorded any
standing in a court of justice. BY the
Constitution of Mexico, foreigner who
purchases any real estate in that country,
without declaring that he retains his ma
tionality, becomes citizen of Mexico;
anu IL Is ulnlCulJ lO see HOW uuuer
such conditions he could prop
erly invoke any protection from
the country of his prior citizenship, in
case he considered his rights in Mexico
to be invaded. Again, the laws regu-
lating mining property in Mexico are
very peculiar. No one in Mexico, be he
native or foreigner, can own mine abb
solutely, or in fee,n no matter what he may
pay for it. He may hold it indefinitely,
so long as he works it; but under an old
Spanish law, promulgated as far back as
1888, and still recognized, if he fails to
work it four consecutive months, with
four operatives, regularly employed, and
occupied in some interior or exterior
work of real utility and advantage the
title is forfeited and reverts to the State
and the mine may be denounced" and
shall belong, under the same conditions,
''to the denouncer who proves its deser-
ton" The denouncer, to keep the prop
erty, must, however, at once take posses
sion and begin the prescribed work
within a period of sixty days. This
practice has one great advantage over
the American mining system; and that
is, that litigation about original titles,
and conflicting claims to mining prop
erty are almost unknown in Mexico

Diving for Treasure.

The English divers and Captain r. F.
Stevens, Lloyd's surveyor, have Just re-
turned from the island of Grand Ca
nary after raising a sum of no less than
500, 900. This amount was lying sub
merged 153 feet deep about mile from
the southernmost limit of the island
Grand Canary. The treasure went down
about two years ago in a brand-new
Spanish steamer called the Alphonso XII.
The steamer had on board e100, 900
worth of Spanish dollars on their way
to Cuba The insurance on the money
was effected at Lloyd's and was paid
over to the insurers after the vessel
foundered.
After lapse of over q year Captain R.
F. Stevens and three English divers were
sent out to Grand Canary to try and re-
cover the sunken treasure. They sue
ceeded in bringing up nine boxes con-
tanning specie of the value of 10000
each, but tho tenth could not be
found and the divers had to come away
without it. The money was in the mail
room, almost at the bottom of the ship.
The decks had to be forced by explo-
sion, and when the mAil-room was
reached the plucky divers had to haul
the boxes from one deck to tlie other
until the top deck of the vessei was
reached. The wreck lay on a ridge of
rock, and one Of the fears entertained
before the explosion was effected was
that the force might precipitate the ves-
sci to almost fathomless depths. For
tunately the fear was not realized, but
the explosion sent to the surface thousands
of dead tish.-PdU Mall Gozette.

Spent $4,000 in Drawing Up Wits

Publication of the fact that Mr.. Charles
F. Woerishoffer had several willo drawn
up by his lawyers within the last few
years, none of which were finally exc
cuted, prompted an old lawyer to say
that Mr.. Woerishoffer's case was by no
means exceptional. Among the lawyers
clients there are at least a dozen wealthy
men and women who order new wills al
most monthly, have great care exercised
in their preparation, and then, day by day,
postpone signing the documents till some
new circumstance arises to suggest still
further changes and new form. 81

For long time we steadily refused to pub
lish testimonials believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means of disposing of their worth
less preparations.
That this view of the case is to a certain ex-
tent true, there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona fde testimonials and determined to use
as advertisements few of the many huns
dreds of unsolicited certificates in our possess
sion.
In doing this, we published them as nearly as
possible in the exact language used by our cor
some cases, so as TO compress them into a
smaller space than they would otherwise
occupy, but without in the least exaggerating
or destroying the meaning of the writer's.
We are glad to say that our final conclusion
was correct one-that a letter recommend
ing an article having true merit finds favor
The original of every testimonial published
by US Is on file in our office, an inspection OF
assertion made above, that only the facts are
given as they appear therein, is true.
buI as II would be very inconvenient, II not
impossible, for all of our friends to call on US
for that purpose we invite those who doubt df
there be SUCH, to correspond with any of the
parties whose names are signed TO our testi-
monials, and ask them il we have made any
misstatements so far as their knowledge ex-
lends IN this article. In other words, if we
have not published their letters as nearly ver-
batim as possible.
