The Mexican mining law ia pi,

The Mexican mining law is giving
American miners some trouble. This
law requires that every mine shall be
worked by six men twenty-six weeks
each year or the title is invalidated.
There are sharks there of the Mexi-
can variety known as Jumpers" who
find abettors in the local authorities,
and who readily seize any technicali-
ty as an excuse for holding the
mines. The San Jose de la Balena
has thus been seized, and this seiz
ure has been the cause of complaint
to the department of public works.
The federal government will soon
wake up to the necessity of clear
understanding between Mexico and
the United States on International
questions.-- Las Vegas Optic.

A Proclamation by the President.

The President has issued the following pro-
clamation, dated November 1:
1t has long been the custom of the people of
the United States, on a day In each year espe-
cially set apart for that purpose by their CHIEF
Executive, to acknowledge the goodness and
mercy of God and to invoke his continued care
and protection. In observance of such custom.
l. Grover Cleveland, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and set apart Thurs
day, the 25th day of November instant. to be
observed and kept as a day OF thanksgiving and
prayer. On that day let ali our people forego
their accustomed employment and as ,embie in
their usual places OF worship, to give thanks to
the Ruler OF the Universe for our continued
enjoyment of the blessings of tree government,
for a renewal OF business prosperity throughout
our land, for the return which has rewarded the
labor OF those who till the SOIL and for our pro-
gress as people in all that makes a nation
great. And while we contemplate the infinite
power OF God in earthquake, flood and storm,
let the grateful hearts OF those who have been
shielded from harm through HIS mercy be
turned in sympathy and kindness toward those
who have suffered through His visitations. Let
US also in the midst of our thanksgiving re-
member the poor and needy with cheerful
gifts and aims, SO that our service may, by
deeds OF charity, be made acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
