We learn from the Mining Industry sf Denver that arteslau we'll boring IS now sort of mania in parts of Neya- da, and some of the borings are prov ing successful. A fine flowing well was struck few days ago Tn Douglas county, Carson valley, at depth of only BIO feet, and without encounter ing rock of any kind. Improved bor- ing machinery has been ordered from the East, and we may expect to see the experience gained in inc Ccmsteca mines, in feeling ahead" for water, brought into play, By tunneling into the mountain that forms the rim of the basin of Lake Tahoe, very large supply of water might be obtained, and as the diamond drlll will easily bore ahead 1000 feet or more, 1t would be an excellent tool for use in tunnel
 ing for water. In ease of striking a strsng few, several hole, could Do sent into the source, thus saving the cost of driving forward a large tun- moi. Many great bodiss of water have bseu thus tapped and drawn off in the deep workings of the Comstock. In the Union Consolidated mine cocks were fitted into the diamond drill holes and the water drawn of as it could be taken hy the pumps. Inrun- ming the Sutro Tunnel the diamond drill was sent ahead to tap shafts in which water had accumulated 10 the depth of several hundred feet Good hits were nearly always made with the drill, though it was sent ahead great distance.

Mexico Field for American Enterprise

Engineering and Mining Journal, It is well worth our while to make efforts to cultivate closer commercial relations with Mexlco. The resources of that country in mineral, agricultu. ral and natural products are lmmenss, though but little known or apprecia- ted by our capitalists. The railroad traffic returns for the past half year show that the aggregate increase in traffic receipts of the three principal railroads in Mexico, viz, the Mexican Central, the Mexican National and the Mexican (Vsra Cruz hne) amounted to $1, ,050,G00 over the corresponding pc riod m 1887 This IS good showing, especially when we consider that the National consisted of disjolnted sec tioas, and the Mexican Central only opened its long and valuable Guadala- lara branch, connecting with city of about 100000 inhabitants, in May of this year. The National will be com plsted within few days, and will connect Monterey and St. Luis Potosi, both prosperous and important cities of about 10000 inhabitants each, with the capital, so that we can safely look forward te a still further increase in the receipts of the railroads and great er business activity.
 Vexatious custom-houso regulations and fines for their infraction are uu doubtadly two real obstacles to wide commercial intercourse. Moreover, a knowledge of the language of the country and of the ways of the people is here, as elsewhere, indispensable te successful trading. President Diaz and his government are well disposed towards Americans, and anxious to promote American enterprises. ltre- mains for us only te take advantage 3t the inducements offered m the rlch- mass of tho country, its nearness 10 us and thls friendly feeling towards us, and to increase our business interests in the country where, indeed, we should have greater influence than other foreigners. As it Is, much more English and German than American capita! is in the country, in the pur- chase of lands, mines and various in- dustrial undertakings, and under the present satisfactory political condi- tions there can be no doubt that the development of the country, and in crease in values Of all kinds, will be much more rapid and greater in the next four years than they have been in the past twelve.
