1t cannot be denied that Rock Springs
is dull when compared with other days.
The mines are not working more than
half time. This fact remains, however:
Coal, known 10 he the very best and
needed badly to the East, West, North
and South, remains in i~nexhaustible guam
titles. There are a number of mines not
belonging u the Union Pacific. and most,
il not al of them, are being worked.
There is the Sweetwater c%ompany's
mines; the Van Dyke mines; Mr..
Ludvigsen's mines; the Rock Springs
companY's mines; the Black Buttes mines
and others. The writer could not see
the managers OF these various mines and
so did not learn what their output was,
but it Il considerable. Geo. Young owns
and operates a mine. He and a boy,
with the aid of n team, gets out and
market FIVE and six loads Of coal a day.
1t is worth 81 a load.

gives Rock Spring a population of 3, 700.
Electric lights are used. The plant

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. h.-The Pea
yuRe's San Antonio, Tex, special says:
Under orders from the government a de-
tail OF United States officers have made
an inspection OF the Mexican railway lines
and coast defenses. They found them
both much more thorough than they ex-
pected, and the coast works in particular
are progressing with notable rapidity.
One of the officers said today: For some
time past. as L am creiitably informed,
President Dlaz has been calling the gov
ernors OF the different states to the CAPT
tai and comforting with them. This pro-
cedure has been unusual and much COM
ment excited. The fact is, President
Diaz leaves shortly for France. where he
will remain some months. The fact of
his intended departure is known to only
a very few persons, and they are of the
highest circles. The country is not SO
quiet as it should be. The Sandoval
revolution last summer demonstrated that
the insurrectionary spirit still exists. The
departure of the president Is almost Ger
tain to be followed by trouble in one place
or another, and for this reason the cover
nors have been in consult alton with him.
Diaz holds the republic with iron grasp.
but when he is In Europe it will necessarily
be relaxed. 1t is certain. however.
that any attempt at rebellion will be
speedily crushed. The administration
has toe large an army and with the pres
ent facilities for transportation the sol
diers can be modified u rapidly to per
nit a successful revolution.

him very harshly for drawing So, 7OOfrom
the state while finding fault with sala-
RES of $4,000 paid to professors in the
university. It then gives brief biogra-
ply Of Wells designed to show the ex-
tent OF his education and the degree OF
egotism of which such man must be
possessed when be presumes to criticise
the scholarship of professors in the State
University. The state superintendent
should read these articles with view to
taking a hint from them. He is not de-
void of mental strength, but he should
be more intent on remedylng his own
shortcomings than pointing out those he
fancies he has discovered in Others.
