THE LOTTERY IN MEXICO.

There is nothing improbable in
the report that the Louisiana Lot
terry is preparing. under new
name, to take refuge in Mexico.
The people of Mexico have differ
ent views on the lottery question
from those that prevail in the
United States, and the establish
ment of the lottery there would be
an issue, not of morals, but OF
money. At the same time the.lot-
terry would be able to do very little
business In the United States. The
matter of postal arrangements with
Mexico would have to be readjust-
ed in certain respects to prevent
the use of the United States mails
for lottery purposes. This should
not be difficult, and the rigid
enforcement of the federal laws
bearing upon the subject would
practically confne the evil beyond
the Rio Grande.

error made by miners is in not
crosscutting more" The miner
sees little feeder" coming into
vein; 1t may be scarcely more than
seam. Or he may see slip"
or "spur," as he calls 1t, leading of
from the vein. 1t like the "feeder"
may be only seam, aud it is con
sidered OF no consequence. There
is the mistake. These "slips" and
feeders" are OF consequence, and
of immense Importance. Often
and often they prove to be ore bear
ing, and not unfreduently they are
the main ore bearing veins. Two
very marked illustrations of the
necessity for prospecting these
things are reported from Gilpin
county. They are i'll the two first
veins discovered in the RocSy
Mountains-the Gregory Bobtail
and Bstes- Hunter. The former
has been worked almost constantly
since 1859, aud it Is probable that
1t has NOT paid any profit for over
rs years. AT a few hundred feet
in depth the vein failed to yield as
rich ore, or ore in as large quanti-
ties as 1t yielded at and near the
surface. Now the report is that
crosscut of Sc feet has opened an
unsuspected vein, or "slip" from
the main vein, which carries good
quantities OF I3 ounce ore. The
claim is that the discovery promises
to make new mine Of tie Gregory
Bobtail. In the Bates Hunter, at
a depth of 800 feet, what appears
to be "spur" or feeder" has been
followed till 1t has opened into a
vein of richer ore than the mine
has had for several hundred feet.
A crosscut would have found this
years ago. Similar illustrations
could be cited without number
