The Southern Pacific has at last, it
seems, determined to invade the Santa
Fe's southern California territory. The
Los Angeles Express is authority for the
statement that line will be built from
point on the main line in the CoIorado
desert to San Diego at once. Such a
move is likely to open up war of rail-
road building which may reach much
farther than southern California and
affect the entire west.

MEXICAN MINT LAW.
A Change WIN ms, Made on July l
II VIII Encourage Home Industry.


Washington. june 1l.-Mr. c. l..
Tompkinson. an American resident Of
Mexico, who is Interested In mining
there, and who is In this city at pres
ent, In explaining the new regulation
concerning tue taxation Of mines In
that country, said today that u grow
out OF the fact that the Mexican gov
ernment had recently decided to re-
sumo control OF the mlnts. II appears
that the mlnts have for the past sew
eral years been laahd 10 private lndi-
viduals, who while Ihey nave charged
n mintage tax, hav6 put II On n some
what different basis from that proposed
by the government. The charge for
mining gold has been at most i-2
per cent, while the government has
collected in addition a tax OF 6i-iO0 Of
l per cent, making in all tax of over
o per cent TO be paid by Mexican mine
owners having their ores coined Into
money IN Mexico while those who
sent their products 70 smclters either
In Mexico or the United states escaped
the payment of the government tax.
The government upon resuming control
OF the mints on the first OF July next
proposes TO levy a uniform tax nf S
per cent on the gold and silver contnin-
ed In all the ore mined In the country,
without regard to where II " located.
The change. said Mr.. Tomitinson. Is
. the greatest fairness to all, and while
1t Is probably intended 10 encourage
home Industry, no one can really md
In II legitimate reason for complaint.
Those who have been actuated BY this
change to send their ores to the McXi-
can mlnts will find no material differ-
ence, and what difference there Is is
In their interest.

LIVERPOOL BLAMED.

The cotton market opened steady at
decline of points. This was be-
cause Liverpool showed sales OF only
5000 bales spot cotton and instead of
advancing as expected, actually show
ed some loss on the future list, which
was taken to mean that the English
cotton trade had not been frightened
any by the bureau report. The mar
ket pursued an irregular course. fluo-
tuaung. however. within. narrow
range and closing steady at unchanged
prices to a net decline of 3 points To-
tai sales III 900 bales. 1t was a great
surprise to the trade that the bureau
report failed to alarm the Englishmon,
There was some improvement in the
later advices from Liverpool which pri-
vate cables attributed to the report
that Mr.. NELL was coming out with
bullish circular on cotton crop. There
was no confirmation OF this report up
10 the close and II was set down as Il
canard. The Indifference OF Liverpool
has not puzzled the local bulls and not
few OF them weakened this after
noon and with this liquidation Of long
interest caused the market TO sell on.
