 The operations of the Mexican Ven ture Syndicate Ia sub-company or the Mexican Gold & Silver Recovery Co. in the state of Mexico, are attracting great attention in the City Of Mexico and London. They have acquired property adjoining the famous Espe- ranza mine. recently bonded by Chas. D. Lane and associates of California, for s6,OOO GOO Mexican money. The Venture Syndicate are sinking on their property d three ooinpaf tiii0iiie shaft, full size, with two cages and a pump and ladder way. This shaft Is now at a depth of 200 feet, and at the present rate of progress will cut the ledge in January of February. The Carmen mine, in the same district, owned by the Gold Mines Consolidated tanother sub to the parent company is sinking a three compartment shaft which is now down 470 feet and has developed a large body of gold bearing quartz. A twelve-stamp mill which will use the direct cyanide process, is now in course of erection on the property.
 As an evidence of what pluck and industry with little capital can do in Mexico, there is instanced the property of La Compaiiia Minera Esperanza Annexes, in Mineral del Orc, district of Ixtlahuaca, state of Mexico. Less than three years ago this valuable property was denounced by MT August Sahlberg, well known mining engineer. It is an extension of the great San Rafael vein. He form ed local company with a capital oi $500, GOO, Sahlberg retaining one-third unassessable stock. In the time stat ed the mine has been opened, forty. stamp mill of the most modern des- cription has been erected, good hoistS also an electric light plant and tele phone line, with all the necessary buildings, and since November last regular monthly dividends of ten pel cent. have been paid, with body oi ore developed from which similar dividends can be realized an iDde6 nite period.

4 NEW DEPARTURE.

In announcing myself as candi-
date for the Office of Associate Judge.
have concluded it was proper to
make public statement OF the course
] intend to pursue.
| have for long time thought. and
have frequently so expressed myself.
that It was out Of order for q candidate
to go from house to house soliciting
votes. My opinion is and has been.
that a public announcement that the
person desires to have the Office.
should be sufficient, allowing each
voter to exercise his own judgment
as to whom ne will support for the
place.
If my theory is correct, and I think
tits, It's emphatically correct, when
person aspires to sit in judgment even
in a subordinate capacity upon the
rights or dolngs Of his fellow men. He
should then have no partialities or
prejudices to bias his judgment. l am
not saying this to criticise or censure
what others have done or may do here
alter. The practice OF canvassi1g
from house to house has become SO
Universal, that it is generally regarded
as necessary to insure success. But
we all know, that success does not
always follow canvassing.
There are three aspirants for the
place that am seeking. Two must
be defeated, though they canvass
''never so wisely"
| should like very much to meet
and become acquainted with my fellow
Democrats throughout the county, and
my failure TO do so is not from any in
difference as to the result of the elec.
ton. / shall feel very thankful for
the vote OF every man who feels will
ing to give me his support But
shall decline to make a canvass of the
county for the purpose OF soliciting
votes.
AS to my claim for the support OF
my Democratic friends, shall simply
say, that am Democrat and have
been from my boyhood. Ihaye never
held and never asked for a county
ottce. As there has always been plenty
OF patriotic men willing to serve the
public in an official capacity, had no
reason to expect Office without asking
for it.
There are two and only two essen
tial qualifications needful to accepta.
bly NIL this or any other Office, VIZ.
honesty and capability. / place
honesty first as being Of the most i'm
p'rtance. Without honesty the more
capacity man has, the more danger
o.s he becomes, if disposed to use
that capacity for base or dishonorable
purposes. My fellow citizens can
learn more aboutmy qualifications by
little inquiry, than they can by see
ing me face to face, unless they are
remarkably expert physiognomists.
VIII cheerfully answer anv aues-
ton as to my position upon any sub.
ject, that may have bearing upon
my duties as public official If elect
ed. That answer can be held as a
record in black and white for or against
me as the case may be.
AS to my competitors, have not
one word to say against them. They
are SO far as know both honorable
men. If it were not so, their faults
would not beneht me.

where most valuable results are reach
ed and gwen the farmers through the
station bulletins. Wheat, oats and
potatoes are tested each year and all
new varieties taken, tired and report
ed SO that farmers may be saved the
expense and annoyance Of experiment
ing with worthless seed.
Tests for Nitrogen gatherers have
proven very interesting. Clover, peas
&c, are grown upon plot and when
mature the soil is dug up two feet
deep, the roots gathered, washed and
analyzed and it is thus shown which
is doing the most to enrich the soil.
A sugar-beat test is being made
this season that will no doubt prove
very profitable. Seed was secured
from the U. S. Government and dis
tributed to fifty farmers who will grow
the beets, report the yield and send
samples to the station for analysis. In
the poultry yard they have shown that
the food given the hens may be tested
in the eggs. Many other tests are be-
ing made in the feeding and treatment
OF fowls that no doubt will prove of
interest and value to the farmer es-
pecially in these days when there is
good profit in poultry farming if pro-
perly conducted.
THE DAIRY.
1t is well worth the expense of the
trip to the College to see and hear
about the herd Of Guernseys. Mostly
grades,-only few registered-these
thirty COWS have shown an average for
the past year of over $50 pounds of
butter each. The little COW Ramona
reported last season, has closed her
second year with a credit of over one
thousand pounds Of butter for the two
years. Do our farmers ever calculate
the possibilities of their cows?
Out of this herd of 80 cows, 20 will
be sold this fall to make room for the
same number Of heifers that will come
in during the summer.
The creamery is doing an active
and profitable business. Over two
thousand pounds of milk comes in
daily from the adjoining farmers in
addition to that received from this
station and farm herds. In addition
to the butter produced, small cheese
is being made from whole milk and
the indications are that this will prove
profitable business. 1t requires bu,
two hours to make it and it will ripen
in any ordinary cellar.
1t would not do to omit mention oi
the Milking machine" This is a
simply constructed device that is
operated by man or boy with ease
and milks two COWS in seven minutes
delivering over 20 quarts of milk in
the bucket "as natural as lite.n We
can't do justice to the many things
to be seen at the State College and
must close with the injunction "Go
and see for yourself"

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New York, Sept. 13.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with near months 2 to 3 points lower and the later months 1 point lower to ] point higher. The early decline was the result of unsatis- factory cable neiws at hand when the call started, but latter cables were of a more favorable purport ard the market rallied as the call progressed. While destitute of outside speculative interest, the market showed fairly steady un- dertene at a slight average decline dur ing the forenoon and sharply rallied latter on buying by commission houses. Still later the market developed irregu- Rarity on conflicting crop news and di- versity of views regarding the probable movement. The market closed steady at unchanged prices to a net decline of 2 points.

Grain Letter.

Birmingham, Sept. 13-Thsre was not much support given to wheat today. Below 94 there seemed Ao be a good de- . mand, both from shorts and for long account, and a moderate reaction re- suited from 931a up to 94s. The feeling Saturday was quite bearlsh and there was no apparent change in the senti- ment this morning at the opening, not withstanding the fact that Liverpool did not respond fully to our decline. The belief that liquidation might strike the market kept buyers aloof, and these views proved true. Selling became rife and prices broke sharply. The statis tical news was not as favorable to hold CTS az during last week. Worlds wheat shipments exceeded the European re- quirernents by about 1,900,000 bushels, totalsbeing 9,100.OO0 against 7,319,000 last year. Of this amount America furnished 5,462,000, but there was a slight increase, both from the Russian and Danube ports. In addition India shipped 72,0O0 bushels, against nothing last week and only 5000 last year, so that the sum- mary was really bearish. Decrease in English visible was light, 29, 900 bushels; there was an increase on passage of 560,000 bushels; the increase in the American visible 48,000 bushels, was about what was estimated Saturday. Liverpool closed about 112d lower. Ex port demand at seaboard was reported poor and clearances were moderate, 320,000 bushels. Primary receipts were larger, 1.S52,0 bushels, although ship ments were well up, making total of 1,299,000 bushels. The selling of wheat today, we are of the opinion, has not been entirely for long account. We be- lieve bears have been quite active on that side of the market and the possi- bilities are that the short interest has been greatly increased.

cnffon Letter.

New York, Sept. 1s.-A very dull cot ton market ended with prices practical ly unchanged. Liverpool declined one sixty-fourth this morning. and our mar ket opened from unchanged to points lower. Crop accounts were decidedly poor. and there was little pressure to sell, the local bulls using a storm in Texas as lever and easily ran prices up points after the opening, but they were unable to sustain their advance. January opened at SITS advanced to 6.S6. declined to 6.79 and closed at that figure, the tone of the market being steady. Reports from the south do not get betteE the weight of cotton may cause temporary weakness, but on all breaks weSfavor buying.

are of the most unfavorable character, pae ieularly from Arlzansas, where l. is repof4ed 3. crop disaster confronts The planters. The reports are very general and ytnfavorable from Texas and the gulf Aand South Atlantic states. The infiuence of Mir. Nei1l's estimate of 10,- 900G0 bales stin exercises some infiu- ehceE upon the New York market, but in view of the government report, the reports of the various state departments of agriculture and the advices from our own correspondents in the south of deterioration in the crop prospect, and a probable curtailment of the yield, the unanimity of winch we have never known to be greater, we cannot but feel that the market is entitled to a substantial advance. This is not sentiment. These are cold facts. J. P. MUDD & co.
