A MEXICAN LETTER.

Mr.. Ira Campbell of the Eugene Guard
IN writing from Guaniuato, Mexico,
among other things tells the following
of interest to the DEAocRAr's readers:
We visited one of the largest mines,
which has been operated for over 800
years, and is workedsby the same prim-
tive methods as at that time. The
quartz is crushed by number OF large
round rocks probably five feet in diam.
eter, Is inches in thickness and drawn
round circle by mules on bed OF rock.
then the pulyerized quartz is transferred
to another mill and ground by similar
method with water added to -four like
substance. Then it is transferred to
large beds and water Is turned on and q
large number OF mules are usad to
trample the same to settle the silver on
the bottom. This mine employs q large
number Of men and mules. Ii 10 said TO
pay fabulous dividends to the Mexican
owners. II it was worke by modern
methods it would pay wonderful returns.
Americans and Englishmen have tried
Tor years to gain possession of this most
valuable property, but have always
failed, The poems in this mine are pal
10 cents per day, Mexican money.
A theatre has just been completed in
this city at q cost of 100000 II is
most magnificent. 1t is said to excel
any theatre in furnishings in America.
IL has new method of operating its
electric lights recently invented by Edi-
son. Nearly all the cities in the coun-
try have electric light plants operated
by Americans. And right here we viii
say that in Mexico ali franchises are
granted for a term OF not over fifty years
and at the end OF that time they become
the property OF the government. An
Improvement on the American method.
In this city the rich have grand resi-
depees and flower gardens that bloom
the year around. Also large plazas that
are most beautiful. All cities in this
country have large plazas maintained a.
the expense OF the people, and they are
f:equented by thousands of the inhabi-
tants.
