The ren,scr's AnsIophobia.

How little likelihood there is Of either
Russia or France joining Emperor Will
liam in his projected coalition against
England will be seen by the recently
issued official trade reports, which show
that more than 30 per cent. of Frances
foreign commerce is transacted with
Great Britain, n country which consti-
tutes the market for more than third
of the entire production of Frances
industry. No less than 80 per cent. of
Russia's foreign trade is with Great
Britain, which is the best customer for
Muscovite grain; 5oO,0Oo.00o pools go
to England each year, whereas Ger
many takes only 5s.Ooo,oOO pools. 1t is
ridiculous, therefore, to imagine that
either France or Russia would sacrifice
its best markets and subject its staple
Industries to downright ruin solely for
the purpose of satisfying purely per-
sonal spite of the kaiser against his
English relatives.-N. Y. Tribune.

Hard Plant To kilI.

There is a plant in Jamaica called the
life plant, because it is almost impos-
sible to kill it. When leaf is cut off
and hung up by string it sends out
white, threadlike roots, gathers mois-
ture from the air, and begins to grow
new leaves. Even when pressed and
packed away by botanist it has been
known to outgrow the leaves of the
book in which it was placed. The only
way to kill it is by the heat Of a hot
iron or of boiling water.-Chicago

HOPEWELL TO THE FRONT.
Activity in the Mines and Miiis-New
Piacer Grounds Discovered.

Mr.. Edward Henry of Las Vegas, who
has been in the mining camp of Hopewell
for week, passed through Santa Fe on
his way home last evening. He was seen by
representative of the New MEXICAN, and
in reply to the question "What is Hope
well DOING" replied: "Hopewell is not
booming, and does not want to boom,
but everything in the mining way is pro-
crossing in a satisfactorily manner.
Owners of claims in the district are
doing large amount of work, and the
ore uncovered is evidence that good
money is to be made in the mines. The
company operating the Red Jacket mine
and electro cyanide mill, is making gen.
eral clean up at the mill, and express COM
plete satisfaction over the results. Mr..
Ed Sterling will start a cyanide mill in
about ten days to treat ores, and the two
mills are expected to bring the wealth of
Hopewell ores befe~s the public in a
forcible manner.
"The placers are being worked with
success. A new find of placer ground
higher up the gulch has created some lit.
tie excitement in the camp, and nuggets
of good size have been taken from the
new ground. am satisfied that Hope
well is camp of great richness, and
fully believe that the developments in the
next three months will verify the most
extravagant statements that have been
made concerning the claims and mines"
Mr.. Henry is interested with Colonel
Hutchison, also of Las Vegas, in two
claims, the Gold Nugget and the Sickel
and Sheaf, and is highly pleased with the
showing made by the two properties.
