making this preliminary test of the prop.

down in order to increase the present in
sufficient water supply.
The Gold Standards main shaft is now
down about 45 feet and is showing up
big.
1t is reported that the new placer dis
covery, near San Pedro, has turned ont
to be richer and more extensive than it
was supposed to be at first.
The Brydon & Rogers mill on the Tuer-
to arroyo is still grinding away on ore
from the Gold Standard.
James M. Lucas five stamp mill is also
running regularly on ore from his mine.
This mill has been running continuously,
for three years on this ore, stopping for
repairs only.
Mr.. John Creighton is shipping another
car of fine ore from his Saint Candelaria
mine.
The wife of Herman Goodman pre-
sented him with baby girl last week.

don Times Gives His Impressions
As Gathered from An Interyicw
with the President.

London, March 15.--The correspond
ent of the London Times, in the United
States, Geo. w. Smalley, gives the i'm
preston to-day, as gathered from con-
versation with President Mckinley. With
reference to the arbitration treaty, the
president is quoted as saying: "There is
no subject on which I feel more strongly.
abide by every word in my address,"
Smalley adds: HE has very earnest and
strong views as to his duty regarding BIZ
metallism and will do his utmost to pro-
mote and exhaust all means to secure an
international agreement, believing that
prosperity depends upon it. This how
ever does not imply that he is any the
less firm IN his resolve to maintain the
gold standard"

THE TRUTH CONCERNING THE COST OF COM
PILINa THE LAWS.
To the Editor OF the New Mexican:
Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 15.-Sir: Ac-
cording to the articles published in some
of the newspapers of this territory, they
seem to be of the opinion that the COM
pilation of the laws is nothing but q
steal, and for their satisfaction will say
that if the gentlemen who make such as
sertions would only figure little, they
would take back what they say. Under
the provisions of the law which provides
that all except very small number of the
copies of the new compilation shall be
sold at price not less than $3.50, the
total cost of compilation and printing of
the laws to the territory will only be the
sum of $4,000, and here are the figures:

fruit A patient mother. unable to quiet
the pang Of her little one, looked up
and said: "Why don't you come down

This made the moon 80 angry that she
simply picked up both mother and child
and they have been there ever since.
All sailors are certain that sleeping in
tropical moon rays will either make
them cross-eyed or blind. On the Amer
ican vessel 81 Captain, a year or two
ago, a number of the crew, disregarding
the advice Of their fellows, during a
spell of hot weather, slept on the deck
in the moonlight, and soon after went
completely blind in the night, though
they could see as well in the daytime as
ever. The skipper Of the ship reported
the occurrence, and with it made state
ment to the effect that up to that time
he had been a disbelieVer in the sO-called
moon blink. Paul Eve Stevenson re-
ports that he, too, was hurriedly awak-
ened on his way to New York from the
Bahamas with the assurance from the
captain that all sorts of things would
happen to him II he slept in the moon

The Salt Habit,

The use Of salt as a condiment is so
general and so universally believed in
as necessary that we rarely hear word
against its excessive use, but there are
a multitude Of persons who eat too much
salt-eat it on everything, on meat, fish,
potatoes, melons, in butter, on toma-
toes, turnips and squash, in bread and
on a host Of foods too numerous to men
tion. To so great an extent is it used
that no food is relished which has not
& salty taste, and this hides more or less
of the real taste, which is often very
delicate. Now, the amount Of salt re-
quired in the system is comparatively
small, and If the diet has been rightly
compounded very little is necessary.
Some go so far as to discard it's use al
together, but whether this is wise or
not we will not here consider. What are
some Of the evils Of the excessive use
of salt? They are to paralyze the nerves
of taste, or to pervert them so they
cannot enjoy anything which has not
salty flavor, and in addition there Is
direct tax on both skin and kidneys in
removing it from the blood. Whether
the skin is harmed by this tax we do not
know. Possibly it is not greatly in
jured yet we know that few people pos
sess a healthy skin; but it is now pretty
we'll settled that an excessive use Of
salt does overtax the kidneys in it's
removal, and that the great number of
cases of arrangement and disease Of
these organs is due to its use. It takes
only little time to learn to enjoy many
kinds of food without salt, and we ad-
wise our readers to look into this mat
ter and try and diminish the use Of this
condiment so far as possible. We be-
lieve they will be better for it-Journal
of Hygiene.
