Golden Stories From Old Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO. July 26.-It is pre-
dict d here tina, when the gold placer
mining is developed in the state of
than in the klondyke region. Some
placer mining is being done, with ex-
celient results, and LABOR is cheap and
water abundant, even in the dry sea-
son. One miner, an old Californian,
reports taking out 1000 in gold IN
May, and his average is $4,000 per
month. The Indians in Sonora, who
work in a crude way in the local gold
piacers, only operating when in press
ing need of money, get large returns
for very little labor, and an explorer
who has recently been through the
remOts ST regions states that Sonora
will equal California in its paImiest
DAYS as gold producer.

THE RIO GRANDE DAM.
New MeXicans in Washington Protest
Against the Proposed Treaty
with MaYinn

The following Wa>hington dispatch
in the St. Louis Globe Democrat con-
corning the proposed treaty between
this country and Mexico providing for
the building of an international dam
near Ell Paso is of great interest to the
people of FL Paso:
A numhe of New Mexicans IN Wash
ington, headed by the governor of the
teri tory, Mr.. Otero, called at the
state department today. The purpose
was to file formal protest against
proposed treaty with Mexico about the
Rio Grande river. For seven years
Mexico, through Minister Romero, has
been negotiating a treaty intended to
make clearer the provisions of the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in re-
gard to the river. The use of the
water in the Rio Grande for irrigation
has been a matter of international
contention long time. Mexico has
insisted that the canning of The river
above Ell Paso, in the United States
territory is forbidden by the treaty.
Recently the attorney general or
dered the prosecution of the company
which had begun to dam the river at
Elephant Butte. When the case came
20 trial the judge decided that there
had been no violation of law: that the
river was not navigable stream.
Minister Rom has presented to the
department q first draft OF treaty
which Mexico would like to have ac-
cepted. Against this proposlti n the
New MeXicans entered an emphatic
protest today. They say that, if it is
concluded. il will render impossible the
building OF any am on the Rio Grande,
even as far up as Colorado.
The New Mexican say: Ia this con-
nection it may be remarked, that the
case of the United States against the
Rio Grande Dam & Irrigation com
pauy, which is to be apoealsd from
Judge Bantz' decision, adverse to The
contention of the government, has not
yet been filed for appeal. There sc ms
to be difference of opinion between
the attorneys fer the company, claim
ing that there is matter in the record
not properly bel nging there and L. S.
Attorney Childers insisting that the
record is all rs ht and states nothing
but the facts in the case. The neces-
sary stipulations to bring the case on
appeal before the present session of
the territorial supreme court have not
vet been signed and entered into and
Hon. w. A. Hawkins, principal oOun-
sci for the irrigation company has been
telegraphed to here from Silver City
for the purpose of consultation.

THE calamity shriekers will have to
hurry if they expect to get in their
shrieks about farm mortgages. Dis
patches to that sterling democratic
paper, the New York Sun, say that
farmers in all parts of the country are
rapidly paying off their mortgaged in
debtedness under the advances in
prices of wool, grain, and farm prices
generally, and that with the probabili-
ty of good prices of the farm crops now
being harvested the Indebtedness of the
farmers of the country will be greatly
reduced during the coming year.

A RECENT dispatch from the City
Mexico states that gold placer mining
is being developed on a large and prof.
table scale in the state of Guerrero.
An old California miner is reported to
have taken out $4,000 during the
month of May last, and to have said
that his average is sl5, 200 par month
This is something worth au excitement
for in the mountains of Guerrero the
climate is delightful, provis' ons and
labor abundant and cheap, and water
is plentiful. Men are foolish to rush
off to the north pole for gold when the
metal is plentiful in hospitable and
healthful countries.
