digh Average OF Gold Ore Produced for
the Tarros and Rosario.
In official publications of various
governments attention has been called
recently to the mining districts of Mex
leo, which are described as richer in
gold, silver and other metals than the
Australian, North American and African
fields combined. Some American min
ing engineers have claimed that the
southwestern portion of the state of
Chihuahua contained enough precious
ore to enrich every citizen of that provi
ince, provided the mines were worked
with modern appliances and improved
American machinery.
Investors in this country have been
slow to place money in Mexican mines,
simply because some Of the companies
organized to develop them were engi-
neered by persons who were either IN
known or professional promoters The
progress of legitimate enterprise, how
ever, has been gratifying TO investors of
moderate means who expected to re
ceive profitable returns within reason
able length OF time. Perhaps no other
Mexico-American corporation has been
more successful than the Gold Mill Min
ing company of Mexico. corporation
under the laws of Iowa.
The properties are located in the
southwestern corner Of the state OF
Chihuahua, in the Sierra Madre noun
tains, west Of the continental divide, be-
tween the Fuerte and Sinaloa rivers, on
the Pacific slope, and only 500 miles
from Ell Paso, Tex. They include the
Tarros and Rosario gold mines, La Bufa
group, the San Jose group and the San
Juan group, embracing 70 silver and
gold claims of recognized value. -Four
railroads are projected through this
country. one being now under construc-
ton. The stamp mills of the company
are located at Rosario, 12 miles from
Baborigame, the post office, and the
smelter is at San Jose de Cruces.

THE WILD HORSE TO-DAY.

Breed Discovered In tbs DEuAgsrian Dss-
ert L. Interesting.
In the present relationship between
the man and the horse undoubtedly
there is change due TO the bicycle, and
50 We are becoming under less obliga.
tions to animal locomotion. It ia, how
ever, the old form of horse which ia
again coming to the front Perhaps the
general reader, not a specialist, has be-
come somewhat tired reading of the
original four-toed horse, as his fossil
remains are found in Kansas. and how
in time he gradually changed until he
became the single-hoofed creature, can
ceiling bis earlier toe formation. It il
the true wild horse, as he may exist to-
day, that we have been looking for. The
fret find Of him, some years ago, was
questioned. Anyhow, the creature was
called equas prjevalsiii. and in a re-
cent Journey the Russian explorer
Prjevalsky hunted in vain for him in
Central Asia in the desert of the Hashun
Cobb. Recently the two travellers G. e.
and n. 4. Grum Grzimaiio have come
across wild horses in the Dzungarian
desert, and they succeeded in shooting
two of them. As to their height, they
stood some las meters, were possessed
Of a stout back and chest. and with the
neatest and trimmest of legs, as clean
as those of race horse The head was
heavy, with an abnormal width of fore
head. The tail had it's pecuharities,
being parti-coiored. taking the hue OF
the coat Of the horse above, but black
underneath, and not long-haired. The
coat was scsnt, somewhat curly, but
that might have depended on the sea
son. One marked point was the pres
ence OF side whiskers, long. stiff hairs.
extending from the ears to the chin.
One thing these animals did was to ad.
here TO the custom of our present
horses. for they neighed, whereas the
wild ass brays. The Grzimailos say
that though the Mongols occasionally
capture foals they never have succeeded
in domesticating them - Harper's
