FROM MEXICO.

A letter received Tuesday by
VIM. Rooney from John Hurley,
one of the recent Mexican emf
grants, is wildly descriptive of
the journey of the party from the
Minnesota ranges to their new
southern home, as also of the
conditions and surroundings
there. The writer states that
snow covered the ground until
the party were within 100 miles
Of Ell Paso, the Texas border
city, and that since arriving at
San Pedro about three inches of
snow had fallen there. He says
that while the weather is com
paratively warm, it is claimed
that a blanket adds to ones com
fort any night n the year.
Mr.. Hurley says the entire
surrounding country is apparent
ly rich in mineral, and believes
there is good chance for pros
pectors to make a strike; that
number of good miHes are open.
ed and being worked in the vi
entity Of San Pedro AID that
American labor is fast suppressed
ing the Mexicans at all proper
ties, but that Americans who
have been there for some time
past seemingly regard the new
corners as intruders.
The tone Of the letter is indica
tive of general satisfaction, al.
though he contends that all mer-
chandise and provisions aside
from meats are high, quoting
beef Az from 3 to 8 cents per
pound, -four and potatoes at Sc. SO
per hundred, tea 81 90 per pound,
ralsins so cents per pound, to-
bacco from $500 to So 90 per
pound, with other commodities
at proportionate figures. but says
the company promises American
prices upon opening their store
sometime the present month.

supreme court and Argued the

the questions is settled beyond a
doubt and that is the mining tax

was unconstitutional and one of
the justices said that he had

THE IRON TRADE OUTLOOK.

The Chicago Times Herald
presents a very pleasing picture
of the outlook for the iron trade
during the coming year. This
is subject in which St. Louis
county takes a particular inter-
est, because the prosperity Of
the iron and steel trade will re-
suit in an increased demand and
better prices for iron ore and,
consequently, the active opera
ton of the Minnesota mines, fur
nishing work to many miners at
good wages and creating i'm
proved tines in all the. range
towns. The Times-Herald as
serts that already the output of
of ore for 1898 gives Indication
of being Is, 100000 tons. or 5000
900 tons in excess of the record
breaker output of last year.
Capt. W. j.. Brown, Of Pickands,
Brown & Co., places himself on
record as prophesying that the
ore output will reach that enor
nous total during the next
twelve months. He adds to his
statement the further assertion
that stocks will be lower with
the opening of January, 1899,
than they are now. Moderate
wages for the laborer and small
profits for the manufacturer is
the shlbboleth with which the
iron manufacturers have entered
the hitherto exclusive fields of
English and German manufact
urers. America is now turning
out so per cent more pig iron
than England and almost double
the Output of Germany, and sell
ing below either country.
It is stated that all along the
line the iron trade feels the tire.

pany must work it's forces seven
days of the week for the next

the depression of two years ago,
the new plan of low prices and
meeting all competition, has
brought the American iron manu-
facturer, his product and the ex
cellent quality of his labor into
great prominence across the wa
ter. Trade figures give ample
proof of the healthy condition Of
the market at present and the
promise that it is to continue.
