A WALL STREET STORY.
The Union Pacific Has Hot Secured
the Short Line.

The New York Financial Chron-
icle says: Regarding the reported
control of the Oregon Short Line
and the Oregon Railroad & Nayiga-
ton companies by the Union Pacific
through purchase Of . majority of
the stock of the Oregon Short Line,
we are authoritatively informed that
there has been no change in the sit
uation regarding the Oregon Short
Line stocks since the Union Pacific
reorganization acquired, some weeks
ago, the block of stock amounting
to $8,46O, 600, from the trustees Of
the collateral trust mortgage of
1891, securing Union Pacific gold
note IS. While this block of stock
gives the Union Pacific a prepon.
derating holding of the Short Lines
stock, of which the total is Salts
600, it does not, we are informed,
give that company q majority in
terest, nor is there any intention TO
disturb the Oregon Railway & Navi-
cation company voting trust, which
runs until 1906. The Importance
of preserving the independence of
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company as terminal in the inter-
est of three companies, Union Pa
cifc, Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, is thought to warrant the be-
lief that no one Of these companies
will attempt an independent con-
troll"

The Birth of the Greater" New York.

With the dawn of the new year the
Greater" New York is ushered into the
world full grown giant. The problem
OF municipal government is to he put to
the supremest test. Within its limits is
contained population equal TO that Of
thirteen OF our sovereign States ut our last
census, and as numerous rs that of the
original thirteen States. Provisions for
the life and heath Of this vast multitude
OF all nations and climes is an unsolved
enigma. Thousands of sufferers in New
York and elsewhere are wrested from the
grasp of that agonizin2 complaint, rheu
m.tism, by the timely use OF Hustetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is preventive OF
malaria and kidney complaint, and
curative OF liver complaint, constipation
and nervousness.

Nexican Mining Laws.

Our readers may be interested in
the mining laws of Mexico. When
. man in Mexico desires to prospeo,
he obtains q right to do so by FIRST
securing from the land Office an
exploration which consists of 2, 600
square meters Of land. The notice
for application for such exploration
is Published for three months in
the Official paper and an extra
month is allowed for filing and hear
ing Of adverse. Each exploration
is divided into claims of about 1888
square feet. If no contest 10 en-
tered the application is forwarded
to the city Of Mexico and an abso-
lutte title 10 issued to the applicant
which holds good as long as the
taxes are paid upon the land. The
tax levy 10 $40 per year upon each
claim, payable quarterly. For fail
ure to pay taxes when due fine of
30 cents per claim is imposed for
the first months arrearage and i'll
not paid before the expiration of
the second month the holder Is fined
the amount due for the entire quar-
ter. Failure to pay taxes at the
end of three months the holders
title is forfeited and the land reverte
to the government. The land can
not be relocated until so declared
by the government and notice given
in the official paper. A lead cannot
be followed outside of the boundary
line of the exploration. There are
no fractional mining claims, and
in order to secure small but desir-
able piece of ground it is necessary
to apply for full exploration and
pay taxes upon the same. To in
here and operate in Mex
leo it is necessary to translate the
articles of incorporation, bylaws,
plans, ETC., into the Spanish lam
guage, forward the same to Wash
ngton for the signature of the sec.
retary of state, thence to the City
Of Mexico for the approval of the
government officials and thence to1
he land Office of the district in
which you propose to operate.
