The Doctors and the Lawyers Will Decide
Their Controversy.
The annual game Of baseball between
the doctors and the lawyers of Ana
conda will decide their dispute. as to
which of the two classes of professional
men are the champion batsmen and
fielders or the diamond. The game was
to have been played last Saturday. but
owing to the rain storm the contest had
to be passed over. Ii was decided yes
terday that Saturday. being more of a
business day, was not so well suited
for the game as one of the other week
days. 1t was therefore determined TO
play the ball game on Friday.
Both the doctors and the legal gentle
men have been practicing each evening
for the past two weeks and both sides
claim that they are in the very pink of
condition and Fac is as confident of
winning as the other. The game will be
played at the Athleti field and will be
called at $3.50 o'clock. BY starting the
game thus early IL is thought that the
contest will be concluded before it gets
too dark
There will be another baseball game
next Sunday that will probably be a
hummer. 1t will be between the Sham
rocks n a min composed Of the coll
ored men Of the city. 1t will be played
at AIdCOnud LAKE, pdih All Will dOubt-
less afford a great deal of amusement TO
the spectators. as everybody knows that
a game OF baseball played by colored
men is something just a little bit fun-
nier than a circus.

patent from the Interior Department at the City of Mexico.
 Under what was known as the old mining laws of Mexico, 1t was neces- sary to employ two men for at least twenty-six weeks of each year upon the property; but under the new law, the enforced labor clause has been re- pealed and tax of S10 for each per tinentia" per annum has been substi- tuted This includes both "denounce- ments" and patent locations, without regard to the number of "pertineptias" that are held by the individual or com- pany.
 This is not quite all, for the Govern ment still exactS an extraction tax, which is an amount equal to about 9 per cent of the gross product, payable in silver. It is this last named tax that has been much exaggerated throughout this country, and has given many the impression that the Mexican Govern ment was disposed to impose unreason- able and unjust taxes upon foreigners operating mines within her borders.
 On the contrary, large majority of Americans who are engaged in mining in Mexico, while not disloyal to their own country would assure the inquirer that the mining laws of Mexico are preferable to those of the United States.
 The prospector in Mexico is allowed more latitude than ehere in our own States. as no private land holder can deny him the privilege of entering and prospecting under certain regulations to suit the case. As, for instance, if a prospector enter the field of a farmer to prospect for mineral bearing rock or placer diggings, he is not permitted to sink more than thirty feet, which ex" cavation he is compelled to refill if the project is abandoned. But on the other hand. if the discovery warrants the purchase, and the prospector and farm CT fail to agree upon the price of the land, then the Judge of the district, as sisted by two citizens, who are chosen to represent the parties to the transac- tion, appraise its value. For 1t Is writ ten that the farmer must sell to the miner such lands as he wishes for min ing purposes. The same law applies to timber, water rights and mill sites.
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-23

One of the interesting features of mining In Mexico of recent years has been the reopening of the old aban- doned mines of the Spanish padres. Many of these have developed into the most valuable properties of the coun- try.
 Under the padre system the mines were operated by Mexican and Indian peons and generally worked to a water level, with pillars of ore left standing to support the ground.
 The ores were then reduced by either arastras, patios or small adobe furnaces, which process was very slow, and the gold and silver bullion produced was then exported by the Spanish masters to Europe. leaving the yawning exca- vations, the church records and an impoverished people as Mexico's share of the profits.
 After freeing themselves from the rule of Spain. the Mexicans and In- dians of the country turned their att tention to the pillars of ore left by their former rulers, and these for years furnished them occupation. They hay ing in a degree benefited by their eX- perience with the foreigner, reduced their ores by the same slow metallurgi- cal process.
 Mexico is slow country in which to do business. and to and supply it with a milling plant is an undertaking calculated to try the patience of Job.
 Mule trails constitute the roads and highways, and instead of the freight wagons and prairie schooners of the United States, the Mexican freighter utilizes the hurricane deck Of a Mexican burro, and with these little beasts of burden all freight and sup plies are transported throughout the interior mining country.
 An American in this country would hesitate to carry a large quartz mill from San Francisco to Grass Valley, or to the Siskiyous with pack train, but a Mexican provided with a sufficient number of burros, little parched corn and a stock of cigarettes will wade into the transportation business and land

MONKEYS AS ooLD-FInDERs.

Captain E. Moss of the Transvaal tells the following story of the monkeys who work for him in the mines:
 ''I have twenty-four monkeys" said he, employed about my mines. They do the work of seven able-bodied men. Tn many instances they lend valuable aid where a man is useless. They gather up the small pieces of quartz that would be passed unnoticed by the workingmen, and pile them up in lit tie heaps that can easily be gathered up in shovel and thrown into a mill. They work just as they please, some times going down into the mines when they have cleared up all the debris on the outside. They live and work to- gether without quarreling any more than men do. They are quite method ical in their habits. and go to work and finish up in the same manner as hu- man beings would do under similar cir cumstances. It is very interesting to watch them at their labor, and see how carefully they look after every detail of the work they attempt. They clean up about the mines, follow the wheel barrows and carts used in mining, and pick up everything that falls off on the way"

 and has also contributed her
 proportion of gold, copper and lead. But notwithstanding all this the possibilities and opportunities of that land are less understood and appre- ciated than those Of any other mineral bearing country. Mexico has opportu- mites, and those too in abundance, for men of brains, energy and means.
 The mineral wealth of Mexico is quite an unknown quantity, and it is safe to say that for the number of mining ven lures for that country as compared to those of California, Nevada or Colo rado - Mexico can show larger percentage of successes than could be scored by either of the above-named States.
 For some cause American capital has fought shy of Mexico as field for in vestments, and has given as an excuse, first, that the laws do not afford ade- quate protection for either life.or prop erty: and, second, that transportation facilities are insufficient.
 The first of these objections Is unwar- ranted, while the second must be ad- mitted.

 The Government imposes an annual tax of S10 for each "pertinentia," which is a block of ground 300 feet square. At any time after making the de nouncement" the prospector is at lib- erty to commence developing his prop erty; but the mining laws of the coun- try do not permit him either to reduce or ship away the ores extracted from the ground until he has first procured a

GOLD YIELD

TT is estimated that at the time of the k discovery of gold in California, on ! January 24, 1S48, the total gold avail E able in the whole world was not
 more than five thousand millions of
 dollars.
 In the sixteenth century, from 1493 to 1900, the gross gold product for the l0S years amounted to $501, ,693, ,337, which is an annual production of $4 645. .307.

the mill in due course of time
 A good example of this is the Bata- pilas mill of sixty stamps and steam plant that was packed in sections for 300 miles through the Sierra Madre Mountains.
 Placer mining has received less at tention in Mexico than other branches of the mining industry. This is mainly due to the scarcity of water There are in various sections large placer fields that would yield fortunes if water could be obtained, in the absence of which the natives work the richer places by the process of dry washing"
 Prospecting by the foreigner has been chiefly confined to the old abandoned mines, which at best is rather a blind undertaking, as the 'ancients" Gas they are called) seem to have prospected the country very thoroughly. In most instances they succeeded in working out the surface ground, so that the in- dications to which the latter-day miner pins his faith are the old depressions. together with the dumps, by the size of which he calculates how extensively the old mining had been carried on.
 The old arastra beds and slag piles from the primitive adobe smelters are also figured upon as something to as- sist in their calculations.
 Owing to the methods of milling and smelting then in vogue the SpanfardS and natives assorted the nlSn-graQe ores from those of lesser value, leaving the second grade or refuse on the dumps.
 Many of these second grade dumps have been discovered which contain thousands of tons of ore that can be handled at profit with modern milling and concentrating machinery.
 The time Is coming and that speed fly when the crude mining methods pre- yailing in our sister republic will have become a thing of the past. Railroads will connect her isolated mining camps with the outside world, and Mexican mining centers will have been estab- lished, which will rival Virginia City, Butte and Denver. G. w. G.

The Liberal intends to make a spe-
cialty of the stock interests of this portion
of New Mexico and the surrounding coun-
try.
1t will be in the hands of and read by
most of the stockmen and cowboys in this
portion of the territory.
As stock is liable to stray it is desirable
for owners to have their brands widely
known, so that stray stock can be Tecog-
nized and owners notified.
In order to have brands widely known
they must be well advertised.
THE LIBERAL viii advertise stock
brands at the following rates:
One brand on cut one Year.
Each additional brand OH cut, same
