The publication is being printed. in both English and Spanish.
 The Mexican laws are liberal to- wards miners and allow the miner practically three months to prospect his claim before final acceptance or Announcement. He must pay at once upon locating his claim (of about three acres) ten dollars Mexican money, af- ter which he has about three months 10 sample the property. If he wants to keep it he must then make his de- nouncement, get out the necessary pa pers and in all probability have to pay about $250 for a claim There is con- siderable red tape in the final proving up of a claim, as the papers all have to go to Mexico city. Should a miner desire to forfeit a claim he is only out his time and expenses and the ten dollars.-San Diego Tribune

MINING NOTES.

The Catalina Copper Mining com pany is developing it's mines in the Santa Catalina mountains. Fifteen men are employed running a tunnel, which is in 150 feet. It is expected the copper vein of ore will 'Oe struck at about 175 feet, which will be over 200 feet below the apex Of the ledge or vein. F. M. Hartman, icC2l agent and attorney for the company, has the management of the business of the company in prosecuting the work Tucson Star.
 Pima county's mines are receiving a large amount of attention through the press. The Les Angeles Mining Revlew Of each W eek devotes consider able Cf it's space to our mines The Mining Reporter of Denver last week had an extensive description of the Sil- yer Bell district, and this week con tains a fine article on the Helvetia group. The Arizona Republican is likewise giving considerable attention to our mines. Tuesdays Republican had an interesting letter from it's cUr- respondent on the Azurite mines.-- Tucson Citizen.

Mines and MininQ


cf Tucson, MT Wheatly informs the Citizen, he and Mr. Turner discovered a six-foot ledge of high grade copper ore. which crops out for fifteen hun dred feet. Owing to a lack of water, however, the gentlemen were com palled to leave their promising find fer the present, there not being any water in the tanks this season of the year, the nearest supply Of that indis- pensable fluid being eighteen miles from the. late discovery. MT. Wheatly is the well known mining engineer and draughtSman, whose experience in mining matters covers a large period and has fitted him to calmly judge of the merits of prospect, which fact is a guarantee that the locators-ass0ci- ated with whom is George o. Russell have a promising prospect. They will make preparations to develop the new fnd.-Tucson Citizen.

 of a Railroad Line.

The engineer who lays out a railroad dlsHkes to move a stake when it has once been driven.
 Once, when the present chief engi- neer CT 9 western railroad was Ioeat- lnS a line in Missouri, he was asked to change the stakes and refused. After the stakes had been set, a young. un- shaved man appeared and asked that the road be moved over a bit.''
 The road cannot be changed, . promptly returned the engineer; "this Is the best place for it."
 ne man went into aAhCuse. got q Flhe, came out, and pulled up the stakes. The indignant engineer start ca toward him, but was intercepted py an elderly woman
 Can't you move yo1lr road over q little piece, mister?'' she asked.
 T don't see why I should" resnond- ed the engineer. My business is to iocate the line, and ycu can call on the company fer damages. What does that young blackguard mean by sitting there on a stump with a gun?" he angrily demanded.

THE Rhode Island College is en-
deavoring to incite the children OF
New England to livelier interest In
the things of outdoor life by organic
ing bands for nature study under the
name of "The Nature Guard" These
bands are to elect officers who are to
report progress to the college, and the
children are also expected to send q
personal letter at least once month.
Suggestions will be sent from the col
lege embracing topics for study appro-
pirate to the season. The first lesson
gives hints on such things as che chirp-
ing of q cricket and points of intsrest
connected with an ordinary rainstorm.
The movement is not designed as school
work, but for the purpose of helping
the children to see and enjoy more out
side of school hours. In the far future
the children of Ell Paso and the south
west will probably be sent out in
prospecting expeditions to locate gold
aud copper mines. Educators seem
determined to develop every faculty of
childhood.

CHAINED BY THE NECK
Manner In Which Prisoners Are To
Be Taken to the Pen

State Convict Agent joint. Suffer
was here yesterday to take to the penl-
Tertiary and to the reform school
thirteen prisoners who were confined
in the county Jail.
A custom which savors of Russia
and seems barbarous in the observance
is the manner in which these prisoners
are taken.
There are series of heavy chains
about feet in length, and having at
either end an iron ring. Each of these
chains is used to secure two prisoners,
the rings of either end being lock ed
around a mans neck.
The prisoners are then stood up in q
dou BILE rOw-each pair connected by q
CD ain, and all these chains are attach
ed at their middle to one heavy iron
chain which is held by the officer in
charge.
The prisoners present the appear
ance of bunch of exiles for Siberia.
The prisoners for the peniten-
tisry, all of whom are clsssed as able
bodied, include 'Curly" Sullivan, who
goes up for five years; Esiquio Merca-
do, aged Sc; Girgono Nova, % years;
Sixto Ovalos, IS, Nsrcisco Constsuda,

THERE seems to be no limit to the
wonderful uses of electricity. DIR.
Peter Stiens, Russian electrician, an
nounces that he has applied an cleo
trical apparatus of his invention to
several blin1 persons and has made
them see light and the shape OF OBJ
jects around them. In an Interview In
an English paper the inventor said:
ST have been working on this inven-
tion for some years, and have every
confidence now that shall soon bring
it to such q state of utility that blind
persons by it's aid will be able to see
with their brains just as ordinary
people see through their normal eyes.
In q word, my invention acts in place
of the eye"
DIR. Stiens then suggested that the in
terviewer should judge for himself,
and the latter describes what happened
as follows:
DR.. Stien took. me into a small room
and blindfolded me. He did this so
effectually that not ray OF light
reached my vision; all was absolute
darkness. Then he lighted matches in
tn en- that l could smell the burning
sulphur and feel the heat of the flame.
But could zee nothing.
He connected me with his apparatus.
The blindfolding substance was not
touched or altered in any way. But In
lace of the darkness there appeared
white light before me-a light that
looked very much like the ordinary
light of day.
Objects were then held up before the
interviewer and he saw them distinctly
and described them accurately.

A MINING EXPOSITION

The HERALD has advocated and will
continue to advocate the establish
ment in Ell Paso, through the instru-
mentality of the chamber of commerce,
of permanent mining exposition. 1t
is an age of expositions and the Pass
City should not neglect any opportuni-
ty to make known to visitors the en-
ormons resources of the country
roundabout. States, countries and
cities are daily setting up expositions
of their resources. Ell Paso must step
into line.
The latest exposition project is re-
ported from Germany With govern
meut aid, including fusncial assistance,
the projected commercial museum may
now be regarded as secured for that
country. A correspondent made
special investigation of the subject,
which Consul general Mason of Ber-
lin regards as the most important
matter in the,.commercial Intercourse
of the two nations-Germany and the
United States-tbat has happened for
years.
Ell Paso cannot hope for government
or state aid in such a project as the
HERALD suggests,i but her citizens,
under the Intelligent direction of the
governing body of the chamber of com
MERGE. can establish a mining exposi-
ton that will be a credit to the city.
The HERALD; would again call to
mind the advisability of strengthening
the membership of the chamber by ad-
hitting corresponding members, or
auxil iaries, from all the small towns
and citiesiwithin q radius of two hun
dred miles or more.

FROM current scientific notes the
HERALD learns that there has recent
ly been q meeting at Wiesbaden, Ger
many, of delegates from the leading
European scientific academies, on the
invitation of the Prussian Academy OF
Science, to discuss the possibility OF
establishing q uniform scientific Ian
guage and a uniform language for
general intercourse, Latin for the
former and English for the latter.
While the results of the meeting have
not yet been made public, distinguish
ed and eminent representatives Of

European states and from America for
the purpose of seeking q way toward
the realization of more mutual UNDER

LEATHER Is being shipped to Eng.
land in such large quantities for use in
the Transvaal war that shoemakers
say the price has advanced so rspidly
during the last few weeks that there is
q prospect that shoes will cost so per
cent more six months hence than they
do now. The high prices are sttri-
buted to the scarcity of the article, and
this scarcity ia explained by the fact
that great deal of the material has
been exported. In the last sixty days
the best grade of oak butts used for
betting has advanced from twenty-six
to forty-two cents pound and the first
grade Of sole leather for shoes has ad-
vanced from thirty-four to thirty
eight cents. A year ago betting leath-
er cost only thirty cents a pound.
