AN OLD SPANISH MINE.
After Being Idle for Centuries 1t Will Be
Worked Agt ain.

La Barbara is the name of an old

Il fine wagon road of 1t. 1t was known
rs one of the most productive mines
two hundred years ago. This. as there
are many old mines, has been laying
idle for years since. Ten years ago
1t was worked above the water level
by some gambusinos (prospcctors),
from which they took out about $780,
600. The mine Is said to have been
abandoned on account of the nbun-
dance of water found mt depth of
40 feet. but more probable on ac-
count of the then existing Apache In
dians. 1t is a very extensively worked
mine and contains still ore enough in
sight to pay expenses. There are sew
eral shafts leading into the water
where the ore can be seen on both
sides of the works. II has been taken
up lately by our well known mining
engineers, Gayou Brothers, who have
successfully worked several of these
old Spanish mines. They assure that
the amount of water Is not worth con
sidering, and. with modern appliances,
the ore Will average $40 per ton In
lead and silver. but the most curious
fact Is that. running with this vein,
which Is three feet wide. Is another

says hundreds of dollars In free gold,

known that the most productive mines
in Mexico. and principally In Sonora,

Dear Sir-Your telegram of April

state that the First Colorado volun-
teers having enlisted for the Spanish
war. and that war having ended, you
demand that such regiment be mus
tered out of service and its members
returned to their homes, has been re-
ferred to this department. In reply,
the acting secretary of war desires me
to say that it was the intention of the
department to return all of the volun-
teer troops in the Philippine islands
long since, but that its plans were
somewhat disarranged by the recent
operations in those islands. However.
instructions have been sent to Maor
General Otis to return those regi-
ments to the United States as soon as
transports are available and he has
replied that the movement would com
mence about May 9TH. and that the
regiments will be returned substan-
tally in the order in which they went
out.
The acting secretary desires me to
add that inasmuch as the First Colo
RADIO regiment was among the first to
go to the Philippine islands. 1t will be
among the first to return. and there is
reasonable expectation that it will be
returned to the United States and its
members mustered out not later than
the 1st of July. Yours respectfully.

There has been so much money in

all they can get, and they are hot

the promoters of various companies.

terest investors in new "industrials'
or trusts" The authorized capitall-
cation of such companies incorporated
in this country in 1898 was nearly ST.
900, 900, 900, a sum more than double the
entire capitalization of new issues, in
dustrial, governmental and municipal.
offered in England in the same year.
But the total of these industrial COM
blnations last year, great as it was in
the aggregate amount of capital in
volved, has already been exceeded this
year. A list Of the principal "indus-

January and February of this year,
chiefly in New Jersey shows that
in these two months the new cap
italization reached the enormous total
of $1048, 100000 of stock and S57 5000
of bonds. And there is about half
billion more In the works.
