Mexico has been supplying the world
with mineral wealth for centuries, says
Modern Mexico, but the exploration
aud development that Is now going on
show that what has been done in the
past has only been a. a scratch upon
the surface, compared with what will
be done in the next few years. For the
year just closed Mexico's exports of
metals, including the precious metals
aud their ores, will reach value of
l-5,OO0,OO0s silver. The energy, ca pital
and modern machinery that are at
present finding their way into the rich
regions of chihuahua, Durango, Guer-
rero and Oaxaca, not to mention less
notable regions, will increase this sum
very materially during the coming
year.

as depth is attained. During the past
week ore in the Apache Chief has
doubled in quantity and quality, and
as soon as contracts can be let for
freighting ore to the railway heavy
shipments of very valuable ore will be
made. The history of this property
serves to illustrate how those living in
rich mining country, such as this,
overlook their opportunities, this valu-
able property having lain idle for
twenty years. Shipments from the
Royal Blue, owned by the same com
