ANCIENT MEXICAN MINES.

John Il. Parish returned few weeks
ago from a trip through southern Mex
leo which. according to his descrip-
| lions. is land OF fruit. flowers and
mineral wealth unsurpassed in the
! world.
The country in which his investiga-
tions were made is the state of Michoa-
can and is reached by branch of the
Mexican National railroad which
leaves the main line at Acambaro and
goes toward the Pacific coast. The
mines are located along the western
slopes of the great Mexican plateau and
are not far from the coast, the noun
tain system approaching very near the
sea at that time. Mr.. Parish says that
most of the mines there have been
worked for hundreds of years 10y the
aboriginal natives and Spaniards.
Those which have not been worked for
100 years or more OFFER fairly good OPP
portunities for investment, while gen.
orally those which have been in opera
ton within the past fifty years are
practically exhausted though there
have been several instances where
good mines have been developed from
old workings that have been operated
for centuries. In nearly every instance
where one of these ancient mines have
been reopened il has been successful.
sary owing to the dryness OF the mines
and Sometimes perfectly sound timber
ing is found that may have been put
in place at the time of the conquest
The most successful property there is
that operated by 4 French company.
which also works the largest mine on
the peninsula of Lower California
The company has been developing for
two years. owns large tract of land and
is now ready to commence operations
II will build a railroad twenty miles
long to a connection with the Cuerna-
vaca railroad and will eventually build
q smelter for the treatment of it's owr
ores. Another successful enterprise is
that of an old Georgia miner. who
owns one Of the old Mexican mines.
which he has been operating for sever
al years. He is driving tunnel from
the foot OF the mountain. which will
cut the formation far below the old
workings. and in the meantime is TAX
ing out from the old drifts and Slopes
enough rich ore to pay all the expen-
ses of the work In progress and give
him an annual income of from $4,000
to $4,000. Mr.. Parish thinks the coun-
try an exceedingly promising loca-
ton for the investment of capital.

was beaten and 10 to ] Is corpse.
This is n great country with countless
resources, but in the present state OF
our commercial relations we cannot
defy the money standard of the world
and prosper. Now as free coinage or
silver beat the democrats four years
ago opposition to so-called imperial
ism will beat them this time. for this
opposition is nothing more than the
fruitlesS attempt OF endavoring To
clog the everlasting wheels OF progress
itself. There is no danger of this coun-
try becoming imperialistc except so
far as republicanism has proven
failure. Imperialism then. as old Mark
Hanna says. is nothing but bogy. and
IL is useless to attempt to fool com
mon sense with an imaginary scare
crow.
IF the democrats had Endorsed the
general foreign policy OF the admins
tration. but loose from the silly no
ton of free silver. taken the proper
attitude towards the trusts. opposed
militarism and government by injunc-
ton and exposed the mistakes and
scandals of the republican party. Bry-
an would sweep the country. Again.
IL the democratic party had accepted
that which is now the main issue and
dropped entirely the silver question,
Mckinley would be defeated There
was no use in making imperialism an
issue and more than useless to at
tempt to resurrect a corpse.
THE general policy OF the admins
tration is in harmony with destiny it
self. for we must either go back to iso
lation and final stagnation or we must
become a great nation and take our
place in the foremost ranks OF the
worlds mighty powers.
''Combativeness has been mans
most powerful educative incentive.
War. then. is the most popular with
the people and there must be war as
long as there is progress there can
be no peace. For when the martial
spirit of man dies out and the univer-
sal reign of peace appears, man will
become an effeminate being a sort
of wingless angel."-New Era.
