Growth of the Mining Industry in
 rlexicO,

Int McAican government nus mhue public n record of the opening of new mines in Mexico in January. Accord ing to this report there were registered ISIS new mines, with an area of cnins of l6,39S hectares of ground. Of these "A were gold mines. 3l3 gold and sil- yer, ll2 gold, silver and lead, l20 gold, silver and copper. There were ll6 silver mines, 3l4 silver and lead, 6l silver and copper, 76 copper. In con nection with these figures the Mexican Trade Review brings out some very suggestive facts, namely: That the State of Chihuahua registered the larg- est number, 305, Sonora followed with 205; and Guerro was third with 75.
 The report says: When it Is con sidered that Guerro is undoubtedly much richer state minerally than Chi huahua aud that Chiapas is unques- tionably next after Guerro, and in the opinion of some persons supposed to know, fully equal to Guerro, and also that Chiapas has only one mine regis. tered during January, the inference seems almost too plain to mention. It Is American capital which is investing in Mexican mines, with the probable exception of the Rothchilds, and nnlcss British capital makes haste to get in. terests in Mexico soon, they will be in the day after the fair.
 = here can be no doubt that while all |" activity in opening new mines Is guiug on that it will be some time before there is any danger that there will be any lack of opportunities for profitable and safe investment in this country. The fact that the proximity of Chihuahua and Sonora to the United States has resulted in large American interests, and that the American inter ests are more the result of absorption than any broad and general knowledge and familiarity with the country, should call the attention of British capital to the fact there are great op. portunlties here for investments. In England there IS most deplorable ] ignorance and misconception about Mexico, so many people of means sup. posing it to be South America, and knowing so little of actual conditions, and in so many instances having utterly unfounded ideas of the republic, h this connection 1t might be we'll to cal attention to the fact that there are Il the State of Sonora 3l7 gold mines Not only this, but there are 35S mIne: of gold and silver, and three of gold silver and lead, and total of 67i mines where gold separately or in con nection with other minerals exists This report is for the month of Janu ary of this year, but there seems to have been just as much activity during the month of February.

One thousand physicians from vari-
GUS parts Of the United States and Eu-
rope are going to Chicago the latter
part Of August to investigate the mer-
its of goats lymph as a curative agent
in human disease. They will witness q
number of experiments conducted by
Chicago experts who have made q
study of the lymph. DR.. Joseph r.
Hawley, former professor Of physical
diagnosis in the Chicago clinical
school, has been deeply interested in
the lymph since his attention was
drawn to it two years ago by DR.. B. F.
Roberts Of Green City, Mo-, the dis
coverer Of the medical virtues of the
lymph. DR.. Hawley has conducted ex-
periments on a wide scale, and claims
that the lymph ear be used successful
ly in the treatment of q variety Of dis
eases. One preparation is now used
for diseases of the nervous system, and
for chronic degenerative diseases, and
another for thyroid Affections incident
to goitre.

Constitutional Amendment.

OOuBtI1ut1OM0A
Secretary Of State Foley is certifying
to the newspapers Of North Dakota,
for publication, the two constitutional
amendments that will be voted on at
the fall election. One Of the amend
ments provides for the creation Of a
state board Of pardons. to assume the
duties now performed by the the gov
ernor in the pardoning Of prisoners.
The amendment provides that the gov
ernor, chief justice Of the supreme
court and the attorney general shall
receive and consider all applications Tor
pardon. This amendment meets with
general favor, and will doubtless carry,
as the system is believed to be better
than the one now in vogue. The other
amendment provides for the better tax
alton Of telegraph, telephone. express.
sleeping and dining car companies. and
If it passes, will serve to bring into the
state treasury taxes that have not been
collected heretofore. At present there
IL no provision for the taxation OF these
companies, but the proposed amend
ment provides that the state board OF
equalization shall assess these compa-
MES at their value and apportion the
share among the several counties Of
state, as is at present done in the case
Of railroads. Under the present condt-
ton Of the constitution, it is claimed.
this cannot be done with the kind OF
companies named. This amendment
will also carry without doubt.

FARGO Wants the Next National

Mayor johnson Of Fargo and Presi-

feel confident Of securing the next
gress. They were delegates to the con-
rgess. They were delegates to the con-
vention in Colorado, and put forth
their best efforts to secure the honor
for Fargo. A number of other cities
had their eye on the meeting, and the
contest was a warm one. Sioux Falls,
s. D., was the strongest opponent Far
go had. The entire matter was left In
the hands of the executive committee,
and the announcement will be made
soon. AS a result of the contest be-
tween the two Dakota cities the meet
ing may possibly go to a third. as q
compromise. Many of the delegates
were extremely anxious to meet In the
spring wheat belt, and Fargo, being in
the center of the great Red River val
ley, had stronger inducements to offer
in that line than any other part of the
country.

Students of the revolutionary epoch
will find in the Paris exposition many
relics never before exhibited, private
collectors supplementing the historic
treasures of the Musee Carnavalet. A
souvenir of Robespierre is a cravat of
Carlyle's "sea green incorruptible"-a
narrow band of white muslin having
tiny folds, and now yellow with age.
Who knows how many times this bit
of muslin may have been lovingly
starched and ironed by the sisters to
whom Robespierre was so dear? OF
more pathetic interest are some trink-
cts worn by Lucille Desmoulins on her
way to the scaffold.

Active Work at Bismarck, and the

Work will begin at once on the 'sys-

the military post at Bismarck. Col.
Pond. chief quartermaster OF h de-
partment. has rented quarters for the
local engineering force in charge OF the
work. and Engineer Brocius will re-
main in the city in charge of the work.
There is an appropriation of $4,000 for
nuttine in water works and a sewerage
system, and this will be expended un-
der the direction of Col. Pond. The
first matter that will come up before
the attention of the officials In expert
mental work to determine, Is whetner
an artesian we'll can be sunk to supply
the post. While an artesian water sup
Div would be more economical Tor the
post, If a reliable supply could be Sc
cured. there is considerable doubt
among those familiar with the
whether ar .artesian flow of water can
be secured. Attempts have been made
to secure artesian water both at Man.
dan and Bismarck, and, after expend-
ing large amounts of money and boring
into the earth for a great depth. IT,
attempts have been abandoned. 1t IS
possible, the attempts have been made
at the wrong place, and that the exper-
imenta! work on the post site will pro-
duce better results. While in h city

The results of the experiment with
negroes as operatives in a Charleston
cotton mill are not encouraging to
date. The trouble appears to be not
in the inability of the negroes to learn
to run machines. but in their disin-

With $4,000 negroes in the city it has
been found necessary to advertise for
operatives.
