Mexico To Make Her Own Arms.

The Mexcan Government is considering
the plan Of establishing national arms fac
tory on sufficiently large scale to supply the
army with all necessary arms. At present
Mexico buys all its arms abroad, and besides
the increased cost, the Government officials
feel that they are at the mercy Of foreign
Governments, who could shut off their sup
ply at any moment. The great objection
hitherto urged to such a factory was that
the establishment of steel plant would be
Necessary before the arms could be made
here. But the National Steel Company is
now building railroad from its factories
to the mines at Oarrizal, and in a short time
will be ready to haul immense quantities Of
ore, which can be mined veiy cheaply.
With the improved methods to be adopted,
the cost will pe about 81 a ton on the car.
The cost of similar ores in the United Sta.
tes delivered at the iron acorks Is about ~.
80. With the labor paid on silver basis
the cost OF production will be much less
than in the United States. Work on all
parts of the plant is being rushed, and
though much of the equipment is still TO be
put in place, the shipment OF the ores will
be begun before long.

Anaconda, Oct. 26.-"About IA years
ago I came to Montana to spend the
summer, running around through the
hills for my health" said H. e. NARROW
of Pittsburg, who was in Anaconda for
few hours yesterday.
MY health had been poor for some
time because of the sedentary life 1 had
been leading, and my physicians told
me that unless I had a change of climate
for a time I would very probably end up
In the boneyard at an early date. So I
packed my grip and bought ticket for
Great Falls. From there I went to
Helena, then to Butte.
"In that city 1 ran across an old pros
pector, who seemed to take shine tow
ards me, and upon learning that I was
here for my health he suggested that I
go with him on one of his expeditions
after the yellow metal. He had been fol-
lowing the life of a prospector for some
years. working in the mines of Butte
in the winter time to get stake money
for the summer.

and about the middle of April we struck
off to the western part Of Deer Lodge

when we decided one day to move camp
few miles farther on. When we
stopped for our mid-day meal, my part

that he was unusually preoccupied. See

was thinking about.

companied him, rather than spend the
day alone. We had to make the trip on
foot, so we hobbled our pack animals,
and after placing our supplies in a rather
secluded spot, started off on our journey.
1t was difficult trip, but not once did
my partner swerve from his course, and
he led pace which tried my powers Of
endurance to the utmost.
Late in the evening we came to a
place where my pal said we might as
