The New Mexican has the fol-
lowing concerning new mining
discoveries in Dona Ana county:
The we'll which is being driv-
en- south of Carlsbad for oil is
down 1,5O0 feet.
A six foot run of ore was struck
in the Graphic mine at Magda-
lena, in Socorro county.
S. T. Biting and Samuel B.
Smith of Carlsbad, Eddy county,
are sinking a discovery shaft on
their copper claims in canon
branching off from Dark Canon,
about two miles west of Thayer's
ranch in Eddy county.
E. A. Herpersger has been ap-
pointed manager of the new cop
per mining camp III Caballero
canon in Otero County. He has
established the camp and will
put number of men to work as
soon as the machinery arrives
which is expected every day. Air
drills will be used. Many claims
have been staked in that section.
The Pacific Union Smelling
company of San Francisco, is
erecting a 50-ton furnace at
Lordsburg, Grant county, and
will be ready to receive ore by
the end of this month. The Lena
Mining and Milling company is
putting in a 25 ton furnace and a
$50 ton concentration. 1t will re-

At the Volcanoes Crater.

A party of Americans touring In
Mexico recently accomplished the un-
usual feat Of ascending to the edge of
the crater Of Mount Popocatapetl. the
famous volcano Of the North American
continent. A member Of the party In
describing the trip says the crater Is a
marvel and we'll worth a hard journey
to see. "A huge and gloomy pit 1t is"
he says, ITS steep sides emitting sui
phurous smoke and fumes. and It's per-
pendicular walls descending, 1t Is said,
to depth Of 1900 feet. At the bottom
is a small lake Of emerald green, sur
rounded by volcanic rocks and deposits
of sulphur. At the top there is ledge
Of rock at the crater's edge. from which
we made our observations OF the crater
and upon which we were photographed.

No doubt it is a mere coincidence,

names: Day, Hay, Gage, Long, Root.

there were Gary and Alger, whose

A wealthy and cultured American,
prominent In social and literary circles,
lately died in England, where he had
resided for thirty years. Since his first

Englishman's table. At his first din

sighting reference to the United
States. which his guest. as a guest,
could not resent. Upon the spot he
resolved never to accept an invitation

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
Strange ldeas of kconomy, Politenese
and Gratitude.

Strange Ideas of Economy, Politeneso
and Gratitude.
Tie spirit Of economy In the Chinese
race transcends all that can be imag-
ined. The smallest particle Of matter
Is utilized. The old, cast-on account
book Of the merchant Is cut into p,ecess
and oiled to serve instead OF glass Ina
windows or lanterns. A cOolie who
has six hours march with u heavy
burden will return to his point OF de-
parture without having broken his fast,
in order to save the two cents his
breakfast would have cost away from
home. Nothing Is more curious than to
see them eat, although. with their ia
nous chop sticks, they do not perform
all the wonderful feats generally sup
posed. They put their food In bowls
or saucers and with the chopsticks
they raise the pieces of meat or fish to
the mouth with sufficient grace Each
has q bowl Of rice. which he hclds
near his lips. and with the aid Of the
chopsticks he pushes the contents into
his mouth. 1t Is curious to see them
pick up with their chopsticks the grains
of rice that fail on the ground. The
children are taught this art from their
earliest years; nothing must bc lost.
not even the smallest grain.
Europeans regard polileness as an ex-
preston of those qualities of the heart
which render the person who desires
to be polite agreeable to those with
whom he Is thrown. The Chinese look
upon the matter from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint. The same senti-
ment which accords importance to the
preservation Of dignity regulates his
actions AS regards politeness. Here 10
