general counsel for the Calumet and
Hecla mining company of Boston, ar
rived in the city yesterday from the
state of Durango, where he has been
for the past few weeks on business con.
nectei with the company. Mr.. Norris

mills at its copper mines in Durango,
which are known as the Fernando
mines. The mills have capacity for
handling one hundred and fifty tons of
ore day. The entire property and
mills are operated by electricity. The
company has a concession for harness
ing the water power which generates
the electricity 10 the extent of 700
horse power. Trolly lines have been
built from the mines to the mills and
the lighting and refining is all done by
electricity. The mills turn out rich
copper matte ready for shipment. Mr..
Norris expects TO be in the city for
several days, after which he will leave
for Iacatecas, where he goes to look
after his own property, which includes
some of the best copper holdings in
the state.-Mexican Herald.

a few years later he was one of the

between the two countries. The negotia-
tons led to an impudent request that the
United States should pay the crafty and
corrupt Talleyrand Il bride of 100000
francs before the matter would be seri

THE MARSHALL STATUE.


Said TO Be the Work of Thomas Craw
ford, the Artist.
Mr. ". W. Scott. State Librarian, has
collected the evidence going to prove
that the statue OF Marshall on the ped
estal of the Washington equestrian
statue is by Thomas Crawford, the artist
who designed the equestrian statue, and
certainly the figures of Henry and JEFF
ferson While it is certain that the
statues of Nelson and Lewis are the work
of another and very inferior hand. the
evidence that Crawford made the models
Of the Mason and Marshall statues is re-
garded as satisfactory. The figures of
Marshall Nelson and Lewis were not
put in place until 1867.
The portrait of Chief Justice Marshall
in the State Library is. the work of In
man, of Philadelphia, and was painted in
1881. 1t is loaned to the State by his
