| looked for than is claimed by the pres
ent owners who seem to be quite con.
servative. The property Is owned by
the b. O. e. Mining and Milling Com
pany Of which Governor M. A. Otero
and Hon. H. o. Bursum are prominent
officials There is new and complete
10-stamp mill upon the property, with
rock crusher, the crushing capacity of
the mill being about 30 tons per day.
AS in all the other mills of the district
ployed, but as there is ample floor
space and 1t would cost comparatively
little, 1t would not be surprising if
tanks were built and the cheaper cyan
chinery is all that could be desired for
crushing, the change would cost little
and the extra profits to be reaped from
the virgin ore reserves, by the more ef-
f1cent and cheaper process of reduction
would greatly enhance the value Of
the property. 1t Is said this company
will have sufficient funds In hand to
commence operations within the next
ninety days and to continue develop
ment of the ore bodies until the ore re-
serves are opened up to the depth of
500 feet. The mill will then be started
and regular dividends can be depended
upon for years thereafter.
THE LITTLE FANNIE.
Another item of interest and import
ance is the reported sale of the Little
Fanny mine, for the snug sum of $780,
900. And yet the miners who have
worked in the mine during its develop
ment stage, the past three years,
claim that three-quarters of a million
dollars is very small price for the
property. At short intervals during
the past three years development has
been prosecuted upon this property
and none of the slopes have been de-
pleted Of ore, only the ore broken in
sinking and drifting was removed from
the mine. Experienced miners claim
that there is one million dollars in the
Ore TeScTVcS III Sight. lie coHlpdIly
which has heretofore owned the prop
erty, refused to lease the mine on a
royalty of 25 per cent Of the gross pro-
ceeds, although they We're offered gilt
edged bonded secu' " for the main
tenance Of the mine in good condition
and for payment Of the royalty. 1t is
more than probable that this mine will
now fall in line as big producer. as
the new owners will in all probability
commence extraction Of the ore and
production Of the bullion.
THE SILVER BAR.
The Silver Bar, better known as the
Old Cooney mine, passed into the hands
of Colorado Springs capitalists two
years ago, and has been a steady divi-
dend payer evey s'~ce, returning al
ready more than the purchase price of
100000.
The Mogollon Gold and Copper Com
pany, under the capable management
Of VIM. J. Weatherby, is developing
rich and extensive ore reserves. But
this and other properties are deserving
of more than passing mention which
will receive the attention of your cor
respondent in later letter.

THE IRRIGATION BILL.
Chafing at the delay in taking up the

delay, there will be concerted request
for action by the members of the house
who took part in the conferences
which assembled in Senator Warren's
room last winter and after
more than a months hard labor sue
'eeded in formulating the measure.
While the speaker has definitely as
'ured Representative Mondell that the |
Measure 'would have day in court"
It this session, yet it is so late in |
coming that there is fear expressed

here will be, a crush of business which
Will make it impossible for the speaker

and grazing lands. We could easily feed
all the workmen needed, and we have water
and railroad communications which would
put your supplies just where you want
them. We have now one of the most pro-
gressive rulers of this hemisphere, Cen
eral Jose Santos Zelaya. He was educated
in Europe and has travelled widely. He is
very broad in his views and he realizes
that the canal will greatly help our coun'
try and people. He will do all that he can
to aid your government and will grant all
necessary concessions. At first it was pro-
posed to create a neutral zone of three
miles on each side of the canal. This or
anything else that is necessary will be
given, although by our constitution we
cannot sell the land to a foreign power. We
can, however, lease it in perpetuity, and
this means the same thing"
'How about the health conditions along
the line of the canal, Senior Corea?" said
|. Can Our people live and work there?"
Certainly they cam" replied the minis
ter. Il have gone over the reports of your
engineers and surveying parties. They
state that Nicaragua is the healthiest of all
tropical countries and not to be considered
in the same class as Panama. Surgeon
Bradford, who went over the route with
sixty surveyors and 140 Jamaicans and
natives in 1887, says that he did not have
one case of serious illness in his whole
party. He was there in the rainy season
and was doing actual work along the line
now proposed. Admiral Walker reports
that he had $50 men with him while he
was making his surveys through the
swamps and that he had less sickness and
malaria than he would have had had he
been running a survey in Virginia at the
same season OF the year. l can give you
similar quotations from every traveller and
engineer who has been over the route. We
are entirely free from the yellow fever and
from malaria in any dangerous form"
Americans In Nicaragua.
"Is Nicaragua such a country that Ameri-
cans could prosper in it?"
81 think so, without doubt" was the re-
ply. IA fit answer to that question Is that
many Americans are now doing so. We
have been having quite an immigration
from your country. Three hundred and hf-
teen young Americans came in last month
and I get at least fifty letters a week in
curing about the canal and the chances
for securing land near 1t. Already g
number of plantations have been set out by
Americans who expect to make fortunes

there in raising bananas, pineapples, CO.
coanuts and rubber"
What are the opportunities for such
men?'
They are very great il they can only
wait a while for their crops to come into
bearing. In rubber it takes about seven
years to raise the trees, but after that
time they pay very we'll. l am interested
in q plantation which has % 200 trees.
They are now five years old and will
produce rubber about 1904. The trees cost
but a trifle to plant and care for. We grow
the sprouts in nurseries and have the In
dams set them out at 20 cents per task.
A task means the setting out of a certain
number of trees. The Indian may do it in
three hours, four hours or eight hours, but
he is paid by the task without regard to
time. After the trees are once set out
they receive but little attention until hey
are ready for cropping.
There are a good many opportunities for
making money in cocoanuts and bananas,
and also in coffee. About one-third of our
coffee estates are now in the hands of the
Germans, but If the United States builds
this canal we expect to see many Ameri-
can planters come in. We raise a very fine
coffee, as good as can be raised In any part
of the world, and it brings high prices.
New Railroads and Mines.
The mineral resources of Nicaragua are
great" continued Senior Corea. I'VE have
some very rich gold mines and we are now
building railroads to open up the mineral
parts of the country. We have also large
areas fitted for cattle raising. There are
now hundreds of thousands Of cattle upon
these lands, but there might be millions.
We export many hides and Of late have
been exporting meat to Cuba and others of
the West India islands.
Our people realize that the canal would
benefit them. They believe it will double
the value of their lands and greatly in
crease the prosperity Of the country. We
have no doubt but that it will eventually
be built through our territory"
l had an interview on the same subject
with Senior Carlos Martinez Silva, the min
lister from Colombia, who left Washington
some weeks ago. He told me that Colon
bia was very anxious that the canal should
be built and that 1t was willing to give any
concessions which would lead to the choice
of the Panama route. Said he:
I'VE feel that a canal will eventually &c

music, and be borne away on the wings OF
melody to realms Of purest bliss. The man
in the next seat fdgets or huns an irritat-
ing accompaniment to the instruments, or
does something else which proves disturb
ing. The doctor resolved that in his test
of the influence OF music on the dis ordered
human system the conditions should be as
favorable as he could make them, He could
not command stained glass windows and
huted columns and vaulted arches and a
cathedral atmosphere, but he subdued the
light of the room with effective window
drapery and he burned some josshouse In
cense and put a few mothballs about the
cot. In this chamber he installed his
grumbling patient-a newspaper man VINO
suffered from neurasthenia Tin common
speech nervous exhaustion)-which is Of all
nervous maladies the most vague and OBJ
stinate and presumably the one in which
the victim must be most responsive to
musical treatment. The patient, like all
sufferers of his kind, was afflicted by In
somnia. When he did sleep from eXhaus-
ton it was to awaken in a most irritable
state of mind.
The sick man slept as the physician
quietly led the violinist into the room an
placed him in a remote corner, himself re-
treating into the corridor. Softly the SWEEP
