The Ahogsdo Mine.

The United States Mining & Smelling Company is a new corpo- ration recently organized in New York, which has taken over the Ahogado mine, a celebrated "anti- qua" property some twenty miles eastward from Hermosillo. This is mine with wonderful record of production, but was never worked to any great depth. With modern methods and machinery and worked upon large scale the Aho- gado can be again made one of the great mines of Mexico.
 The new company includes some heavy operators with ample capital and every facility for making the enterprise grand success. Messrs. Vance, Bradenburg & Co.,, No. 6, Wall street, New York, are fnan- cing it's interests. MT. T. B. John- son, United States assayer at Fl Paso, is the general manager. The vendors, Messrs. George Wanless, of El Paso, Mark Wanless and Ri- cardo Diaz, of Hermosillo, retain an interest in the new company.

A gentlemen who read this letter in
the Office of the Secretary of the Senate
few days ago put the book down with
a sigh and said: II would give $4,000 for
that piece of paper" The Government
would hardly sell it, even for a much
higher price.

One of the most interesting documents
in the book is the manuscript of Thomas
Jeffersons speech to the Senate when
he called that body to order as vice

session on March A. 1897. The manu-
script was found lying on the wee

magnifying glass. 1t is thought that
this obscurity is due somewhat to The
fact that an impression was taken of the
handwriting for the purpose of making
a fac-simile and some of the ink was alb
sorbed in the process. AT any rate, the
original Declaration can be read now
only in a certain light and soon will
have faded away altogether.
This is not the case with the historic
writings in the possession of the Secre-
tary of the Senate. The handwriting Is
as clear and legible now as 1t was when
penned by famous men who long since
passed from earth. The parchments and
paper upon which these important State
papers were written were becoming rap
idly worn out by constant thumbing
when General McCook wisely took steps
to preserve them. The work was we'll
done. and barring accidents. the pages
of the book and the handwriting will ba
in as good state of preservation a
hundred years hence as they are TODAY.
The initial message in the book Is the
ate by President Washington. On two
occasions previous to the writing OF the
message he had. in person. met the Sen
ate in executive session, but since Au-
gust "a. 1889, there is no record Of any
President having done SO. although au-
thority for such course is given by rule
SO of the Senate. This rule is still in
force and says:
when the President of the United
States shall meet the Senate in the Sem
ate chamber for the consideration NJ
Executive business he shall have a seat
on the right OF the presiding officer"

The earlier messages of John Adams
were ali in his own handwriting. His
first was noteworthy for the fact that in
1t he nominated his own son to be min
lister to Prussia. This message reads:

to Adams. 1t appears in none of the
other messages on file in the Senate ar
chives. There are more messages ot
John Adams, all in his own big. heavy,
easily-read chirography, and then comes
one which is regarded by historians and
relic hunters as of greater intrinsic and
sentimental value than any other State
paper in the Government archives. with
the possible exception of the original of
the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution This is message sent to
the Senate by Mr.. Adams on July 2, 1898,

Three Years Farmer.
Eleanor Keefauver has been farming
for three years. She learned the farm
er's trade from R. F. Powell. the asso.
cations superintendent, and as Mr.
Powell Is one OF the agricultural eX-
perts Of America. her lessons were un-
usually profitable. There are few farm
ers, as a matter of fact, who are so
successful as this little girl. 1t has
been proven by statistics that her farm
yields annually, according to it's size,
200 per cent more than the yield Of the
average farm in the country.
Eleanor has raised this year potatoes,
corn, beans. cabbages. tomatoes. cucum-
bers. lima beans, red beets, egg plants,
