Mexico and the United States.

Mexico and the United States.
In a recent speech before the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
at Baltimore Don Manuel de Aspiroz,
the Mexican ambassador to Washing
ton, touched upon a very important
episode in the history of Mexico and
the United States.
The two North American republics,
he said, ''can help each other, as was
shown when Mexican patriotism was
engaged five years in an unrelenting
struggle with French imperialism,
which at one time endangered Mexican
independence as we'll as the prestige of

craftsmanship became able to enforce

1t is wholly true that the United
States proved itself strong friend Of
our neighbor on the other side Of the
Rio Grande when, at the close Of the
civil war, it told Louis Napoleon to get
out of Mexico. And it is gratifying
that Mexico appreciates the fact.

Lessons OF Recent Fires.

The EAST fortnight has witnessed
number OF especially disastrous confa-
grations, notably those at Waterbury,
Conn, where there was property loss
Of something like $3,OOO,OOO, and at
Paterson, N. j., where the business Sec
don Of the city was practically swept
away and a loss sustained of. approx.
nately, 100000 .
Such disasters raise the question
whether or not the system of fire insur-
ance which permits SO many hazard
Gus and extra hazardous risks to be I'M
derwritten is working to the public adj
vantage. In such a fire as that of Pat
erson great many buildings are de-
stroyed which represent the best class
of modern architecture, but it is also
true that destructive CONGREGATIONS do
not begin in such buildings, but in struc-
lures of class which would disappear
IT uninsurable, and that from such q
center Of danger as Mrs. O'Leary's COW
stable or a car shed in which all the
elements for feeding fire are brought
together under lax official supervision
usually begins the destruction of block
after block Of buildings of the kind in
which serious fires never originate.
Experience has shown that building
laws and inspections are powerless to
i've us cities and towns safe from
sweeping CONGREGATIONS, and it may be
presumed that they will remain power
less to do this as long as those who
find cheap and flimsy construction
profitable can insure their property for
less annual cost than would represent
the interest on substantially built struc-
lures and the current expenses Of vigi-
lance for the protection Of infammable
merchandise
If an agreement could be made
among fire insurance underwriters not
to insure property not properly insur-
able, it would be decided step toward
abolishing conditions which make our
cities subject to sweeping confagra-
tons at disquietingly frequent inter-
walls, but such an agreement seems
hardly probable.

Judge Hiram Knowles in the United
States court.
E. r. Delgridge, superintendent of
the California mine at Republic,
Wash, has contracted with the Hail
Mines smelter to handle 500 tons OF
California second class ore. There will
still remain about 5000 tons of the
same grade of ore on the dump, and
the mine is producing more Of it right
along.
While working in the long lower
tunnel few days ago the miners on
the Snowstorm copper property en-
countered large nuggets of pure galena
and chalcopyrite of copper. A number
of galena groupings have been found
on the property, which may yet turn
out to be silver-lead.
A big strike has been made in the
Galconda mine in the Bourne dis
trict, Oregon. The ore runs into the
tens of thousands of dollars per ton.
1t is reported that the ledge cut in the
lower workings is the richest yet open
ed on that famoue property. The ore
body is large and the rock is hard
and of a dark blue color. 1t is filed
up with native gold.
