by J. P. Loeder, president of the company, will open up one of the richest sections of Mexico, where at present progress is hampered by the lack of transportation facilities.
 Mir Loeder has just reached Vic toria. He says 1t will require two years to complete the electric line, which will pass through the the towns of Tula and Guadalcazan. Mexico is the field for new rail- roads" said Mir. Loeber. For the next twenty years it will be a lead ing enterprise. Many valuable mines are not operated because of the lack of railroad facilities. In the Sierra Madre range, through which the new electric line will run, more than forty claims have been staked out by members of the company, and the ore taken from some of these claims has assa yed at great percentage. Because of the lack of facilities for transport ing the ores, however, few of the claims are being operated. In some places ore is taken 75 miles by the burro system"

ACROSS THE BORDER.

Fl 1asO NeWS. Late reports rom Durango state that the Reyes mine, near Santiago Papasquiaro, which is owned by Eduardo R. Arnolds and Hilario Lozayo, will probably be sold to St. Louis parties. Also that an offer of $30,000 has been made for the Providence mine in the same locality by the Wilson company of Cincinnati.
 Mexican Herald: The Industrial Mining company of Chihuahua, is preparing to irrigate 100000 acres of land. A canal is being dug and a dam constructed across the Sina- loa river to secure the necessary water supply. Hydraulic machine " on an extensive scale will be in- stalled to operate the placer mines of the company, situated along the river.
 Torreon Enterprise: Gov. Ter razas. of Chihuahua, has authorized the payment of the $10,000 reward offered by Chihuahua, for the first artesian we'll sunk in the state. The fortunate owners of the we'll live in the northwestern part of the state. The flow. of water is very light, filling an inch pipe not more 1ian half full, but the report of the parties appointed to examine it, was that the flow was genuine, and on that showing the governor has ordered the payment of the re- ward.
 Torreon Enterprise: It is re- ported that the United States em- bassy has presented to the depart ment of foreign relations claim on behalf of certain American citizens against the state govern ment of Durango, fn the matter of the adjustment of the rich and now historic Candelaria mines near San Dimas, in that state, to Daniel M. Burns, of San Francisco, California. This was one of the most severely contested mining cases in Mexico Ss far back as the administration of Governor Flores, with whom the famous California millionaire was on terms of intimate friendship. and who spent many hundreds of  thousands of dollars in the case. If the claim has been presented as reported, in due form, the details cannot fail to be interesting in mining circles.
 Mexican Herald w. T. Milling ton, local manager of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient railroad on the western coast, was in Chi huahua recently. Speaking of the Lluvia de Gro mine in the Urique district, Mr. Millington said: "Mr. Coleman and his associates who have the option on the property for S2,000,000 gold are working it for all there is in it. They have taken out S240,000 dollars gold al- ready but the waste in the tailings is something enormous. The mill has six stamps, but there will soon be 20stamp one on the ground. ! By the terms of payment $50,000 gold is paid on the purchase price and the mine is paying its way and much more. It is a wonder in every way. 1 have some speci- | mems with me and the gold in the rock has much the appearance of nut candy, the gold representing the nuts"
