cession to Mr. Meade and associates to take up certain pavements for the purpose of working out the gold and silver ores. Those streets were paved many years ago with the ore refuse from one of the mines close by, when they did not have machinery good enough to extract their complete values. The torn up streets are to be relaid in asphalt from the oil wells of the Mexican Petroleum Company, q Los Angeles concern. The con- ccssionaires hope to strike other gold leadings even in the city of San Luis Potosi. A few weeks ago, another mining man, an American Dudley II. Norris, found copper in the outskirts of the city of Zaca- tecas a place like San Luis Potosi, situated on highlands singularly devoid of water. Norris has com menced mining for the valuable ore. following the unfolding vein, with a yield of 20 per cent, along the streets in the outskirts of Iacatecas.

ACROSS THE BORDER.


 of the Mexican Union as a manu- iacturing point, has just instituted apother industrial undertaking, inc San Bernade Bottling works. This industry is located at the foot of Topo Chico mountain, whose mineralized waters are used all over Mexico. The building is 65xl75 feet in size. Two water tanks have been built with a united capacity of 27,000 gallons. The total capacity of the plant is 2250 tons of ice and 10000 bottles of soda and mineral waters per day. The cost was $200,000. The machinery is American.
 Mexican Herald: Ralph Beach, president of New York company, which has been operating the fam ous iron mines at Ferreria de Tula together with the iron foundry at the same place for several years, pay ing a yearly rental of $50, ,O0O, has secured an option on the proper ties from the owner, Manuel Cor cuerca, wealthy hacendado, of Guadalajara, for $700,00O gold. The company proposes to build a standard guage railroad from the mines to Cofradia, small station on the Zapotlan branch of the Mexican Central road north of Sayula. Work on the line has al- ready commenced, and if the pur. chase of the property is made 1t will be rushed to completion. At the present time the company is forced to transport the foundry products for several miles in carts.
 Mexican Herald. The recent move of the Southern Pacific Com pany is now attracting attention to iron possibilities on the Pacific Coast of Mexico Mir. Rockefeller has acquired vast deposits on the Pacific coast, from Lower Caliior- mia down towards Central Ameri- ca. The iron deposits at the mouth of the Balsas river, in Guerrero, secured by the Pacific Steel Company, rival the celebrated Mercado deposits in Durango. Among the plans anticipated by the American investors in that is the erection of a S10,0O0, ,000 shelter and steel plant at San Diego, to handle the output from western Mexico. The Mexican venture was first instituted by John l.. Moylan, an American engineer and contractor in this city, who discovered the iron de- posits early in 1903. The tracts covers 5000 acres. The iron de- posit forms mountain, not hill as in Durango, fully 5000 feet in height, or ten ti m e the height of Mercado. Mir. Moylan calls it a quarry proposition, indicating its enormous possibilities. The ore runs to 6S per cent on the average It is Bessemer iron, but below the Bessemer limit in phos- phrous. Millions of feet of uncut timber in that locality will for many years furnish the necessary fuel.
 Mexican Herald: Gold values have been discovered under the pavements of the city of San Luis Potosi. Not that the streets of that old city are paved with gold, though the gold leads from the San Pedro mines may indeed run underneath its houses and streets. Mir. and Mrs c Meade. who have

pleted and during the week cars laden with
bridge iron have been run over upon II and

The rainy weather of the past four or

The trestle work on which the steel work
of the new bridge will first be built is al
most completed from the District side of
the bridge to the draw pier, and is well
in advance of the iron work
The preliminary work on the new high
way bridge over the river, is also prospecting
slowly. Since the ice left the river. the
locations for the new stone piers have been
marked with trenches of piles, and the
foundation for the first pier at the Virginia
end of the bridge. is being dug As yet
there Is no sign of the bridge showing and,
1t is stated, it will be several weeks before
the first pier is showing above the surface
of the river. On the Potomac park, at
its southern side excavations are being
made, 1t is stated. for the pier that will
form the retaining wall for the approach to
the new bridge from the Washington end.

AT REQUEST OF SARGOOD
MOreInterestins Evidence Brought
out in the Sargood
Trial Today.

At the afternoon session of court
Friday, Prof Wiltse of the state labor
atory testified that he examined the
white powder that was sent to the state
laboratory and the cupsin which it was
found The analysis showed it to be
hydrate of potash, generally known as
caustic potash.
This given as medicine in Eve drop
doses, even if diluted with water, is
powerful medicine. 1t is a corrosive
poison and if taken other than in the
form of medicine, is death.
Had Mr. Hicks drank the water that
was given him instead of splitting it
out when he tasted it, the result woul d
have been fatal He also testified 70
finding arsenic in the stomachs of the
horses. His testimony was quite inter-
esting.
Alfred Buck testified as TO where the
box OF paris green was found under a
work bench in Hicks barn.
Frank Taylor, a member OF Woods
detective agency Of Boston, testified
that he knew both parties aud had been
engaged on the eases f'r several weeks

queer people in Arlington, to which,
Sargood acquiesced. Coming to speak

According to information received at
Seoul, forty Japanese transports, es-

been energetically landing troops In
Korea at Fusan and Chemulpo. 1t is
estimated that fully 100000 men have
disembarked, and it is supposed that
an immediate advance into northern
Korea is contemplated.

1t is expected on the part of the Rus

operations will be started. Torpedo

SUICIDE IN CLARENDON.

With Oscar Potter.

Rutland, March 4:--Mrs Mary

racter, who was living with Oscar
Potter, of Clarendon, was found dead
in bed about O'Clock Thursday. In
the bed we're several letters written to
her by Potter and beside the bed was
glass containing carbolic acid, a
part of which she is supposed to have
taken with suicidal intent
Mrs Parks was born in Wells in
1867. In addition to the letters found
were her insurance papers. She was
divorced from her husband year

living with Potter, and it is thought
