SILVER MUST PAY DUTY.
Mexican Government Will Collect Duty cn Mexican Dollars After
 January i.

Consul Max Gavito has received of ficial announcement, says the Naco Budget. that on the first day of Jan uary a duty on Mexican silver dollars going from foreign countries into Mex 5co will be collected. The Mexican government has put a value of 50 cents gold on the dollar of every silver dollar of Mexican coinage in circula- ton The value is guaranteed by a gold deposit. There is in circulation m the world, particularly in Asia, -nany millions of Mexican silver. and to prevent a flood of this coin being brought into Mexico, and thereby giv- ing an enormus profit to the importers, fhe government has imposed a duty of s1O per kilcgram tor about $10 per hundred) on these collars. This law COes not affect the paper money in any way. nor the fractional coins. A person going into Mexico after the first of the year can take five Mexi- can silver dollars free of duty; all the dollars above that amount will be weighed and the duty collected on them. The regular customs inspec tors at Mexican ports will attend to this collection, and they will be em- powered to search the persons of those who cross the l.ne if there is reason to believe they have more than the stipulated five dollars on them.

c. H. and J. T. Goshen came to the city Sunday morning from Douglas. They will remain until this evening. The purpose of their visit is to place a few hundred shares of the develop ment stock of their company, the Edo rado Gold & Silver Mining Co. They have met so far with much success here. where they are well acquainted, having reSiCed in the city for over three years before moving to Douglas.
 The Fl Dora6o Gold & Silver Mining Co.'S property consists of six of the most promising gold claims in the country, the principal vein being a contact Assure with numerous spurs or veins intersectng the contact vein The latter is easily traced through the entire length of three claims, The southeast or hanging wall is andesite. while the foot wall $ an intrusive porphyry dyke The main shaft on this property is now to a depth of about 5 feet The vein was only 1 inches on the surface. and has now widened to almost the full width of the shaft. From the fact that the po7phy- " dyke is cut by numerous small veins of rich ore and is so highly mineraliz- ed. all who have seen the property are of the opinion that with depth the dyke will itself prove paying ore.
 Assays taken along the contact vein for distance of 45OO feet give values Of from SC gold to $500 gold. with COT siderable silver, lead, copper and iron. to say nothing of the wire gold found in several places along the ven. This vein is from l foot to feet wide, with numerous feeders dipping toward it. some of which are very rich in gold and silver. Samples can be seen al room 15, Post Office building. where the company has opened temporary | quarters, for the purpose of selling a couple of thousand shares of stock. The latter is OF the market at s6 per share. With the proceeds derived from the sale of the block now being marketed it is is proposed to sink the shaft 100 feet further, from which depth a drift will be run.

RICH GlLsONITE LANDS.
Contest for Them on Before Colorado Land Board That May Net State
 School Large Sum.

Denver. Dec. 19.-Another contest is on in the state land board. It is be- tween the Asphaltum Mining company and w F. Webb, and involves a tract of land located twenty miles from the Moffat road in Branu county.
 This land is asphaltum bearing IT. 1887, according to the evidence pre- sented before Register Mark G. WooG- ruff, Webb "grubstaked" sall the land to a miner and located three claims on the contested territory. The claims were sold to the Colorado Gilsoni.e company. but the miner finally failed, owing. il is alleged, $4,O0O to a com pany that afterwards became the Am erican Asphaltum company. and $2,O00 to Webb. The later fo-eclosed and bought the claims
 The present situation is that both parties now claim to own the land Contests have been filed before both the state and federal land boards The dividing lines have never been run closely. and both sides have been taking out gilsonite, and have been oc cupying the land since 1897. There is consequently due the state large sum in royalties on the gilsonite which has been taken out since that time.
 The land board has decided not tc settle the contest until a new survey is made and the boundaries clearly determined.

MY BURGLAR.
BY STOCK THOMAS.


 Copyright. 1904. by Daily Story Pub.
 Co.) T have always had a secret admir- ation for 6 man who has courage and grit enough in his makeup to adopt burglary as a profession. The burglar who, alone and unaided, breaks into the house of a total stranger and takes all the chances against burglar alarms. bulldogs and attempts to run tho gauntlet of baby carriages and .oId-fashioned rocking chairs in the dark hallway. to say nothing of the possibiIity of the family awaking and resenting his intrusion, and with the police and States prison loom- ing up in the background, must be a man with the courage of his convic- tions, or he could never stand the ner- vons .strain of so much night work and the constant change of scenery and post office address that his chosen vocation entails.
 I have always wondered how it would seem to yak up in the stilly night and suddenly confront a burg lar going through the drawers of tho dresser, or attempting to extract revenue from pair of trousers that never, even in flush of times. con tained more than street car fare. am certain that no man has less cause to I have. do not believe in keeping any quantity of money about the house; if is fooihardy and unsafe. As soon as we get any money ahead my wife and I always look around for judi cfous investment. We usually invest the bulk of 1t in groceries, and lay the remainder out for house rent. Yet I know of no house that could be more successfully burglarized than ours. nor one that would pan out less to the square foot of bulk
 had always thought that if I should be called upon to entertain d burglar in my home during the small hours in the back part of the night, [ would do 1t in a pleasant off-hand manner. would insist on his not doing bungling job. If there Is anything hate to see it Is poor work naanship If am to be burgiarized. want to be robbed in a thorough and systematic manner. by man who understands his business and has a. reputation to sustain
 Consequently when I awoke a few nights ago and saw a man going through the contents of the bureau drawers. felt that at last I was to come face to face with a real burg lar. He was standing with his back

UNDER WHICH PARTY?
PoPULIsTs SEEM TO BE CONFRONT
 ING DILEMMA.
Secretary of staate Tn noubt As I'd the Emblem to Use on Their
 Ballet For Nlee-

Either the Popuiist Party or the Peoples Party in Alabama is in bad fix. The ofice force of the Secretary of State does not know which party 1t is that is up against perplexins condition.
 Tn fact the Secretary of state does not know whether there is a Populist Party of a Peoples Party in the State. In fact the members of that party which has travelled under both names do not know what the proper title of the party is. That is the matter now.
 In the ofiice of the Secretary of state there has been filed an emblem of the Populist Party. The emblem is . cir cle containing representation of a blow. a saw. and . miners pick. But no set of electors has been filed to go with the emblem.
 On tho other hand a committee call- ing itself the Executive Committee of the Peoples Party of Alabama, has filed set of candidates for. electors The Peoples Party of Alabama has not filed an emblem and there is no way for the names of the candidates for electors to be placed on the ticket
 The Populist Party has an embIer, but no candidates for electors The Peoples Party has set of candidates for electors but no party emblem.
 The Secretary of State cannot have the emblem printed on the ticket with out < list of candidates for electors and the list of candidates for electors cannot be printed without an emblem.
 Under the law the Secretary of State is unable to relieve the situation. He cannot by main strength and awk- wardness" bring the two horns of the dilemma together. He cannot over step the explicit provisions of the gem eral election law. It Is possible that @ condition may arise whereby Thomas D Watson, the Populist nominee for President may not get any votes in Alabama.
 It is possible that some sort of &C., ton to relieve the situation may be taken today. Secretary of State Mo- David yesterday had q conversation over the long distance telephone with a prominent Populist of North Ala. bama- It has been suggested that a sort of convention be held today and that full set of electors to go under the Populist emblem be nominated. This will probably be done today.
 Tomorrow is the last day on which the names of candidates may be filed in the office of the Secretary of State under the general election law. A Populfst convention might be held to- day and the Peoples Party candidates for electors be renominated as the Populist electors.
 If this is not done there does not seem to be any way open to the loyal Populist by which he may vote for Thomas P. Watson.

 The Committee was divided into suo committees. for the purpose or can .o ing tho business center with view securing subscriptions to the cap,,a. stock Of q proposed corporation TOT ,ne purpose of erecting a ten or t"eaIo story steel construction, fire prooI olio. building on the site of the 6ap'iss Church lot. at the intersection

Davidson and Thomas @ Gunter. The subcommittee went Actively to work to canvass the busi- ness district, and spent four days d. inc work. These sub-committees secured cash subscriptions amounting to Ss,400 with numerous promises which, in the opinion of the commit tee. will result in securing supscrip- tions amounting to $20,000.
 The sub-committees report that their failure to secure more liberal suoscrip- tions was not occasioned by reason or the proposed location, but by reason or our business men not having avaiiapIe funds to invest in an office building. ;.
 'sThe committee is of opinion that IT 1t could secure as much as $75,0oO in subscriptions. it could induce foreign capitalists to take the remainder Of the stock and thus assure success.
 While the committee is discouraged at the failure of the citizens to respond to the solicitation for subscriptions, 1t has hoped that success will eventually crown its efforts to secure for Mont gomery modern office building.
 Some citizens from whom the com mittee had expected liberal subscrip- tions are out of the city; still others have the matter under consideration, and the committee Is not without hope of ultimate success.
 The committee will meet again this evening at the Commercial and Indus- trial Association rooms. at 6 o'clock, and at that time 1t, will decide upon It's future action in the premises. It will appreciate suggestions either through the press or otherwise, from citizens who recognize the importance of securi h for Montgomery a modern ofIlce building. The committee in- dulges the hope, however, that such suggestions will be made over the sig natures of the writers, in order that the committee may know the origin of the suggestions, and be in position to lay before the writers the experiences with which the committee has met.
 subscription blanks will be found at the offices named, and all progress sive citizens are invited to come for ward and enter their subscriptions for the stock of the proposed corporation" ["
