among tnOSe WHO nave DCCu
writing to US regarding the prop
critics of
I The North
Mexican
mt
Co.
that it is simply a mining prop
osition. This is a mistake, as it
is a general development COM
pany, and does not depend upon
its mining interests alone for its
profits. The timber lands owned
by this company, for which an
immense market is springing up,
will at a minimum estimate show
a net profit of from $500 to $500
per acre for the timber alone,
aside from their value for agri
cultural and stock raising pur-
poses. This alone should make
the stock of this company worth
$500 per share within twelve
months.
In addition to what we now own
the company controls by option
over $4,000 acres of the finest
timber and ranch lands in Mex
leo, into which railroads are now
being extended, from which an
immense profit will be made.
A message recently received
from our President, Mr.. Davis,
states that ore had been struck
in one of our mines. the "Aven-
turera," running 1900 to the
ton. For several years, as
shown by the American and
Mexican Smelters, to whom the
ore was shipped. this mine pro-
duced from SEQ to 1000 tone of
ore per month, even under the
crude and unbusinesslike meth
DDS by which it was worked.
The records of the property
show the maximum, not mini
mum, cost of production to be
S3G5 per ton, to mine and dellv-
er at the Smelter. These costs
are not estimates. but actual
figures taken from the COM
pany's accounts. In such inn
mense ore bodies, there is 10
reason why a Judicious eXpen-
diture of q moderate amount Of
capital, should net bring the pro
duction IN TO more than 5000
tons rer month, and maintain it
at that figure for many years
to come. The net profit on low
grade ore will run IS to $1,000
per ton. Assuming for safety
that three-fourths of the ore will
be classed as low grade ore, and
the output maintained at a min
imum of 1000 tons per month,
there would result monthly net
profit of $4,000 to $40 600 With
an output of 5000 tons per
month, this profit would be more
than doubled. It is more than
probable that ores of very much
higher values will come in with
deeper workings. The great
Mexican Camps Of Santa Eula-
LA, Sierra Mojada. Pen2les and
Monterey have each maintained
for years a product of over 1000
tons of ore per day, and there is
no reason why this company
should rot do as well or even
better. The San Rafael Mines
are paying $500 per share per
month, the Pcnoles $4,000 per
share, and the Norias de Raian
$4,000, in fact IS Of the more
noted mines in Mexico pay near
~ S9.000.000 in dividends annual
ly, and our properties are as

BuckMAN's DEFENSE is DUE

Unless Congressman Buchanan can
speedily clear himself of the implied
charges in the suit that has been
brought against him for timber tres
pass he must be considered out of the
running in the Sixth district, for it is
inconceiyable that people will sup
port a man for Office who is charged,
by reluctant complainant of his own
political faith, with having raided the
forest lands of the state and deprived
the state school funds of many thou
sands of dollars.
We do not believe that the public
conscience is dead, but the disclosures
that have been made of official con-
nivance at the segregation by individ-
uals of public property shows that the
official conscience needs quickening.
The Buchanan suit was only brought
by the attorney general after the
clamor in the public press had grown
deafening. The attorney general seems
to have conceived the idea that there
would be time enough to sue the pres
ent congressman and former. state sem
ator after the present campaign. The
attorney general inherited the duty of
bringing the action and he went about
the work of suing very deliberately.
Now the facts, according to the in
formation long, held by the state audi
tor and pigeonholed in the attorney
generals Office, are regularly and le-
gally before the public.
The people of the Sixth district owe
it to themselves to carefully consider
the bearing of the charges made, on
the claims of a seeker for public Office.
Mr. Buchanan cannot afford to ignore
the fact that he is defendant in a case
brought by the state, not merely to
collect moneys due the state from him,
but to enforce heavy penalties for
trespass on state lands.
The congressman is given an oppor-
tunity to defend himself before the
people. If he does not avail himself of
this opportunity then it is plainly the
duty of the respectable and law-abid-
ing voters of his district to reject him
and his claims to their franchises.

BOSTON, Oct. 10.-The archbishop

ing various parts of the world address,
ed a great missionary mass meeting in
fremont Temple tonight. The attend
ance was so large that it was necessary
to hold an overflow meeting in St.
PauPs church, at which most of the
addresses were repeated. The address
of the archbishop was probably the last
he will make during his stay in Amer
lea. He put in the day by speaking at
three gatherings. He was presented a
loving cup at Bishop Lawrence's resi-
dence by st. Stephens church, of East
Liverpool, Ohio, and in accepting it
spoke briefly. AT noon he addressed
the Evangelical alliance in Park Street
Congregational church The English
primate met the members of the Epis-
copalian club at an informal reception
held at the University club during the
afternoon.
The principal business transacted by
the convention today was the adoption
of a resolution naming Richmond. Va.
as the place for the next triennial con-
vention in 1907. The house of deputies
in executive session voted to confirm
the election of Rev. Edward w Os-
borne, of Boston, superior of the Amer
lean branch of the Society of Mission

is HE A DRAGON

The Chicago Tribune, by way Of re-
bul1ing the Brooklyn Eagle for describ-
ing Col. Roosevelt as dragon" goes
on to prove that he is dragon, a
rough riding, heavily armed cavalry
man with a war record that borders
close to ferocity when it is not check
cred by insubordinate protest against
the man at the top.
But is Col Roosevelt a Dragon, ex-
cept for political purposes? He is a
smart politician. That much is con-
coded by the most bitter of his oppe-
nents. He came to the front in the
country in the days when it was
enough that man bore arms to insure
for him an enthusiastic welcome in any
field, political or social. Flushed with
the success of a war that obliterated
party lines, Col. Roosevelt came back
from Cuba when the khaki covered
nothing but heroes. simultaneously
IL
with the stories of his prowess as a
rough rider who would rather fight than
eat. His cowboy past was brought to
liSht and the colored troops in the San
Juan charge we're forgotten in the
fierce white light that was thrown on
DR.. Woods lieutenant colonel While
other heroes were satisfied with medals
and promise Of reward Col. Roosevelt
had the exceeding good sense to turn
his Iaurels to some account and he ac-
cepted the nomination for governor of
New York before the enthusiasm of the
populace could cool.
Col. Roosevelt did in Cuba that thing
which came to his hand. So did Gen.
Joe Wheeler, so did Dewey and Fitz
Hugh Lee, Lawton, Schley, Hobson
and scores of others in many fields.
But they did not all seek to realize on
their Iaurels. They were not smart pol
iticians.
1t is not because Col. Roosevelt has
the record of dragoon that he is
questionable. presidential timber, but
rather because he is a smart politician
who would not hesitate to be the dra-
COON in the worst sense of the word if
he thought it would profit him polit-
ically The best in Roosevelt is mill
