 Mexican Herald The apostolic delegate to Mexico, Mgr.

It is his purpose. in accordance with the practice of the . see of Rome, to ascertain if the services and customs of religious worship continue in perfect har- mony with the laws and prescrip- ton of the church, and if there has been departure from them, take such measures as may tend to the restriction of uniformity. It is in ! this way that the unity of the Catholic faith is promoted, and the most jealous care is exercised that no differences in the details of the form of worship may creep in among the Catholic communion.

 Mexican Herald. Railroads are now gathering the results of the orders placed during the last few
 weeks Carload after carload of merchandise is now being hurried south in order that the shipments may be delivered in Mexico before September l, the date upon which the newly imposed duties will go into effect. The traffic men have made promises to many shippers that their goods could be placed south of the international boundary before the time and every effort is being made by foreign agents as well as by the representatives of the local lines to get the consignments in before they will be caught by the new tariff. It is expected that be- fore the end of the month the ship ments will increase in numbers for there are still north of the border many conslgnments which it will be necessary to get in before the specified time. In order to get in as much as possible before the new duties go into effect the merchants throughout the republic placed unusually large orders during the last few weeks and in each case the railroad representatives promised to do all that was possible to de- liver the goods. It IS not impro- bable that as The time grows short CT the attention given the moving of cars containing that class of goods will increase and that on the last day of the month extra ordinary pains will be taken to make good the word of the con- tracing agents who secured the shipments.

were very readily supplied. All this
simply shows that investors are ready
for any good mining stock that prom

which were made In these various
camps many districts IN our own state
have demanded money for development.
There are Ia Beaver county several
most promising prospects, which have
been developed during the year and
companies have been organized and
stocks offered for sale. Perhaps the
most remarkable one of the county Is
the Frisco Contact. The stock Of this
company was offered early I'm the year;

Capital Stock Reduced.
At recent meeting OF shareholders
It was decided to reduce the capital
stock OF the corporation from S6,0Oo,oo0
to sl,5O0,O0O. the present number OF
shares being 10000. In the reduc-

treasury 100000 worth OF their per-
sonal stock, and It now contains seven
sixteenth Of the entire capitalization.
When the company was formed orig

three properties. but the development
OF the Continental Alta has proved
to be q valuable asset, largo enough
for the company to handle alone. Tho
