MEXICAN SILVER POLICY.

The Mexican government is endeavor-
ing to afford the silver miners, to whom
it has just closed its market, every ia
cility for disposing of their products.
A recent executive decree provides the
following facilities for market in silver
through government offices. This is a
little in advance of the attitudes of
other governments toward silver, but it
was justified by the preponderence of
the silver mining industry in Mexico.
The terms of this extraordinary decree
are as follows: "a
"Article l. There is established a
public service, of which the directors of
the minis will have charge, for the pur-
pose of advancing funds to persons so
requesting on bars of silver which they
may deliver in the republic to be sold
abroad, and of selling these bars on be-
half of the interested parties on the best
possible conditions, without charging
any commission or interest for the gov
eminent, but also without loss to the
exchequer as a result of these oper-
ations.
cart. 2. The department of finance
will determine, in the respective rules
of practice, the condition on which adj
vances are to be made to the owners of
silver bars and the requirements and
lformalities that have to be fulfilled In
all operations connected with the matter
until the final liquidation and payment
of the balance which said liquidation
shows to be owing to the interested
parties.
cart. 8. The same department will
enter into the necessary contracts for
the sale abroad of bars belonging to
private persons who may desire to util-
ize the service in question, with the
understanding that all expenses for
those contracts, as well as expenses for
freight, insurance, refining, and others
in connection with the silver bars, will
be charged against the interested par
ties, and will therefore be deducted
from the proceeds of the sale.
cart. A. The service to which this
law refers will commence in the mint OF
Mexico city on May l., 1905, and in the
assay Offices outside the capital on days
to be fixed by the finance department,
as circumstances may permit. Said
service will cease at the Office where
few bars are presented when the execu-
tive of the union sees fit to so direct by
means of Decree"

The Idaho Press, published at Wal
lace, Idaho, has printed map of Idaho
showing the extent of present and pro-
posed forest reserves in this state.
According to this map which is probably
quite accurate, about one-fourth of the
state has been, or is about to be, with
drawn from settlement. The magnitude
of the reserves may be better appreci-
ated by making a few comparisons.
The area of forest reserves in Idaho will
be greater than the combined area OF
the entire states Of New Hampshire and
Vermont; greater than the combined
area of the entire states of Massachus-
etts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
New Jersey. They will occupy nearly
as much territory as all the kingdom of
Scotland, two-thirds as much. as the
kingdom of Ireland, nearly twice as
much as the Netherlands, one and half
times as much as Switzerland, nearly as
much as all Greece. Caldwell Tribune.

SALTPETER IN ARIZONA.

If the recently discovered deposit of
saltpeter, near Wickenburg, Ariz., while
yet only under development, justifies
the development of California capital,
then an industry of prime Importance
to America will have been established.
AS a consumer of saltpeter--principally
in the manufacture of g1npowder and
artificial fertilizers-the United States
is a profitable source of revenue to
India, the sole producer at present.
True, saltpeter exists in many parts of
the world, but the economic Importance
of deposits other than those of India
has still to be proved. Good prices are
obtained for the mineral, and as con-
sumption is large, there should be ener-
getic prospecting, especially in the
United States. Mining World.

WOMEN IN MEDICAL FIELD.

Out of Is applications for the post
of assistant medical officer of the
Bracebridge Lincolnshire, Eng) lu-
natic asylum, Miss Jessie B. Hunter
was selected. Miss Hunter has occu-
pied the position at a private asylum
in Lincolnshire since 1902, and has
held the position of assistant house
surgeon at Glasgow infrmary. She is
M. B. and c. B. of Glasgow uni
versity.
DIR. Mary Stone, of Australia, sent
paper to the national women's con-
gress urging the establishment of
"epileptic colonies" in view of the
fact that the ranks of criminals are
continually and materially reinforced
by children, weak-willed, moral and
physical degenerates who are easily
led into vice, and she asks for the
segregation of these unfortunates that
their kind may not be multiplied.
Taking credit that belongs to others
deceives no one so much as yourself.
DR.. l. Rosa Minoka is a young In
dian doctor, who, having won hOnors
as a graduate of the Women's Med
ical college of Pennsylvania and
served with credit as resident physi-
clan of the Women's hospital, Of
Philadelphia, has now opened an Of
fee in the city. She is said to be not
only fine doctor but handsome and
interesting young woman.
1t is said that there are now in
France 80 women doctors, 80 of whom
are in regular practice. The way, I'M
til within the last rs years, has been
made very difficult for women who de-
sired to practice medicine. There is
little chivalric feeling in the country,
and open derision and insulting re-
fusal to all applications for opportuni-
ties to study have been the rule. To-
day there is a great revulsion of feel
ing-or manner-and at present the
woman doctor is encouraged and
smiled upon-a pleasant change.

DUBOIS MOTIVE =?

The Mining News, moved thereto by
the spirit of charity and justice toward
one F. T. Dubois has, with intimate
patience and labor, read the screed al
legged to have emanated from him anent
the "forest reserve" situation IN Idaho;
this in the hope, faint though it was, OF
finding some extenuating circumstance
which would, in a measure at least, pal
late the peculiar infamy of the attitude
assumed by him in the premises. The
paper is pleased to state that its labor
has not been barren of results along the
lines suggested. The extenuating con-
ditions exist alright, but must be looked
for between the lines of the senator S
remarkable effusion, which in itself
consists merely of mass of generates,
dull and blatant as the man, and pos
sessing no merit of even an academic
nature.
The only good purpose accomplished
by the forty odd pages of type written
manuscript fathered by Dubois, lies in
the stripping of the author of the last
rag of decency which was left him in
the popular mind from his filthy cam
paign of last falls election, and leaves
him among that class of outcasts some
what broadly described as moral idiots.
Among the various terms of opprobrlum
we have heard applied to the fellow,
that of Judas has been oftenest used,
and with the least justice, for however
heinous Iscariot's treason may have
been, or how cheaply bought, ne at
least was business man enough to secure
the price of lot in the notter's field.
