governed by the law of the 28th day of May, 1888, which says that the interior lakes or rivers which are navigable or "floatable, also the lakes or rivers of any kind which form the boundary line between the republic and any other country. CT the boundary line between any two states are general ways of communication" for their whole length and are. therefore, under federal juris- diction.
 With regard to the other lakes and rivers, that is to say, those not under federal jurisdiction, a person desiring to use them for power or irrigation purposes should obtain a concession from the state in which they are found Every state in the union has a law on the subject and the applicant would do we'll to consult such law before applying for his concession
 In many states, if not in all, the dif- ficulty in obtaining such concession is even greater than it is in securing a federal concession of the like nature. This is occasioned by the fact that the law of the states require the applicant to file his plans, with profiles. etc, at the time he presents his petition for the concession. As has already been shown this is not required in the case of federal concessions. which are graft ed before the plans, etc., are presented.
 Under the existing stamp law, the stamps on water concessions are at the rate of $5 OO per leaf Under the new aw which will comeinto force on the lst of November next, the stamps will be at the same rate per leaf, with an additional $2.OO for every horse power if the con- cession is for thirty years or more, and $l co per horse power, if the conces- sion is for less than thirty years, in the case of water power concessions. With reference to irrigation concessions, the new law will require the same stamp per leaf, with an additional $5 co for every cubic meter per minute. if the concession is for thirty years or more; if for less, S2 50 per cubic meter per second.
 Naturally this comparatively high stamp duty will act as deterrent in the matter of water concessions. On the o'her hand, it seems fair that the gov ernment should receive something sub stantial for the valuable rights and privileges granted concessionaires.

Water Concessions in Mexico

Roughly speaking it may be said that the method of obtaining a concession for either irrigation or for power is prac- tically the same and shall. therefore. not attempt to make any distinction between the two, but deal with both under the general name of water con- sessions"
 These according to the circum- ~ stances, are either federal or state
 The federal concessions are obtained under the law of the 4th of June, 1894. The substance of this law is as follows:
 The executive is empowered to grant water connection with rivers, etc, within federal jurisdiction.
 Naturally the interested party must present a petition to the department asking for the concession. and the pe- titlon must be published in the official organ of the federation and also that of the state in which the water is found, before the concession can be granted.
 Should any opposition arise this is referred to the courts for decision and every concession is granted, subject to the rights of third parties.
 After the concession has been grant ed, plans, profiles. etc., and the tech nical report have to be presented to the department of Fomento-the depart ment which has charge of the class of business within the period allowed for the purpose.
 An inspector has to be appointed by the department to see that the under taking is properly carried out. The salary of the inspector usually amounts 10 S200 per month and must be paid by the concessionaire. Of course, when the works have been concluded both the inspection and the salary cease.
 The concessionaire is obliged to de- poSit certain number of bonds of the public debt by way of guaranty for the due fulfillnent of the terms of the con- cesSion. There is nothing In the law as to the amount of the bonds neces- sary for the purpose. but for a long time past ii has been the practice of the department to require deposit of five thousand pesos in bonds of the Public Consolidated Debt" and to have such deposits made within eight days after the promulgation of the con- Cession. Ii may, therefore be taken that in the future these terms will be exacteo in every case. as if an excep- ton is made in one case, 1t will be asked for and expected in every other. Hence the inclination in all the depart ments of the government to use com mon forms in the cases of concessions of every class.
 Once the works are finished, the de- posit is returned. The value of the bonds, which carry three per cent. in terest, is about 70 per cent The amount of cash necessary to purchase the $5,COo bonds would, therefore, be about $500.
 The exemptions granted concession aires are the following:
 l. Exemptions for five years from federal taxation. stamp duly excepted. on the whole of the capital employed in construction and repairs

New York, April 13.-The joint con.
ference of anthracite operators and
mine workers has adjourned sine die
without reaching an agreement and
negotiations practically have been
suspended.
The miners, at the days conference,
amended their original proposition so
that the agreement asked for may be
made with the anthracite mine work
sTs instead of the United Mine Work
srs OF America and also amended the
checkoff demand so that only those
men who are willing to contribute
shall be assessed In order to pay the
expenses Of carrying out the agree
ment.
II the operators refuse to accept the
amended proposition Of the miners
the wage workers propose that the
original proposition Of the operators
to; the effect that the award Of the
strike commission be renewed for
three years and the amended propo-
sitton of the miners be submitted to
the strike commission for arbitration.
II any of the commissioners cannot
serve Presidents Mitchell proposes that
President Roosevelt fill. the vacancies.
Operators Stand by Proposal.
After the miners double counter
proposition was read President Baer
replied that he regretted that the
miners could not accept their PROPOSE
tions and added that they could not
modify them. The operators, he said,
will answer the miners latest PROPOSE
ton by letter. The conference then
adjourned subject to the call of Pres
idents Baer and Mitchell
President Truesdale of the LacNa-
wanna railroad was asked to explain
Chairman Baer's brief statement. He
said that itscou1d be accepted aa mean
ing that the: operators stand absolutely
by their counter proposition submitted
on Tuesday. AS the situation stands
now Mr.. Truesdale thought it was not
too much to say that negotiations be-
tween the operators and the miners
had practically been suspended The
operators will take up the miners lat
est proposition, however, and make
formal reply early in the coming week.
