ordered that operations be com menced on 1t. The company has just levied an assessment on stock holders for the purpose of paying for the new machinery that will be installed in the mine. The com pany at present has sixteen stamp mill near the Pinzan, but the lack of transportation facilities has heretofore been a great draw back and has prevented the ship, ment of ore from Guerrero. By means of the new machinery that the company is having installed in the Garduno mine, however, 1t will be possible to get out great deal of ore. and even the lack of trans. portation facilities will not be able to interfere very much with the successful operation of the mine. Al present a good deal of ore and concentrates are being shipped to market, and these shipments will be considerably increased in the near future. According to Mir. Bedford. the Garduno mine is just now attracting good deal of at tention among mining men, but, he says. there is no stock to sell, and the present owners are well satisfied to retain their holdings and trust to the future develop ment of the property for the real,
 ization of their reward.

 falling there more or less regularly | since July 3. In the mountains particularly good rains have pre- vailed, and in the capital city there has not been a day since the night of July 3 that there has not been rain. The railroads are sui- ferers to a greater or lesser extent. The Orient road has had good part of it's bridge at Aldama washed out and traffic was interrupted be- tween Chihuahua and San Sostenes station. The Mexican Central's trains from the south have uni formly been late for nearly two weeks.
 Mexican Herald: The promoters in the Nuevo Leon capital of the projected new potasi- mite factory to be erected there are said to be pushing the matter actively, though they are not giv- ing out much definite data in re- gard to it. Nearly all of the neces- sary capital has been subscribed, and arrangements are drawing to definite close for beginning actual construction work on the plant. It is believed that this will be com pleted during the year and that the product will during that time be placed upon the market. Some of the principal people of Monterey are said to be interested in this fac tory, which will be built near Topo Chico and will have a capacity sui ficient to fill the demand for ex- plosives in that part of the repub- lie at least.
 Chihuahua Enterprise; The ex- tension of the K. C., NJ. and 0. railroad 100 kilometers westward from Midaca and the active grad ing of the second 100 kilometers, is encouraging mining companies to build better trails from their mines to the points on the railroad. Following the Batopilas Mining Company is the Rio Plata Mining Company. D. w. Shanks, mana ager of the latter concern, has ordered the construction of a trail from Las Tascates, which is point on the second 100 hundred kilo meters of the Orient road, 10 it's Santa Barbara mine on the Sep tentrion river, with a steel suspen- sion bridge over that stream. The length of the trail will be about 100 kilometers. From Las Tas- cates it will pass through Poroche and Ticomochic and within about 20 miles of Urique. Probably the next important trail project will he one from Urique and Lluyia de Orc to the Orient road.
 Mexican Herald: A story has been going the rounds of the Amer ican newspapers to the effect that the Garduno mine, in the State of Guerrero, has been filled with water from the overflow of the Balsas river. The absurdity of this story is evident when it is stated that the Garduno is about twenty-one miles from the Balsas. It is true that there has been water in the Garduno, but this was caused by the seepage of rain into the mine, which has been neglected for long time, as the company was devoting all it's attention to the working of the Pinzan mine, the latter being nearer to the mill. The Garduno had not been worked for the past five years, until few

VENICE, Dec. 1.-Since the compile

model of the Star wave motor, now

ton purposes at the north end of the
breakwater, the interest and objective
point Of the visiting public appears to
have become centralized by the plant.
with its complex machinery and In
Vulnerable unique devices, all of which
are explained by attendants, 1t is prov
ing by actual results the claim Of the
inventor, Fred Star, that in the motor
he has evolved the only practicable
machine ever constructed for utilizing
wave power for commercial purposes.
To hear explained the workings of the
motor and the trials covering more
than twelve years of research and ex-
periments that the inventor devoted to
the perfection of his ideas Is an In
teresting story.
Mr.. Star became interested in wave
motor construction while employed In
the capacity Of a mechanic at the
Pullman shops in Chicago and the
study of the subject soon became a
hobby with him. He investigated
every patent having to do with wave
motors on file at Washington and he
made special study Of the causes
that had sooner or later spelled failure
to the armies Of wave motor construc-
tionists that had preceded him. In his
conclusions Mr.. Star found that with
out exception all wave motors had
shown the same weakness that had
eventually led to their abandonment,
that they had to be so strongly built
to resist the terrific power of the
storm waves that in ordinary weather
they were inert, immovable And
from this point the inventors task
narrowed down to the evolution of a
ratchet for the operation Of his motor
compressors that should be as deli
cate as the balance wheel of watch
and as strong as a storm roller.
His idea was to evolve a right and
left ratchet that must operate with
both the rising and falling undulation

In Memory Of Leo Warren

1t is with pain we record the
demise Of Leo Warren, the
eighteen-year-old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. II. Warren Of Winnemurra.
He died at his home in that
town on the morning of the 18th
of typhoid fever. He had been
sick for about three weeks, and
in his untimely death the State
loses one of it's best young men.
Leo Warren was as good as gold,
and had heart that took in the
universe, The writer knew him
we'll, and the more he saw OF his
budding character the moro re-
spect he had for him; Leo War
rem was one boy in 10000. lie
was the soul of honor, and had n
character that would have made
of him a leader in his native
State. All that parents, friends,
medical science and the best Of
nursing could do for him was
done, but all was Of no avail, for
God said Come, E." and there
was no appeal from the decision.
Poor Leo's happy smile is now
cast in clay and his voice is for
ever stillcd.

the horses made a sharp turn
and upset the carriage, throwing
the occupants violently to the
ground. Mrs. Wales was quite
badly injured, but no bones were
broken. Mrs. Diekerson was
shaken up and her nose cut.
Her eyes are very black from
the injury to her nose, but she Is
all right, or will be in a few

Finance Committee that the
General Committee could safely
count on 81 100 or 81, 300 to carry
ont any programme that might
be arranged.
James II. Caskill, Chairman
of the Committee on Sports, re-
ported that his committee had
things we'll III hand, but as
vet had not fully determined
Just what the programme would
be, but that he thought his COM
mittee would offer prizes
amounting to $3.50 for a drilling
contest, and that three or more
teams must enter. The Com
mittce on Sports had set aside
for its use in prizes and expenses
5000.
Mrs. Lewis was selected as
Chairman OF the Committee on
Music, vice Mrs. A. D. Campton,
who leaves for California Thurs
day morning. Mrs. Lewis re-
ported that arrangements had
been made for Il strong chorus OF
twenty-five voices and for two
quartets. She also reported
that music had been sent for
and she thought the expenses OF
her committee would be about
$40.
The Committee on Decoration
reported what material it wanted
to properly dress the grand stand
and the other decorating it will
be called upon to do, and sug-
gested that as little as it coulo
get along with was $l20. After
some discussion it was voted thai
5000 be set aside for the use ot
that committee.
Mrs. Peacock, for the Commit
tee on Children's Exercises, re.
ported that she would have the
little folks in line and would put
them through a flag drill.
No report was received from
the Reception Committee.
j. "A. Fesler of the Commit.
tee on Dance asked for $3.50 to
carry out the arrangements

zens and others in the evening
His committee was voted the
