Indian chief, who stated that the metal

worked by various Spaniards. and later
acquired for the crown OF Spain. 1t was
extensively worked, barring certain

epoch Of the French Intervention, when
the shafts and tunnels are said to have
been concealed by the administrator

was forced to seek safety in fight After
the restoration OF peace Tarasca was

been extensively worked when reds

the description in the archives Of the
American consulate at Guaymas.
But the lost mine about which tradi-

to be located in the Shanaripa district
in Sonora. Little documentary evidence
exists to prove Talopa's reality, and that
has evidently been manufactured by un-
scrupulous manipulators. A wealthy
Mexican gentleman recently made a trip
to Madrid, and after minute search, at

the crown of Spain and no reliable data
In the Mexican archives or elsewhere to
prove that such a mine was ever known.

The New Stock Boom.

With all the world rolling in prosperity
and the United States leading the pro-
cession; with everything now assuring
that right on top of the pile is to be
heaped the greatest crop the continent
has ever harvested, to be sold for more
money than any other crop ever brought;
with the inundation of gold still pouring
Its magic, vitalizing stream, in ever
increasing volume, into the worlds minis;
with the great Orient at last fairly awak-
ened to the new light OF western civil
ization and girdlng itself TO Join the
march OF real progress; with all these
and endless other symptoms, who shall
say to what length this boom of ours may
yet go?
It seemed a few months ago as II
stock prices were at the top notch. Yet
today the pressure OF dammed-up surs-
pluses REINFORCED by augmented earn
ings is breaking the limitations OF es-
tablished dividend rates, and 1t Is sud
denly become the fashion for the trans
portation and industrial corporations to
give their shareholders generous slices
Some Of them are doing 1t frankly and
directly; others. by process OF increasing

comes to the same end. The owners OF
securities are at last to come into re-
turns somewhat commensurate with the
real earnings.

capital. Norfolk and Western practically
doing the same. Great Northern quoted
as far above 800 are only manifesto
