American Mining In Mexico.

Down in old Mexico, on the west coast, American enterprise and energy is making rapid progress in the development of that copper and silver region" said John M Brooks a prominent mining engineer stopping at the Hillman.
 "The Cananea Yaqui River and Pacific railway has just completed line 900 miles, from Guaymas, Mex, a seaport town on the west coast to Guadalajara tapping the main line of the Mexican Central and giving a direct route to Mex leo City. This railroad company is, ex cept in name, the same as the Southern Pacific railway. This railway trayerses a barren mountain region full of copper, silver, lead, etc. American capital and American engineers are developing this section with marvellous rapidty. Pres ident Diaz,' said MT. Brooks. 4is very friendly to Americans and readily grants them valuable concessions.
 "In this valuable mineral region known as the District Alamos, copper and silver mines in a small way have been opeR- ated for over POO years but Mexicans are not developers, but with American brains and energy the region will soon be well known in the mining world.
 "The Douglass interests Of New York, whom ] represent, are building q large copper shelter at Fundicon. while Ire Greene Consolidated company are buiid- ing at Guaymas
 "The recent slump in the price of copper won't retard the development in that re- zion at all, as the copper operators feel confident that the price of copper will price"

Where Is All ihe MoneN2

The Journal of Commerce says the present. monetary crisis lis no passing squall. All agree as to this, and all agree that one of the best ways to re- strict it's area consists in keeping money in the banks. The undesirable citizen just at present is he who with draws money from a bank to lock it up in safe deposit vaults or to secrete it in bureau drawers.
 Some money is hoarded, but all agree that the process of hoardinG does not account for the almost in- stantaneous scarcity of cash in New York. The truth is, the withdrawals of money by out-of-town banks had a good deal to do with the New York monetary situation. The out-of-town banks desired to strengthen their home position, and the banks in New York kept an unusual amount of cash on hand for self-protection.
 But few days of quiet and reassur- ing confidence will bring back hoarded money and put reserves on normal basis, and in such times as these money frequently drops in Wall street to low figures A result of this nature is anticipated in the near future in New York

Decorous Crowds.

In the matter of acute interest, the contest at the polls on the prohibition question was a record-breaker in Bir- fmingham,'' said an old politician, and to the credit of this community be 1t said that 1t was notably decorous.
 Not only did the voters turn out with full ranks, but the crowd of women and children In evidence at the voting places numbered. all told, many thousands. Yet notwithstanding the vast multitude, there was little or no friction. There was scarcely a jar. All seemed to be on their good behavior

~ DISPATCH from Helena, Mont,
 PN announces that Secretary Loco
 has broken camp and is now on the way to Washington. It also states on the authority of Harry W. Child that the party had better luck than President Roosevelt had in the eanebrakes of Loulsi- ana" Both of these cheering statements gre borne out oy advices received from Secretary Loeb by Prof. Adam Biggsel, secretary of the Loeb league and prom inent in the Smithsonian institution. Pro lessor Biggsel confirms the report that Secretary Loeb has escaped, alive and well, but he refuses to throw any light upon the disposition of the mastodonic jack rabbit that besiesed the Loeb camp in the Sawtooth mountains.
 Tt is not my province to discuss the matters which concern the Loeb league" says Professor Biggsel is an interview. While the league is working, of course, for the benefit of the whole people, 1t can not take the public into its confidence at all times There are certain features of our presidents experience In Wyoming that must be kept dark. We appreciate the general public qualification over his escape, but we must ask the public to curb It's curiosity. When our honored founder returns he may tell the story of his horrifying encounter, if he likes,

LUSITANIA'S TURBINES.

From the London Times. =
 The six turbines have 994.000 blades and an equal number of spacing pieces be- tween the blades. If the blades and spacing pieces were laid end to end they would extend is2 miles, and their total weight is 19i.o0o pounds. and the surface of the blades exposed to the. action of steam amounts to 114,0oo square feet. A consumption of 1000 tons of coal per day requires about l500 pounds per minutes. Each of the 100 firemen therefore would be required to feed l5 pounds of coal per minutes into the furnaces.
