TO cHANGE MEXIcAN LAWS

Important changes will. in all prob
ability, be made in the mining laws
Of Mexico. An amendment is 10
before the federal congress, which, It
Is generally believed will be passed
without opposition.
MeAlco's mining laws are especial
y favorable to operations of Ameri-
Gan capitalists and miners, and they
10 not exclude foreigners from de-
houneing claims at will. 1t is un-
ooubtedly due to the fact that only
very slight improvements could be
made that the present agitation for
amending the laws has caused COM
pafatlVely small interest on the part
OF the public at large.
however, the situation has so
enahged In that country during the
last lew years that changes in the
INNING laws are required to meet the
new conditions. SO many applications

FREE GOLD NEAR wINNEMUCCA

c. Van Volkenburg made a number
OF locations last week and have been
doing considerable prospecting with
satisfactory results. A ledge of white
quartz of good width has been opened
up. The rock when PANIED shows
quite a number of colors, and one
piece which Mr.. Van Volkenburg
broke from the ledge shows free
gold.
These finds have given a renewed
impetus to prospecting on the old
mountain and it is well within rea-
son to believe that Winnemucca will
have a mining boom of its own this
summer.-Humboldt Star.

WONDER TEEMING
WITH RICH ORE

NNHNOi camp 10 INV certainly III
the public eye, and the confidence
in this district is remarkable. The
first notice of the camp was brought
about by the location last April of
the Jack Pot, National, Hercules, and
other claims.
Samples taken from these original
discoveries were assayed at Fallon
and attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, but the locators positively de-
clined to tell where the finds were
located, but Seymour and others were
equally determined to run them
down, and for that purpose wen out
to Horse creek and camped, and
about the latter part of April, when
Darcy and Stroud came in to get
water for their camp they followed
them in and at once made a number
of locations. AT that time what is
known as the original Wonder mine
was staked under the name of
Quartzite, but no work was done.
and a little later Scott. Savage and
Smith went into the camp and locat-
ed a number of clarms and the
Quartzite was covered by this loca-
ton, and in order to avoid litigation
the whole proposition was Incorporate
ed by mutual consent under the
name of the Nevada Wonder.
About the last of May the rush
commenced and at that time Chris
Peterson and John O'Brien staked
twenty-five or thirty claims, among
which was the Claremont and King
properties, which were recently in.
corporated by G. A. Whiteford and
M~cElvaney. under the name of the
Claremont Wonder.
Billy the Kid group was located
about this time. and the monuments
defining the lines OF the claims were
erected with rich ore carrying values
Of from $40O to $500 per ton. A
man named Higginson secured this
property and Incorporated 1t under
the name Of the Ruby Wonder.
About this time the Washborne
Roslyn and Colorado groups wer,
located and ore wonderfully rich wal
found at the grass roots on the latter
claims.
Active development has beer
prosecuted on a number of thes,
properties for the past four or fiv,
months and the initial shipment wa
made from the Vulture propert,
within the past week, and from tn,
amount of ore either blocked out o
sacked it is probable that continuou
shipments will now be made from
this remarkably rich new camp.
The confidence OF the public an,
the rich showing in many %propertie
in Wonder district seems to warran
the statement that a boom is posi-
lively on for Wonder district.

London April 3.-LOrd Rose bery's thunderboit against home rule, was considered by many as an excellent preliminary to going over to the other side, but that does not seem to be the case. His at titude resembles Mr. Balfour5s $. It represents the conservative and skeptical view of the democracy and while it stands for the rights of property in the abstract. de- cIares against any extensioon of property to the classes not now possessing it.

COWBOYS ARE COMING
Portland Papers Praise Western
Drama Recently Presented at
Empire Theater.

The Portland daily papers speak in
praise Of the play, ''The Cowpuncher, "
which recently enjoyed weeks run
at the Empire theater in that city. As
the company is to appear in Dallas
next Wednesday night, the following
description Of the play by the Tele-
gram will be Of interest:
'If there is one kind of play more
than another that the patrons OF the
Empire like it is a drama in which
there is plentiful sprinkling of
revolvers and gun-plays. And when
these shooting-irons are in the hands
of cowboys-well, the people for blocks
around imagine their is a riot some
where, so wildly applausive does the
audience become.
"The Cow-Puncher' opened a
weeks run at the Empire yesterday
afternoon, and it had the audience
roped, tied and branded in a few
minutes. Furthermore, the company
presenting it has large supply of
catchy pictorial paper, the Autographs.
showing cowpunchers lynching a
greaser and other scenes from the
play. With such Autographs as these,
no wonder the Empire was filled to the
bursting point matinee and evening,
and all this week the seekers of
strenuous drama will hike Empire
ward and cheerfully pay to see the
show. They will get their moneys
worth, too, for it's bully good show"
