expenditure seems small compared
with that of the Combination shaft,

The cost of the big shaft of the
Valenciana was Offset Gby an extra
ordinary production, stated at $780,,
100000, most OF it extracted during the
latter half of the eighteenth century.
This figure corresponds with the total
output of the Comstock up to the time
when the lower workings were aban-
doned in 1884.
On August 20, 1904, the kings tax
on the Valenciana, amounting to the
sum of $2,648,866, was paid AS this

In 1910, when in the height of her
prosperity as mining center, Guiana
Iuato was attacked by the republican
forces and life became insecure, so
that mining operations were discour-
aged and all work of Importance was
discontinued. Deep work ceased en-
hrely, no shafts were sunk and the
production of ore was reduced to in
frequent shipments taken from sup
porting pillars and from the sides Of
bid slopes.
Even such decadent mining became
insignificant as the miners were driven
toward the surface by the slowly ris-
ing water. 1t was at this period Of
general lawlessness that the heavy
walls with watch towers were built
around the mines, until every prop
erty of consequence had the look OF
fortress. Similar protection was
given to the reduction works. which
became fortified Enclosures.

The fact that there were no fatalities,

tlreIy due 20 the efficient and unselflsh

Special to The Washington Herald
Norfolk, Va, July 19-The Association
Of State and National Food and Dairy
Departments took an advanced and even
radical stand for pure food to-day The
whisky question was also touched upon
in a way to cause agitation IN the whisky
business.
The question Of State or Federal admin
istration of the food laws, which three
days ago had the State officers lined up
against those Of the national government,
the State officers standing for State con
troll and the Federal officers. supported
by the big manufacturers, for, Federal
control was disposed Of quietly enough,
the whole matter being put away behind
the word uniformity"
The association, by adopting the report
Of its resolution committee, condemned
the guaranty clause" Of the national
purc-foOd act. declaring that il does not
accomplish its purpose. urged uniform
ity in national and State food laws, asked
that the sanitary inspection be extended
70 small packing houses and dealers in
foods, and that more money be given the
Secretary Of Agriculture with which to
put into effect the pure-food act
Touching the whisky question. the ass0-
citation adopted a standard which would
prevent the use OF more than a dozen
drugs as preservatives. This would pre-
vent the blending of whisky or other
spirituous liquors. The whisky blenders
strenuously fought this in several hear

recommendations of the convention will
