ACROSS THE BORDER.


 Rourne and w. H. Denton, both of Ocampo, this state, have just closed deal for the sale of their mining properties and lands at Los Otates, B days ride southeast of that place. The purchasers are sym dicate of Denver and Kansas City capitalists. The deal is a straight sale and the amount involved is over $90,000 Mexican money.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The En- cinillas Smelling Works of Sta. Ro- salia, which is starting the .smelter at Sta. Rosalia, this state, and en- larging that plant, is entering the great Sta. Eulalia district and has secured working bonds on about 1000 pertenencias, or 2,500 acres, of mineral ground. The deal was made by H. Thofern on the part of the company, who left this week for New York, where he will meet members of his corporation.
 Mexican Herald: Bernardino Gomez del Campo, resident of Aldama, on the Orient railroad <. east of Chihuahua, has been very successful in raising cotton, with which he has been experimenting some four years. The first cost has been very heavy, owing to the preliminary preparations in the way of irrigation. Future crops, he hopes, will repay him for this ex- penditure. It is said that his cot ton crop is similar to that of the famous Laguna district.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: All over Mexico reduction in the high prices of mine labor which have been prevailing for the past two years, is now going on. The causes are low prices of silver, lead, cop per and zinc, and increasing supply of labor due to the shutdown of some properties, notably Cananea and the return of an unusually vast number of Mexicans from the States, both for the winter, and owing to the curtallment of indus tries there on account of the fi- nancial stringency.
 Mexican Herald: The Kansas City, Mexico x Orient railway has received a number of new box cars from the car shops, and they are now being sent through to Mexico loaded, via El Paso. These cars are of 60,000tbs. capacity, and measure thirty-six feet on the in side. They are painted a dark red, and have the Orient trade mark, the flags of the United States and Mexico, tied together with a loop of railroad track. On the side of the cars the word "Orient" has been painted in letters that cover the entlre side.
 Mexican Herald: Another at tractive feature will be added tC the winter travel to California ovel the Southern Pacific line next year, if the plans of the traffic of ricials materialize. As soon as the cutoff between Yuma and Impe rial Junction, California, is com pleted they are planning to run al of the passenger trains over thi: line, instead of over the present main line This will eliminate the long haul west out of Yuma, anc will also give through train serv 4l Il. l

have an opportunity of seeing the Imperial valley. This will also serve to break the long desert ride that is encountered in California, and instead the trip will be made along the Sallon sea.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Lewis Kingman, chief engineer of the Mexican Central, is quoted as say ing that there are 5000 men at work on the Colima branch of that system. Labor is plentiful. Day light can now be seen through the 320 meter tunnel at Jala Point. Work on the two bridges, one at Carpintero and the other at the second crossing of the Tuxpan, Is going on. Some time next year, probably by October, the Centrals extension to Colima and the Pa cifc harbor of Manzanillo should be completed
 Mexican Herald: The munich pal authorities of Guanajuato have in view the undertaking of another great project of public improve ment as soon as the Por6rio Dias tunnel is completed. It is nothing less than the covering over of the river, or common sewer, that runs through the city, and is thought to be the cause of so much sickness prevalent in the community. The river Is an eyesore, if not an orig inal source of illness as claimed, and the proposed improvement is a popular one, even if it is one of magnitude. The estimate of the cost of this great project is as yet only an approximate one, but it will approach the million dollar mark.
 Mexican Herald: A $25,0 ,000 deal in Torreon real estate has just been consummated. T. NJ. Fairbairn and Leo Fleishman sold through F. R. Wulff & Co.,, to the Torreon Real Estate & Commission com pany, block No. G7 of the second division of Torreon. The deal was one of the best made in the past few weeks, and is the second large real estate transaction to occur since the first of the month. Four years ago block No. 67 was bought for S1 800, and yesterday it sold for $25,000. The property wa: bought by Messrs. Fleishman and Fairbairn at a time when Torreor was young, and they have realized a very handsome profit on their investment.

The market was strong in the early

the report appeared and was fully up

caused the market to slide OF quite

OF course, the Erie matter continues to
absorb attention. Notes are being pre-
sented at Morgan's office. In some In
stances they are exchanged for the new
