DOUGLAS NEWS NOTES
A TRADE EXCURSION.
DOUGLAS TO CANANEA
One Is Being Planned on July
% and 26.

DOUGLAS, July 15.-(Special. -
A meeting of the merchants who
are promulgating the idea of a trade
extension excursion from Cananea
here on July rs and 26 was held at
the chamber of commerce Offices in
fee Gadsden hotel last night but lit
sired end. All are agreed that such
an excursion is desirable but the hitch
arises over the possibility of a deficit
in the receipts of the ball games. II
does not seem likely that three games
between Cananea and Morenci would
leave a deficit, yet there exists the
possibility. If not the probability. Of
such a contingency, for Douglas has
not shown an overwhelming interest
in the national game this year. And
here came the bugaboo last night.
In view of this fact a committee
was appointed to go out among the
merchants and obtain their pledges
to bear any deficit which may arise
and until such an arrangement shall
have been made the matter is in abey-
ance. The secretary of the chamber
of commerce and mines reported that
he had written to the management of
bow teams to ascertain whether the
dates mentioned would suit their con-
Yenience and to get their terms but
stated that as yet sufficient time had
not elapsed TO receive replies from
them.
The TRACE extension committee of
the chamber did not come together as
some Of its members are out of town.
and the feeling among the merchants
IS for taking up the matter with the
board of directors of that body and
asking them to act in connection witD
the merchants committee. rather than
to depend upon the regular sub-com-
mittee of that body. There is no in.

NEW MINING LAW is
STILL IN DiAZ'S HANDS
Not Believed That President
viii PromuIgate Measure.

During the last few days some of
the Mexican mining men got it in to
their heads that the proposed new
mining law, or especially Article l44.
which proposes to prohibit foreign
lcorporations from acquiring mining
properties in Mexico. had become a
law. Such was and is an error. The
matter is entirely in the hands Of
President Diaz. He has the power
given him by the Mexican congress
to Dromulgate It, but It is confidently
believed that he will not depart from
the liberal policy which he inaugural
ed toward foreign capital and which
has built up the great industry to III
prestnt prop Wtions.
