plain when stock market operators had

the road will enable him to meet when
they mature three years hence.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dol.

for Use rs pin money.
First he learned that the Erie was go
ing to have n hard time getting the
money to meet it's obligations Of e, 800

Then, through interests allied to him.
he made sure that no banking establish

Then he sent agents into the market,
who picked up -. 900. 900 of the notes

New Mining Law

The new Mexican mining law will soon be out. It is generally under stood that mineral prospecting zones and big exclusive concessions will be a good thing but there are other things ust as much needed Tn the present law, such as: not requiring actual sur veys and monumenting of claims; on nine-tenths of the properties there is not thing on the ground to put one on notice, the records of locations in mining agents offices are not public records free for the inspection of any one, and the agents have perquisite in charging for such inspection or can refuse it altogether if they choose; there is no encouragement in the way of lessening taxes or final patent the man who develops his mine must keep on paying to the end of time just the same as he who does not. t.-Chi- huahua Enterprise.

Richest Cold Mine in the World

The Homestake Gold Mining Go. has resumed payment of dividends, after discontinuanoa of them since last spring when a fire in the mine caused a shoutdown of mines and mills, and which resulted in heavy expense to the company. The recently declar- ed dividend is of 50 cents per share. and was paid January 25. With the exception of the dividends passed since last May, the Homestake has paid di- vidends mnnthly since 1878, also pay ing many extras within this time. The mine is said to have SO,O0O 900 tons of ore in sight, that is now easily available, and a much larger amount probably exists that has only been developed by shafts, the drifts and cross cuts necessary to block out the property has 1000 stamps in six mills, and the company is considering the advisa bility of adding 200 more to the equipment. It owns miles ot canals, pipe lines and fumes; has valuable water rights; the largest cyanide plants in the world, and there are now broken in the mine over 100000 tons of ore ready to hoIst and send to the mill. The Homestake Is the greatest thin g in the way of a gold mine that the world has yet produced. .-Searchlight Bulleting

they use nothing except what they
have raised for them under contract

their growers calls for all good Sc

The Irish Party
Accepts Challenge

London, March 31.-John +. Redmond
the Nationalist leader, whose resolution
on Home Rule for Ireland, with some
amendment. was adopted in the House of
Commons yesterday by a vote of 313 to
l57. said to The Associated Press tonight:
For the first time in history the
House of Commons by an overwhelming
majority declared itself in favor of Home
Rule.
This result is the more remarkable
when the terms of the resolution are
considered. IT was not Il resolution in ia
vor of "A halfway house or devolution; it
put the Home Rule claim in it's frank
est and fullest form. for it demanded a
Parliament in Dublin and an executive
responsible to that Parliament. Both the
spokesman of the ministry pledged not
only themselves but the whole Liberal
party to Home Rule.
Secretary Brrell said that the Liber-
al party was the Home Rule party; Mr..
Asquith declared his unalterable convic-
ton that Home Rule was the only settle
ment of the Irish question. Every single
member of the administration, including
not only Mr.. Asquith. Secretary Birrel
and John Marley. but Sir Edward Grey
and Secretary Haldane, voted for the res
oluton. They only preferred the condi-
ton that they were precluded by their
pledges from Introducing such meas
ure in this Parliament on the question as
to the position Home Rule should occupy
in the program of the Liberal party at
the next election.
The ministers declared that this de-
pended not upon them but upon the Irish
people and the Irish party. We accept
this challenge" concluded Mr.. Redmond,
land the business of the Irish party will
be to take such action in Ireland, Great
Britain and the House of Commons as
will keep the question of Home Rule in
the forefront of political issues"
