California Trade in Mexico

The following abstract in regard to
the extension of the sales of Cali
fornia wares is from a newspaper of
Mexico City:
California manufacturers are coming
after their share of the Mexican trade
and in order that they may enter the
market on the best possible basis a
new schedule of freight rates has been
established by the Southern Pacific and
the Santa Fe. The new rate is on
mixed carloads from California points
to the City of Mexico, dealing particu-
larly with hardwood fixtures. piping
materials, etc.
Heretofore hardwood materials were
not permitted to be shipped in mixed
carloads with tank and pipe material
and the change enables manufacturers
to get far better rate to this CITY and
other points in the republic
Traffic from California to Mexico
has been increasing gradually. and the
California lines are now giving this
business particular attention.
The increase of trade between Cali
fornia and Mexican points has led TO
a revision of traffic arrangements be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe roads. Heretofore all inter
change of traffic was restricted to Cali
fornia functions, but under the new
arrangements the Southern Pacific
agrees to open the Deming gateway on
the same basis as it has in force with
the Rock Island at Ell Paso"

Minerals in Manchuria

The latent resources of southeastern
Manchuria are minerals, which are be-
lieved to be valuable and may In time
become the most important output Of
this region. Gold, either quartz or
placer, has been found here and there
throughout the whole territory: silver
is present principally in the yicinitv
of Fenghuangcheng, Tsaohokou and
Saimachi, and valuable copper de-
posits have been discovered near
Tunghuahsien and Maoerhshan. Large
beds of anthracite coal in the region
of Penhsihu and others of a quality
not yet determined at various other
points contain the necessary supply of
fuel for the operation of smelters
which may in the near future he es-
tablished in connection with gold. sill
YER and copper mines. Although a
part of the capital for the develop-
ment of the mineral resources viii
doubtless come from the inhabitants
the amount thus available would be in
sufficient for conducting the enterprise
on a scale commensurate with the ex
tent of the resources
Such direct benefits as will be con-
tributed by the development of the
mineral and timber resources under the
conditions described, together with
those which will come from the prob
able increase in silk and bean produce
tions assure a good future for the trade
OF southeastern Manchuria.-From Con-

Nicaragua Rubber Trust

Joint stock corporation has been
formed which will control the output
of all wild rubber in the government
forests of Nicaragua.
The enterprise is a consolidation of
two concessions granted by the govern
ment as owning the rubber on the do
main of the republic which was for
merly considered the property of the
individual or rubber cutter discovering
and locating the trees. The new corpo-
ration will be known as the Atlantic
industrial company, with headquarters
at Managua. and will have a capital of
$SO0,00O gold, divided into 5000 shares
of 500 EACH
One of the leases transferred to the
company was purchased from a party
who received the original concession
from the government, agreeing to pay
therefor an annual rental of $40 for
a period of 10 years. The concession
aires were privileged to license all rub
Der cutters, and in addition to levy an
export tax on all shipments not to ex-
ceed 10 cents per pound, which has been
collected at the port of Bluefelds ever
since the lease became operative
All of the rubber produced in the
territory embraced in this lease is ex-
ported through this consular district,
with the exception of small quantity
shipped by way of Cape Gracias a
Dios. In 1905 invoices were issued COW
ering the export of 449,609 pounds: in
1906 for 40S,329 pounds. and for 1907
the amount probably was not more
than $4,000, owing to the damage
caused by the hurricane in the fall
OF 1905. A fair estimate of the produc-
tion in this concession is 100000 pounds
year, so that the export tax would
yield the lessees $4,000 gold annually
Besides, the licensing of cutters and the
furnishing of provisions and outfits
would amount to as much more. Con-
sequently this concession will produce
a gross income of 100000, and in re-
turn for these valuable privileges the
government receives from the company
$40 year. Another concession will
probably not yield as much. yet the
surrounding conditions indicate an
abundant supply. and the income will
probably reach $4,000 annually-From
