The Difference.

When you meet a pretty girl
Life seems. oh, SO sunny.
And you take her all around,
Throwing out your money
When she coolly turns you down
Life seems. oh. SO shady,
For you never thought she was
That kind of a lady.
With a smile that melts the heart
And manner winning,
She appears upon the scene.
That is the beginning.
AS you follow her around
All your cares diminish,
But they grow again when she =
Hands you down your finish.
Love at first sight. you are sure,
Fits the symptoms thrilling,
Quite describes your cup of joy,
That is more than spilling,
But you feel as though you'd lost
Home and friends and mother
When she says that You can be
Just her big stepbrother.
Love is all right when 1t takes
And when both are willing,
But when she says Nit" 1t more
Painful is than killing.
When things smoothly run along
It's like milk and honey,
But an interruption is
Worse than losing money.

A horrible nervous tremor swept over

MexicO's New Mining Law Explained.

The recent report relative to the mew mining law in Mexico has been the subject of much disquiet- ude among mining men operating in that country. As reports were contradictory, with a view of get ting at the facts in the case, Mex ican Consul Elias of Tucson was interviewed few days ago.
 In talking the law over, Elias stated that 1t was a common habit for foreign corporations to organize in any of the states or in Europe to the detrimeih and annoyance of the Mexican government, in that some of these said corporations had neither money nor mines, but were organized solely for the purpose of flooding the country with a lot of worthless securities, to the discredit of the country. Under the pro- posed new law such wildcating will be impossible.
 Companies organized for the ex ploitation of Mexican mines will under the new law be compelled to register the articles of incorpora- tion in the City of Mexico. Under the old law this was not required and no check could consequently be placed on fraudulent and de- frauding companies.
 Some time ago the government appointed a commission to examine into the then existing law and with authority to recommend any advisable changes, the result being the new law.
 Article II of the new law says:
 Foreign incorporated companies cannot in the future denounce or acquire mines or mining property within the territory of the republic of Mexico.
 This article, the consul says, will bear the following interpretation: When foreign companies are not registered according to the laws of Mexico. or do not comply with sai2 laws t...ey cannot acquire property as above stated.
 It frequently happens, he said, that foreign companies, organized in foreign countries, with the object of exploiting mines in Mexico, un- der foreign laws and independent of the laws of Mexico, so far as the incorporation was concerned, but this will be impossible under the new law. This measure entails nc hardships on the foreigner, and the individual is as free to denOunce hold and work his mine as he Was under the old law. The new law Is to correct abuses which have grown into enormous proportions within the past few years, but or complia nee with the law 1t doe: not debar anyone from the pri vilege be has heretofore enjoyed
