President Eliot Resigns.

President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard university declines for the present 10 make any explanation of his resigua tiou, which was presented to the board of overseers of Harvard college at special meeting in Boston November 4th. In university circles it is commonly understood that as he will be 75 years old next March and has been at the head of Harvard for 40 years, he desires to be free from the cares of office the remainder of his life.
 The name of A. Lawrence Lowell, Boston lawyer and trustee of the Lowell Institute, is most prominently mentioned in connection with the va cancy which will be left when Presi- dent Eliot retires next May.
 For a year or more rumors have been heard that President Roosevelt would be Harvard's next president, but inquiry among the alumni of the institution does not indicate that his name has been considered seriously.

A. Elias Promoted to Consul at Phoenix.

Augustin EscuderO arrived in IT son and on the 10th of the month will assumed the office of Mexi- can consul in this city, succeeding Arturo NJ Elias, who has been trans ferred to Phoenix, being promoted to that post on account of the transfer of Enrique Llorente from Phoenix to Genoa, Italy.
 Mir. Elias has occupied the consul ate in this city for the past five years and has been d resident of Ariz Ina for the past 30 years, having come here from Guaymas, Sonora. his native city, when but six years old. He has been very popular in Tucson and has many friends, who will regret to hear of his transfer but will be happy to learn of his promotion. When seen last week Mir. EliIs said that he has always liked Tucson and its people and has been particularly pleased with the many kindnesses eX- tended him by the various authorities while occupying his official position, and it is with deep regret that he bids adieu to the Old Pueblo.
 Mir. EscuderO, who has held several government positions in Mexico, is d son of Ignacio NJ. Escudero, at one time minister of war in Mexico. The new consul is well acquainted with Americans and their ways, having been educated at the Christian Broth CTS college il St. Louis, Mo, which school is a favorite with Mexicans who have studied in the United States. He is d young man of ability and will no doubt be welcomed by both the Americans and Mexicans of Tucson with open arms. He will have the care of 1000 Mex can citizens on his hands and is at present engaged in going over the work with MT. Elias in order that everything may be prop erly arranged for his assuming charge on the 18th instant.

Does Mining Pay?

The National B ICker in q recent issue makes the unequivOcal state ment that the combined dividends paid by the gold and silver mining companies of the United States are greater than the combined dividends paid by all the banking institutions in this country. Also that the com bined dividends paid by the copper mining companies of the United States are greater than the combined dividends paid by all the railroads of the United States, and 52 per cent. of all the freight handled by these railroads is either ore or som4 com modity connected with or used in the mining industry.
 For this somewhat astounding and not generally known fact, the Brad street and Dun commercial agencies supply the addenda that but 36 per cent. of all legitimate mining invest mcnts fail, against 54 per cent. in general commercial lines.
 Gold is reported to have been dis covered in payable quantities in the Libede district. Cape Colony.

By the last nationa census the state of Nevada was credited with a population of only 42 900, whereas 3O,OOO registered voters were listed by the registration of this year. The new mining dis tricts in Nevada have attracted thousands of people during recent years and the little "rotten borough" is fast becoming a respectable and substantial state.
