Venaflgo's Convention

FRANKLIN, PA. February 29-(Special CORE
spondence) = The Prohbitionists of Venango
county held their county convention in this city
today The convention was called to order by
County Chairman McCol1um of Oil City and
John E. Gill was chosen chairman Some ninety
delegates present and practically every sec
ton of the county was represented
The platform adopted was of the straightest,
middle the-road character, pointing out that
all halfway measures and all attempts to deal
with the liquor traffic by means of local option,
have utterly failed and that the traffic constantly
grows greater and more dangerous to the well
fare of the country, and insisting that the only
means of coping with the traffic is presented by
the Prohibition party, to which the control of
state and national affairs should be committed.

NEW KIND OF A SQUIRREL

Ever hear barber talking about
box" or a squirrel" Maybe YOU
have but paid no attention to what
was being said or didn't understand
If you did pay attention. Teddy
Lloyd was not in the best of humor
recently and when his compadre, Jack
Neary, asked him what was the trou-
bic, Teddy said something about Just
having had a squirrel.
And what's a squirrel-or, what
do you mean by a 'squirrelT" asked
Neary.
"A squirrel is a box" answered
Teddy with profundity, 'and a box is
a squirrel When ! was barber:ng
over at Globe l worked with a fellow
who was always Raging me about
catching squirrels. One morning the
first catch ne made was a squirrel.
Immediately afterward caught a live
one. Well, maybe / didn't get even
with the other barber on the squirrel
proposition Now and then would
stop work and make some sly remark
about squirrels. I never did Ike red
SQUIRRELS I remarked. and, it's a fine
day for squirrel huntin', Dinnie, aif't
it?" 80
But that isn't telling me what a
squirrel is" interrupted Neary.
"Oh, well, since you insist, you're a
squirrel" answered Teddy. ANY man
what has big. coarse, heavy beard
is a squirrel, which means that he's
box. Now / guess you'll be after

said Mr. Sully, who certainly was en-
thusiastic.
you people do not know what a

of Tucson. We have not and do not
now seek publicity, a fact fully i'm
pressed upon you by our general man

continued the New Yorker.
"The manager has equipped the

rMr. Sully, who said this was not his
first visit TO Arizona having had &C.
casion some years ago to visit Phoenix.
Daniel SRlly is a man of middle
age and gives the impression that
he is a person Of activity, keen and
alert to every occasion that demands
sagacity and experience to carry out
projects of magnitude. His ups and
downs on the cotton Elzs:;-s- proves
that reyerses do not shake his nerves
10 any remarkable degree. He is
rather averse to talking but his recent
experience at the Colorado was
sufficient to give expression to his
views, in mild way.

ON MEXICAN
INDUSTRIES
A. v. Temple Recently Has IS
sued a Little Booklet Con-
tanning Many Attractive
Mining Figures.

A. " Temple, industrial agent of the
Mexican Central railway has just is
sued a book devoted to mines and
mining in Mexico The booklet is GER
tain to prove very attractive to all
persons interested in the mining I'm
dustry of this republic, as 1t contains
very valuable and interesting data.
The following is taken from Mr.. Tenn
pies work:
in the period before the wars of
independence, taxes were paid to the
King of Spain on the production of
2,151 ,5S1,075 PESOS, and probably,
one-tnird as much more was taken
out Of the country without passing
through any of the government Of
fees. From the acknowledgment of
independence of the country under
Iturbide i'm 1922 to 1905 the coinage
amounted to 1,57S, 146,075 pesos.
THE production of gold and silver
in the twenty-nine years, from 1878 to
1906, was 1,746.561 FOG pesos, and the
most remarkable feature of this is
that from 26.S1O,S15 pesos in 1878 it
increased to 112,014,973 pesos in 1906,
an increase of 500 per cent in tweney-
niney years, or little over seven
teen per cent annually. While no ac-
curate figures exist, an estimate based
ON taxes collected from this industry
and the probable amount OF the es-
capped taxation (for the contraband
trade in gold and silver was a well
organized and Lucrative branch of
she commerce Or tnrbe centuries)
gives 5,S00000,00O pesos as the prob
able production of gold and silver
mines of Mexico from the days of the
Spanish conquest up to 1907. The
production of the baser metals has
Increased on like ratio. In 1907
the expectation was: Anthony, 4,277,-
412 pesos; copper, 2S.O1S.693 pesos;
lead, 3,644,73S pesos; zinc 2,010,40O
pesos, besides what was used at home.
Forty-eight per cent of the freight
carried by the Mexican Rentral rail-
way is mine products or mine sup
plies.
ITO those going into business it is
big the dividends are rather than
how big the business is. The in
crement earned, or unearned, is what
we are after.
%The legendary millionaires of the
colonial epoch are a part of the 70
nance of history. Antonio Obregon,
who accumulated 226,000,000 pesos
from the mines or Guanajuato; FL
Condo de Raves, who tagged along
with his 50,000,000 from other mines
of the same district; Zambrano, who
paid taxes on a production of $4,000
600 from the mines of San Dimas; FL
Condo de Regiab who founded the
National Pawnshop and built a line
of battleships for the King of Spain,
spent, or left to his family to spend,
40, 00e,00 more, taken from the mines
of Pachuca; Jose de la Borda, that
festive Frenchman from the mines of
Taxco,, Itlalpuyahua and Zacatas ex-
tracted nearly 100000 and built
the Borda Gardens at Cuernavaca for
his detection during life and that of
posterity after MIN. These are but
d few examples of what Mexico's
mines did for their owners even In
she days of man ana mule power,
iron drills, paper fuse, rawhide buck
cts and the various other crude and
primitive apparatus now happily to be
found only in museums and aneients
