Mexico City and Her Efforts to Clean
 Up"

Mt xico City is cleaning up in thor ough manner. The crusade of cleanli- ness has even spread to the Mexican cocheros and when the Mexican gov ernment can make a cochero keep his vehicle clean and himself in present able shape at the same time, it has accomplished wonders. According to the Mex can Herald, under orders from the federal district government all cab drivers are expected to appear in public with clean shirts, clean clothes and hats, to say nothing of clean faces and hands, which were in- cred bly neglected in past years. Those who appear on the streets with shabby garments or dirty collars will be thrown out of commission and they wi be compelled to appear in public in the same manner required by or dinance.
 This is a proper step for many of the cabs and coaches on the streets of Il e capital have been dangerously filthy ID the past and diseases of all kinds no doubt lurked in the dirty cushion $ and rugs.
 In tine general cleanup plan, Mexico City has also ordered that eXpectora- ton on the sidewalks and in street cars shall stop and the governor says smoking in street cars will be the next thing stopped.-El Paso Herald.

Superintendent k. A. Collin of the Arizona Commercial Copper company, reports that the crosscut on the 55C- foot level at the old Black Hawk work ings, has reached the hanging wall and has intersected an ore body thiT- ty-siX feet wide, which is by far the greatest width of commercial ore yet revealed on the Black Hawk vein. The cutting of the station at the TOO foot level in the Eureka shaft is progress ing and will have been completed by the time the new station pump ship ped from the east, arrives. President N. 1. Amster in an inJerview with a representative of the Boston News Eu- reau, says: "We have let contracts for the greater part of our shelter machinery and also contracts fer large double drum hoist and for ad- ditional power supply. The shelter should be running in August ard should treat at the start about 300 tons or ,r1 per day It will be so built that fn. iesS than lO,OOOS we can double its capacity"

Since the conquest of the country by the Spaniards, Mexico has been a great producer of silver, and, more than any other nation, up to the mid dle of the past century had influenced the relations of this metal to the af- fairs of the world. Besides the great shipments of the refined metal which were made to private owners and as contributions to the crown of Spain, the hints of Mexico coined for domes- tic use and for shipment to the Far East up to the end of the past century more than 5000, 900, 900 ozs. of silver Denver Mining Science.

A gentleman who has been promi- nently identified with the Cobalt dis trict says, ''the price of silver has de- clined about D cents per ounce since the Cobalt distl jet made it's first ship ment four or five years ago. On last years production this means a shrink age of between 4,OOO,OOO and 5.OJO,- OOnS in the net profits. Had silver re- mained around 70 to D cents Cobalt's production last year would have been much larger than it was. If the price of silver were to go back to 75 cents Cobalt would quickly double its output, and I believe tbat Nipissing stock would again sell in the market as Ligh as it ever did. The Nipissing property is in better shape to make large ship ments, and earn big dividends on a given price of silver than at any pre- vious time in its history"

Minister Stops Location oI Claims.

It appears that there is hitch in the matter of the lapsing of the w. C.. Greene concession of exclusive mineral rights over nearly 3,0J0.000 acres oi land in the state of Chihuahua on the l2th inst, the day on which it should have pired by limitation. The Min ister of Fomento has refused to a low any locations Ot mining claims on it until further notice.
 The mining districts in which his concession Is located are those of Guerrero and Rayson in this state and Sahuaripa in Sonora. The news was received from C. Guerrero on the l2th i Is., some fifty or sixty men were at the mining agents office offering de- nouncements of mining claims located on the land covered by the concession. The mining agent had received notice from the Minister of Fomento on the 9th inst. to permit no locations on the concession lands until further notice.
 The people offering location notices were, of course, greatly disappointed, and they joined in telegram to the Minister of FomentO regarding the matter. That official at once wired back that he would advise when the locations could be made. The same people then joined in a telegram to President Diaz.-COpper Era.

Largest Shelters in World in Arizona

A Douglas dispatch says: According to the best Obtainable figure at this time, Douglas and Cochise county had, during the year 1908, the second and third largest producing shelter in the United States, and there is every req son to believe that the Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona smelters will at least hold these respective positions in the future, because of the many i'm 'ovements and additions which have been made by both companies and which are now contemplated.
 The approximate output of the Cop per Queens Douglas reduction works for the last year was 100, ,OOO, ,OGO pounds of blister copper of which over 75,OOO,- 900 pounds came from ores from the company's Bisbee mines. While the figures in detail of the production at the Calumet & Arizona shelter have not been complied the total output for the year 1908 was more than 5000, ,0OO pounds, the record annual output for that shelter.

Taft on Water Wagon.

When William H. Taft rides into the White House on March 4th next it will be on the ''water wagon" Moreover he will try to make this the popular vehicle during the four years of his administration. though there are certain society folk here in the na- tion's capital who doubt his ability. In banishing the handwOrk of Baccus from the presidential residence, Mir. Taft will not desire the impression to go forth that he k seeking fame as the country's foremost ''white ribboner." nor, on the other hand, will be aim a blow at the devotees of the cheering cup. With Mr. Taft sobriety is a cor viction. not fad. IL is his firm belief that if the executive workshop is to deserve and hold its present reputation of being one of the busiest in the gov ernmenj fold its atmosphere and the minds of it's workers n. ust not be cloud ed with the distracting fancies of King Alcohol
 Mir. Taft's belief in the virtue of an unclouded mind in the presidential body is born of seeing the effect on others of too many trips to the flowing bowl. In the Philippine Islands, where he went a. governor and later as sec retary of war, he found that the spirit of conviviality reigned among the army officers, sometimes to their dis advantage. That he surrounded him. self with administrative helpers who were known as consistent passengers of the water wagon, therefore, was evidence that he doubt, the dietary value of alcoholic beverages for men laboring under the burning rays of the tropical sun.-Journal-M Miner.
