Mexican lndependence--Its Meaning

fortune to join. as do all the nations of the earth. in honoring the heroes of Mexico. Her independence has lessened our own political difficulties. The importance to us as a matter of international security, that there should be a Mexico for the Mexicans, was seen when Secretary Seward sent a curt message by rough sol dier to the gentleman from Austria. But let us not flatter ourselves, in joining heart and hand in these Mex ican centennial festivities, that we are celebrating an echo or our own Glorious Fourth of-l776. The separa- tion of Spanish America from the Mother Country received less stim- ulus than is commonly believed from our defiance of George III. Henry Clay's speech on the Panama Con gress would have been so misunder- stood as to excite a smile among the dons of Mexico and Lima and Buenos Aires. The Latin American uprising was part of a quite inde- pendent course of political evolution. Fundamentally the line of cleavage between Anglo-Saxon and Latin re- constructionists follows the diver gent attitudes of the two peoples to- ward authority. The Spanish Ameri- can considers the supreme govern ment' as supreme; the constitution la hi ard Q Anglo-Saxon touches his constitution with reverent hands, but makes short the executive (with due apologies to Mir. Roosevelt). The Colonial Con gross passed the Declaration of In dependence and fought it out, despite changing fortunes of war, to the end; the Mexicans were true to their tra- ditions in the Plan de Iguala, which recognizes the sovereignty of Fer nando VII if resident in Mexico. It was a case of hair-splitting to ease the political conscience, no doubt but it was effective, and in principle as far as the antipodes from the doc ument signed by the patriots of sey- eDIN-SlN. Ut COiohioho hNA been fed on the doctrines of Pym and others of like ways of thinking, while Latin America had listened to the philosophy of the Abbe Raynal. and to the subsequent Rights of Man In their own way they won the lib critics of their choice; they have suffered from dictator to dictator. as distinguished from our trials with the bosses who hold in their hands the will of the triumphant majority. In the end they have found stabl political life under the unvanquished Porfirio. He has gathered about him able men who stand sponsors for that stability, Enrique Creel.

CANhaEA AND ITS GREAT MINES
 RESULT OF DOGGEO PERSISTENCE

MT. Norton's management a good deal of work was done in various places, until finally on the Norton denounce- fent (named for a mining engineer years previously a big body of lead and zinc ore, running pretty well up in silver was opened up. In this shaft on the 800 level is vein Of ore which it is es- timated amounts to 175,000 tons, worth into seven figures. During the last two years immense bodies of lead silver ore running up pretty well in zinc and carrying some copper was opened up at the La Chivera shalt, a small concentrator was bought and shipped in from Joplin Mo. and an other big paying property was added to the Cananea field, for while the net earnings averaging around S1 900 to g 900 a day. In this mine are huge bodies of ore in all the drifts and stapes, one piece blocked out being sOx60x120 feet running higa in silver, lead and zinc. At the 400 level developfent work is under way and big things are looked for. The ore is concentrated down or up to abount S2 per cent lead, carrying %
 to 40 ounces of silver This silver
 content in the big lead bodies is cal. culated to make a Joplin mine look poor in comparison. For several
 years while MT. Norton was prose, cutting his work. his efforts were look. ed upon by some as wasted. He did.
 n't work his men on Sunday and he was looked upon by some as a crank, many thought he was, and throwing good money away. As one put it, "the mine would never have been heard of if he had been a mining engineer or even a miner, but his
 dogged persistence kept the work
 going and contrary to eyeryone's
 expectations one of the best paying
 mines in the district was opened up the first of probably a number of
 rich producers in a field that will
 add greatly to the paying Cananea

It is practically local concern. among the principal owners being H. s. Smith who is the president of the company and P. r. Crowell, who is the secretary-treas- urer. The propert consists of about 250 acres and two shafts are being put down. The Reeves shaft is down "A feet. About ten feet down from the top a vein from one inch to eighteen inches wide of steel galena ore carrying as high as 325 ounces of silver and 90 to 60 per cent in
 lead was encountered. This came along a hanging wall of lime DOT
 phyry At the bottom of the shaft the vein has widened to four or five feet running high in lead and silver Another shaf1 is down about forty feet with quite sprinkling of ga
 lena ore, some samples of which at
 depth of eight feet running 40
 ounces of silver and 90 per cent lead.
 For the last ten feet the work has been in tale and copper is looked for
 when through this. The owners are very jubilant over the excellent show ing in the Reeves shaft, and a great deal of interest is centered around
 this property and that of the Shat
 tuck-Pattison ground which also ] touches on the Norton property on the west
 The Shattuck Pattison ground con sists of a group of claims recently
 acquired. A shaft has been sunk
 on the La Fortuna claim and is down

 feet but at eight-five feet ore has
 been taken out running 15 per cent [ copper.

 Mexico delivered herself from the humiliation of bondage to spectators in silver, by stabalizing exchange, and leaving the manipulators in Par is. Bombay, and Shanghai, to buy her white metal as an article o. sim

The monetary glamor was extinguished. and though many mine owners lamented the days when they could pay their labor in the depreciated product of their ha- ciendas under a system of free coin age the result has been to stimulate the development of other ores and to greatly diversity the mineral out put of the Republic From the days of thrilling romance when bandits waylaid conductas in the Sierras Mexico has come to a condition of peace and safety. facilitating inter course and mutual trust. without which the conveniences of a broad banking system could not have been realized.

but development work is still going on in this property. the owners of which follow the system of mining when copper is high and developing when it is low.
 The big Cananea Consolidated smelter is running only four furnaces at present, getting a large part of their ore from the Cananea-Duluth mine and the Kirk Tunnels. the lat ter being near the Democrata mine. The Cananea-Duluth was one of the properties that was picked up com paratively cheap by the company. but at this da of low price copper is fur than an of the many 4-C.'s valuable workings AThe fact that 1t is some what toward the north and away from the mountains. being more iii the same belt with the Calumet & Sonora, would seem to bear out the idea expressed by quite a number of Cananea mining men that the min eral belt north of the older mines at Cananea will prove to be some of the best part of the district, just as the country to the south and east of the older properties in Bisbee after lying undeveloped for years has since proven to be some of the best dividend paying ground in the Warren district. {
 Business conditions in Cananea are good and the houses are all filled. not vacant house in the Mesa part of the town can be had. and with a revival in copper prices business men are looking forward to better times than ever.

BREADTH OF MODERN
 MINING EXTENDING
DEMANDS SERVICES OF GREAT
 VARIETY OF PROFESSIONS FOR
 BEST RESULTS
Mining Review.)

Modern mining, in a greater de- gree, perhaps, than any other in dustry, demands the services direct. ly or indirectly, of the followers of a great variet Of professions than any great variety of professions than any would naturally consider the mining engineer the aIl-important person in the conduct of mining operations. His place is important, and more important BOW than ever before, but the variety of interests now involved in the conduct of "a great mining bus mess is so great that the services of the doctor. lawyer, chemist, geoiogist, mechanical and civil engineer, and others, are also required.
 The doctor looks after the health of the employees and attends to the maintenance of good health of work men and of sanitary conditions Of good business. A well man can do more and better work than one who is enervoted by sickness or con tinued work under unhealthy condl tions. With this fact now appreci- ated the health department of large mining company becomes an import ant asset, benefitting both the com pany and its employees.
 The duties of the Iawer in the con duct of modern mining are Of utmost importance in protecting the com pany against faulty titles to mineral lands and to represent the company in litigation and other matters. Large mining companies now maintain well organized and efficient legal depart ments as indispensable adjuncts for the proper conduct of business.
 Attention is being given more and more to the maintenance of whole some social conditions, by providing comfortable homes for the men at reasonable rent, supplying means Of education for employees and their chil- dren, as well as entertainment, all of which tends to make the men and their families contented. Contented employees make an efficient organi- zation, and efforts that tend to pro mote such a condition may be the lowest premiums on insurance against la bor troubles
 In the actual conduct of mining operations-the examination and preparation of the ground. mining and transporting of the Gre, etc. man factors must now be taken into consideration. The opinion of the geologist must be had before pur- chasing, leasing and opening new ground. The size. grade and position of the ore bodies must perhaps be determined by deep drilling It may be necessary to change the course of rivers, drain lakes and move towns and cemeteries, so that the ore may be economically mined. Shafts
 must be sunk. drifts run, or the GOV, CT stripped from the ore. To sue
 cessfully conduct this work taxes the resources of modern engineering.
 The enormous demands for large tonnage of ores has resulted in the deyelopment of mechanical appli- ances and methods of mining by which these large tonnages can he mined and handled rapidly and cheapiy.

 Viva la Indenpendencia, Viva Mexico," Thus exclaimed Miguel Hi- dalgo Costilla on the night of Sep tember Is, lSlo and the echo of that famous grito has sounded across the century which has intervened. Again on the night of September 15. 1910, it will be repeated with re- doubled force by nation which wit messed the fruition of independence and has felt the material blessings that it brings. On September 16 the Mexican people will hold up for the adulation of the world list of noble heroes, Hidalgo Morelos, Matamoras, Rayon (patriot, metallurgist, and journalist), Mier y Teran, Guerrero, Felix Fernandez. in whom the celes- tial patron of the Revolution is hon ored in the name of Guadalupe Vic toria, which he assumed as conquer ing soldier and as first President of the republic. We need not pry GU riously into the occult to explain the part which a reverent faith in the power of Nuestra Sonora de Guada- iupe played in achieving the free dom of Mexico. The Virgin of Te- peyac stood for the fiat of heaven upon the new order of liberty and spiritual equality. supersedin9 the old regime of mental and bodily bondage. She was the protectress of the down, trodden Indian confessed as their loving mother in a hundred miracles; 1; and when Hidalgo flung the banner of Guadalupe to the breeze he also flung in that same act the religious fervor of a whole race, with its dogged will and fatalistic contempt Of death, against the waning strength Of Spain.
 crowning glory of her first century of autonomy in honoring Porfirio Diaz It is a matter of simple coin cidence that his birthday falls on the day of the grito, not a subtle polit- teal convenience as was the shifting birth-date of the great Napoleon, but it is a happy juncture. It throws into more prominent relief the merit Of the man who made a unified na- ron out of warning factions. What he has done the world knows; how 1t might have been done differently is useless speculation; how it might have been done better is material for closest philosophers to demon strate for the entertainment of the idle: several gentlemen. possessed of more daring than statesmanship. had the same opportunity as Diaz and they failed The time, the place. and the man, for the peace and prosperity when the great pacifier first as- sumed the reins of authority in 1880.
