MONTE CARLO OF MEXICO.

When the buildings are all com
pleted the Juarez Jockey Club will
nave one of the finest race tracks in
the world. The betting ring, grand
stand, paddock, restaurant and race
course even now are far ahead of
anything we have in the east. The
race track is one of the best ever,
but reminds you of others you may
have encountered because of the fact
that the fast horses never win. Up
to the present time the races have
been poorly patroniZed, touts and
others connected with the track do
Ing most of the betting However,
the tourist season has now opened
and the officials expect a larger at
tendance, and, of course, larger do
nations.
Juarez sports a bull ring, largely
patronized by Mexicans. Right here
1t might be apropos to remark that
the average Mexican bull fight fan
has the baseball fan beaten to fraz-
zle when it comes to kicking. How
they do howl and jeer and yell for
a substitute if the bull in the ring
fails to put up a good fight They
never let up, either, until the bull
is chased from the ring and a live
one substituted. Four bulls are
killed in the arena every Sunday, to
the unbounded delight of that por-
ton of the native population which
manages to keep enough of its mon
ey away from the gamblers to pur-
chase a ticket of admission Cock
fighting is another favorite pastime.
Every Sunday finds the pit filled, and
large sums of money change hands
on the outcome.
Legitimate sports do not go beg
ging in this part of the country, as
witness the fact that within three
days FL Paso had Dave Warfield,
Barney Oldfeld and the Philadelphia
and National baseball teams, all of
which were well patronized. At the
present time FL Paso is very pros
porous, and the future looks very
bright-nOt bad place to locate in

A QUEER NEW YORK SWINDLE
Gold Is Systematically Stripped From
Coins BY Acids. How the
Trick Is Done

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Secret service
agents of the government are in
vestigating what is known as the
practice of stripping" by which
small quantities of gold or silver are
removed from coins which are i'm
mersed for that purpose in acid sol
vents. The inquiry was started here
after a number of circulating coins,
including $40 gold pieces, had
proved to be short weight. The loss
seemed to be more than could be ex-
planned by the usual wearing away
caused by friction.
Suspicious are entertained that
such coins have been reduced in
weight by the stripping process in
which they are dipped for an hour
or two in the prepared liquid into
which an electric current is turned.
When the electric power and the
strength of the acids are properly
regulated, accol ding to the weight of
coins treated, the metal is "sweated"
off the surface of the coins so
smoothly that they are not changed
in appearance.
Valuable quantities of the precious
metal have been obtained, it is be-
lieved, by stripping a large number
of coins. The separated metal clings
to receiving plate from which it
is readily collected by the shippers.
who have no difficulty in selling it
for cash, since there is no suspicion
of the method by which it was OBJ
tanned. The coins are passed into
circulation at their face value.
Coins have also been stripped by
using them for short intervals in
electro-Dlating tanks, in which case
the metal is deposited at once on the
object to be plated. The platter in
this way gets his gold free, as the
coins are passed into circulation as
before. 1t is said that a stripper can
take a pennyweight of gold. or more
than a dollar in value. from a 500
gold piece without making any per-
ceptible change. There is no risk of
loss, because if the acid should eat
too much or roughen the surface. as
might happen, then the entire coin
may be melted up and the metal is
equal in value to the coin.
