MOUNTAIN MACHINERY.
Built So That It May Be Trans.
ported by Burros.

From the Mexican Herald
The transportation facilities in many
parts Of Mexico are still very costly and
the methods in many places are very
crude. In some parts the transportation
of merchandise and machinery is carried
on by the use OF OK carts. although in
western Mexico. where the mining In
dustry -is extensive. the Mexican burro IL
a most important factor and is preferred
because of it's being a swifter carrier and
safer in the dangerous mountain passes.
Thus the trafiic between the railroad
stations and the interior points is largely
handled by burrro transportation. These
little animals are worth from $3.50 to
$50 each, United States currency. They
average about 500 pounds In weight and
viii carry weights up to 900 pounds. trav-
cling from twenty to forty miles day.
according to the condition Of the country.
The class Of machinery used in these
mining countries is often specially built
to suit the mode Of transportation, and in
order to transport by single burros must
be designed and built to allow for dis
mantling. 30 as to form q load of mod
crate weight for these animals to carry.
Certain types Of American mine pumps,
for instance. have been developed to mse
the requirements Of crude transportation
over the mountain passes and terraced
ranges of our own country and old Next

into other mining regions OF Central and
South America.

Coliseum today, President Taft devoted
himself to q technical discussion OF the
subject OF conservation. He declared
that the term covered a wide range OF
subjects.
But as concerns Congress at this

itself into the necessity of passing at

to come to st. Louis because he thought
he was always welcome.
He referred to the fact that the Com

Endorsed the canal project. He said he
hoped the club would find an opportunity

"It is Of inestimable benefit to have men

dial are met by the high confidence the
people have in the army engineers and
their wares are no longer marketable"
He went from the St. Louis Club direct

crowd that almost completely filled the
enormous structure gave him an en-

The possibility Of a veto of the railroad
bill, as it will come from Congress I'm

Dr. Buckley said to reporter for The

EARLY is not a leper and never was a

health by the Society of Medical Juris-
prudence of New York at the final meet
ing of the society to consider Earlys
case which took place February IA last
He has been given the right TO go
where he pleases and has been declared
a well man. If he has hidden his
identity under an assumed name 1t Is
because of the great publicity which
has been given to his case.
The decision of the society was over
whelmingly in favor of Early-in fact.
might be called unanimous
the special committee appointed to con-
slider the case and report on 1t to the
society for final action had presented
a report declaring Early a leper. The
effect of this report, however, was en-
tirely counteracted by the evidence
which I was able to submit at the
meeting of the society.
Steps to Prove Early Not Leper.
DIR. Buckley gave an interesting account
of the various steps which had been
taken to lift the suspicion of leprosy
from Early. The case was taken to the
Society of Medical Jurisprudence of New
York, he said. In order that some deci-
sion might be reached as to the right OF
Early to recover damages for the man
ner in which he had been treated In
Washington.
DR.. Buckley said that while this phase
OF the matter was left in the background.
the final result was greatly pleasing to
Early.
The New York specialist pictured q
dramatic scene when. Early was declared
by the society not to be leper. Earay
was present when the verdict was reach
ed. He leaped to his feet and, throw
ing his arms out. cried:

And he was and Is, SO far as being Q
