This confidence will be all the
stronger from the fact that not a sim

Mining is the mainstay Of Mexico, and
eli Mexicans want the American and
foreign mining man to acquire and OPP
crate their mines. Madero and his
chiefs and victorious warriors, partic-
ularly those from the Siarras Of Chi
huahua, are either miners or else de-
rive their living from the mines and
mining industry. The Madero family
are among the most heavily interested
in mining and metallurgical industries
IN Mexico. They own some Of the
greatest mines in that country. and
own the great smelling plant in Tor
reon. being the only formidable rivals
OF the Guggenh eims. Self interest alone

almost its main resource eff wealth. He
would have the laws less onerous to
the poor prospector, by lessening the
almost prohibitory fees of mining
agents and surveyors. and thereby in
duce the prospectors to swarm in the
chihuahua mountains like they do in
Colorado. Arizona, Nevada and Califor-
