ANOTHER PossIBILITY.-It is point
The Washington times., 1911-06-02

MEXICO CITY, June 2.-Because of
the critical situation confronting Mex
leo, the arrival of Francisco l. Madero,
jr., is anxiously awaited by Provisional
President de la Barra. Reports from
nearly every quarter of the republic tell
of a reign of terror caused by bandits,
who are numbering and plundering at
will.
Governors. secretaries OF state, judges,
jefe politicos, and nearly every official
named under the Diaz regime have
abandoned their offices after sending in
their designations to the proper officials.
Without restraint from the authorities,
a state of anarchy is threatened.
Wants Madero to Act.
Because of the report that a good
deal of the trouble comes from the fail
ure of Madero commanders to restrain
their subordinates, de la Barra has
been loath 10 take the Initiative in sup
pressing disorders. as soon as Ma6ero
reaches this city he will be asked to
aid in restoring order.
Another cause of fear at present is
the dangerously small supply of food on
hand. Prices are Soaring skyward and
the poems are suffering from munger.
Madero wants the Import tax raisLd
from all food stuffs. 0Itr this will hardly
help the sitIat'Cn.
Plan Suggested.
1t is suggested that the government
negotiate a bond issue and devote the
proceeds to ieeding the needy until ar
rangements can be made for working
the farm lands again. That this years
crops are a failure is due to the pres
ence in Madero's army of thousands of
farmers, and 1t is asserted by Madero-
ties that the least the leader can do
is TO see that tie men who stood by
him, and their families, are cared for
nntil they can resume their regular
work.

rounding Central City. This is not
a boast. Conditions as to capacity
of output can be verified. Anyone
acquainted with the situation could
go over in his mind and recall that
dozens of properties, in the past, had
such and such a record. 1t is years
since operations ceased on these.
They could readily be put in shape
to produce a greater tonnage OF ore
than ever. The beauty of 1t is that
most of these could be operated just
as though they had not been shut
down. That is, anyone taking hold
could have a vein upon which to
work at the start No prospecting at
all necessary.
Considering all the circumstances,
the conditions are remarkable. The
output of ore could be increased at
will. 1t is not expected that much
ore be shipped when mere te"
mines are worinkg. Let half. as said
begin to output and all other dis
tricts would appear insignificant. II
is a pity that conditions are moi
more favorable to the mine owner

owing to reasons best understood b!
himself, he is unable to realize OF
such a valuable asset at present.

COULD INCREASE THE
OUTPUT AT WILL

The steady increase in the output
OF ore indicated by the shipments to
smelters during the past month tells
n story full of possibilities. Ordinar-
lily this should be passed upon as
simply news Of kind expected.
There is more than that back OF it.
IL shows how easily the mines can
increase their output when there
are inducements. Offered q fair ex-
Change, the Gilpin mines could IN
crease their tonnage to limits sur
prising. There are so many, many
mines from which ore could be ex-
tractca. 1t is actually n shame they
are not permitted to co 1t for war;
ious reasons. These are understood
by every man with a mine that has
ore.
1t has been repeatedly said that
the number OF leads uncovered are
remarkable In number. The amount
OF ore that might be extracted from
these would tax the capacity of the
railroad. There is possibility that
the best mines in the district are
not at present engaged in taking out
mineral. The reason for this rests
with their owners. Rest assured, the
properties In this vicinity are not
doing their best. Were half OF them
working to ful capacity no mining
town in the state would equal the
output furnished by the mines sur
