MINERAL POINT.

TINA ARE in Mineral Point is
= a well known fact. A few years ago a house of six or
seven rooms could be had at a rental of from ST to So
per mouth. Houses Of like size cannot now be obtained for less
than from $40 to $12 per month. The householder who is with
out a home Of his own is, therefore, called upon to solve a serious
problem. He must either buy a home, or prepare to pay in
creased and increasing rents. Those who contemplate buying
property in Mineral Point will find the present an opportune
time to do 50. The great Zinc Works are not only here to stay,
butt is more than probable that in addition to the completion Of
the extensive improvements which are now under way additions
will be made to the plant from year to year. And this means a
great deal for Mineral Point; but it also means that the value
Of real estate will advance, and that in consequence rents will
continue high.

and Mexico a bureau Of information and

Mexican products have been established
at 80 Broadway, New York City, with
tine approval of officials of both coun-
tries. President de la Barra, of Mexico,
has appointed Herriberto Barron, q
prominent newspaper man and former
Mexican congressman, as commercial
representative of Mexico in the United
States"
Elisha Hollingsworth Talbot, also a
newspaper man, who has spent a great

representative of the bureau. Mr. Tai
bot is an authority on Mexican affairs.
He is the author of 9oo-page book en-
titled, Commercial and Industrial Mex

he has been advocating the establish
ment of the bureau, realizing the great
value 1t will be to both countries COM
mercially. The present Mexican Am
bassador to this country, Senior Zama-
coma, conceived the idea about twenty
years ago, and submitted the plan to
President Diaz, but it did not meet with
the executives approval
The bureau is located in the building
occupied by the consul general Of Mex

can cooperate TO the benefit Of both It
is expected that later branches will be
established in st. Louis, Chicago, San

SO that each country may know what
the other is producing. This will correct
many wrong ideas which are now cur
