CYANIDE PLANT AT
 PARRAL IN OPERATION

PARRAL, Mex, April 19.-Adviees
 from the manager states that the old cyanide plant at the Rosario mine is
 now in operation, treating 40 tons per
 day of the old tailings, with an ex- traction of the gold and silver values
 equal to $500 per short ton. The net
 revenue from this source alone will
 be more than sufficient to meet all the current expenses connected with the mine and the other properties of the company. A further portion of the machinery for the 5OO-ton plant
 has arrived at the mine. and 50,O00 feet of lumber has been cut for the new mill.
 High grade ore has been encounter ed in the Fl Rayo mine, Santa Bar bara. The strike was made in the northern part of the property about 250 feet below the workings in which a rich strike was mlde about year ago. A drift was being driven to cut the vein and another vein was en- eountered. The ore runs about $35 gold per ton.
 Several mining men are in the city waiting for things to quiet down. In the event of hostilities ceasing entire ly within a period of 60 days, this district and surrounding section can still show a wonderful record for out put as compared to several previous years. The mills are still turning out their share of bullion bars for market.
 Preparations are being made to re- sume operations at the Lustre prop erty, situated in the state of Duran go. Messrs. Gillingham & Clawson, experienced mining men of Los An geles, Cal, have the contract to open up the property. They will sink on different parts of the vein and make extensive tests as to the best methods of treating the ore. The Lustre has been shut down for about two years. It is one of the big properties of that section.
 The Adargas at Jimenez has chang ed hands several times in the past and lately it was purchased by an English syndicate who are now push ing work as rapidly as possible. H. 1 T. Justice, of Los Angeles, is in charge and over l50 men are em- ployed. Later it is planned to em- ploy in the neighborhood of 600 men, and a large mill will be erected. The trouble with the property in the past was the water problem. The ore is of excellent grade and can be shipped | at nice profit.
 R. G. Hall, general manager of the United Zine company, owners of the Tajo property in this district, left on Thursday for Kansas City. after mak ing tour of inspection of the mill and mine. Mir Hall thought things in general ought to pick up from now on.
 D. C. Little of the Guadalupe Mine, Inde, who mas been in the Teeolotes hospital, where he underwent surgi- ral operation, is eonvaleseing and is able to be about again.
 Fred Matthew of the Reforma Min ing company, Santa Barbara, left last week for Bueyrus, O., where he will spend month or so on business

Boost Local Baths.

The way to popularizs the hot
spring bath is to give them home
patronage. Then talk about
them to visitors and others who
come into the community. This
Is not simply for boosting those
who are behind the improved con-
ditions but to boost the city.
Everyone recognizes that next to
to the mining industry the min
eral waters are our principal
asset We should talk about
them with the same degree of en-
thusi iasm as the other. There
are lots Of people here who know
there are hot tunnel baths but
who have never been in them. If
all our business, professional
ruen and others would give them
a trial, they would then be in a
position to talk of them from prae
tical standpoint. When travelling
men come here to spend the night
or any other people with whom
these business men com in con-
tact, and inquire what is going
on In the town, there could be
nothing better done than to refer
them to the tunnel baths and in
this manner they would be made
popular. 1t is to everyone
business interests to talk up this
wonderful asset of the city. The
fact is that there should be
enough patronage by our local
home people to keep the tunnel
up to the present capacity. OF
ceuSse the capacity will be greatly
extended, but our own people
should be continual witnesses and
advocates of the efficiency of the
waters for pleasure as well as for
health purposes. There can be
no better Turkish baths and this
IS what many travellers look for.

plauded them. It was a business
audience for every one present,

something towards pushing Ida

to this fact by remaining through

1t would be monument to their

Denver boosters" have Sc
cured considerable help from the
railroads of the state in the boost
ers' campaign to convince the
the public that manufacturing in
Denver has not persisted. Rival
cities in other states in this zeal
to secure immigration have quoted
persons who have had controver-
versies with the railways to the
effect that unfair freight rates
had practically killed manufactur-
ing in Denver. Great and per-
maneut harm has been done in
Denver because of this information
being sent out by snvious cities of
other sections of the west.
The Denver and Rio Grande
railroad recently offered to sup
ply all the section of the east
with printed matter showing ex-
actly how Denver stands in re-
spect to manufacturing. The
figures given are taken from the
last census and give a comparison
between Denver and other cities of.
the same or greater population.
The result of this showing is
tsomething astonishing and acquites
Denver at once of being behind
other cities with respect to manu-
featuring. 1t shows that Denver,
with population of 213, 600 has a
factory employees pay roll of
$I2 200, 900 year or a million
dollars month. Seattle with a
237 900 population has a factory
employees pay roll Of $11,3I9,ooo
year or nearly 500. 900 less
than Denver. Portland with a
population of 3o7, 900 has fac
tory employees pay roll of SII,
72o, 900 a year or $3.50, 900 less
than Denver. Kansas City with
a population of 24o, 900 has fac
tory employees pay roll of Sl2 ,oo3,
4oe year or only $3,4o6 more
than Denver. Such places as
Des Moines, Iowa, Dallas Texas,
Spokane, Washington, Grand
Rapids, Michigan, Birmingham,
Alabama and other places known
all over the land because of their
factories have none Of them one
third of the manufacturing out
put of Denver.
The Denver and Rio Grande
propose to advertise Denver in
every section of the country as
the city scenically beautiful aud
dramatically superb with a factory
pay roll of a million dollars 4
month. This, it is believed will
give new character to the capi-
tol city of Colorado and corres-
pondingly benefit the whole
state.
The population of Denver in
creased 50 per cent in the period
between the last census and tho
, one before that and the increase
; of the capital interested in manu-
featuring in that city increased
70 percent showing that the in
crease of manufacturing is ex-
ceeding the increase of popula-
ton.
: When the railroad company has
spread the news concerning Den
yer, other cities of the state will
be taken up and their advantages
, shown in the same convincing
way.
