RIO PLATA MINE
 CONTINUES TO PRODUCE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The production of silver by the Rio Plata mine, in the State of Chi huahua, Mexico, for the month of February, was 7O,712 ounces.
 Owing to the fact that the insur- rectionists are active in Chihuahua the product, which has heretofore been sent by mule to Sanchez, eighty five miles to the eastward, is now sent to the west to Alamos, making its way to the smelter, and finally to market in San Francisco, rather than In New York.
 The mine is situated so far from the center of the insurreetion, and IS so remote from all kinds of supplies that it has not been seriously affect ed by the troubles. It has even been able to command an ample supply of labor, owing to the fact that other mines, less favorably situated, have been compelled to suspend operation

JEWEL ROBBERS MAY
 ESCAPE UNPUNISHED

NEW YORK, March 2I. = The startling fact that tine perpetrator of certain kinds of thefts can boast of their acts with perfect immun- ity here Is the most curious devel- opment of the recent robbery of something like $13O,OOO worth of jew elry from a passenger on an ocean liner. Although the police are con dueting search for the thieves it is the opinion of foreign representa- tives that the hunt is a mere waste of time because of the extradition laws with the country from which the vessel came.
 According to these experts, the thieves might hire a theater, invite the District Attorney and the Chief of Police as guests of honor, and give a lecture explaining just now they had carried out the job. Pro vided it could not be shown that the booty had been brought into this country nothing could be done to punish them for an admitted crime. To the lay mind it is a bit difficult to understand why self-eon- fessed criminals should not be appre- hended and punished, but the law shows that unless the booty has been brought into this country such a thing could not be done.
 Some months ago an American cit izen stole diamonds in Brussels val ned at a large figure, going thence to Mexico, where the jewels were pawned. All the facts in the case were known, and on his arrival in New York the thief was arrested. The District Attorneys office, how ever. decided that the man could neither be prosecuted nor extradited, and although his guilt was easy of proof he had to be set free. Had he brought the jewels into this eoun- try, however, he could have been prosecuted and if convicted, punished.
