But let me tell you how Uncle Sam is
interested in these Mexican mines. Our
people own more mineral properties
than the Mexicans themselves and all
other foreigners. According to the es-
Inmates of William H. Seamon, a min
ing engineer who has had a long ex-
perience here, the United States owns
more than two-thirds of all the mineral
properties in Mexico The investments
are worth s22S,000,0 900. while those of
the Mexicans themselves are only seven
and one-half millions and those of the
English, who stand next to us, are only
$43,000,000, or about one-ffth as large.
In addition to this we have more than
twice the amount invested in smelters,
having put more than s26, 100000 into
that industry. while the MeXicans and
all other nations together have smelt-
erS worth only a little over 100000
There are scores of American COM
panies which have mineral properties
here and there is hardly a city or town
in the United States which does not
own more or less Mexican mining
stock. There are some very large
companies Take, for instance, the
American Smelling and Refining syn
dicate. 1t has smelters and mines
scattered all over the country and some
of its organizations pay big dividends
Inc present value OF the cOmpanyS $
property is estimated at $75,000,o00 and
in 12 years it has paid dividends
amounting to s5s.00O,000 and accumu-
lated a surplus of more than $4,000
000 This company's smelling plants
have a combined capacity of five or
six million tons and its refineries of
almost a half million tons every year.
In 1911 the net profits We're more than
S6,000,000 and the dividends on its COM
mon stock were II per cent.
The Batopilas Mining company owns
over 1000 acres of mineral lands and
1t has in addition a smelling company
with a very large plant. Its capital
is $3,000.000 and 1t has a surplus of
an equal amount
There is a great deal of American
money invested in the Guanahuato sill
yer mines and there are four great
mining companies working there. The
Amalg gamated Gold Mines company
owns properties in the Laluz district.
1t has installed modern ,machinery
worked by electricity and it has so
steel cyanide tanks. The Guanahuato
Consolidated Mining and Milling COM
pany, with offices in New York, has
dozen or more mines, including the
Sirena, which has been worked for
more than 100 years, and the GUIANA
huato Development company, incor-
porated in New Jersey. controls the

Leading MelhOdists OF the Atlanta
district began To-Day the task that they
accepted cheerfully at an informal
meeting last night-that of raising S15,-

struction Of Methodist church in Ha-
vana, Cuba.
At u dinner assembly in the Cafe
Durand last night 20 Methodist min
listers and laymen representative of
Atlanta and the adjacent territory were
present and pledged without reserva-
ton, the support of their people to the
work. They represented, it was an
nouuced, more than 10000 church mem
bers.
The work will be done under the
auspices of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement, which, according to the ov-
idence Of last nights dinner, has ac-
CURED great impetus in this section.

filed by a layman at both the morning
and the evening services next Sunday
and the following Sunday.

block OF Methodism in the country" de-

The need Of missionary work, the eff

all the talks Of the evening.
The plan adopted to raise the money
consists OF applications to individual

coil is the result of Nicola Tesla's ex-
