Hermosillo, Mex, Dec. 1S.-Mine
troll of the Mexican constitutionalist
government may resume the operation
of their properties whenever they see
| fit. 1t was announced today by Igna-
clio Bonillas, secretary of industry IN
the Carranza cabinet, that if mining
men desiring to work mines located
in the states of Sonora, Chihuahua,
Sinaloa and Duronga would apply to
the constitutionalist department of
fomento, colonization and industry,
located there, they would receive the
necessary permits to resume opera
tions.
Under Mexican mining laws, mining
property may not be worked until for
NAL permits to do so have been issued
by the federal government. 1t was said
that many American and other foreign
nining men holding property in the
territory mentioned had found it i'm
possible to secure the proper authori-
zation from the government at Mex
leo City, and for this reason the min
ing industry in the north was in
state of stagnation.
Gomez Has Following.
Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 1S.-A special
train bearing 500 more refugees from
chihuahua reached El Paso today.
Among them were the employees of
industries owned by foreigners in and
near Chihuahua. They repeated
stories told by earlier arrivals that
conditions in the Mexican city since
it's occupation by General Francisco
villa, the rebel commander, were
such as to warrant the departure of
all foreigners.
A story that new revolution was
to be started against both Huerta and
Villa by Emilio VasQuez Gomez was
not credited here. The supporters of
Gomez have been constantly in evil
dence on the border and their issu
ance Of the proclamation in the name
of Gomez was regarded merely as a
repetition of former occurances that
have never led to anything. The new
est proclamation promised the support
of General Orozco and General Sala'
zar, who are now in the federal army
and of Felix Diaz, none of whom are
here. Nor is the whereabouts OF
Gomez known here. 1t was said that
Maxmo Castillo, at present operating
with a band of bandits south of the
New Mexico border, was to form the
nucleus of the new revolution.
No Money In Sight.
Paris Dec. 1S.-The efforts of the
Mexican government to raise money
in Europe in order to meet the inter"
est on it's obligations falling due in
January have thus far BEEN futile.
The Paris and London banks which
took s7,0O0,O0O of the loan authorized
by the Mexican congress in the spring,
and an option on the unissued re-
mainder, decline to exercise their op-
ton even for a few millions.
The Mexican minister Of finance,
Adolfe de la Lama, now in Europe,
brought with him authority from Gen
Grad Huerta to intimate to the banks
here holding the option that they must
either exercise it or surrender it. The
bankers refuse to do either.
A threat has been conveyed to them
cautiously that their option may be
revoked, so that the unissued portion
of the loan may be placed elsewhere.
The bankers have replied resolutely
that the contract cannot be revoked |
summarily, as Mexican credit would
be in a worse position after such a
revocation than it was before.
Vera Cruz, Mex, Dec. 1S.-The Rus
sion minister to Mexico, DR.. Alexander |
de Stalevski, conferred here today for
