sity. The university of California is
a consolidated institution. 1t has un-
limited funds, and an army of profess
sors and instructors. 1t has the
highest standing as a university, and
can point to long list of distinguish
ed graduates.
But its agricultural department
has been weak. 1t has failed to give
satisfaction in California, and Cali
fornia young men are flocking north
to take advantage of the better ia
cilities offered at the Oregon insti-
tuition.
1t seems queer that under the cir
cumstances, there should be a desire
in Oregon to tinker with the Oregon
Agricultural college. The 81 Calfor-
MIA students taking agriculture at
Corvallis are 81 powerful arguments
against any tinkering with the Ore
gon institution. They are 81 power
full reasons for letting the institution
at Corvallis go on, without change, in
its career of splendid service to the
state.

agriculture than we could get at the
University of California"
The speaker was A. F. Mason,
third year student in the agricul-
tural course in the Oregon Agricnl-
tural college. His home is at Pasa-
dena, California. He is one of 81
California students at the Oregon in
stitution, 20 of whom are taking the
agricultural course. OF the number,
l6 are from Pasadena.
1t is a strange status for Califor-
mia, with its great agricultural in
terests and its great material re-
sources, to be sending students to the
number of almost 100 to the Oregon
Agricultural college for instruction
In agriculture. 1t is, of course, an
extraordinary commendation of the
Oregon institution. 1t is at the same
time a reflection on the agricultural
courses at the California institution.
The status is an evident argument

MONEY

Bait for the matrimonial hook.
The most effective substitute for
brains.
Money is the most difficult root to
cultivate.
That which women look for while
men sleep.
Money is the loudest sound in the
voice of life.
What the rich don't need and the
poor don't get.
A curse to some that have it and a
curse to all who haven't.
A provider for everything but hap
piness and passport to every place
except heaven.
The one thing that makes crooked
things look straight and straight
things crooked.
That which speaks a language we
can all understand, but in which so
few are able to converse.

Disliking to be inQuisitive this pa
per can not help wondering who
poured into the ears
The Menace OF of the Portland Ore
Canadian Oats. gonian that first
class joke about the
farmers of Umatilla county getting
ready to migrate to Canada because
the Underwood tariff contains a pro-
vision for free oats.
There are just two things wrong
with that tale. One is that Umatilla
county does not raise oats and the
other is that her farmers are not
figuring on migrating to Canada. A
great many honest Umatilla county
farmers did go to Canada some years
ago during the glorious days of the
protective tariff. They found that
Canada is much closer to the Arctic
ocean than is Oregon and that the
first thing they have to do up there
in order to get money out Of crop
is to get the crop. Not one of the
1000 or more farmers who went
north has ever come back in an au-
tomohile Meanwhile their brothers
down here in old Umatilla have just
finished selling the last of their
wheat around 50 cents a bushel-de-
spite the fact the tariff is under re-
vision.
AS to the politics of this question
that is a subject too complicated for
discussion in hot weather. At the
same time it would be interesting to
know what-in the judgment of the
Portland Oregonian-would have hap
pened had ex-President Tafts Can
adian reciprocity treaty been ratified
and the tariff on wheat abolished by
that process. The Oregonian was
staunch advocate of the reciprocity
treaty. Would free wheat and Can
adian competition have been alright
If given us by the g. o. p. and does
that medicine become poison if Of
fered by a different political party?
That seems to be the Portland Ore
gonian's view.

gold must have come from placer mines,
for one of his presents to Cortez was a
Spanish helmet filled to the brim with
grains of gold. He also sent the Spanish
general many ornaments, shields and
helmets of pure gold. and two circular
plates of gold, as large as carriage
wheels. The amount of gold taken from
MonteZuma and sent to Spain is estimat-
ed to have been worth at least $7.OOO.OOO
In the future however. the meaner metals
are liable to surpass gold in the mineral
production of Mexico The copper mined
in 1910 and 1911 was worth more than
all the gold produced that year, and the
iron possibilities are such from the great
iron mountain at Durango that that gross
metal will some day yield millions. To-
day the three most important copper min
ing enterprises are the Greene Cananea
and the MocteZuma and the Boleo, in
Baja, California. The Boleo mine has had
uniform output for nearly ten years.
and the Greene Cananea produced in 1911
more than 100000 pounds of copper.
The amount of copper in sight in western
Mexico is beyond conception, and the
country IS sure to be one of the great
es. of the copper producers for genera
tiora to come.
AS to iron. new deposits of that
metal have been recently found In
OaXaca and Vera Cruz, and. these de-
posts are said to amount to many
of tons. The most famous iron
mass of the country. however. is the
great iron mountain. which rises al
most out of the city of Durango. This
is perhaps the greatest mass OF iron

companies. Take. for instance, the
American Smelling and Refining Syn
dictate. 1t has smelters and mines
scattered all over the country and some
of it's organizations pay big dividends.
The present value Of the company's
property is estimated at $75.000.000 ard
amounting to s5S,000,O00 and accumu-
lated a surplus of more than $4,000
900. This companys smelling plants
have combined capacity of five or
six million tons and it's refineries of
almost half million tons every year.
In 1911 the net profits were more than
s6,0OO.000 and the dividends on it's COM
mon stock were IL per cent.
The Batopilas Mining Company owns
over 1.600 acres of mineral lands, and
it has in addition a smelling company
with a very large plant. It's capital
is 100000 and it 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
Amalgamated Gold Mines Company
owns properties in the Laluz district.
1t has installed modern machinery
worked by electricity and 1t has
ffty-two steel cyanide tanks. The
Guanahuato Consolidated Mining and

are deposits formed of network of sill

dozen mineral zones, containing silver.
gold, copper and lead, and two of the
mines there have increased their produc-
work going on in Sonora. where in the
past was found the biggest lump OF
silver on record. It's weight was ., $50
pounds, and it, was discovered by a poor
Indian, although by a dispute as to the
ownership the whole went to the crown.
Mexico is now annually turning out
about twenty five million dollars worth
of gold. The country has never been as
important in gold mining as in silver
mining. and today the bulk of it's gold
comes from silver veins which also carry

This region is one of the largest gold

iron a, mile long and almost q quarter
of a mile wide. rising to height
over three-f1fths that of the Washing
ton Monument. The ore Is hermatite,
and it is from so to 70 per cent pure.
The hill is said to contain 600 million
tons of ore above the surface, with no
notion of what may be below. and
it has been estimated to contain sew
eral billion dollars worth of iron.
There are similar deposits in Lower
of this size. The mountain contains
enough iron to supply the whole re-
public of Mexico for all time to come,
and with the possibilities of its un-
known depth 1T has enough probably
to last the world for thousand years.
1t is claimed by some of the local
scientists that this huge metallic lump
is a meteor which was dropped upon
the earth from some disintegrating
planet ages ago, but the biologists
say that this is absurd. and that 1t

than 1000 miles on q mule to study
it. Some Of this iron now goes to the

So far Mexico has no valuable coal
mines, but low-grade coal exists in
number of localities, and an official geo.
logical report of 1908 estimates the sup
ply in sight at 3OO,OO0,O0O tons. In addi-
ton to this are the enormous petroleum
fields, containing fuel oil, now being
opened, which promise to give this coun-
world. l have already written of these,
describing the wells which run 100000
barrels a day, and showing that Mexico
is now third among the oil-producing
countries and that she will soon surpass
Russia.
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 estimates
of William III. Seamon. a mining engi-
the United States owns more than two
thirds of all the mineral properties in
Mexico. The investments are worth Sob
COO.0OO, while those of the MeXicanS
themselves are only seven and one-half
millions and those of the English, who
stand next to U.s. are only SSNO,Do. or
about one-fifth 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 to-
gether have SmelterS worth only little
over $1OO0O,O0O.
