never had any decisions about the
secret Of his hold on his people. He
well knew It to be military, and he
never, except toward the very last,
was remiss in his cultivation Of the
strength OF his army.
One of his chief military plans was
the establishment and maintenance OF
the military school at Chapultepec.
It was the Mexican West Point There
Disz had assembled the best tnstruc-
tors obtainable for the subjects re-
CURED in the training OF a modern
soldier.
Theoretically the students 81 Cha

dents at West Point one from each OF
the congressional districts throughout
the republic and as a result Of com
petitive examination. But like other
things in Mexico practice and theory
went far from hand in hand. The Mex
leans have the best constitution and

Curiously his preference was always
for the aristocrat Nothing pleased
him more than to learn that the young
scion OF some ancient house was de-
sirous Of entering Chapultepec.
/ Thus, 3s years ago, when Dfaz was
informed that the 1S-year-old Victori-
ano. son Of the Huertas OF chihuahua,
desired TO become a soldier, he old
not hesitate a moment, but signed I'm
! mediately an order for his entrance TO
the military academy, despite the fact
that the district from which he came
already had three representatives in
Chapultepec.

passably we'll He was neither at the
head nor the foot of his class. He
was graduated with honors, being
about about the 10th in a class of near

a regiment on the west coast.

about to say Notwithstanding to the
constitution.
Huerta required that Lascurain be
advanced to the presidency, while he
himself was appointed to the porto
Ito OF foreign affairs. Then. after 26
minutes, he accepted the congressional
appointment to the presidency. And
all of this was quite in accordance with
the constitution. and is no very great
violence to Diaz's parting injunction;
at least, ii is not a great departure for
Mexico.
Whether Huerta can accomplish
more in the presidency than he could.
first under Diaz and then under Ma
dero, remains to be seen. He will
have no larger military force and no
more loyal an army than he mad then
Under both presidents he was the COM

It was said that on the 10th OF last
September, the day of the celebration
OF Mexican independence from Spain,
he would attack the garrison at Juarez
and make himself president.
When Madero faced him with this

The tears came into Huerta's eyes.
He Frustrated himself and kissed the
hand OF the nations exalted ruler,
who was about TO pass forever from
the scene Of his conQuests. He said
nothing He made no remonstrance,
by word or look. He was at that mo-

When we look over the reports of what are termed great gold mines of the United States and compare them with the Tom Reed and Gold Road mines of thls county their annual out put is but tithe of the local mines. Some Of these mines returned from 25O, ,OOOS to l,000,000$ gross and the net in many cases ls very small. Take the Lonely Reef mine of Rhodesia, with capitalization of l.60O, ,OOO$. It gave a return of 76S, S,OOO$. from some- thing over 37,0OO tons of ore and a net profit of 3S4, ,000$. This was one of the big mines of that country, which In Arizona would be considered small proposition. Other mines show prac- tically no net, although the invest ment ran well into the millions. Were it not for cheap labor many of these mines could not be handled. With the same conditions this county would open the eyes of the world to its great production of gold, but until cheaper power and greater water facilities are developed the mines will have to plug along and pay minimum dividends to their stock holders.

RICH ORE IN CALAVERAS.-Some few weeks ago Walter Osselin of Sheer Ranch discovered near Indian creek g lead that looked pretty good to him It was on land belonging to F. Mitch eler of Murphys, so he took some oi the rock to him and advised him tc have it assayed. This Mitcheler pro- ceeded to do,. and the result showed over 7l$ per ton gold value.
 Osselin believes that it is an eXten' sion of the old Calaveras mine on h. dian creek, which was one of the rich est mines In the county, with big lead, that yielded many tons of 4OS rock, in the days when no attention was paid to sulphurets.-Calaveras Prospect.

More men have been sent to the Nevada Arizona mines at Music noun tain this week for the purpose of sink ing the shaft to greater depth and to open up enough water to fill the mill requirements.
 Owing to lack of timber, work has been suspended on the Silver Hill mines, at Chloride. The drift from the bottom of the new shaft has enter- ed the old works and before further drifting can be done this ground will have to be caught up. The shaft was in ore when sinking was discontinued.
 A good sized holster is to be install ed on the Yellow Jacket mine, in Aubrey district by Messrs. Davidson and Theis. Robert Jacobson is super intending the property. The mine is showing big bodies of a mixed ore at 2 depth of 100 feet and it is thought that better results will be obtained with greater depth.
 Leasers have sunk a 100 foot lift below the tunnel level of the Chester mine, at Chloride, where they have opened splendid body of shipping ore. These men have also arranged for the installation of plant to crush and concentrate the lower grades of ore that the mine produces, which will give the property considerable daily tonnage.
 Newton Evans, accompanied by J. F. Mitchell, of Nevada, and H. M. French, of Los Angeles, have been looking over mining possibilities of this section the past several days. Mr. Evans has options on a large acreage of lands in the country south of Yucca and expects to do great things with it, and he has also been promoting several big mining propo- sitions. The lands are sure to become very valuable and with the proper ex. penditure of capital should produce fruits, as we'll as agricultural products in abundance.
 It is reported that work will soon be under way on the old Copper Prince mlne, at Swansea and that as soon as the property is in shape to produce the company may run line of rail road into Mohave county to get the benefit of the fuxing ores of the Bill Williams Fork and the lower end of the Wallapais. A railroad into that section would be of untold benefit to this county, as it would open up a great mineral section. as we'll as giv- ing a market to the farmers of the Big Sandy valley.
 Work on the retim mbering and en- larging of the Golconda shaft has been carried from the 40J to the 200 level of that property, and it is expected that the work to the surface will be con- pleted within the next forty days. Those that have been through the mine lately report that the ore bodies showing in all the levels are immense. From the Prosperity tunnel a great deal of ore may be taken. the entire drift being In ore, although much of it is of milling value. Near the line of the Golconda the vein widens into a big body of pay ore, suitable to ship ping by the cobbing method. In the Tub the ore body is very large and should become great shipper. With the completion of work on the shaft the mine will resume shipment of ore to the Oklahoma smelters. This is the only zinc mine in the state, and in fact in tha southwest.
