in disposing of the property to Chilean

Kemp had no knowledge of the value

took Ii and went off to Europe. He
spent right and left and within less
than two years his fortune was gone
He then came back to Chile. expecting
TO get another 100000 by the sale OF
his stock In the meantime the price
of tin had fallen, and the shares that
Kemp took at par were each worth 10
cents instead of IS. He thought he had

piled that there was now no money IN

rose and he was able to recapitailze

There are other tin mines of enormous

will remedy many such evils. One Of
these has already been enacted. 1t pro
vides that the contestant to a mining
claim must deposit 500 with the gov
eminent to show the good faith of his
suit, and that this is TO be forfeited in
case he cannot make good. Another law
provides that the annual dues and fees
for holding the title to a mine must be
all paid by the 31st of December Of each
year. In the past such dues have been
allowed to run on and the mining title
be considered good If they were paid IN

out a claim to a property twenty-five

and the tin we get from Bolivia is
taken down to the seacoast in the ore
and shipped off to England, where 1t
is smelted and then carried across the

Mr. Knowles thinks that the enormous
canning industry of California should
establish Its own tin plate mills. and
that the tin ore should go north along
the Pacific coast from the mines to the

At present it costs about $50 to get tin

liyian mining I would say that the
future of the country depends largely
upon the passage of the laws advo-
Gated by the president and congress.
Just now the protection of mining invest
ments in Bolivia is not so good as IN
Peru. There is a regular business In the
contesting of titles by the lawyers, ana
in fighting for mines that other men
own I am told that there are many
SINISTER lawyers and others who make
a practice of laying claims 10 every
mine supposed to be good ana OF con-
testing its title as soon as 1t is de-
nounced. Said one of the leading rail-
road men of Bolivia to me yesterday:
Il might go to the heart of the back
woods in the eastern part OF TINS coun-
try and lay claim to mine nun
dred miles from where any White man man
ever trod If ] did so l venture that
within two days after that mine was a
matter of record there would be a half
dozen applications filed. disputing my
title and swearing that the contestant
had record proof that he owned It.
This is especially SO of any mine,
thought to be good, and that even
long after the mine has been prohtaply
worked. Not long ago the engineers OF
the largest American copper syndicate
came to La Paz and spent six months
looking over the ground. They found
plenty of good prospects, but refused
to invest under the present laws and
went over the border to Chile where
they could be sure of their titles
"One has also to watch the papers
that his own lawyers prepare making
his claim" this man continued. Il know
of one case in which a big proposition
was almost lost by an error In the DE-
scription The lawyer in giving the
feet or meters from a certain point used
the word northeast" where ne should
have used the word north" When the
error was called to his attention he SAID
it was a slip of the pen. but had II
been so recorded it would have resulted
in yitiating the title to a property
worth hundreds of thousands Of dollars.
l have no doubt that that error was IN
territorial and that with view to a law
suit in the future"
Moreover. any large property taken up
by a Gringo is sure to have four or nve
contests filed against 1t by people who

How to Shyd a Rough,
Chapped or B. otchy Skin
(From Beauty's Mirror.)


This is what you should do to shed
a bad complexion: Spread evenly
over the face, covering every inch of
skin, thin layer of ordinary mercol
lied wax. Let this stay on over night,
washing it off next morning. Repeat
daily until your complexion is as clear,
soft and beautiful as young girls.
This result is inevitable, no matter
how soiled or withered the complex
ion. The wax literally absorbs the
filmy surface skin, exposing the lovely
young skin beneath. The process is
entirely harmless, so little OF the old
skin coming off at time. Mercol-
lied wax is obtainable at any drug.
