Regarding the article on this sub ject last week the large deposit spoken of has been known for a number of years. but has only been located in recent years. We were cognisant of it and an article appear
 ed in reference to it in the mining columns of The Republican on Febru

 The present company acquiring the
 property has been formed mainly to get all the holdings together, survey and perfect the titles and induce cap ital to invest for the purpose. of ship

In every mining boom you will find

 For every good, honest and legitimate promotion, there are a thousand spur ious ones. It is not at all easy to de- tect the wheat from the chaff The pitfalls are well laid, more especially if the broker with whom you do business is promoting something. He is very | much akin to the salesman, who, not carrying standard brands of goods, off CTS you something just as good" Very often the promoter, to sell his wares-and make his profit-Will go out of his way to derogate the value of proven investments of sterling worth to induce you to dispose of them, in order that you may realize funds to buy his wares. He is cunning, and may catch you unaWares.
 We therefore, issue a word of warn ing to mining security buyers, and pre- sent holders of securities. Do not buy a promotion until you have examined every detail, physical, financial, corpor- ate, until you have investigated the men behind the promotion, until you have satisfied yourself that it is honest in every respect
 The editor of The Outlook offers the benefit of long experience in mining se- curitieS affairs to the readers of this publication, on the subject Of any pro-
 motion. There are things he can see that you may overlook. The 'jokers" are cleverly hidden, and a little imper- sonal, honest advice on any promotion that you contemplate buying may help to avoid spurious or ill-advised in VeStment.

stand them to be are these: Not that
kennebunk is the heart and meat and
soul OF the whole thing. 1t only occupies
that position geographically The fact
is the town Of Kennebunk is an old VIII
lage; its growth is complete it is not
a growing place. These two wings. made
up Of the summer residence localities
such as the place where my friend from
Wells tMr. Littlefield) lives. and, coming
this way, Biddeford Pool-those are the
places where the extensions have been
recently made, and they are the growing
communities. 1t appeared to US that it
was only question of a few years time
when that growth will be SO great that
the company would never know the diff
ference, and they would be operating
larger and more printable plant without
kennebunk than they are today with it.
| want to impress on YOU what seems to
me to be the fact that Kennebunk is not
the whole meat Of 1t: that taking away
kennebunk does not deprive them of
anything very material, and the analysis
of the figures made by my friend from
kennebunk CMr. Waterhouse) clearly
bears that out. 1t seems that they did
have grievance against the company,
and the company admitted it by saying
that they have made constant efforts,
and were still making efforts, to correct
those difficulties.
So far as going to the Public Utilities
Commission is concerned, I agree that
that is proper place to go If they elect
SO to do; but this Legislature never in
tended the Public Utilities Commission to
be an exclusive remedy; only concurrent
with the Legislature. I hope that the
vote may be in favor OF the adoption Of

Vera Cruz, March 10.-The following
is the text of Gen. Carranza's reply
to the note of Secretary Of State Bry-
an:
Although the terms in which this
note is worded would afford me cause
for not answering, it is my wish not
withstanding that my silence be not
construed as justification of charges
contained in the same. l have tried 10
put aside for the moment references
which are made to my personal re-
sponsibility and looking only for the
good of my country and for the bene-
tit Of the cause which the Mexican
people have entrusted to me, l thought
my duty to answer at once. On the
ether hand, in view Of the importance
Of the subject discussed in the afore-
said note, 1 have thought myself au-

president WILSON, personally concern
ing matter which may involve the
state Of the Mexican revolution. In the
note l am answering, it is taken for
granted that the inGutations made
against Gen. Obregon by an interna-
tfOTdl committee OF 1OTclSn TeSlOSNlS
in Mexico City, the substance Of which
also has been communicated to me by
Mr.. Sille.dan in his note Of the first

has been INDUCED in when the answer
TO those imputations was being pre-
pared.
''Reservingthe privilege Of answering
more fully and in detail through the
customary channels the note referred
10 later, take this opportunity to state
in an earnest and emphatic way that
Gen. Oregon never has intended to in
cite the hungry populace of the City OF
Mexico to commit outrages Of any char
acter. He mas not prevented in any way
the entrance of food supplies into Mex
leo City, but on the contrary mas facil-
itated such importations He has not
created wilfully the distressing condi-
tons which prevail at present in Mexi-
CO City. but has done everything in his
power TO alleviate them.
Such a situation is the consequence
of a painful but unavoidable state OF
war in which We are and which for the
first time really has reached Mexico
City. but it has been aggravated by the
conduct OF merchants who were openly

maintaining the plant is about $1,000
in round numbers. and this would
only reduce it $4,000 leaving about
SO. 900 TO be met by Wells, Kennebunk,
kennebunkport. Cape Porpoise and
Fortunes Rocks, SO that as we say it
would reduce the net income nearly
one-half.
1t is not the policy of the State to
do an injustice to any body of men
who may get together and build up
these water companies throughout the
State. The time has not yet arrived
when the State of Maine can do away
with our private enterprises and pri-
vate capital: the matter of compensa-
ton does not enter into it at all: the
matter of compensation is left to the
courts. and if the company is to have
all of its Indebtedness it would still be
Invested of that portion which pays
one half of its net income; and We say
if that is to be done at all, such wa
ter district should be composed Of Ken
nebunk, Wells and kennebunkport, as
it was anticipated when the original
contract was made and made as an in
ducement for the compny to come ian.
The matter has been discussed to a
considerable extent and two years ago
the Legislature in it's wisdom formed
the Public Utilities Commission, and
they have their remedy, and whenever
in the wisdom of the Legislature they
see fit to establish a water district to
take in all these towns and take in that
plant. there will be no objection from
this company. l hope the motion to
adopt report y, ought to pass" will
be defeated.
