There are some known facts which have been point cd out by Mexican officials as lend ing strong support to the truth of the reports that the bandit chiefs career has been closed by death.
 These facts are that Villa has been suffering for more than year from a virulent form of. blood poisoning. Villa was treated for this disease while In Juarez by pr. w. l.. Brown, one of the best known physicians in Fl Paso. pr. Brown states that the condition of Villa was such that even a minor wound would have been fatal in ten days unless treated promptly. With the best medical skill and care, even under the most favorable con- diuons. such a wound would be grave in character.
 Another message from Chlhauhau City received here today stating that rioting had broken out there, was re- ga-ded as in a measure conhrmatory of the bandits death.

Bradley. II. c. Perkins and Hennen Jennings.

 "Yes. it is true that the three en- gineers named in the article appear ing in tho Marcs issue Of the Mining Magazine win reach Treadwell some time in June for the purpose of mak- ing an examination Go enable them to recommend the basis on which each company can enter the proposed consolidation. The task will take some considerable time. inasmuch as it necessitates the estimation of the present ore reserves and also m es- emation of the ore that each mine win yield in the future The value of each company's surface property and the value of each comoany's holdings in such joint utilities as the Central Power Plant the Central Hoisting and Crushing Plant and the Cyanide Plant will also have Co be determined
 CT cannot state just how soon the matter of consolidation will be com pieted. since the report Of the inyes- ticating engineers will have to be considered and approved by the con- soiidation committee of the board of directors Of each company and there after submitted to the stockholders for ratification.
 "The program for shaft sinking has been under way for some time. Our own engineers as well as the firm of Bradley. BruR & Labarthe have been working for some months on plans for a new combination mill and cy- anide plant and also for a new com bination hoist and crushing plant The plans that have been developed for this work include mill of 5000 tons daily capacity and an electric hoist to have Q capacity os about 300 tons per hour from a depth of 4500 feet.
