New York, July 24-Radical changes
in laws governing foreigners doing
business in Mexico are about to be
made by Gen. Carranza in series OF
DEGREES which later will be included in
a new constitution, according to recent
arrivals from Mexico City.
The new regulations. it is said, will
provide that all foreign investors, be-
fore entering business in Mexico, must
agree not to have recourse in any case
to any other law than that of Mexico
and that they will not be entitled to
any privileges not enjoyed by Mext-
cans. It will also provide that foreigl,
capital already investedaia~Mexico ico-zsa1
enjoy the right to be considered for
eign and be entitled to the protection
of it's own government until the expira-
ton Of the concession or agreement
that 1t may have entered into provided
it is not for very long period.
Another provision Is designed to fix
a uniform period for all the long or un-
limited contracts, leases or concessions
in which foreign capital is interested
and that at the end Of this period they
will be considered subject only to the
authority of the Mexican government
and deprived of the right of appeal for
protection to their respective govern
ments.
It is the belief of First Chief Car
rama and his advisers that these
measures will suffice to avoid the dan
ger Of complications with European
powers and as natural sequel will lift
from the United States the responsible
ity of defending the territorial integ-
rity of Mexico against the possibility
of seizure of lands or properties by any
foreign nation in order to pay the
claims Of their nationals

OZOKERITE DEPOSITS AROUND
SOLDIER SUMMIT AND COTTON

and issued by the department of the interior,
much valuable information is given relative to
"Ozokerte In Central Utah" In giving the com
position and properties of ozokerite the author
says: "Ozokerite is mixture of hydrocarbons
in various proportions, the exact nature of which
is a subject of dispute Some authors consider
that il is composed of members of the paraffin
series. Others place its chief constituents in the
oefin series" Redwood says: THE natural
inference is that in addition to crystalline paraf-
fin ozokerite contains certain cooidal sub
stances (amorphous paraffin), the presence of
which binders the capitalization of the paraf-
fin" 'ln color" Robinson continues, "ozokerite
varies from black or dark brown to light yellow,
but some specimens have greenish color Il
may be as soft as tallow or as hard as gypsum.
The light colored varieties yield the largest
amount Of ceresn, the refined product. The
melting point of ozokerite ranges, in general,
from SO TO 60 degrees c. Although paraffin
with melting point as high as that of ozokerite
may be extracted from petroleum, IL is not a
commercial product. and the paraffin that is put
on the market has a melting point considerably
lower. Ozokerite is soluble in ether, petroleum,
benzine, turpentine and carbon bisulphide"

OZOKERITE A RARE SUBSTANCE.
Throughout the western portion of the United
States there are numerous deposits of asphalt,
elaterite and kindred substances, but none of
them can boast of the peculiar qualities possess

its limited scope of production is especially valu

LAKE TELLS OF
FISH HATCHERY
Ponds I'm County With
Fine Trout

From the Ocean City Sentinel.
Assemblyman Mark Lake contributes
the following of interest TO readers of
the SENTINEL:
1.-THE members of the House of AS
sembly and Senator Edge on Thursday,
February Sd, visited the State Fish
Hatchery at Hackettstown, Warren
county. Our state has the honor of
maintaining the most complete and
%up-to-date hatchery in the world. 1t
is very interesting to see the methods
of the institution Matching and fur
nishing fish to stock the streams and
ponds of our state.
They have in the past three years
placed in the different streams of our
State Is, 000, 900 fish. At the time of
placing them in the different streams
the fish are two years old and weigh
from three-quarteJs to one pound each.
When the eggs or spawn are placed on
wire screens in a stream of running
water, it takes 40 to as days for them
to hatch. Then after Matching, in ten
weeks the fish will be ABOUT one inch
long. AT the present time they have
millions of fish from one to three inches
long, and from that size up to as large
as four and five pounds each.
If our people only understood the
amount of work that is being done,
without any expense to the State, to
keep alive the fishing sport, they would
not find so much fault. The fish and
game commissioners serve without pay
and give at least one hundred days
each year in serving the best interests
of the fish and game commission.
II there are any ponds or streams in
our county that al be used by the
fisherman who pays his license to fish,
l will see that they are stocked with
the finest trout that ever graced a fish
