 REVENUE
(By Associated Press)

FL PASO, Jan. 27. - Export duties on sisal fibre from Yucatan and on crude oil from Tampico are the chief sources of income of the CarranZa gov ernment according to a financier just out of Mexico. Owing to reduced i'm pOrtations the ordinary customs are minor source he explains, while the suspension of work in the mines and factories and the unprosperous condi- tion of the ranchers has materially re duced the amount received in taxes.
 Mines and factories have suffered in some parts directly from bandits and rebels, but everywhere from lack of chemicals and other materials for which Mexico had formerly depended on Europe. Currency troubles and lack of sufficient coin to do business with have further had depressing effect.
 A decree issued by First Chief Car ranza, calling on all banks to liqui- date, will clean up number of in solvents. As the banks in Mexico are almost all run by British and French capital. this should give the banking interests of the United States an op-
 portunity to get foothold in Mexico | when it's government is put on a basis capable of attracting investors, he de- clared.

Stock of the Mother Lode recently dropped l4 points on the announce ment that the company had taken over the adjoining claims of lS0 acres and the townsite of the Houghton-Alaska Exploration Company. This ground adjoins the Kennecott and Mother Lode. The price to be paid was not divulged There seems to be veil of mystery as to why the Mother Lode Company should at this time seek additional holdings. and it is felt that the money 1t has on hand is needed for the financing and development of ground already owned. The fact that the Houghton- Alaska is said to own valuable water power rights which properly developed would facilitate the Mother Lode plans probably offers the real reason for this new acquisi- tion to it's holdings.
