tionized the shoe-making industry in Picking. according to the Chinese Eco | nome Bulletin. When official shoes made of satin were in vogue among the well-to-do, md the poorer classes wore shoes made out of cotton cloth, the business was prosperous; but now the old-style shoes have been discarded for foreign-style leather shoes which are imported, or made by another class of artisans from Shanghai or other treaty ports. For this reason Picking shoe-makers are engaged almost entirely in making cheap footwear for the poorer classes.
 Another industry affected is baking. Owing to a liking for foreign-style pastry, the business of Chinese bak- cries is falling off. Bread is being used more and more. A few years ago, it is said, there were in Picking more than 400 bakeries turning out Chinese food, whereas today there are only 127.
 Medicine shops, although showing a decrease turnover, are less serious ly affected because of the enormous profit to which the business lends it. self.

PACHUCA IS FAMOUS l CENTER OF MINING.
Has One of Richest Silver Mines
 in the Whole World

Washington, D. C., Feb. 1.-Pachu- ca, capital of the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, captured by Mexican reyo- lutionists. is one of the worlds great est and most famous mining centers, according to a bulletin from the Washington. D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society.
 One of Pachuca's silver, mines, the Real del Monte, contained the coun- terpart of Nevada's famous Cum stock Lode" says the bulletin, which as everyone knows is the accepted synonym for mining riches; and the wealth of romance and adventure that has sprung from it has rivaled the metallic treasure. An incon- spicuous muleteer became the owner of the mine in 17s9 when it's value was unknown. His pick opened up a bonanza vein such as seldom has been uncovered. Soon he was a mutimillionaire in day when even millionaires were rare. He pre- scented several fully equipped warships to the king of Spain and for his happy thought was made count Condo de Santa Maria de Regla. This Mexican Count of Monte Cristo' spent his millions with lavish hand and his memory is cherished in Mexican traditions.
 Wealth Drowned by Underground
 River.
 The famous mine came to a tragic end soon after the Counts rise to for tune, by the bursting into 1t of a sub terranean river. Its drowned riches remained untouched until near the middle of the nineteenth century when efforts to reopen it by British engineers led 10 frenzied speculation and a crash among london investors rivaling those of the Mississippi bubble. Local Pachucans bought up the bankrupt company and promptly found second bonanza vein even richer than the first. Silver valued at more than so million pesos has been taken from the second vein.
 ''Pachuca's mining fame does not rest alone on the Real del Monte mine. The town lies In big gulch with hills rising on three sides. The slopes of these hills are honey combed with hundreds and hundreds Of mine tunnels. Outside Of each is g characteristic terrace of gray stone tailings.. In the town are reduction works, assay offices and the other inevitable aecompaniments of mining in every part of the world. Most Of the 10000 inhabitants of Pachnca are connected in one way or another Nith the dominant industry and the place has the appearance of a mining camp which in truth 1t has been since the first shaft was sunk in 1Esi.
 Tn the hills near paehuca is an exposure of great siy-sided basnltIe columns which has been termed The Giants Causeway of America Mexico City lies less than 75 miles to the south Of Pachucn."
