Government Aid Is Forth

Mexico City. April 3.-(R-The
collapse of Mexico's great mining in
dustry. declares President Garcia OF
the national chamber of mining. IS In
evitable II government aid Is not
forthcoming.
He points to mining legislation and
the lack Of railroads In prospective
mining territory as the chief troubles
besetting the industry. He says that
many companies are operating at q
loss and recommendations have been
made to some of the largest firms In
Mexico to liquidate their interests
as soon as possible.
Silver, lead, and zinc mining COM
prises one of the oldest industries IN
Mexico. It was one of the earliest
occupations Of the Spanish colonial
era and mines that originally were
dug by the Spaniards still constitute
the chief fields of exploitation. This
Garcia holds, Is one OF the major
causes Of the crisis.
The Spaniards found the Mexican
mountains rich in metals and With
small financial investment they were
Able to extract these minerals ant
send them to the market In Europe
But the Spanish mines have been ex
plotted through centuries, until to
day they are nearly exhausted ant
the percentage Of metal In the or
Is so small that only by investmen
Of much capital and use Of modcri
machinery can the mining operation
be continued at profit. Within
few years, Garcia declared, even thi
profit will disappear and it will b

WATER SHORTAGE AT PLANT

The hydro-electric plant is op- etrating on short hours these days power being cut off from one o'clock at night until five in the morning. This is due to the fact that water in the dam is so low that sufficient pressure is not obtained to run the plant at normal capacity for the full day.
 Leaks in crevices above the dam are responsible for this. Re- pairs have never made because when it rained, it was not neceS- Sary and when water was need ed most, weather conditions and snow and ice prevented.

the California of Alaska" and the Southern Alaska Summer land"
 One of the greatest obstacles we encounter to sell the Ter
 ritory to the American public, is
 the damaging misconception
 which most people have that the Territory is cold, bleak and un- inviting" says E. G. McMicken, Passenger Traffic Manager of the Admiral Line. 'This thot, of course, became rather firmly implanted in the public mind or iginally by those opposed to the purchase and whereas little has been done to counteract it, much has been done by disinterested outside factors to keep the thot prevalent. We have for sever al years been trying, in many ways, to offset this harmful in fuence and create the true and proper conception. All of our advertising, including our news paper advertising turnout the Pacific Northwest and in the na- tional magazines is carefully de- signed toward this end, and we anticipate that our new book, 20. 900 copies of which are being dis tributed turnout the country, will prove a helpful contribution toward this purpose"
 The Admiral Line inaugerates it's Southeastern Alaska Cruises on the ninth of May and ends them on the 18th of September.

 He followed these remarks by stating the need of a school gymnasium and the offer of the P. A. F. Company to give to the town for school purposes a large lot adjoining the schoolhouse.
