Prospectors Find
No Means of Life
In New Gold Field
Suffering and Privation
Are Reported Rife at
El TambOr.

BY the Associated Press.
MAzATLAN, Mexico. April 2s.-
Stories of great suffering and starvation
among prospectors in the new gold
fields near FL Tambor. Sinaloa,- have
been brought here by disheartened
miners, who. abandoning efforts to
make a fortune, are returning home.
Caravans Of prospectors and their
families arrive at the field daily, but
find that they cannot stake claims until
legal points connected with those al
ready set UP have been settled. The
new arrivals. most Of whom spent all
they possessed in getting to the field,
find nothing in the mining settlement
to give them a means of living.
Efforts to discourage fortune-seekers
from going to the field have been made
by publication in Mexico and abroad
of statements that the gold strike is not
so rich as reported, but they have met
with little success.

ITALY AND RUSSIA
RENEW TRADE PACT
Expected to Increase 1881
Commerce. Exchanges
Almost 100 Per Cent.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, April 28.-Under terms OF
renewal and expansion Of the 1880
Italo- Russian commercial treaty, signed
yesterday, commercial interchanges be-
tween the two nations are expected to
be almost doubled during the remainder
of 1881.
The original convention, dated August
2, 1880, provided that Italy would fur
nish 200, 900, 900 lire worth of goods to
Russia, which was in turn granted the
privilege of selling oil and coal in Italy
at a price below the world market.
The amount of business specified was
done in the first eight months there
after, making unnecessary the renewal,
which increases the amount for the
next eight months to 350,000,00o lire
(about $18.5Oo,ooo).
Russia Exhausts Credits.
The original idea was for the amount
of Italian goods sold in Russia to be
increased to 5000, 900 lire the second
year of the treaty and to 500. 000, 900
the third year, but Russia, under the
impetus of its five-year plan, had to
buy more than anticipated, resulting in
the credit established being exhausted
in the first eight months Of Nthe first
year.
The basis of the agreement Is that
each country gets from the other the
products she needs most. Russia gets
manufactured articles and Italy gets
raw materials. Russia sends Italy
wheat, petroleum products, lumber, coal
and furs Italy sends back electrical
machinery mine machinery, airplaneS,
automobiles, ball bearings.
Imports Essentials Only.
Russia imports essentials only, usually
centralizing her purchases at CONNER
cial Office here. but frequently sending
specialists on particular missions.
Under the old agreement a certain
percentage of the credits was allocated
to specific categories of goods. Under
the expanded agreement no restriction
as to quantity of any goods Is men
toned
The progress Of the Russian oil in
dustry under the old agreement was in
dicated by the fact that Russia sup
piled Italy with one -fourth of her gas
oline, two-fifths of her kerosene and
three fifths of her fuel oil.
