of perhaps 200. Heroin the U. B. tlio

Away back In 1880 thn first producer,
ho Plancha do Plata, on tho eastern
edgo of tbo silver belt proper, was dis

the Ilarreton de Plata, aud three years
later, by tho richest of them all, tho Flo
roucla. Thcso three mines wcro worked
In a desultory sort of way by tho owners
aud under lease, nud aystouiat'cally by
tho gambuslnos, or ore stealers. Count
ing only tho amount taken out In a
legitimate way, It Is estimated thai they
hiivo already produced between three
aud four millions of dollars. That the

of lead cathoitatcs. Having au limncnio

Mexicans Haw tho wagon pass with their

minded of tho jireeence of a smelter and
concentrator at Sablnal only when they
shut down temporarily for repairs.
On tho 4th of Juue, 1803, President
Dlax ofllxod his signature to tho new
