William (lylca repoits lor Joseph Ualugan. 1 Since the- conquest of the country by the Spaniards, Mexico litis been known nlmoHt exclusively as a producer of sil ver, and It is only during the lust ueo ntle that the signal decline in the price of the white metal has caused the pros ecution of gold mining on o lurtre scale. Tho precious mctuls, however, consti tute but a small part of Mexico's min eral resource, and the recent opening of a large plunt of Monterey Is an indication that vigorous efforts will now be made to prollt by the vast de posits of coal and Iron. Many Inter esting facts relating to the subject will bo found collected In the last number of Engineering. As lately as a quarter of a century ngo the belief was current among geologists that there wore no coal measures of great Importance In Mex ico. In 1SS1, however, the existence of anthracite was reported from several widely scattered districts, and the specimens forwarded to the capital caused the appointment of commis sions to make a systematic survey of all the promising localities In the re public. At Barranca In Sonora an thracite beds containing up to 90 per cent of fixed carbon were discovered, and found to be extensive enough to revolutionize the whole of the north western section of tho commonwealth. The same mineral was encountered at other places in the same state, as well as numerous points in the states of Mlchoncan, Vera Cruz, Guerrero, Pue bla and others. It seems that the late Mr. C. P. Huntington bought some mines In Coahulla, which are now' yielding 300,000 tons or more annually. Quito recently at Peldras Negras, In the last mentioned state, a deposit of coal having continuous, powerful and compact seams was met with, and, after twelve trial shafts had been sunk, ii French engineer computed that 9, 000,000 tons of high grade coal were In sight. It has been calculated by the engineer Knmlrez that In the one state of Coahulla there Is a carboniferous region covering nearly live thousand square miles. The coal measures of Sonora are estimated at seven thous-1 'and square miles. At San Marclnl a six-foot seam was found at a depth of no more than seventeen feet, and this seam, containing coal "great In quan tity and excellent in quality," has been folowcd for a distance of ten miles. Three other veins have been traced one of them as much as twenty feet thick and containing fuel said by test to equal tho finest Leigh Valley pro duct. Without enumerating other localities In which conl has been met with, we may say with confidence that enough Is known to justify an early and careful examination of Mexico's coal deposits by American experts. Fortunately for the future develop ment of Mexican industries, Iron and coal are found in close juxtaposition. Xear I.imontla in Puebla, for Instance, are Tepevco and Moreno, where specu lar nnd hematite iron of excellent quality is encountered in unmeasured quantities. In Durango Is the Cerro del Mercado, or Hill of Iron a solid mass of mineral 640 feet high, averag ing about 70 per cent of metal, and capable of yielding over 300,000,000 tons of solid Iron.' It is asserted on good authority thati if Durango were brought in direct communication with the United States, a company working this mountain of iron could export Its products at prices that might almost defy competition. Iron deposits only less rich than those of Durango are found at Nochltslan and Zlmatian In Aaxaca, the first named being in prox imity to coal at TIaxlaco. Seml-Annual Dividend. At a special meeting of thn board of directors of tho Pennsylvania Rail road company today, a semi-annual dividend of !I per cent, was declared, payable an nnd ntter May 31i to the stockholders of record May C. This Is the first dividend of 3 per cent, flat declared since November, 1S92, and Is payable on the capital stock of ?"0I,-37-1,850. Last November, the directors de clared a dividend of 2i per cent, ami an extra dividend of 1 per cent, upon a capital stock of $202,003,200. In May and In November 1892 a 3 per cent, dividend was declared, but after that year was reduced one-half per cent., excepting In November, 1900. nnd November, 1901, when extra divi dends of 1 per cent, were declared. This and That. P. B. Smith, superintendent of din ing car service, Lackawanna railroad, was in the city yesterday. The high speed nlr-brakc system will, in all probability, be introduced on the Lackawanna railroad in a few weeks. Special Officer P. P. Spellman, of the Delaware and Hudson passenger sta tion, resumed his duties yesterday, after a few days' Illness. The Lackawanna railroad trainmen appeared In their new spring uniforms yesterday. They were made by Joseph P. Webber, of New York. f P. J. Langan, superintendent of tho air-brake svstem on the Lackawanna railroad, has been in Pittsburg this week, attending a convention of air brake officials. The American Locomotive company has orders for fifteen eight-wheel pas senger engines and ten ten-wheel freight engines to be built at the Cliff works In this city. The Vulcan Crucible Steel company, of Pittsburg, that recently built a (cru cible steel plant at Allqulppa, Pa., Is drawing plans for a rolling mill nnd open-hearth furnace to be added to the works. The concern now manufactures crucible tool steel. General Freight and Passenger Agent J. C. Anderson, General Manager J. E. Childs and General Surjerlntendent E. Canfleld, of the New York, Ontario and Western railroad, who are making their annual tour of inspection, spent Wednesday night In the city, and left yesterday morning. Jones & Laughllns, Limited, of Pitts burg, will soon have the Talbot open hearth furnace at the South Side mills ready. It Is expected that this furnace will start early in May nnd will turn out about 300 tons of steel per day. Should the steel prove satisfactory Jones & Laughllns will probably install a second Talbot furnace. At a recent meeting the Liege Geo logical society discussed the question of recent discoveries of coal in the district known as La Campine, situated In the province of Antwerp. The existence of coal beds In Northern Flanders has for some time past been a matter of prac tical certainty; and expert opinion now inclines to the belief that there is an extensive coal-field In this part of Bel glum which connects those of Yorkshire with the Westphallan deposits.

Price New Lawn Baby Caps Hard to tell you what they look like. They're as fresh and sweet as spring blossoms. All sorts of tucking and clusters of cords form the body of the caps, ruches of lace or footing trim the edge and make a frame for the little face.'

Costs no more than the old styles. The great objection .to Baby Caps (that they can not be laundered) has been overcome by the "Elite" Parent Washable Cap. This cap is so simple in con struction that by loosening the bows and shirring strings it can be flattened out for home washing and ironing, and as easily put back into the shape of a perfect, well-fitting cap.
