CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. ^.—Consider-
able zinc ore is now being shipped from

the United States market for these ores,
flue to placing a tariff on same, caused
for a time a shut down of most of the
zinc mints in this country. Gradually,
however, a market has been developed
abroad and the industry is assuming its
normal phase. The plans that were on
foot for the erection of two zinc smelters
in Northern Mexico were interrupted by
the disturbed political conditions, but
they may be taken up later.

in length, he sold $40 worth; also snap
beans, tomatoes and peppers. On July 20
he planted twelve rows of corn, several
rows of peas. Corn is now tassellng;
peas loaded. During tlie hot long drouth
he never stopped stirring the soil, and
had tomaties and peppers while his neigh-
bors' gardens were burnt to cinder. This
shows the value of dry farming when

armed, his left arm from an accident
was amputated at the shoulder, and has
no children to help in his farm work.
However, he is making farming a suc-
cess, over his two-armed fellow-farmers
who can live to learn.

nnd that t o Would return in a few days
to the capital city. "Respecting the po-
litical situation at present in this coun-
try," said Set.or Madero, "that is to say,
the matter of presidential candidates, I
think that the majority of the inhabi-
tants of the republic are for my brother
Francisco, as near as I have bf-n able
to observe on all sides; for the candidacy
of General Reyes has no following. I do
not think It possible that the Reyista fac-
tion will secure postponement of the elec
tion, which constitutes their only hope.
The people do rot. want men of the for-
mer dictatorship, and for that reason
cannot see any good in the works which
have been effected in his favor. Pi oof
positive of this Is the manifestation of
September 3, where It was possible to
unite only 500 followers of Reyes.
"As to the Cabinet which will work be-
rido my brother, if he is fleeted, it will
be the same a » now stands with Senor
de la Rarra, with the exception of those
who might wish to withdraw, and In
which case other men as competent will
bu named.
"My brother will support the Madero-
Pino Suarez ticket with all his energy.''
With this pen or Madero finished his In-
terview respecting the oolitical cltuatlon
in Mexico.
