The report of the collector of rer
euue shows that 764,332 kilogram b of
tobacco per mouth wore used by the
various factories of Mexico, or a total
of 91,719,918 kilograms per annum. All
the tobacco except 1 000,000 kilograms

tories in Mexico,
It is estimated that 624,364,650 pack
ages of cigarettes were made during
the last year. There is on an average
14 cigarettes to a pack. This would
brig the total number of cigarettes man
ufactured in the 12 months to the stu
pendous total of 7,341,1115,100. These
cigarettes sell at frim five cents to 20
cents per pack. Thus it is estimated

BICH PROSPECT POUND
SHORT WAYS FROM ALMEDA
ADMEDA, Or., Dec. 22. Another
very rich prospect has been discovered
a short distance below Almeda. The
exact location of the find has not been
made public, but it is a very promising
pruspect.fi we are reliably informed. The
parties in interest will commence the
development of the property at once,
and before many months it is hoped
that it will be proven as of great magni
tude. Thero has been quite a number of
promising prospects found in the vi
cinity of Almeda and it is -nf idently
believed a wonderfully rich eamp will
finally be developed in this vicinity.
Tho average miner of this district has
great confidence in the permanence of
the rich ledges which have been uncov
ered. The rock which has been taken
out of a number of these places has,
been examined by experts and tho gen
eral opinion is that this section will
finally turn out to be the richest in the
state. It is the general opinion that
the whole district is rich and that there
is enough wealth in the hills to make
our Oregon the richest mining state in
the Union.
MEXICO'S CIGARETTE
BILL OVER 36 MILLIONS
MEXKO CITY, Mex., Dec. 22. If
the cigarettes smoked in Mexico dur
ing the lust 12 months were placed end
to end they would form a Btring which
would reach from the earth to tho moon
iiinl half way back again. In the same
manner they would make a belt which
would reaeh around the earth at the
equator nearly 10 times.
These RtatisticH are umbered from
the official report made by the tax
collector for the entire republic of Mex
ico. The figures are simply stupendous
and show that probably more cigarette
are smoked in Mexico than in any eoun-
BERNE, Dc. C2. In one district
of the Tyrol a custom prevails by which
a bridegroom pays the parents of the
bride a sum of money before the mar
riage eeremonoy takes place.
Recently a peasant in the village of
Kolked could not come to terms with
the parents of his sweetheart, so they
called upon tho mayor of the village
to decide on the purchase price. The
mayor, who is a cattle dealer valued
the young woman at so much per pound.
Her weight was found to be 160
pounds, and the bridegroom handed
over $60, apparently much pleased with
his bargain.

MUST WEAB CURLS NOW
TO BE IN FA8HI0N
LONDON, Dec. 22. Tho fashion of
the "Merry Widow" hat and its late
rival, the busby toque, has popularized
the enormous coiffures consisting of
masses of Grecian curls, and owing to
this it is said that the woman who
does not wear at least a few curls of
artificial hair is almost an exception.
The stimulus to the trade in human
hair comes from France, though Italy
also supplies much. Japan nnd China
export a great del nf hair to France,
but it is too coarse for the English
market.
The favorite shades of hair aro au
burn and blonde, the ligher hair reflect
ing the light nnd lending itself to more
elaborate dressing.
