Western of Sensational Pictures. A bill of unusually strong and at- tractive motion pictures was shown to large audiences at the Breed theater yesterday, and the many excellent sub- Jects” served to hold the attention of ihe spectators®to the close of the per- | formances. There is much western element in the bill for this week, and the very strong and thrilling picture entitled The Heart of a Cowboy calls for the heartlest commendation as to consist- ency of plot and accuracy of portrayal. The picture scenes taken in the west, and the nat- ural acting and magnificent horseman- ship add greatly to the already at- tractive picture story. One of the most exquisite character pictures is the beautiful Biograph story of the south, entitled The Honor of His Family, dealing with a family of proud south- erners during the civil war, the oldest son_being sent to the front in charge of Confederate forces, but {s overcome with fright in the midst of the battle and steals home ' where the gloating father, dismaye: and under cover of night carries the body to the battlefield and placing the | sword in his hand, leaves him to be found as having been Kkilled in action, leading his followers to the long hoped | for victory, thus having preserved the | family honor, but at an awful price.

The mineral wealth of Mexico finds exploitation in the annual statement of its minister of finance, Mr. Limantour. Most noteworthy is the increase in the production of gold, which may bring to that country some consolation for the depreciation in the price of silver. Until 1891 the year’s output of gold never exceeded $2,000000, and not un- til 1895-6 did it exceed $10,000,000. Since then the production of gold has risen rapidly, until during the past fiscal vear it passed the mark of $45,000,000. Taken in connection with the increased production of gold in the United States these statistics are of interest to those who seek the underlying cause of high- er cost of living. Mr. Limantour is not sanguine as to the future value of the white metal He dwells especially upon a new factor in the world’s output, the Dominion of Canada, a source of supply that has served to offset other influences that, | in his opinion, have been conducive to | rising quotations for silver. The report will be of interest to investors in Mex- | ican silver mines. The depreciation of ned. | that metal has not checked its pro- A | duction, since the output in 1908-9 was 5 - Lug. st' i the heaviest in weight in the recorded | Room s o ntral Building. history of Mexico, although its value | feb2d was less than in the preceding year.
