Great Railroads Pierce Country. BY IRA E. BENNETT. HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mexico, Nov. 3. (Special Correspondence.) Remarkable forces are at work In this remote and sparsely settled Mexican state. The stu dent of civilization will find here an ab sorbing field of study, for here he will find civilization in the making. Inis is one of the last of the old frontiers, and the admixture of Mexican and Indian population adds color to the drama as it unfolds. Lpon the crumbling ruins of the old Spanish occupation and the totter ing Mexican succession -s being built a new modern community, full of oddities and Incongruities. Like most of the Western communities which are now reckoned as civilized, So nora begins by attracting attention to her mineral wealth. Miners are the real pioneers. They go where farmers and traders fear to tread. Miners the Pioneers. Sonora has always had a fascination for the old Callfornians who have gone up and down the world seeking gold. Many of them carry tattered maps In their pack showing Just where rich old bonanzas are. Some of them have realized the dream of years by actually penetrattng the Sonoran wilds and locating an "an tlgua." These locations have led to other explorations, covering a dozen years or so, resulting In discoveries which have at tracted the attention of capitalists In the East and In England. Thus there have been built up such big camps at Cananea. Nacozarl, Minus Prietas and others. The development of mines has led to the opening of ranches, and cattle ranges on a large scale. A packing plant will be established at Cananea, which will handle native meats. This plant will find a ready market for its product, as the duty upon American meat products Is very high. , Old "Jerkwater" Railroad. For years the only railroad In Sonora was the line running from Nogales to Guaymas. Locally and In Arizona this road is known as "The Burro. It was renowned all along the Pacific Coast as the finest sample of a jerkwater railroad In the world. The fireman and engineer often found themseives shy of firewood, and it was tneir custom to get out and cut a lot at the head of a grade, and then, after steaming up, to rush pell-mell down the grade, in the wild hope that Providence and momentum would lift them tip the hill, again. Usually mey were disappointed. It is said that 'burros were' employed occasionally to haul the engine to the top bf the grade, while the conductor played monte with the passen gers and the engineer took a nap. The trip from Nogales to Guaymas. a matter of less than S00 miles, was entirely prob lematical as to the time of departure, and questionable as to the time of arrival. Now this Jerkwater road is becoming part of an enormous line stretching from British Columbia to the City of Mexico. A struggle between E. H. Harriman and the Mexican Central for the rich coast trade of Mexico has developed, and the somnolent valleys of Sonora are resound ing with the activities of railroad build ing. The Yaqui Is being pushed back into the fastnesses of the Sierra Madre. and he will never reappear again. Among the Indians and Mexicans have appeared gangs of pig-tailed Chinese, armed with picks and shovels, digging and smoothing the path of civilization. Harrlman's New Railroad. The operations of the Harriman Inter ests In Northwestern Mexico are on a great scale. The headquarters of the work are at Tucson, but there are branch headquarters here and at Guaymas and Alamos. The official name of the new railroad is the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific. About J50.000.000 has been appro priated for the work already outlined. th. fnaA hoe-in At Kmnalme. about nine kilometers northeast of Guaymas. on the Gulf of California, ana runs souineaai erly to the Yaqui River, near Cocorit, a distance of 70 miles. It then branches, one line running northward and the oth er southward. The north line runs from Cocorit through the Yaqui Valley, tap ping rich mining districts and connecting at the American border, near Douglas. Ariz., with the Harriman lines. 1 ills road will open up the Yaqui River Valley to agricultural development and enable the development of many rich mining fields. The southerly branch of the new rail road will run from Cocorit to Alamos. From Alamos the road will run through the State of SinaJoa. the Territory ot Tepic and the State of Jalisco to Guada lajara, a rich and historic community, which promises to become one of the great cities of the American continent. Is'o Chinese Exclusion. In the course of its meanderings the railroad will touch Culican, the capital of SInaloa; Mazatlan. the principal sea port on the Mexican Pacific Coast; Tepic, the capital of the territory of that name; San Marcos, Rosarlo and other mining centers. Running between tidewater and the Sierras, this railroad will develop the richest agricultural and mining regions of Western Mexico and afford an outlet through the ports of Mazatlan and Guay mas for the produce of fields and mines. About 120 kilometers of this road have been completed and 100 kilometers are in operation, being the -stretch between Guaymas and Cocorit. Track-laying is going on rapidly. A steamer is now on the way from Shanghai for Guaymas with 500 Chinese laborers. Mexico Inter pose no objection to the importation of contract labor and has no Chinese ex clusion laws. The laborers now em ployed In railroad construction are Mexi cans. Yaqui Indians and Chinese, with American bosses and superintendents. 'The ends of the earth appear to have been drawn upon for material for this road. Purchasing Agent Warner Is Im porting 1.000,000 ties from Murovan, Japan; steel rails from Dusseldorf. Germany; Ardrossan, Scotland and Bilboa, Spain, and cement from Antwerp. The bridges will be constructed of steel furnished by the American Bridge Compfliy. Naturally the drowsy little port of Guaymas has begun to sit up and take notice as ships of many flags appear in the harbor, loaded with men and ma terial for the new railroad. Hermosiilo, too. Is awakening, since all the official business Is transacted here, and mining enterprises of pith and moment are cen tering1 -here- Alamos, Cocorit and other Junctions promise to become thriving towns. The Mexican Central and the Southern Pacific are Raid to have shared Mexican business at El Paso, and it was reported Jas. Brltton, Cured of Rupture by C. E. Brooks. rich or poor, cart buy, and I absolutely guar antee it. I make it to your order send it to you you wear it, and if it doesn't satisfy you send it hack to me and I will refund your money. That is the fairest proposition ever made by a rupture specialist. The banks or any responsible citizen in Marshall will tell you that is the way I do business always ab eolutely on the sauare. Here W what Mr. Jtu. Brltton, a prominent manufacturer of Bethlehem, Pa., writes: "C. K. Brooks. Kq. Dear Sir: I have been rupturM six years and have always had trou ble with.it till T got your appliance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat and snup. and Is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fart at times I did not know I had It on. It Jut adapted I tee If to the shape of the body and clunjr to the. ftf-ot. no matter what position I was in. It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture, if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appli ance and wear it. They certainly would never regret it. My rupture is all healed up and. nothing ever did it but your appliance. J as. Brltton." If you have tried most everything" else, come to m. Where others fail is where I have my greatest success. Write me today and I will eend you my book on Rupture and its Cure, showing: my appliance and giving you prices and names of people who have tried it and been cured. It is instant relief when all others fall. Remember 1 une no salves, no har ness, no lies. Just a etraight business deal at a reasonable price. C. E. BROOKS, 2483 Brooks Building, Marshall, Mich, that a similar traffic arrangement was to be made upon the completion of the Harriman line to Guadalajara. The City of Mexico was to be reached from Guada lajara over the Mexican Central. But the Mexican central began to build a line of its own toward Manzanlllo, on' the Pacific. It is now understood that friend ship has ceased between these powerful interests and that each is straining every nerve to capture the west coast business. American Mining Enterprises. Railroading and mining together are opening Sonora to civilization. Mining thus far has accomplished more than the other agent of progress. Some of the mining enterprises in this state are con ducted on a great scale, notably those at Cananea and Nacozarl. The Cananea Consolidated Copper Company, commonly known as the Canarfea. or Greene, com pany, employs 5000 men and supports a town of 25.000 people. " of whom about three-tenths are Americans and the bal ance Mexicans. This enterprise was started in 1838. The district is now recog nized as one of the richest copper fields In the world. The plant consists of -an Immense smelter and refinery, railroad facilities, and all accessories, the total in vestment being about $15,000,000. On the Sonora Railroad Colonel Greene is opening two other big properties, the Mina Grande and Soledad groups. He is active also in railroad building, and Is regarded, all around, as the Cecil Rhodes of Sonora. The interests of Phelps, Dodge & Co. in Sonora are very large. This company, whose plant at Douglas Is admired by all mining men, owns the railroad running from Douglas to Nacozarl, In this state. The road is being extended southward, opening up a rich mining and farming region. At Nacozari the Phelps-Dodge Company has a large smelter and sup ports a town of 4000 people. This com pany has expended millions In opening Tricked by Dyspepsia The Doctor Couldn't iTell Where the Trouble Lay. "For the pust seven years I have been a victim of dyspepsia and chronic constipation and have consulted tne most noted specialists to be found on diseases of this character. None, how ever, seemed to locate the difficulty or give relief. In addition to this medical treatment, I have resorted to the use of many remedies and have given them faithful trial, but all to no purpose. ''Upon the recommendation of a close friend, I purchased a 63c package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and in less than five days noticed that I was receiving more benefit than from any remedy I had used before. I continued to use the tablets after each meal for one month and by that time my sto mach was in a healthy condition, cap able of digesting anything which my increasing appetite demanded. "I have not experienced any return of my former trouble, though three months have elapsed since taking; your remedy." We wish that you could see with your own eyes the countless other boua-flde signed letters from grateful men and women all over the land who had suffered years of agony with dys pepsia, tried every known remedy and consulted eminent specialists without result, until they gave Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets a trial. Like the doc tor above, they couldn't locate the seat of the trouble. Dyspepsia is a disease which has long baffled physicians. So difficult of location Is the disease that cure seems next to miraculous. There Is only one way to treat dyspepsia to supply the elements which nature has ordained to perform this function and to cause them to enter the digestive organs, supplying the fluids which they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets alone fill these requirements, as is shown by the fact that 40,300 physicians in the United. States and Canada unite in recommending- them to their patients for stomacn disorders. We do not claim or expect Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to cure anything but disordered conditions of the sto mach and other digestive organs, but this they never fail to do. They work upon the inner lining of the stomach and intestines, stimulate the gastric glands and aid in the secretion of Juices necessary to digestion. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for salo' by all druggists at 50 cents a box. One box will frequently effect a perfect cure. If in doubt and wish more adequate proof send us your name and address and we will gladly mail you a sample package free. F. A. Stuart Co., 61 Stuart Blda;.. Marshall.

One of the big gold fields of Sonora is owned and operated by John W. Gates and his associates at Minas Prietas and is supposed to be enorm ously rich. Ancient Jesuit Mine. Another important gold camp is that dominated by the Glroux Mining Com pany, 30 miles east of Carbo. The San Juan Batista group, near the old "mineral" of San Juan, is now being developed. These are "antlguas," or old mines, worked in the eighteenth century by the Jesuits. The silver ground out in the ancient arrastras, ruins of which are still to be seen, was taken tq the City of Mexico on muleback, an interminable journey. San Juan Batista was . In old times the capital of Sonora, a region which stretched almost to Canada. The mis sion church, a beautiful specimen of ecclesiastical architecture of theSpan ish order, stands in a partly ruined state. The San Juan mines yield sil ver, copper and gold, and are being de veloped under direction of George F. Woodward, of Montezuma, who redis covered them. Colonel F.pes Randolph, the right hand man of E. H. Harriman In rail road operation and construction in Arizona tind Sonora, is the principal owner of the Llano de Oro property, in Sonora, where a mill of 200 stamps is being installed. The Llano de Oro. m lmolled bv ila name. Is a slain or Leading Clothier valley yielding placer gold in a con glomerate of cdtaent and gravel. The mines are said to have yielded $600,000 in 1905. The transformation of Sonora, resulting from these railroad and mining opera tions, is of interest In a sociological sense. The Jesuits and Dominicans have long since passed away. The mission bells, which still hang in the ruined bel fries, have not rung for decades. The Mexican population, fringing the Sonora Railroad and occupying small ranches along the streams, is face to face with the American invasion. The scenes re sulting from this commingling of the old and the new are sometimes grotesque. It te not unuRual, for instance, to see blan ket Indians hanging about smelters and mines, looking in blank amazement upon the operation of electrical machinery. Oc casionally a band of Yaquis swoops down upon a party traveling In an automobile, and the struggle between old and new takes a mighty practical turn as the bul lets fly. The Mexican people, as a rule, are glad to see Americans come in and develop their country. They make fair laborers, and unless the lower classes are full of mescal, they are peaceable. The higher classes, comprising the officials, are very friendly to the Americans. Some of the better-class Mexicans are men of high character and cultivation, such a man as General Luis E. Torres, for example, being a credit to his country and his race. He has had a long and arduous struggle with the Yaquis, and has displayed abilities of the highest order in his campaigns against these Implacable natives. The Yaqui trou bles have been greatly, overrated on. ac Br w. count of the ubiquity of the savages. They are comparatively few, but their ability to get over the ground and bob up In unexpected places is remarkable. With the construction of railroads their sphere of activity will be greatly circumscribed, and a few years more will see them per manently Isolated. At present, in some out-of-the-way mining districts, a guard is necessary in traveling. ASKS TO TAKE UP FIGHT Standard Oil Charged With Trying to Work Government. CHICAGO, Nov. 10. (Special.) That the Government has been Incited by the Standard Oil Company to an attack upon the National Oil & Refining Company was charged by the company's attorney, D, W. Parker, of Chicago. The concern and its three subsidiary corporations are un der investigation by the postal authori ties on suspicion that their promoters have been making more roseate claims In their literature than they are Justified in sending through the malls. A startling development in the situa tion was the unexpected return to the city of Secretary Discus, of the company, from a recent hurried departure with its books and papers, which was considered suspicious by the Government investigat ors. Discus brought the books and placed them in Mr. Parker's hands. "When. we first struck oil, we found Lour .market limited,"- said Mr. Parker i. J 9 llM : m:;v Cv- mi .tif : d I C.

Occasionally the Standard would fight us, and my fellow officers suspect it of drying to Incite the Government to take up the fight against us."
