This road will open up the Yno,ul Illver valley to agricultural development and enable the development of many rich mining fields. That section of Honora bounds In gold, sliver, copper, lead, and other minerals, The southerly branch of the new railroad will run from Cocorlt to Al amos, at which point the old Houthern Pacific concession will be utilised This concession guarantees the pay ment of 112.500 Mexican per klilomet er of completed rond. From Ahirnos the rond will run through tho State of Blnnloa, the Territory of Teplc, and tho Htate of Jnllsco to Oundnlajara, a rich nnd historic community which promises to become one of the great cities of the American continent. In the course of Its menndcrlngs the rnllrond will touch Cullncnn, tho cap ital of Hlnnloii; Mnxatlan, the principal ienport on tho Mexican Pacific coast; Teplc, the capital of that territory of that nnme: Hun Marcos, Rosnrlo, nnd other' Ruining cei:crH, Running- b tween tidewater and the Sierras, thl railroad will develop tho richest ag ricultural nnd mining regions of Wes tern Mexico, nnd afford nn outlet through the ports of Maxatlan nnd Qunymns, for tho produce of fields and nilnoc. About 120 kilometers of this rond have been completed, and 100 kllomet ers are In operation, being the stretch between fJuuymiis and f ocorlL iracg inviiio- Is Kiting on rapidly. A stenmer Is now on the way from Shanghai for Ounymns with 500 hundred Chinese laborer. Mexico Interpose no on- j. ctbm to the lrnortntlon of contrnct labor, nnd bus no Chinese exclusion laws. Tho laborers now employed In rnllrond construction arc Mexican, la- iul Indian, and Chlncne with Amer ican bosses and superintendent. Th end of the enrth appear to hnve been drown upon for material for this rond. Purchasing Agent War ner a elean-cut nnd remarkably able young rnllrond man told me at Tus- snn that he was Importing a million ties from Morornn, Japan, landing ik.m in l.ntches nt Ouaymas. He could not get iwtlsfactory promises of concerns, so he made contracts at Dus selUrf, Oermnny; Androssan, Scot land and Ullboa, Spain. Steamers are now on the way from those distant h conveying cargoes of heavy stool rails. The culverts of tho new rond are being made of cement, im ported from Antwerp. The bridges will be constructed of steel, furnished bf tin- Amerlcun rhge Ootmpnny.1 Naturally, the drowsy little port of Ouaymns has begun to nit up and take notice as ships of many flags ap pear In the harbor, loaded with men nnd material for the new railroad Hermoslllo, too, Is awakening since nil the official business Is transacted bore, nnd mining enterprises of pith nnd moment are centering here, Al- nmos.

It is now understood that friendship bus ceased between these powerful Interests, nnd that each Is straining every nerve to capture the west coast business. Railroading and mining together nre opening Sonora to civilization. Mi ning Hum far has accomplished more than the other agent of enterprise. Some of the Inlnlng- enterprises In this state nre conducted on a Kreat scale, notably those at Cnnnnen nnd Nacozarl. The Cananen Consolidated Copper Company, commonly known ns the Cananea or fireene. company, em ploys 5.000 men nnd supports a town of 2fi,000 people of whom nbout three tenths nre Americans nnd the balance Mexicans. This enterprise was star ted In 1898. The district Is now re cognized ns one of the richest copper fields in the world. Tho plant con sists of nn Immense smelter nnd re finery, railroad facilities, and all ac cessories, the total Investment being about $15,000,000. On the Sonora Rallrot.d Col, Greene is opening two olher biff properties, the Mlna Grande and Soted.id groups. Ho Is active also in railroad building, and Is regarded, all nround, as the Cecil Rhodes of Sonora. The Interests of Phelps, Dodg;e & Co. in Sonora are very large. This com pany, whose plant at Douglass Is ad mired by nil mining men, owns the Naeoznrl, in this state. The rond 1s being extended southward, opening up a rich mining nnd farming region. At Nacozarl the Phelps-Dodge Com pany has n large smelter nnd supports a town of 4,000 people. Some of the ore Is sent to the Douglas smelter, where nil the Copper Queen ore from Mlsbee is reduced. The Douglus-Na- (oxarl road was built by the Copper Queen Company, and Is a part of the K Paso and Houtliveiijlern sys.tem, which, with thn El Paso and North western, Is controlled by Phelps, Dodge & Co. This company has expended millions In opening up copper mines In Arizona und Honorn, and has re cently engaged In coal mining In Col fax County, In Northern New Mexico, on an extensive scale, The establishment of a smelter at Ouaymas, by tho Mexican-American Smelting and Refining Company, has given nn Impetus to mining all along the Honora railway. This smelter cost $350,000. One of the big gold fields of Honora Is owned and operated by John W. antes and his asMoclates at Mlnan Prletas. The Mlnas Prletas and La Colorado mines are supposed to be e normously rich. The corporation. Is close, and no stock Is floating about Mlnas Prletns lies thirteen miles east of Torres station, on the Sonora rail road. It Is said that the little railroad connecting these places has made its owner a millionaire. Another Important gold camp is that dominated by the Glroux Mining Corn There the mines known as La Sul tana and El Capote have been turning out yellow metal for years. The Sul tana Is down 1,100 feet, and Is the deepest mine In Sonora. The San Juan Batista, group, near tho old "mineral" of San Juan, Is now being developed. These are "antl guas," or old mines worked In the eighteenth centuary by the Jesuits. The silver ground out In the ancient arrastras, ruins of which are still to be seen, was taken to the City of Mex ico on muleback, an Interminable Jour ney. San Juan Bautlsta was in old times the capital of Sonora, a region whjch Wretched almost to Cajiadai The mission church, a beautiful spec imen of ecclesiastical architecture of tho Bpalnlsh order, stands In a part ly ruined state. The San Juan mines yield silver, copper, and gold, and are being developed under direction (t George F. Woodward, of Montezuma, who discovered them. Interesting re ferences to the rich San Juan mines are made In books dealing with the history of Mexico In the eighteenth century. Near the San Juan proper ties, at Cumpas, the Transvaal Cop per Company has erected a large smel ter, and Is developing adjacent mines. Col. Epes Randolph, the right hand man of E. H. Harrlman In rail road operation and construction n Arizona and Sonora Is the principal owner of the Llano de Oro, as Implied hv Its nnme. Is a plain or valley yiel ding r.lacer gold In a conglomerate of cement and gravel. The mines are said to have yielded $600,000 In 1905. nre ooerated In Sonora. one of the big properties being La Bufa. east of the mine Is owned by Richardson Bros., who ship their product to El Paso and San Francisco for reduction. The Mlna Mexico, .near San Xavler, has yielded a fortune to the Ortega estate. The Trinidad In Sahuarlpa die ts a steady producer of silver. Mention Is made here only of im nor.tant mines and dK'.ntc.ts, whlclt would attract in any mining region In the world. Dozens of properties, large and small, nre now being devel oped nil through the State, on both sides of the Yaqul River. The great mineral belts which have raised Ari zona to the first grade are equally strone In Sonora, which Is geolog ically a twin of its northern neigh bor. The transformation of Sonora re sulting from these railroad and mining operations Is of Interest in a sociolog ical sense. The Jesuits and Domin icans hnve long since passed nway. The mission bells, which still hang In the ruined belfries, hnve not rung for decades. The Mexican population fringing the Sonora Railroad and oc cupying smnll ranches along the streams, Is face to face with the Amer ican Invasion. The scenes resulting from this commingling of the old and the new are sometimes grotesque. It Is not unusual, for instance, to see blanket Indians hanging nbout smel ters and mines, looking In blank a mazeinent upon the operation of elec trical machinery. Occasionally a band of Yaquls swoops down upon a party traveling In an automo bile, and the struggle between old and new takes a mighty practical tune as the bullets fly. The Mexlcnn people, as a rule, are glad to see Americans come In nnd de velop 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 Am ericans. Some of the better-class Mexicans are men of blgh standing nnd cultivation, such a man being General Luis E. Torres, for example, being a credit to his country and his race. He has had a long nnd arduous struggle with the Yaquis, and has dis played abilities of the highest order In his campaigns against these im placable natives. The Yaqul troubles hnve been greatly overrated on ac count of the ublpulty of the savages. They are comparatively few, but their ability to get over .the ground nnd bob up In unexpected places Is remarkable. With tho construction, of railroads their sphere of activity will be great ly circumscribed, and a few years more will see them permanently iso lated. At present in some out of the way mining districts, a guard is nec essary in traveling. WEAK, WEARY WOMEN. Learn the Cause of Daily Woes and End Them, When the back aches and throbs. When housework Is torture. When night brings no rest or sleep. When urinary disorders set In Women' lot Is a weary one. There is a way to escape thee woes. Doan's Kidney Pills cure such Ills. Mrs. Mary Dumgardner, of 424 Wa ter St., Balem, Ore, says: "I have found Doan's Kidney Pills a remedy that Is worthy of all confidence and am pleased to endorse them so that other aufferers from kidney complaint may know how to get relief.
