There are many things I would like to say of Sonora, and what I have seen during my brief journey, but from the actual need of time I shall have to fore go. I desire to return thanks to Austin A. Pesquiro, head of the leading mer- cantile house of Hermosillo, Sen. Don Juan Moreno, proprietor of the stage line centering at Hermosillo, NIT. South erland of the American store at Altar, and last but not least, James Sherdy, former citizen of Tucson, for courtesies rendered. Americans who come this way should not fail to make their acquaint- ance. almost forgot to say, that the So called hotels of Sonora are simply abomi- nable and those that come this way should bring their beds and board with them, if they would eat and sleep. But in the matter of fare make two worthy excep- tions; the Palace at Altar, and Del Ferro Carril at Guaymas. have not seen bedstead in the State, and cots without mattrass, are considered luxuries. I will subscribe Coronado" no more believing that the readers of the CITIZEN have been sufficiently bored by your Sonora cor respondent

 TIE town of Harshaw IS not dead yet, although one of its citizens is now enjoy ing that defunct state. His name is said to have been Pepper. He was engaged as water carrier to some of the works above the town and is said to leave a wife and six children in Oakland, Cal. At the time of his death he, with some others had escorted a drunken woman to her room and left her, but returning shortly afterwards attempted to force an entrance, when he was, by the woman shot through the bowels. He died near noon on the day following. That same evening two of the legal fraternity punched each other with free good will and little later on one of the Judges kicked my dog and then I kicked him." One man killed, two judges with discolered optics and another judge with a sore head, and all within six hours. Nothing mean about Harshaw even f 1t IS little quiet.

Mir. $. c. Lewis has, for the past two months, been living in Sonora en- gagged in opening the Ramadita Mine, a property lately purchased by himself and others for S2jOO0. It is situated in the same range as the Minas Prietas, about eighteen miles east of Hermosillo, and about eight miles from the Sonora Railroad. The mine is a new one, hav- ing lately ben discovered and opened. The principal work done being a thirty foot shaft which opens up twelve foot vein of ore. the average yield being about S33 per ton. It is free milling and the convenience for working is said to be of the best, which allows the working of low grade ores at an advantageous profit. He is now employing about fifteen men, and on his return from here will take as many more with him. If the mine opens up according to the present indi- cations, reduction works will be at once erected and the mine put on q paying basis. All supplies are purchased in HermOsillo, and which, with the excep- ton of powder and clothing, can be had at most reasonable rates. The import duties on the latter are said to be about l33 cer cent, which makes such things necessarily high. But the merchants are gentlemanly and accompanying, and make every effort to supply all ex- isting needs, at the most reasonable fig ures possible. Mir. Lewis pays high trib- ute to the obliging and accommodating spirit of Governor Ortiz, who used his best efforts to advance the interests of his State, and to foster the mining enter prises now springing ID all over Sonora. And that no American who ever seeks an audiaEce with him, but what is re- ceived in a courteous and gentlemanly manner, and encouraged to proceed and develop whatever business they may be in or about to engage in. The Minas Prietas mine is working about sixty men, and it's last output of bullion for the month of January was about Si3,O00. The Sonora railroad is laid to near for ty miles this side of Hermosillo, and is progressing at the rate of one to one and a half miles per day.

GUAYAIAs. SONORA. February l.
 A few hours sleep, and arose much refreshed. After partaking of very poor breakfast I sallied forth to see what kind of a town I had come to, and was much pleased to find a town of consid- erable proportions, and comparatively we'll built, The houses are large and roomy, with a large inner court, where orange, date, or palm trees are growing and occasionally an oleander or a few Towering plants. Many of the best houses are built of brick, few are two stories high, but most of the buildings are but one story h,gh. Many of the streets are paved. and sidewalks laid on nearly all the streets. The population of Hermosillo is about lJOOO and the town has an air of thrift and prosperity.
 THE ORANGE GROVES
 After attending to some business, we obtained a hack and drove out to the principal orange orchards, which at this season of the year are loaded down with golden fruit. There are no very large orange groves at HermOsillo, but nearly all the farmers in the vicinity of the town have few trees and at present the supply is equal to the demand Sweet Hines, citrons and pomegranates are also raised, the natives prefering the sweet lime to the orange, but the lnexperi- enced taste of your correspondent did not relish them. The warmOchi, is beautiful shade tree very common here {; they grow to three feet in diameter with wide spreading branches, of from forty to sixty feet, they bear a fruit that Is much relished by the natives-a small apple about the size of crab-apple, of the north. The toronjas dulces, and lemOnes grandes, are marvels in their way; they are an over grown species of lemon, but l am of the impression they are more ornamental than useful, they grow from four to six inches in diameter, the former of an oblong and the latter of a round form.
 RESOURCES OF HERMOsILLO.
 There is not much mining going on in the vicinity of Hermosillo, it relies chief ly on agriculture for its support. The Sonora river runs by the town, affording sufficient water to ingate several hun dred square miles Of rich bottom lands, which produce two crops annually. Su- gar-cane, corn, tobacco, wheat, barley and vegetables do well. Being the capi- ital of the State it becomes the center of business for the entire State; the wealth and intelligence of Sonora is gathered here.

 ORDER PREVAILS.
 The police system of Hermoslllo IS good. Policemen are situated on almost every block, and their peculiarly doleful whistle is heard every half hour as an assurance that every man is at his post. or that all is well. These poor fellows, so was told, eke out life of poverty and starvation on three or four bits per day. There is a battalion of soldiers stationed here, and though otherwise well dressed, I observed that nearly all of the common soldiers wore sandels- This, supposed they are compelled to do, as their scanty pittanee of three bits a day, would not allow such an extrava- gance as shoes and the Government fur nishes none. Captains and Lieutenants get but two dollars per day. What would our well fed, sleek second Lieu tenants think of such an allowance as
 
 that? The soldiers here are from the far southern States of Mexico and are much darker than the people of Sonora. I took the half past six a. m- train
 FOR GUAYMAs
 which I reached at half past one p. m. making ninety-eight miles in seven hours. Guaymas is built up much the same as Hermosilla, though the general appear ence of the town is not so fresh and healthy looking, nor are the houses in such good repair On the contrary the town has rather dilapidated look, with the same unfinished church as all the rest. Guaymas possesses a good harbor and it is the chief sea port for the State of Sonora and may. in time, become a city of considerable importance. There are a number of extensive business houses here, and I am told that goods are somewhat cheaper here than in Her mosillO. The water is bad, at least it appears SO to stranger; it is brackish, and without ice, in the summer season, must be horrible. It is obtained from wells. However I was told that thIs would be remedied before long, by a company which has been organized to bring water in from . stream some nine miles distant. The population of Guay mas is about 6,0O0.
 FISH AND OYSTERS.
 Fish and oysters are plentiful here, and mine host"-Mr. Spay Amer ican) of the Hotel del Ferro Carril' was so kind as to furnish them every meal if desired. Your correspondent really enjoyed both. The oysters are small, but are of fine flavor. The fish are a k1nd white fish, and a perch sim liar to the rock cod of California. From my hotel could see the finny sinners jumping from the water in every direc- tion as the tide receded, and I regretted that my short stay would not permit of my trying my luck" with hook and line.
