The Outlook for Americans.

 ! The facts res -Ging mining iR Sono ! rg may be stated la few sentences. II | Is not claimed that Sonora Is au excep tIOnslly favorable field, now, for the enterprise of Americans. There are great possibilities ID the Sierra Madre regiOn. It's the one region siscent to 1 our territory which Is imperfectly ex' plOre1 where there is reason to believe great deposits Oi the precious metals exis'. To this belief the general chRrRe- ter Ot the country, the works of earlier generations, the exploratinus Of pros pectOrs ana some successful operGt ops now uL Hsy au contribute evidences.
 If the Sierra 3l1dres are u1ceyslOped, 1t IS sO much ;5r better for those ! ok ing for new fiei 'l. That they are unde- yelOped Is du, lag D ;o the incursioDs cf Indians from cGr own terfitUy Ihtse can be L.4.t with heGe less sue cts>iG!ly boCat "ur guyc-umvut ia:ls io de ai ucc' ,- .U-,s vItL il. l.. 90; lvl..-, mAk!BS our iL.-4-i Tt st TvB..p-s ,s f.-ct places Tor them tJ teo5ui', :ul .ia,ts frD Dm w.Ich Co E'taCk 5vu,rI Nsti0I- t! hoHuI teS ii.t- gE -s even q.

 The less sisgJteI iss:i -C.S n' Son a are full Ui mIues. SO tlr cAl; . few uf them have pTuv-D ia-gely piuiGe igr, but ve deuy that ihere |, 0S- f-.TSOu tD expect that fair reiurns may b. sscus d m lower Sonora. The cOua;ry ..Is been prcspecled very impeii ciiy and niLes have been worked under difficulties, con- sequent upon the fac; that means for reduction are lacking. These means will be forthcoming ID gCod season ID case further experience iustities their introdu tioD.
 The Santa Maria venture ought not to be quoted against Sonora. It was scarcely more legitimate than the dis- mOnd venture patronized by Ralston. The Lampasos district, SO far from hay ing proved failure, IS very promising. Underwood x Clark of Kansas City are preparing for large enterprise there. The Gayllan venture of Hesslng was i'll conceived of lsck for tiuxes for his smell ters. The silver was there in abundance. Los De.iciOs has been shut down lately on account of the proximity of Apsches. The Discubrsdora and CobreZs enter prise may or may not have been well handled.
 Among the successes of magnitude which have been achieved may be named the St. Augustine, MulallOs, Trinidad, PInOs Altos. Bsrucci, Promontario and Quintara. The Prietas mill IS running inil time, and there Is a large number of MexIca, owned properties which are constantly turning out bullion.
 We do not deny that the taxes O, the state and Federal governments are se- were. The duties and charges of one kind and another Dhich are imposed iI- rectly upon bullion amount tO about per cent. There are various features of the new mIuiac code that are oppres- sive. But the Nexicaas feel th sa things gs wei as ourscive-, aud it is possible that they msy introduce Tlore wisely conceived economy h. dcslmg with mines.
 The supply cf labor is cr0i; wHses are much lower than with Us ard tfauspOr- tstiOn i5 not unTeasOnahly high. In the main good order prevails here. One ku, Ws that he may be fallen upon and robbed fl travelling alono at night snd in possession oi bullion. Conditions in this respect are not different from what they have been at times in other mining dIstris.s.
 The disposition of the population to- ward ns IS s--.siaci"ry. The better classes want Us ,o come m and to pro mote the material interests of the conn try. They Rro c1n-ideraie to Americans who show themselves worthy Of cOnti- dence and respect.
