SOKORA'S BOOM.
General Revival of Business Everywhere
 Noticeable.

haps more properly general revival of business-there is no mistake. It IS seen in the rush of mine operators and other capitalists into the State, the activ ity ID mining circles, the earnest con- compilation of different enterprises and the increased volume of money in circu- lauon. This is especially true of that section traversed by the Sonora railroad
 MT. (. 1. Pearson, train dispatcher Of the Sonora road, and who has had abun- dant opportunities for noting the Condi- ton of business, was ID the city the first of the week, and told the Herald that he had never known the State to be more prosperous than it is at present. He says big change is noticeable all along the railroad, and that the entire State, so far as is reasonably accessible, gives promise of prosperity.
 The railroad is not only doing good passenger business, but better freight | business than It has ever done.
 When asked to account for this i'm mense increase of business at this time of the year, Mir. Pearson sad that bet | ter class of men were going into the State-men of experience were taking hold of the mines as well as other i'm porlant industries. He cited the fact that all the big mines were now running such mines as the Santa Elena, San Ri cSrdo Minas Prietas, Trinidad and oth- CTS, and that all of them were now more or less in charge of men who understand their business and that bullion instead of trouble ana law suits was being pro dnced
 James Farrell will Tn few days begin active work on the railroad he intends to build from point at or near Imuris to his mines, the CerrO Banco group, a dis tame of about nine miles. Two schoon- CTS loaded with lumber for the road ar rived at Guaymas last Sunday, and ship with several hundred tons of rails is now on the way, having passed the port of Galveston some days ago The road will be narrow gauge, and will be operated 7hiefy for the hauling of ore from the mine to the mill.
 P. B. Chisem, of Guaymas, and other capitalists are contemplating the erection of large smelter at Carbo. They are at present confe-ring with the Mexican government relative to concession, and they propose to put up works with a ca pacity for handling sixty tons of ore per day. Those who know MT. Chisem know him to be man of nerve and en- ergy, and just the man to make a success of su"h an enterprise as he and his asso- ciates contemplate.
 MT. Pearson thinks the famous Mag dalena valley is destined in few years to beCome one of the greatest wheat producing sections in the southwest. Each year farming is done on more intelligent and successful plan, and each year he product has increased with corresponding decrease in the amount of labor Two years of good crops have made wonderful change in that section and the Touring mills, most of which are now provided with the latest modem machinery, have been kept running con stantly, and the business IS profitable A new and fine large mill is now being put up by Mr. Azcona, about mile and half south of Magdalena, and it Is to be fitted with the latest improved ma chinery. The railroad company has put in spur at the site of the mill.
 A mine is now being opened up-or rather put in shape-twelve miles from Carbo which MT. Pearson thinks will prove one of the best and richest in the State. It is one recently sold by Harry Chenoweth and associates to an Eastern company, which sent one of it's members, MT. MCPherson, here to take charge of the mine. Mir. McPherson is a man of good sense and wide experience in min ing and is developing the mine in fine shape and with the promise of immense production.
 The San Ricardo is still strictly reli- able and steadily produces large quanti- ties of bullion, shipments being made regularly every few days .-Nogales Her
