Some of them filled up on Solomonville booze and Sheriff Olney informed the capt. ain that there was law against carry ing weapons in town and that he would be obliged to disarm them.

The immense cattle drive of 2.O0O head ol cattle belonging to the Barba. cOmari Cattle Co.,, en route to Kansas Is now in progress. They left the range on the l1th and stopped at Will COX IL consists of 5OO COWS and l,50O slet rs; all of the latter being over two years old and in very fine condition. This immense herd is under the per sonal supervision of MT. w. c. Land assisted by twelve experienced vac queros. The cattle will be placed on pasture near Dodge City, Kansas.
 MT Land expects to make the drive in about 80 days and he thinks the cost will be not over $l.75 per head. which, compared with the railroad cost, which is from $4 to $5 per head will save the company some $5,5O0.
 At the end of the drive, the entire outfit of wagons, horses, mules, etc., will be sold and the party will return by rail.-StOckman

The ''Diggins.''

Tombstone stands show of being depopulated in the near future if the favorable news from the gold "diggins continues to come in.
 John Kelso is expected back in a few days and on his report depends the exodus of every idle man in town. There is no doubt but that there is plenty of gold there and it can be profitably worked. Tombstone would be the headquarters for those fitting out and all the money taken out will find its way into the pockets of our merchants.
 From MT. Hohstadt who has lived in Sonora for many years, the PRos' RECTOR learns that these diggings had been worked by Mexicans in 1S49. On both sides of the mountains are evi. dences of extensive work, but they did not get into the richest of the dirt.
 Quartz lodges of small size. but rich are found in the mountains. The high price of provisions is due to the fact that ranchers have all gone to the diggings and have planted no crops and the low prices which ruled all over Sonora last year, discouraged all the small farmers on the rivers. Flour at SIP per hundred is not confined to the diggings but at Fronteras and Bacuachi, the same price rules. Beans sell for ten cents per pound at these places and are hard to get at that price.
 There is no doubt but that the com ing summer will witness lively time at these new gold fields and Tombstone will feel the effect in a stimulation of trade.
 The water is the only obstacle at present, but its volume will decrease from now until the end of June.

Work in the Commercial Congress.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-. April 18.-In
the commercial congress yesterday the
unfinished programme was taken up,
the subject being Transportation and
Improvement OF Waterways. Lakes,
Cuffs and Pacific Ports
S. A. Thompson secretary of the
commercial club of Duluth, Mimi, ad-
vocated the Improvement of waterways
as affording the cheapest transporta-
ton.
Colonel Catchings of Mississippi
argued that the increase in the water
traffic however great. would not de-
crease the railroad business but it
would rather increase it.
j. Ii. Murphy of Iowa spoke on the
Hennepin canal. He explained in a
long speech the benefits which would
result from its construction and said
he had no doubt it would be built if
the government could be brought TO
see its Importance.
Colonel a. C.. Fisk of Denver de-
livered an address on "lrrigation.
1t was estimated that there are / 200, =
900 square miles of arid lands in the
western country that could be made
productive by irrigation. At the min
imum price of public lands. 81. % per
acre, this land has value of $500.
900, 600. At $50 per acre, a moderate
estimate OF value when irrigated, they
would be worth $40 200, 600, 900. II
these lands were properly provided
with water one could scarcely contem-
plate what an empire Of population
and wealth they would contain. 1t
was said the people OF the regions that
desire irrigation should provide it
themselves. Without agriculture the
lands would never be settled and there
wouiq be no people to provide irriga-
ton. The government should start
the work.
Mr. Wickliffe of New Orleans spoke
upon Immigration and Settlement of
Vacant Lands from an extract from
"America for Americans. lie had
been told, he said, that this land is
broad enough for all, but he submitted
that the old world has made it the
dumping ground for paupers and the
criminal classes, and he believed he
spoke for the whole American people
when he said the time has come when
it must stop. There is enough room
for all who want to come here and be
of use. but not foot of ground for
one OF those paupers and criminals OF
the old world. II may feel deeply
upon the subject added Wickliffe
but | have lately come from a most
terrible object lesson. which clearly
indicates the need of change of our
immigration laws" He argued for
vigorous action by the national con-
gress.
The majority report OF the commit
tee on resolutions made today, favors
free coinage OF silver and the issuance
of u sufficient amount OF legal tender

Cables Opinion of Gould.

CHICAGO April 21.-Thc attention
of President Cable, of the Rock Island
road, was called to what purported to
be an interview with jay Gould, tele-
eraphed from Denver. In this, Gould
while denying that he is seeking to
disrupt the Western Traffic association.
says such thing has entered his mind
but it would not be policy for him to
do So Referring to the fact that the
Santa Fe and Rock Island are pointed
out as great rivals of his, Gould is
quoted as saying: ''1t is bosh. Neither
one of those roads can make move
without consulting me-"
President Gable said the announce
ment that Gould had considered a
proposition to disrupt the Western
Traffic association would surprise no.
body in the railway world. Neither
would anyone question the reason
which he assigned for refraining from
it, Nobody questions his courage,
added President Gable, in attacking IA
contract when it interferes with his
interests He ought not assume, how
ever, that the managing officers OF
other railroads dare not make move
without consulting him. especially as
his attorneys are now defending suits
vigorously prosecuted by the Rock
Island and St. Paul in connection with
the Omaha bridge contract.
