The Ola Guard.

The party composed of H. c. Drink. water and his two friends visited the Old Guard mine this morning. They went through the five levels and found the mine in first rate condition. They took samples of the ore from different points in the mine. aud came out through the Lucky Cuss workings. Those who have prospected the Old Guard mine, and the Herschel, which it adJoins, are of the opinion that the main body of ore which made the Herschel owners rich, is not the same ye n that has been worked on in the Old Guard. The Old Guard shaft runs on an incline and follows the ore, while the Herschel vein goes straight down without variation. There is no doubt but what the Herschel vein runs through the Old Guard, and it is believed that it still lies intact and never has been uncovered, but is vir- gin ground. If this should prove a fact the Od Guard will one day be- came one of our biggest producers.

ODD SCENES.
Peculiar Doings cf Our MsXican Neigh
 bOrS in the State Ol >0nOra.

The condition of the people of So- nora is anything but prosperous. Among the wealthier classes in the larger cities may be seen pleasant homes and comfortable surroundings. Among the poorer class, which con- stitutes 90 per cent of the population, there is evident destitution that calls forth the pity Of those who have read or poverty. but have never seen it before. The ides of stoves. tables and chairs is foreign to their existence. House built of cane, which grows in prcfusion in many places between Magdalena and Gusymas, is the gen. eral plan of architecture. In the cen- ter Of the room is circle of rocks, and fire Is built therein, and food cooked in the crldest of utensils, the smoke escaping through the many cracks in the roof and sides of the house. Pigs, chickens, goats, children and parents all eat at the same time out of the same dish. The grown folks are clad III rags hanging thinly around their bodies, but until reaching the age of F or l5 years, the children's wardrobe consists oi an abbreviated shirt or usually nothing.
 The Yaqui Indians are by far the more civilized of the lower classes that inhabi: Sonora. They work harder ana live better. Their labor is worth more and commands ten bits per day while the labor of the Mexican goes at eight bits.
 The most interesting sight to visit ors to Sonora is the manner of travel in cities and freighting in the country. Ore is hauled from the mines to the railroad stations in the primitive style of OK cart. The oxen on the pole pull their load with their horns the same as was the custom in Cali .ornia in early days. Ahead of the oxen is a team of small mules which are coupled to the horns of the oxen, making a novel iour-in-hand, and one that must be seen to be appreciated.
 In the cities the hackmen could give the New York rapid transit bureau, pointers in how 10 get along in the world in the shortest space of :ime- In Guaymas or Hermosillo there are more hacks to the number of inhabitants than in any other city in North America. Two bits is the price of a ride anywhere Tn the city. Upon entering the vehicle, which is built high from the ground, the driver, who is, without exception, a Mexican dressed in a white shirt and pants and immense sombrero, seizes the reins in one hand and cruel looking whip with the other, and with yell like an Apache, the outfit moves. The horses are little mustangs hitched together without any regard as to size O. speed and neither one of them knows how to trot. From the moment you are in motion the animals run as though going 10 fire. The reins, the whip, the driver and his voice are in con- stant motion. The horse nearest the driver gets all the punishment and pulls all the load. The other horse simply keeps up with the procession.
 A page might be filled with similar descriptions of the ways of the people Of Sonora, but no pen could describe plan of life that must have the aron a with it to make its conception real istic.

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

The attitude of the News upon one Of
the vital issues Of the day is questioned
by the Newport Enterprise, which says I:
"It occurs to us that we do not often
see in the columns Of our very much
esteemed contemporary the Providence
NEWS, aught condemnatory of the
liquor traffic, which it must admit to be
gigantic evil from every point of view !;
yet it finds words and space in which to
condemn Prohibition and its advocates,
the gravest charge against which and
whom, If we understand rightly, is that
of political inexpediency. Is it because.
in the estimation of our esteemed con-
temporary, SHINING against politics is of
graver import than against morals and
the we'll being of society?"
1t is because, in the opinion of the
NEWS, il is sin against common sense
to narrow life to the consideration of one
problem and then fail to consider that
practically. 1t is case of throwing
away everything for nothing. The News
looks upon the liquor traffic as gigan-
tic evil, curse to the land. But it is
far from thinking the rum trade the
only spectre that walks abroad. When
it considers the future of this
fair country it sees great,
powerfully organized and resolute
party waiting only the opportunity to
inaugurate measures that would lower
the workingman's wages and pay him his
pittance in debased coin. With Demo-
cratic House, precariously narrow Re-
publican majority in the Senate and a
Presidential election to be held in the
fall, it sees in the immediate perspective
such dangers from free trade and free
silver legislation as might easily double
the wrongs and the horrors of the drink
evil, to bring in no other consideration.
For has the Enterprise considered
that misfortune, want, encouragement
are potent to fill the saloons? Bring
about financial panic and you make
drunkards faster than in any other way.
Work for sane and sound business
methods, and you are working for intel
ligence, for education, for happy homes;
for these in the long run go with pros
perity, and these are strong force
against intemperance.
The temperance plank of the Repub-
ican platform adopted mt Minneapolis
says: "We sympathize with all wise and
legitimate efforts TO lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote
morality" The NEWS does not expect
this declaration to suit radical prohibi-
tionists. They will of course and as
usual call 1t "glittering generality"
II is, however, more clear and en-
phatic declaration than will be made mt
Chicago; and at the polls next Novem-
ber either Republicans or Democrats
must win.
The NEWS regards IL therefore as the
obvious duty of level headed and we'll
balanced citizens at the present juncture

ATTENTION was recently called to the
splendid prospects of reciprocity in in
Producing our corn into Germany as q
food product. The necessity for the
great increase in the mills for grinding
corn becomes at once apparent from the
figures now at hand. The Department
of Agriculture states that the amount of
American corn imported into Germany
during the first quarter of 1891 was L.
III, ,424 bushels, while during the first
quarter of 1892 the amount i'm
ported was 5,s47, ,s52 bushels. Here
is an increase Of 4,736,42S bushels.
In other words five times as much
American corn was sold to Germany
during the first three months of this
year as during the corresponding period
of last year. While all this increase
cannot be credited to Reciprocity be-
cause Germany's crops last year were not
SO large as usual and ours were enor-
nous, nevertheless it is evident that
most excellent work is being done
abroad by our representatives through
the assistance Of our Reciprocity laws.

REPUBLICAN WOMEN.

For the first time in the history of
politics Republican national conven-
tion has been addressed by a woman.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, who some weeks
ago organized the Rhode Island Re-
publican Women's Association and who
hopes to have similar organizations busy
this summer in every State of the
Union, spoke from the platform at Min
neapols upon the progress of her work
and its uses. She was most cordially
received and the formation of women's
clubs will be taken in hand by the
State leagues in every section with
heartiness and promptitude.
The women who have associated
themselves with the work are guaran-
tee of its representative character.
Mrs. Mckinley, wife of the gallant
major, acted as chairman during the
meetings held in Minneapolis, and Mrs.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Miss Helen New,
daughter Of Harrison's able lieuten-
ant; Mrs. Lew Wallace, Mrs. Van
Rensselaer, Cruger, the author and So
ciety leader Mrs. T. B. Reed, Mrs. j.
Sloat Fassett, Miss Boutelle, daughter
of the Maine representative Mrs. Alger
and others were in constant attendance.
The women are not going to be count
ed out this summer. They will help
win Republican victories.

Friday last was notable for two
things-the denomination of President
Harrison and the closing of a contract
between a land company of Grant
county, Indiana, and E. Morehead &
Co. of Wales, which will result in the
establishment in Indiana of the largest
tin plate mills in the world. The plant,
it is announced, will require the invest
ment of over 81 200, 900. and will, when
under full headway, give employment
to 1900 persons. The indianapolis
Journal calls this the first toot of the
tin horn for the campaign, and it is at
once appropriate and inspiring that the
lusty notes should sound from Indiana.
An interesting fact to which Demo
cratic attention is called is the state
ment that prominent tin plate dealer
of Indianapolis, G.. G.. Tanner, who is
an active Democrat, has been chiefly in
strumental in determining the location
of this manufacturing plant in Indiana.
Mr.. Tanner, while on a visit abroad,
called at the Morewood tin-plate works
in Wales, and discoursed on the advan-
tages offered manufacturers under the
tariff, and the further advantages of a
natural gas fuel.
Mr.. Tanner is very quick to see the
practical business advantages of the
tariff in spite of his politics. He should
enter into some agreement with the tin
plate liars to keep his lips closed except
when abroad.
