1t is desirable to locate in district
where labor is to be easily procured, and
1t is not difficult to find districts where
none is to be had. 1t is possible TO i'm
port labor to any district, but the ex-
pense CT doing 30 is often considerable,
and 1t ls not always esey to induce labor
ers to settle down at distances remote
from their native places. There are
plenty OF good coffee growing Districts
where labor is cheap and easily pro-
cured. The Mexican laborer, or peon,
as he ie called, is very curious being,
and requires careful handling. He is
inclined to be lazy for the simple reason
that his wants are few and eaeily cup
piled. II he has dollar in his pocket
be seems to have conscientious objections
to work until he has spent the last
"tlaco." He is. however, very sus-
ceptible to kind treatment and ia never
rough in his msnnere-but he must be
treated kindly ii much 10 expected OF
him. Patience is virtue which his
master must possess, or he will suffer
for the want of it when dealing with the
peon. On the other hand. in proportion
to the wages paid, the Mexican peon
will render an equivalent to that given
by the lsborers of any country. The
wages vary very much in different dis
tricts. In some places 25 cents per day
is sufficient In others so cents per day.
In Cordoba during the busy season he
sometimes gets as much sc 81 per day.
At Metlalloycan we pay from so to 62}a.
Official figures, however. show that the
average earnings of the Mexican laborer
is 81 cents per day. and from this it will
be seen that labor is wonderfully cheap.
Notwithstanding the fact that the peon
considers it nothing less than crime to
overwork.
Good coffee lands answering every re-
quirement can be bought now in Mex.
leo from So to $40 silver. but the tend
ency ia decidedly towards an early in
crease. The lands around Cordoba, Pal
apa and Aregoba have more than doubled
in value in the last four years. and sim
liar lands elsewhere have beyond doubt
also largely increased in value, and as
the demand for them increases their
price will continually rise.

Announcements
Peck's Bad Boy is the announcement
at the Burbank for the week commenc-
ing tomorrow. Everybody mas laughed
at the sketches which first appeared in
Peck's Sun and have since been copied
in all the leading papers of the country
and published in book form. They won
for the author tbs reputation of being
one of the best of American humorists,
and laid for him the foundation OF the
career which has brought him
fame and fortune and landed MIN in the
gubernatorial chair of Wisconsin. The
play il funnier by far than the sketches,
rs it leaves nothing to the imagination,
the humorous incidents being presented
directly to the eye and not described,
and the original dialogue preserved.
Kitty Kursale, the leading soubrette,
will appear as the Bad Boy, and George
P. Murphy, the favorite German come
dian. should make an unctuoua grocery
man. The entire company of Stewards
Comic Players will be in support and
this will positively be their last week.
New songs, dances and specislties will
be introduced, virtually making a
double performance. Peck's Bad Boy
be given the entire week with a matinee
on Saturday.
On Thursday morning, August 30th,
the sale OF seats will commence at the
box Office of the Les Angeles theater,
for the engagement Of the Charles Froh-
mans Stock company. This brilliant
company has just completed very sue

their entire company to this city, in
cluding such favorites IS Henry Miller,
w. H. Thompson. William Favershsm,
W. II. Crompton, Viola Allen, May
Robson, Isabel Irving and Genevieve
Reynolds. Their repertoire includes
Sowing the Wind, Liberty Hall. Gud-
geons and the Councillors Wife, ell
being notable New York successes. This
company ia the pet of Manager Froh.
man and enjoys the distinction of being
the hghest salsried company in New
York city. 1t is their fifth annual tour,
and 80 far has been their most success
fal one. There are bat few plsyer5 more
favorably known than Viola Allen and
Henry Milier's previous work here
speaks for itself. Manager Wyatt should
be congratulated for securing the thea
ter-going public such week OF genuine
pleasure. The opening performance is
September 3rd, presenting Sowing the
Wind.

This is positively the last week of
Miss Truly Shattuck. the beautiful con-
tralto, who has met with such success
the past two weeks. Owing 90 previous
arrangements her engagement at the
New Vienna Buffet cannot be prolonged,
which is much regretted by the patrons
ol this popular house. Tomorrow even
ing Mics Grace Drummond will make
her initial appearance in her acrobatic

the Berth family orchestra. The pro-
gramme will be an excellent one.

swung down, tearing the limbs from the
trunks.
