The Lampazos Mines.

One of the lively mining camps in Sonora is at Lampazos, about POO miles in northeasterly direction from Her mosillo, between Oposura and Sahua- rlpa. They have number of large lodges, some of them twenty feet in width. The ores are silver bearing of great richness, mostly chloride in chemical composition. The two prin- cipal mines are the San Antonio and Nina Grande. Their present working shaft is now down about l50 feet deep, and they have let a contract to sink it deeper. At the depth now attained they have struck water, very desir- able commodity, and by going deeper they expect to realize an abundant supply. At another point work has begun on a new double compartment shaft, which is now down about eighty feet and will be continued until depth of 500 feet is reached. The ore is reduced by roller mill, there being two sets of Crumb rolls-one ten inch, the other twenty-three inch-and a set of Frazier x Chalmers rolls twen- ty-four inches in dimension. All are reported working ry'satisfactorrily. With an ample supply of water thirty eight tons of ore per day can be worked. Two roasters are in operation. The pulp goes from the rolls to the roast CTS, thence the teaching tubs, from which the chlorides go to air coni- pressors which extract the metal. The capacity of the teaching tubs, which is now thirty tons daily, will be en- larged to meet the capacity of the ma chinery, as soon as the water supply increases. The manager of the pro- perty is w. l.. Malone. Mir w. Perry is the accountant. MT. Dan D. Hough is assistant to the manager. Frank Parker is foreman in the mill. Pablo Rochin of HermosillO, is engineer. Carl Malone is assayer. s. c. Saylor, master mechanic, is now absent on leaNe, ana ms place IS nlleu Dy MT. Gamble from Prietas. Ed. Depew and J. Wistar run the teaching plant, al- ternating day and night. Judge Smith from DeHing, N. M., is manager of the store, and Frank Strunk is his as- sistant. c. Booze is foreman of the mine. Mrs. Carl Malone is with her husband, and Mrs. Lewis Malone also resides at Lampazos, but is at present visiting in the east. Judge Smiths daughter is recent arrival at the camp, and is very pleasant addition to the American social circle. Alto- gether it is very pleasant little CO., terie of Americans at rich camp in the heart of the Sierra Madres.

The Political situation-Fine Rains
Interest in "a Joint Discussion.

RALEIGH, ~ c., September i-tSpe-
cial)-The Populist State Central Com
mittee. OF five met here this morning,
Chairman Aver presiding Its chief bust
ness was 10 discuss the remarkable po-
litical situation, and TO decide on the
date for the meeting of the full STATE
Committee. Two or three Of the congress
slonal districts have not yet elected
their members Of the latter committee.
Ohio Wilson plainly shows the Popu-
list plan to nominate a candidate for
Congress in the Fifth District unless the
Democrats In the Fourth District will
take down Pou and endorse Strowd.
Josephus Daniels, national Democratic
committeeman for this State was asked
his estimate of the strength Of the gold
Democrats in this State. He replied
from 5000 to 10000. When asked how
many he thought would support the In
dianapolis ticket he replied $500.
FINE RAINS.
There were fine rains in this section
last night, which were beneficial and
needed. West and southwest Of here
many streams are very low, and wells
and springs are falling. On account OF
low water several cotton-mills have had
to shut down.
1t seems that the Republicans in the
Seventh District are about 10 turn against
Congressman Shufford, and will put up
w. A. Bailey. of Davie. for Congress,
unless the Popuiists make some deals
with them. Efforts are being made TO
force the Populists TO support Pearson
for Congress in the Ninth District. This
they have thus far declined TO do.
Rev. Or. Solomon Pool a widely-known
Methodist Episcopal preacher, and at
one time president Of the State Univer-
sty. was yesterday stricken with paraly-
sis at Elizabeth City. his home. His
condition is very critical.
