YAQUI GOLD FIELDS.
First Reliable Information Thercfrom.-
 Their Richness Undoubted.

Monday evening Captain T. c. Cox from California, returned from the Bonancito region, in the Yaqui coun- try where he went to examine the newly discovered placer fields, of which considerable mention has been made of late, but no accurate ln- formation has been forthcoming The gentleman went to examine only the property included within a cer- tain concession, and pass iudgmeat on no other portion of the region visited; but he is profuse In praise of the property he exported. He says that the ground is very rich and win pay handsomely to work. A con- cession covering about l50 acres of land, the very pick of the entire ground, had been secured, and Cap tain Cox's mission was to examine that in the interest of a syndicate which will take advantage of the op- portunity and work on an extensive scale.
 As soon as the treaty Of peace be- tween the Yaqui Indians and the Mexican government was signed at Ortiz, in May last, Mir F. E. Chlsem went immediately into the region, took his pick on the ground and se- cured the concession During twenty five years he had known of the value Of the region, but never before could it be prospected The ' aquis were an

Chisem had sue ceeded in heading of all competitors and had obtained absolute title from the Mexican government to the new El Dorado, MT. Gowan of the firm immediately proceeded to Guaymas and succeeded in obtaining a bond on the property, the result of which is the forming Of powerful syndicate of capital to handle the proposition They enlisted men of heavy capital residing in Phoenix, San Francisco and the east, and Captain Cox, an eminent expert from California was sent to examine and report.
 "El BonancitOn is a rolling valley, about thirty-fye by sixty miles in area, and the locality therein visited by Captain Cox is only thirty five miles from Ortiz station, on the Sonora railway. The road from the station is good, being almost level the entire distance, but one small canon to pass through and only two or three low hills to overcome.
 The formation is decomposed granite, the gold is coarse and heavy, and all the water necessary for operation is easily procurable.
 Captain Cox states that in the re- zion are many very valuable quartz edges upon some of which develop ment work has already commenced he ledges are wide and the ore is Tree milling gold rock, very rich.

 Mir. Sresovich comments as fol- lows:
 "There is no such disease in Sonora. When l was east last year l saw some wormy oranges from central Mexico, and it surprises me greatly that MT. Wiggins should have assumed the ignorance he must have had when he wrote the letter which drew forth the above quotation
 Mir. Sresovich asserts that the effort of MT. Wiggin was apparently to cast discredit upon the Sonora sweet oranges, and he further asserts that the worm pest has already secured a Judgement in southern California.

 Bisbee Tyre: Ex-Governor Grant, of the Denver Smelling company came in from the San Miguelito mines in Mexico yesterday, where he has has been with ex-Governor Thornton of New Mexico, negotiating with the San Miguelito mines It Is under stood that these gentlemen have com- pleted the deal with which they will become the owners of these valuable mines though the price paid is not yet known, but is thought to be way up in the thousands. These mines are about ninety miles from Bisbee and l5 miles from Nacosari. Bisbee will be the point from which to ob- tain supplies for the mines until the Nacosari railroad is built. MT. Thornton remained at the mines while Mr. Grant has gone to Denver on business connected herewith.

Sufficient money has already been subscribed to build and equip the road, and the track will be in place within month after the franchise is granted. The first track will be laid to and around the Univer- sity grounds, thus accommodating the professors and attendants there, as well as those who contemplate building in that vicinity.

THE BoWsER BILL.

A bill has been introduced
by Senator Bowser requiring
all state institutions to give
Texas products the preference,
other things being equal, and
it will doubtless become a law.
The policy formerly pursued
by the state-thoughtlessly of
course-has been a very dis
couraging one for home man
ufacturers. In many instances
they were not even given a
chance to bid, although prepar
ed in every way to supply the
best of goods at the lowest
prices. Indeed, the advertise
ments for bids tor supplies spe
cited foreign brands, giving the
Texas manufacturer no oppor
tunity in a contest for the sale
of goods for using Institutions
which he himself was taxed to
support
The Sandwich called atten
ton to this outrageous discrim
ination more than three years
ago, printing extracts from ad
vertisements by the managers
of state Institutions, where
prices were wanted only on
outside brands of baking pow
ders, soap, etc.
The factories of Texas don't
want any bonus from the state,
don't want higher prices, and
are not expecting to palm off
inferior goods, but when they
furnish goods in every way
equal to the outside article.
they feel that they ought to be
given preference by their own
state and in this they areright.
1t is but Justice and we believe
our law makers will see it that

should supply the deficiency.
The sure returns which will re-
ward such protection in a few
years, by the growth of the fish

than compensate the state for
this expenditure.
