THE YAQUI GOLD FIELDS.
A Country Rich in Minerals But
 undeveloped.

Sonora seems Co be on the verge of a boom in its mineral districts. It seems to have just dawned upon the world that there is gold in the Yaqui coun- try. Way back to the days of the Montezuma this country began to un- load its wealth. It has kept it up ever since. Every one admits that the In dians are in possession of rich mines.
 The most important strikes in Sonora Are the great bodies of copper found north of Soyopa. The great copper belt which has given Arizona 90 many rich producers of copper seems to have bobbed up here. The belt extends for a long distance in Sonora and it has never been prospected to any extent. In fact barely any prospecting for cop per has ever been done by white men in this state. The Indians and Mexi- cans never look for copper. It is silver they want.
 The big placer strikes are still wrapped in mystery as far as the ground which yielded the gold is con cerned. It is impossible to find out anything definite in regard to them. It is not strange that men who are for tunate enough to find rich ground should guard it from encroachment, The Yaqui country covers a vast ex- psnse of territory. l do not pretend to have seen more than a very small part of it. saw enough, however, to give me some appreciation of its magnitude. What I have seen of it was not favorable for profitable placer mining by inexperienced persons. But in country with almost every canyon drained by the Ysqui carrying some gold it cannot be questioned that 1t has been concentrated in pockets Tn many places. Those fortunate enough to find pockets take out the gold and get out of the country without talking any more than is necessary. The ex- port duty on gold of something over 10 per cent may serve to solve the mys- tery which involves these strikes.
 J. P. Furling is the only man who actually saw the gold from the big strike of Sl42,0OO. He lives at La Colorado and owns the only news stand in the camp. Every one had heard of it. But Mir. Furling saw it in the sacks and examined it. The party came from Riverside, Cal. They took out this amount in 96 days. Mir. Fur ling enleavored to find out where it was found, but the prospectors refused to reveal their secret.-GEoRsE H. SMALLEY in the Phoenix Republican.

Lord Sall.bury on Free Trade.

Every now and then Lord Salisbury
says something to Indicate strongly that
he Is not entirely satisfied with the free
trade policy OF his own country. He has
just been delivering himself once more,
and part Of his speech is very significant,
While his Iordship does no, doubt that
free trade IL thc,bcst policy for England,
ne adds that making It fixed principle
IL very much like sending troops to at
tack fortress without guns"
The meaning Of this is made clear by
that which follows The British premier
adds: The knowledge that we would
never retaliate has disarmed us in Tight
lnG hostility in a way that no other ma
tion has been disarmed' Now We see
what his lordshlp Is driving at. Abso-
Lutte free trade declared "a a fixed princl-
pie takes away the basis for reciprocity
and loses very effective weapon Of re-
taIIatiOn.
AS Great Britain stands to-day she can
neither reclprocate nor retaliate, and
Lord Salisbury complains tina, all the
worlds know this Is true, Great Britain
might have much to gain by taritt con.
ccssion from a given country, but since
she has nothing to trade with she is in no
position 10 enter into reciprocity negotIa-
lions such as We entered into successful
~ under the Mckinley tariff act. Carry
.ng out the other idea. country. by re-
sorting to prohibltory tarIfr legislation,
may shut out British manufacturers and
Great Britain has no way to str1ks back
as we have.
Lord Salisbury's idea seems 10 BE- that
Great Britain has more to gain by nd-
herring to free trade as general policy.
but dIscardlng it as fixed principle. so
that upon occasion when her interests
would be served by IT she may put up
tariff bar by way Of retaliation. This
she cannot do. How she could accom-
plIsh anything In the way OF reciprocal
commercial treaties when all her bars are
down already. Is something to which his
lordship may have given a great deal Of
statssmanlIke attention. but about which
he vouchsafes no information to his
countrymen and the world.
Under our American system OF protec-
ton we have none Of these troubles. We
can retaliats and We can recIprocate. and
they are many thoughtful Englishulen
who think ours would be a much better
way even for their own country.

The failure to make any specific refer
ence 10 Cuba In The inaugural address Is
commented on In some quarters as un-
fortunate. on the contrary II was a very
happy conclusion Of the Presidents TO
leave Cuba out OF his message. He said
enough on the general subject Of for
eign policy to indicate the attitude OF the
administration towards all foreign ques-
tons. That attitude viii be American,
and this should satisfy all Americans.
No doub; the President thinks that acts
are better than words. He spoke gem
orally and left specific things TO be in
ferred from the courSe Of his adminls-
traitor. The first act of the admInistra-
ton In respect Of any foreign matter was
10 demand that an American newspaper
correspondent be released from the fail
in sancu spiritus and taken to Havana,
this demand being accompanied by a re-
quest for the correspondents release. Al
once the correspondent was released and
allowed to start for home. This is an
earnest Of good faith with the people. II
means that while William Mckinley is
President American citizenship will have
to be respected in foreign lands.
This attitude seems to he understood
by Spain. the only country with which
we have now any prospcc. OF complica-
zion. The questions Of Cuban bellIEer-
ency or OF Cuban Independence are diff.
fcrcnt matters and doubtless will be
taken up In time and dealt with from the
point Of view OF the best interests Of the
United States.

TIE STATE UN1vgRsIrY.


Some False Impressions Regarding the
Action Of the Legislature Corrected.
To the Editor Of the Imiclligeneer.
SIR:-The report has been widely cir
culated that the West Virginia leGIsIa-
turc. at its recent sesalon, abolished the
preparatory schools OF the university.
This is MOI true. No department Of
the university was interfered with. As
liberal appropriations were made for the
support aud development OF the univer-
si;y as for any OF the other state institu-
tons.
The idea Is also prevalent that paru"
san board OF regents was created This
is a mistake. The board Of regents will
continue 10 be- composed Of nine mem
bers--fivc Of one party and four OF the
other.
The university Is in nourlsiInE con-
ditior with the largest attendance In Its
history and will probably Tcach AS or
more FOR the year. Young mcu and
young women Of the state seeking an ed
ucatlon can make no mistake by coming
to the university to avail themselves OF
its splendid advantages.

A Nn,IonnI II.nkrnn, Law.

Year after year Congress has been ex.
pected to pass a national bankrupt law.
The measure known as the Torrey bill
has been improved from time to time. I'M
until now it is believed to represent the
very best thought on the subject and TO
be as good as measure can be made TO
cover the requirements OF the case.
The passage OF such measure Is de-
manded In the interest OF the honest man
who lies buried under burden OF debt
which he cannot shake on and which
prevents him from taking the part he
should take in the active business Of the
country. II Ia not less demanded in the
interests OF those who sell to retail deal
ers. who should have the best basis pos
slble for the credits they are asked to
give.
The bulk Of business is done on credit,
not Tor cash and none are more urgent
for the passage Of national bankrupt
law than those to whom the giving OF
credit Is a part OF their daily business,
This Torrey bill has been commended
and urged by commercial bodies the
country over. and Congress need not hes.
itate longer 10 enact II into law.

The governor of Oregon Is not conf
dent that his appointee will be seated In
the United States senate. but nc thinks
he may be on the ground that the Oregon
case Is no; covered by any OF the prece-
dents established in the senate in mat
tiers of this kind. The governors view Is
based In the main on the fac, that the
Legislature OF Oregon did not organize.
and therefore. he thinks 1t may be said
that there was no session OF the legtsla-
turP.
The governor speaks Of the Inability OF
the legislature to organize and thinks
this should help the cause Of his APP
po!ntee. 1t will hardly be held that the
legislature OF Oregon was unable to or
Eanize. It's members were present and
nobody obsiructed their organization.
They were unwilling to organize. At
least they could not get together" and
the time passed without organization.
II may be that the senate will take the
governors view. but there Is a very good
argumen; on the other side. and that
argument is very likely TO be presented
with strength.
