NOT A roon MANS COUNTRY.

Reports are going out about the Yaqui guld region which are deceptive in their nature and which, if not cor rected, will cause much disappOint- ment. In fact a number have already gone into Sonora on the faith that all they had to do was to find the laqui river and go tO washing out gold at once with pans, rockers and long toms as was done in early days in California.
 That rich . old diegings have al- ready been found in the Yaqui region there Is nc doubt; and development and intelligent effort will demon strate that the field is of no mean extent. But it is a field in which capital and experience age required to work. The mining ground has first to be secured from the government, which is of itself no small item of ex- pense. In Mexico one cannot go out, take up one or mere claims and hold them indefinitely by filing record of the claims taken, paying a small fee and doing little mythical work. Instead the claim has to be de nouncedr at the mining office Of the district which requires quite a fee, surveyed by an engineer who charges likewise heavy fee, and when his survey is accepted and title granted the claimant has to pay ten dollars for every 'pertenencia" of ground t. A pertenencia is an area measuring 100 meters on each side. And this payment of ten dollars per pertenen- cia has to be made annually there after or the claim is forfeited. Then the pacers so far as discovered are not to be worked with pan or rocker, as were the early California mines. Rather are they hydranlicking or sluicing propositions in which large bodies of gold bearing earth have to be moved by the force of heavy volumes of water, to develop, conduct and handle which need the co-opera- tion of associated capital. It takes money and lots of 1t Go sluice 0r hy- drauiic away bank Gf earth t.s..'se,s' se,s';t;; 7 | to forty feet in depth to get at the gold on the bed rock. Such expenses ! go far to make 1t DTacJicaiiy imDOs- sible for a poor man to embark in placer mining in Mexico; and those who think that with their prospecting pan or rocker, with few weeks sup ply of provisions, they can wash out fortunes are doomed to bitter disap- pointment and had better stay away. Men with means who can embark in large projects can tiud splendid op- p0rtunlties for investment in the
 Yaqui gold fields; but all others will find them disappointment.
 Already a number, attracted by the brilliant tales sent out by Correspon- dent Smalley and one or two more. have gone into Sonora, and have turned back, cursing those whose fabulous tales had brought them SC far

TIE rush of prospectors and in- vestors into Sonora is something re- markable, and it has but just begun; all the hotels are crowded with Ame- ricans, and bOarders have to await their turns at the tables which have to Oe set three or four times each meal to accommodate all who come.

PASSING CONFEDERATE MONEY.

The secret service officials have arrested
two men in Iowa on the charge OF passing
confederate money.
Ordinarily the secret service could do
nothing with case Of this kind, as con-
federate money cannot be regarded as n
counterfeit of government money. The
men arrested, however, tinted the backs OF
the confederate bills green. and Judge Num-
ger held that this was with the intention
CT deceiving. The men passed hundreds of
dollars in 50 and so confederate bills on
farmers throughout Iowa. They went all
through the state buying small quantities
CT potatoes, passing the bills and getting
good money as change.

The reciprocity negotiations between the
United States and Germany are practically
suspended. They never got beyond the
initial stage. There appears to have been
o willingness en- the part Of both govern
ments to lock into the subject, but the
inquiry did not develop any prospects Of
material concessions on either side. 1t was
thought that the arrival of the new Ger
man ambassador, DIR. Won Holleben, would
give an Impetus TO the negotiations and
perhaps result in the conclusion of a treaty
with Germ any: but, the contrary the
subject has lapsed and neither government
is showing any anxiety to urge the matter
to a conclusion. The reciprocity negotia-
tions with Great Britain to the British

From first to last those forces continued
entirely neutral. Their written orders In

attitude to prevent the queens forces from

that the United States forces were quar-

forts to obtain other quarters. 1t was
afterward alleged that an attack upon the
provisional forces would necessitate firing
also upon the United States troops. This

risk pulling the outer yoke out of line
by fastening the rest of the skirt to 1t.
A skirt thus planned can he worn by
a really stout person and allow them
the full and sweeping lines of wide
skirt at the hem, while their hips are
not in the least widened. To such
women this sort of skirt offers rare
advantage, while to a slender woman
the style is all the more becoming.
A modification of this idea is shown
in the accompanying picture, and car.
ries the mentioned recommendations
to the full degree. The material was
gray satin, covered with cream lace.the
seam Of the yoke being covered with
a ruching Of white silk muslin. Three
similar ruches trimmed the lace near
the hem, but on the bodice, which was
also lace covered gray satin, the ruch.
ings ran from shoulder to belt. a
chiffon jabot concealed the fastening
three chiffon ruf1les relieved the plain
ness of the sleeves, and the wide belt
was cerise satin.
Skirts shirred onto the edge of a DO
bodice thus outlines the figure from
just below the bust line to just abov,
the hips, the skirt falling very full
from there. Thus the wide hips, a.
present rather favored by fancifully
fashionable women, are secured and the
contrasting small waist demanded il,
emphasized.
Russet colored rubbers have already
been made for children, but not unit
this season has there been demand TO,
them for adult wear. They are made
most carefully, and are so light thai
when once on they are hardly felt. L
is suggested craftily that the polish O.
the rubber is much more easily
maintained than that of the russell sho,
and that many summer girls may FIND
the excuse for dampness serve for tn,
almost constant wear of these easil,
cared for foot coverings. The rubbe,
matches 80 exactly the shade of tn,
russell shoe that the fact of a rubbe
being worn is hardly to be noticed.
