The Indians in Sonora, who work in a
crude way in the local gold placers,
only operating when 10 pressing need
of money, get large returns for very
little labor, and an explorer who has
recently been through the remotest

gold producer. The fact that it is re-
mote, and the hostility of the Yaqui
Indians have combined to keep white
prospectors out of the placer regions
of Sonora.
