SOuOri'S Riches.

Ex-Governor Thornton, who has re.
turned home from his last Sonora trip,
says:
Il am very much pleased with Son.
ora and believe it is one of the richest
mining countries in the world. The
principal ores are gold, silver and cop
per, the richest silver mines being
found n the Sierra Madre mountains
and the mountains along the Sonora
and YaQui rivers, while the gold belt
IS farther west. and is continuation of
the gold belt of southern California
and western Arizona, extending south
easterly through the states of Sonora
and SinalOa. There are very extern
sive placer fields in many parts of these
states. The principal gold camps are
at Minas Prietas, in the Altar district
and as far east as the Arispe district,
where the Santa Rosalia mine is ship
ping ore averaging 81, 900 in gold per
ton.
Il spent over two and half months
in Sonora on my last trip, travelling
most of the time in q private convey
ance and have no hesitation in saying
it is the richest mineral country l have
ever seen. 1t is at present attracting
much attention from foreigners, espe-
cially from the Americans and En-
glish, while there are several French
and German exploration companies
maxim g large developments. Americans
are met everywhere working and hunt
ing for mining properties.
The sale Of the Sonora road to the
Southern Pacific is naturally attract
ting the CallfOrnians, and many of
them are inve sting. 1t is the general
impression that this road will be eX-
tended south through Sonora and Sim
aloa, and easterly into the Yaqui river
country.
"A good many New Mexicans are
permanently located there, and | am
glad to say that most of them are pros
porous, and have been successful in
their business enterprises.
The climate is much better than l
expected to find it, and up to the time
of leaving the weather had not been
unpleasantly warm, although the heat
as increasing very perceptibly, and

Speaking of the report tn at the own
ers of the mine had refused an offer of
IS, 600, 900 for it, Mr.. Twomey states to
Republican reporter that he does not
suppose they have ever been offered Il
cent. They have never entertained
an actual offer of any kind. They do
not wish to sell, and knows no man
with the Intention of buying the mine
has ever gone into it. It is unlikely,
he thinks. that an offer has been made
for any thing that could not be seen.
1t is the policy of the management to
admit no one. There is nothing to be
advertised, but crowds of visitors are
annoying and exhaustive of valuable
time. Mr.. Twomey says that q prOpo-
sition to purchase the mine would not
likely be considered. The receipts
from it are so extensive and steady
that the property is the more valuable
in the estimation of au eastern business
man who would not likely be attracted
from that sort of an investment by an
alluripg sum. The price paid for the
Pearce mine was S215, 200. The own
ers took that much out Of the mine in
just three months and ten days, beside
paying all the expense of doing it

Washington, Jan. 22.-The session
OF the senate developed three
distinct sensations. The most I'M
portant of these was the presentation
by Senator Sherman of letter from
Minister Rodriguez, representative Of
the Greater Republic of Central Amer
lea including Nicaragua), in effect
protesting against the execution Of the
Nicaraguan canal project by us under
the concession granted in 81 to the
Nicaraguan Canal company. As the
bill for this purpose was about TO be
voted on by the senate the appearance
of the letter created CONSERVATION
among its friends. Morgan, its chief
supporter, at once declared the letter
inspired by Great Britain who sought
to drive the United States from the
istmus by using the Central Americas
as catspaw. He asserted that Rode
riguez had come here to execute such
a plan and that ii was an open threat
against American control of the canal.
The debate was very earnest and ne
a
the senator's, Mr.. Villas declared that
it struck a death blow to the canal
Project as proposed by The pending
bill.
Earlier in the day the senate unex-
pectedly found itself discussing the
new Anglo-American treaty. All dis
cusson of it is restricted to executive

dilatory motion which disclosed the
absence of a quorum and Mr.. Morgan
was obliged to give up his plan for

speech against the bill. Mr.. Chandler
presented the credentials of John Ed

EDUCATION FOR FARMERs.

At the recent meeting of the State Board of Agriculture Professcr w Fl. Brewer. of Vale University read The Relation of the Experiment station and of the Schools t1 Ngricultmn,' y fn which he said the creation of the experiment station has changed somewhat the work of the schools. Farming is cansarva- tive, but farmers as a rule are not. Farming is not vocation which can be changed in day. It takes yeas to grow apple trees or breed 2. large flock of high-bred sheep. The first agricul- tura1 experiment station was started tWenty-two years ago il Connecticut, but it was many years before congress could be prevailed upon to take hold of the matter.
 Speaking of peach yellows, the speak CT said that if the matter was ever set tied to the satisfaction of tbH opponents of the peach yelloWs law it would be af- ter the experiment station had learned more than they now know about the disease Agricultural schools or col leges will not he successful simply be- cause they are agricultural colleges or schools, but because they are good schools Where there is no attempt at college education a boy may obtain valuable knowledge of the. science and art of agriculture. He believed that the tendency was towards a special class of farmers.
 In closing the speaker urged that the experiment station should become a matter of interest to the farmers and be visited, sustained and encouraged by them.

Five Rules of Conduct Given Out From

 State Prison.
 The leading article in the last issue of the Monthly Record. published at the Connecticut State prison, is by Convict N. IS H, and contains the following five rules of conduct, which the writer says he has always followed:
 "F'irst-If possible, be well and have a good appetite If these conditions are yours the battle of life is already half won. Many soul and heart troubles arise really in the stomach, though it may seem strange to you.
 "Second-Be busy. Fill the hours so full of usefulness and interesting work that there shall>be no time for dwelling on your troubles, that the day shall dawn full of expectation, the night fall full of repose.
 "Third-Forget yourself You never will be happy if your thoughts con- stantly dwell upon yourself, your own perfections, your own shortcomings, what people think of you, and so on.
 'FOurth-Expect little. Expect little of life, not too much of your friends.
 "Fifth-Trust in God. Believe that God is, that he really knows what is best for you; believe this truly, and the bitterness is gone from life"
