A gentleman Of this city sends to THE SUN tho
following extract from a letter written by Mr..
II. d. Slater from the Yaqui country, Mexico:
"CHIUCHUPA, Mexico, Dec. 2.
1--WE have just returned from a short trip into
the gold district. Ono days travel from this
place put us we'll over the edge of the region
that Is supposed by miners to be the best Of the
Countrywide lodges from which proceeds the
placer gold in the Yaqui and it's tributaries. 1
obtained some views in here that will be highly
interesting. One peak we climbed was nearly
5000 feet high, and within three hours we had
dropped nearly 1000 feet.
w went clear to the bed of the Rio Arras,
which Is only 5000 feet above the sea. There
we found great palm trees, and flowers In
bloom. There is sure to be considerable excite
ment in this country as soon as the truth Is
known. The region is incredibly rich in min.
erals. and there is room for thousands Of mines
within q comparatively small circle. OF course,
Just now most OF the prospecting Is for placer
gold. but men are hunting for the quartz lodges
In the mountains not twenty-five miles from
Chuicbupa, and silver, lead. and copper may
literally be picked up anywhere"

An Agreement Reached which Insures tho
Passage or the Aawley bill.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.-An agreement has
been reached between the leaders of the Senate
and the House which practically insures the
passage of the Hawley bill to increase the army
by two regiments Of artillery. At the beginning
of the session 1t was doubtful whether the
measure would meet with favor on account of
the expenditure required to carry the scheme
into effect. This objection also applied to the
bill to establish the three-battalion system In
the military service.
Senator Hawley, the father of the bill to in.
crease the artillery, gave notice Of his intention
to push tho measure to a vote, and expressed
the belief that 1t would pass. Mr.. Hull. tho
Chairman OF the House Committee on Military
Affairs. met this with the statement that tho
increase would not go through unless II was
coupled with his " pet scheme OF establish
ing the three battalion system.
This stand OF Mr.. Hull and the attitude Of tho
leaders, including Speaker Reed. have under
gone q change, and the ardent supporters of tho
increase confidently announce that there will be
no opposition Of consequence. Mr.. Hull will not
press the three battalion plan and will support
the increase.
Petitions OF numerous commercial bodies in
favor OF the increase have been largely in
ton Of the leaders. The two regiments are alb
solutely necessary to insure proper garrisons for
the many new Qualifications on the coDsts Of the
United States. and the spirit of patriotism
among tho economists has triumphed over their
qualms concerning the expenditures required.

RODE ON AN ATALANoHE.


COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Dec. 2o.--Joo Bradley,
a miner and prospeotor Of Cripple Creek, was
brought into this city yesterday In q critical
condition., the result Of riding on an avalanche
on Pixies Peak on last Friday. Bradley says
that a man whose name he did not know was
with him coming over the mountain from Grip
pie Creek to Colorado Springs. When near tho
summit OF the peak tho way became obscure,
and they climbed TO the top Of an eminence en-
deavoring to find tho trail. From this point.
Bradley describes the affair as follows:
The whole mountain side suddenly seemed
to give a lurch, and, at a terrific speed. move
downward. After what seemed to me an age
had elapsed was thrown against q stump and
rendered unconscious. When 1 regained my
senses l discovered. a short distance away. q
prospector's cabin. I could not walk, being SO
badly bruised and frozen, but, after a prayer
that might die, 1 dragged myself to the cabin,
where l was attended by the prospector. My
companion 1 did not see after the starting Of tho
avalanche, and he is surely lost"
SeachinG parties have underworld to find
Bradley's companion, but as yet the body has
not been recovered.

Fire Departments Gas bis Vow Much Larger
Than Ever Before.
Last summer a gas-metre testing company
made an offer to the Fire Commissioner to test
the metres used In the department to see IL they
were running correctly. The Commissioners
had an average monthly gas bill of about 81, 500
to pay. no they accepted the offer to test the
metres.
After a time the testing company reported
that they found many of the machines running
too fast. The Commissioners communicated the
discovery TO the gas companies interested. and
the latter proceeded to do some testing on thor
own account. They reported that they found
many of the machines running too slow.
Tho matter rested until yesterday. when the
department bookkeeper reported TO the Com
missioners that the gas bills sent in by two Of
the companies for the month of November were
"a and 25 per cent. respectively in excess of the
bills for the corresponding month last year.
"W.h.e-w T. calculated President sheffield.
THAT comes Of having the metres tested. 1
would be doubled"
"You know what advice Is offered about a
buzz saw" said Commissioner Sturgis. The
same amount Of Difference should apparently be
paid to a gas metre"
