YAQUI GOLD EXAGGERATED.
River Placers Not Rich Enough to Pay
for Planning.

Unite1 ST ates Weather Observer II.
81. Curley, of San Antonio, has re-
turned from a visit to the state of
Sonora, Mexico, made for the purpose
of investigating the reports of the
Yaqui gold regions. He said to a COR
respondent:
"The reports of the richness of the
Yaqui country have been greatly ex-
aggerated. There is, no doubt, some
small quantities that il would not pay
to pan it. 1 became acquainted with
n umber of mining men at HermOsillo
and Guaymas, among them being the
members Of ths firm of Miles, Koering
q Sharpe, mining engineers at Her.
mosillo. They have been located at
Hermosillo for four or five years, and
are thoroughly posted on the mineral
resources of the Yaqui district. They
have no confidence in the Yaqui coun-
try, and discredit all rep >rts of rich
strikes. There are gold quartz. silver
aud copper mines in the state of
too far from water and the railroads to
be made to pay. Mr.. Sharpe and
9th rs informed me that there are
many mines in that state tn t were
worked land abandoned by the Span
iards The reason of their aba nion-
ment was not on account OF the plnt S
being worked out, but because the
ancients could not treat gold ore vail
ued at less than $50 per ton, and cop
per ore at less than 35 per cent, and as
these values were only found in small
streaks in the large veins they quit as
soon as the rich veins played out.
Some of these mines are now being
worked with modern machinery and
pay large dividends.
Good mining property can be pur-
chased 10 different parts of the state,
but it takes capital and machinery to
work them. 1 met q party of six who
had just returned from the Yaqui
river Thev had been prospe citing for
three nor this, and were all poorer
financially ttan when they left the
Uoited States. They did lot find any
paying placer mines. The quartz
mines they found could not be develop
ed without great expense. There ave
now many men in Sonora from the
United States who are trying to make
enough money to carry them back to
their homes. I advise any enc con-
plating going to the Yaqui to stay
away, unless be has plenty of money to
buy and develop mines already dis
covered"

HAITI CAVES IN.
German Warships Compel Compliance to
Germany's Demands.

Port Au Prince. Dec. 1T is under
stood that the question of the indem-
nifty demanded by Germany for the al
legged Illegal arrest and Imprisonment
of Herr Lenders has been settled to
the satisfaction of Germany. and that
all the demands of that country have
been agreed to by the government Of
Haiti in the face Of the display of
force made by Germany and under the
threat OF hombardment of the defensive
works Of the port unless these demands
Were agreed to within the eight hours
following the time the German uti-
matum was delivered yesterday morn
ing. shortly after the arrival at this
port of the two German cruisers sent
to back mp the demands of the Ger
man minister here.
The first part of the settlement took
place at o'clock last night when the
Haitlen fleet formally saluted the
German flag from the flagship of the
feet of the ship, the Crete a Pirate, IA
small vessel armed with a few guns
of light calibre.
Admiral Kilick, the Haitien COM
mander had charge of the formal sa-
lutte of the German flag. While the
flag of the republic was being dipped
on board the Crete a Pierreot, the band
of the Haitien navy played the Ger
man national anthem and the Haitien
flagship nred II guns, Which We're an
swered by the German flagship, the
Charlotte, which is used as "A school
ship.
The second part of the settlement
will take place this morning when
Count Schwerin, the German minister
to Haiti. win be formally and solemn
ly received by the Haitien president
The latter, 1t is understood, has as
sured the German authorities that
summary justice will be promptly
meted out to those officials of Haiti
who caused the estrangement between
the republic and Germany.
All citizens of German nationality
who had sought refuge on board the
steamers at this port have returned to
their residences, no further trouble be-
ing apprehended. The few French
citizens who sought refuge on board
the French steamer Vile de Marseille,
which was requistioned for that pur-
pose from Puerto Rico, have also gone
back to their homes and business.
Naturally there is a strong feeling
of resentment against the government
on account OF the humiliation inflicted
upon the country against Germany.
but 1t Is not thought anything more
serious than a ministerial crisis will
result.

Unless early action is taken in the

too late, as word has also been re-

formerly owner of the Vencedor which
was defeated in the races for the cup
during the summer OF 1895, that "a

be almost impossible to build a craft
that can compete with any possible
degree of success.
Correspondence will. however, be
begun at once between Captain
Berriman and the Toronto yachtsmen,
who have already declared that If a
challenge is received they will gladly
make any equitable terms and give
them proper concessions. If such race
can be arranged Commodore Berrman
will Immediately upon the acceptance
of the challenge, proceed to build the
