DALLAS AND RETURN FOR sc.
An Opportunity for Everybody to See the
 Great state Fair.

Everything indicates that the com ing Texas State Fair will be the great est in the history Of the state. The attractions will be more extensive in variety and greater in magnetic power than in any previous year.
 To meet the general desire of resi- dents of the territory tributary to El Paso to visit Dallas at this time, the popular Texas X Pacific has put in the remarkably low rate of S5 from El Paso to Dallas and return, good only on Thursday October 6, and Thursday October l3, returning on the Monday following date of sale. This will give an opportunity of spending the entire day Saturday. at the fair and enjoy ing the sights of the city on Sunday.
 Tickets will also be on sale daily during the continuance of the fair at $2495 for the round trip. These tick cts will be placed on sale September 39, the final return limit being OctO- Der Is, thus allowing time for quite an extended visit with friends and relatives and in central and eastern Texas.
 For tickets or further information call on B. F. Darbyshire, N. IF El Paso street, El Paso, Texas.

MT. Wm. GOldie, direct rom the London office of the Mexican Gold X Silver Recovery Co.,, has been in- stalled in the Hermosillo office, to succeed Mir. Ernest Dubois, trans- ferred to the main office in the repu- blic, in the City of Mexico.
 The Sonora railway has this year broken the record in handling the immense crowds attending the Mag dalena fiesta, The crowd was esti- mated by well posted people as fully twenty five percent greater than ever before, and the railway travel ex- perienced a responding increase. It was handled by the road without a far or an accident. Which speaks volumes for the management of Man ager Nauge and Trainmaster Gibson.
 Last week Messrs. D. Mckay and I. Rosenthal, president and vice president respectively of El Urbabo Mining Co.,, visited their property, twelve miles northwest of Torres, coming from San Francisco with MT. George K. Beveridge, the manager, when that gentleman returned from his recent visit in California. That the gentlemen were we'll pleased with their property hardly expresses the situation. They found in the old workings of the property abundant evidences of it's richness. The former owners had worked the ledge from the grass roots down, and in numerous places specimens were found which had not been taken that assayed l,OOO ounces in silver per ton. The new shaft, sinking by Mir. Beyeridge, Is now down l80 feet, and at the depth of POO feet the ledge is to be cr0sscut, when, it is anticipated, the ore body will be shown up grandly, The prop erty is reached by good road, only twelve miles long from Torres sLa- tlOD, and the new extension or the Torres x Prietas railway will come within six miles of the camp. As soon as developments justify the track will be extended right into El Ur- habo. greatly facilitating the hand ling of supplies and machinery, and adding greatly to the business of the railway. The camp is beautifully To- cated, at an altitude of about l,200 feet, and so near the gulf that the climate is greatly tempered by the sea breeze. Its owners are very con- tident that they will soon have camp as great and important as Prietas.
