From 1.-The Diggings "

Will Julian is up from his placer
claim in the TepacLi country, and ex-
presses himself as pleased with the
outlook. He returns to work the claim
in q few days. He says the shooting
of that Me xican hunter was purely
accidental. The unfortunate man
caught his gun n the limb of a TIRE e,
when It was discharged, the bullet en-
tering his body over the heart ana
coming out at the thigh.
The young Englishman who was &C.
cused of shooting the Mexican was an
Ann Arbor graduate whose knowle6 ge
of Spanish was limited. and he became
badly scared on being arrested. Then
the court interpreters knowledge of
English was also limited, and between
the two the justice was given wrong
idea Of the matter. However, the
young fellow got off all right.
Mr. Julisn says he jumped nobody 9
claim, and this statement is borne out
by @. 81. Meicber just returned from
the gold fields in the Casas Grandes
country. Mr.. Melcher says Julian has
always acted fair and square with every
one as far as he has been able to learn.
Mr.. Julian does not dwell in the realms
of the Arahisn Nights in describing
his claim, but is satisfied that he can
get gold in paying quantities from it..
There is not enough water as yet with
in ten miles to work the slucing and
giant process; but the time will come,
he thinks, when the country will be so
developed as to warrant q big COM
pany's putting in plant to placer by
the acknowledgement process, as in Cali
forpia. There is considerable free gold
in that section, and prospectors are
going in there. Mr.. Melcher says he
will return in two weeks to develope
his claim, and says he failed to see any
destitute prospectors in the country.

Prosperous Sonora.

Morris Wrigh: is in town from Her
mOsillo, Sonora, where he reports the
most gratifying progress is being made,
especially in mining interests, He was
down HOO in the gr' at shaft OF the
Creston mine of the Prietas company
which has a fine vein of gold ore there
Welding SIS to the ton. Other minir g
properties are also doing remarkably
well, and while the drawback to Prize
las operations has bsen insufficient
water, this will shortly be remedied by
twenty miles pipe line from the
mounte ms which will give all the
water desired for effective mining.
A marked feature is being made OF
toe Boss and cyanide process. The
water from the latter If sill ked and
used over again, such care being neces-
sary to pr event cattle from getting at
1T. Skilled mining men with capital
from the United States are coming ain
to the state in noticeable numbers, New
York being particularly well repre-
ed. The railroads have received an i'm
mense impetus because of the general
prosperity of the state, and 80 many
are in progress of building or project
ed, that Sonora promises shortly to be-
come regular net work of rail-
roads.
Sonora, Mr.. Wright says, is the
orange country of North America.
F'rosts that annoy in California and
Florida never trouble IN Sonora, so
that the fruit can safely be grown iu
unlimited quantities. A big Baltimore
firm has heavily invested in oranges in
sonora, and is handling it with profit.
The Sonora orange is claimed 10 be
superior to the Jalisco fruit, and the
output is steadily increasing. The
tate is blessed in having governor
with modern ideas who likes Amer
leans, and can see and understand the
wealth they are bringing into Sonora.
He Is fully in sympathy with all OF the
improvements of the times; takes per-
sonal pleasure in, pushing electiric
light schemes, in new and improved
systems of municipal drainage, in
beautifying the public streets in new
and more desir able features 10 cOnstruc
ton of building; in the introduction
of agricultural, mining and other
machinery of the latest design, and
The establishment of new manu-
lie fabrics, artificial ice,
Deer. canning establishments,
tic. Mr.. Wright thought that before
long, HermOsillO would be one of the
most attractive cities in America.
The climate of the state is also gre 81
attraction. Flowers bloom there all
winter Ing, aud even in summer the
heat is not oppressive in the shade.
Mr.. Wright saw Wick Smith, brother
IF Editor j. A. Smith OF this paper,
md reported him as having made
mining purchase with Mr.. WILDER of
California from Mr.. Prickett, brother
of the Mexican Central conductor, that
is likely to prove highly profitable.

A Growing State

George Look who is often called to
chihuahua, says that the general bus
mess down there is better than it ever
was before. People don't seem to
know what hard times mean. So many
people are going to the city that house
are at premium and ten meats hard
to secure. Mr.. Look said he owned three
houses in Chi uahua, and people were
after him constantly to rer t the same.
The mining interests are booming,
and a great deal of mining in machin-
cry is going in there The West
Shore road contracts ar being let, and
in q few days grading will begin.
that t" ere is no doubt about the roads
being speedily pushed westward over
the range. AS to whether the West
81 ore ard the Sierra Madre roads
would work together or mere into the
corporation, Mr.. Look could not say,
but did not think it locked as t. ough
TT roads would be at all in antaeo-
MEM with each other with the same
general manager. Then the Pals oe no: ell
is being remodeled SO that it will be
a very convenient hostelry when finish
ed.
AS to the agricultural outlook, Mr..
Look said it was vast improve meut
over what it used to be. American
agricultural machinery has been S, Mt
into the state in large quaint les, so
that the native farmers have become
used to American methods and Amer
lean machinery. Ascarete at Casas
Grandes has . steam thresher, and
Mexicans have been bringing in their
grain from a long distance around to
be threshed. Reapers and self binders
are now becoming common. and as to
plows, the Mexicans have for the most
part abandoned the old ox-team me-
thods Of heir ancestors with the prong
plOwshare, and are now using horses
with Moline, Ills, plows of the latest
design. The governor is fully in SYM
patty with the rapid progress of the
state aud is lending as active and eff
fective hand to the improvements.

 St. John Herald: The house at '"The Cedars," the old headquarters Of Char Cattle company, was burned some time last week. The place has been unoccupied some time. MT. Sheppard recently sold the ranch to Jose Angel Chavez, of this place, and no one has lived there since MT. Cha veg has been the owner. The origin of the fire is unknown, but the strong presumption is that it was the result of carelessness in some camper, who had built fire in the house and then left without extinguishing it. The loss is about $500 with no insurance.
 Citizen: It is reported hereabouts that K. o. Stratton, chairman of the Live Stock Sanitary Board, has re- signed A Phoenix dispatch under date of January lst says: "E. o. Stratton has resigned his office as chairman of the Territorial Sanitary Commission, an action understood to have been founded upon his unsuccess- full prosecution of Charles w. Pugh, former secretary of the commission. No successor has been named by Gov. McCord." Of course this is big sur- prise to his many friends here and further information is looked for with considerable curiosity.
 Chicago Drovers' Journal: In buy ing stock cattle color nowadays cuts quite figure. Even down in Texas, where so many stock cattle have changed hands recently, buyers have been careful to pick out the deep reds and white faces, even paying a de- cided premium for them when they believed they could dispose of them at better advantage at market. The fact is they want them to show breed ing either toward the Hereford or Polled Angus class. Hornless stock cattle will outsell any other kind, quality being equal So stock cattle at the present time to be popular and In style must De hornless and show some aristocracy.

A CORN CARNIVAL.

Something over n year ago Mrs M. +.
Murphy of Decatur, Ill.,, was fired by the
idea OF showing the world, at least the
world of Illinois, what could be done
with corn. She wanted corn show, and
after she had talked it over with neigh
ors and friends, who approved, she read
paper on the subject at a meeting OF
the farmers institute for the 18th dis
trics. AS a result of her elcquence far
mer was appointed from every town
ship In Macon county to ahelp the .wom-
en- in getting up something worth
loekir at. Next the mayor and
Decasar's leading citizens caught the
spifit of the thing, and all together they
vo wed to get up the biggest thing OF the
kind ever known. Parades, balloon ass
cenaions, concerts, 30 bands were engag-
ed for the week beginning October rs ;

TIE FUTURE OF ALASKA.
rDAvID STARR JORDAN IN THE ALLAN.
TIC1.

Under the present conditions, when the
sea otter are destroyed, the fur seal herd
exLerminated, the native tribes starved to
death, the salmon rivers depopulated. the
timber cut, and the placer gol6 fields
worked our, Alaska Is to be thrown away
like sucked orange. There is no other
possible end, Ii we continue as we have
begun. We are ssnot in Alaska for our
health,'' and when we can no longer ex
plot iG, we may as well abandon iG.
But it may be argued that it will be
very costly thing TO foster all Alaska's
widespread res ources, and to give coco
government to all her scattered villages
and posts. Furthermore, all this outlay
is paid only by the enrichment OF pFi-
vste corlo ations, who, with the excep-
ton of the fur seal lessees. pay no trlb
ute to the government.
Doubtless this is true. Government
is costly thing, and its benefits are un-
equally distributed. But the cost would
be less If we should treat other resources
as we have treated the fur seal. To lease
the salmon rivers and to protect the
lessees In their rights would be TO insure
a steady and large income TO the govern
ment, with greater profit to the salmon
canine ries than comes with the present
confusion and Industrial war.
But, admitting all this, we should
count the co before accepting "col.
onies.'' It 10 too late to do so when the5
have been once annexed. Ii we cann01
afford to watch them, TO care for them
10 give them paternai rule when no Othel
Is possible, we do wrong to hoist our has
over them. Government by the peopl'
is the ideal to be reached In al our pOsses
sions, but there are races of men Twins
under our flag as yet incapable OF receiv
i ing the town-meeting idea. A race o
children must be treated as children,
race OF brigands as brigands, and what
ever authority controls either must hav
behind Ii the force Of arms.
