Fortune's GREAT Favorite.

Admiral Dewey has been almost too much

To Queu the Yaquis.

Austin. Texas. Aug. CA special re
ceived here to-day from TerraZas. Chi
huahua, Mexico, which is located near
the scene of the Yaqui upraising, is to
h effect that the Indians are arrang-
ing for II prolonged war. The special
says:
ut is going to take the Mexican gov
n long time and big force of
troops to quell the rebellion. The
Haquis are better prepared now than
eve before for Il long and n bloody
campaign. They are all well fixed
financially, nearly all of them having
saved the $500 per head which the
Mexican government paid them when
they signed the treaty of peace two
years ago. They have been making
money since then. too, and it is known
to he n fact hat they have been lay
ing in big supplies of arms and am
munition for some time past.
1T has been common talk among the
American prOspectors in the Yaqui
valley that the Indians were preparing
for another outbreak. but as the
braves had always shown a friendly
spirit towards the Americans, it was
thought they would moi modest them
when they did go on the warpath.
They are determined to recover all
of their lost country. however. and will
kill everybody they find within the
limits of their old possessions"
The special also reports that n MIN
her of miners and ranchers in and near
Cocori had bee slain and their proper

Santa fe and Southern Pacific Try the Ex-
pertinent on n Large Scale.
Denver, Aug. Petroleum will soon
supplant coal as fue on western rail-
roads. Contracts have just G closed
by the Atchison, Topeka Il Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific for large
quantities of petroleum to be used for
experimental purposes. On the South
ern Pacific in California oil is already
in use and has been found satisfactory.
G. W. Reynolds, who is one of the
heaviest stockholders in the Calumet
Oil Company, of Fresno county, Cali
fornia, is at the st. James. He is au-
thority for the statement that oil Will
soon be the fuel used by h railroads
of the West.
The officials of the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Rio Grande Western
are now investigating the claims made
for oil as fue on engines and the result
may be that the engines on these roads
Will be remodeled so that oil can be
used.
1t Is said that the saving would be
fully 80 per cent. The fact that such
large contracts have been closed by
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fee has
attracted attention of traffic men all
over the West. The purchase of the
Southern Pacific amounted to 10000
barrels outright and the Santa Fe has
contracted for LOO barrels daily to
be used on its line IA far east as
Tehachapi. California.
The Calumet OIL Company. in which
MI. Reynolds is interested, owns $50
acres of land in the new oil fields in
Fresno county. with large numbers of
producing wells already in operation.
The present production of the district
is placed at an everage of G0,o0O bar
rels n month and oil is now worth S1.25
per barrel.
Some of the biggest weels.'' said
Mr.. Reynolds. yield in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 barrels a day. This, you
will see, beats n gold mine. In June
the shipments amounted to 1000 bar
rels. The Fresno district is new, the
first discoveries being made there about
w years e California is thor
oughly interested in the development
of the fields and it is only n question
of time until not only the railroads, but
every large fnctOry will use the oil for
fuel. There is talk of organizing an
oil exchange in San Francisco. and this
will probably be accomplished in the
near future"
