Mrs. RemIey to Recover the Bodies
of Her Husband and Miller.

Information las been received from
Hermosillo to the effect that early this
week Governor Corral offered to Mrs.
Remley, wife of one of the victims of
the Yaqui outbreak, a carriage and es-
cort to convey her to Il point near
Bicam for the purpose of recovering the
body of her husband Miss Remley,
Of Missouri. sister OF deceased, has ad
vised the widow to accept the offer; in
that event she will recover also the
body of Andy Miller who was killed
with Remley.
General Lorenzo Torres has also
wired Governor Corral that he has re-
covered the bodies, and that he is ready
to give them escort TO the nearest rail
road station as soon as he receives in-
structions as to the desires of the laga-
tees. 1T is probable that Mrs. Remley
will go to Bicam and accompany the
bodies TO either Ortiz or Guaymas,
whence they will be transferred to Her
mOsillo for interment.
George Wanless, travelling ore buyer
for the Kansas City Consolidated
Smelling and Refining company arrived
in the city Monday night from the in
terror and confirmed previous dispatch
es to the effect that the disaffected In
dians number only Il few hundred and
that they are under absolute control of
Generals Luis and Lorenzo Torres on
the reservation. He does not believe
that the Indians can do any further
damage and expresses his confidence
in the ability of the commanders of the
army to completely control the rene
gades.
Information has been received from
Marshall P Wright to the effect that
he arrived safely at his La Providencia
mine, and that he docs not find that
the Indians are at all in arms in the
Ures district, or antagonistic to either
the MeXicans or Americans. Based on
the most reliable information obtain
able, the indications are that the wal
| is practically over; that is to say, the
army now in the field will be able to
control the situation to the extent that
| depredations will not extend beyond
the reservation.
General Lorenzo Torres has almost
recovered from the wound received
near Bicam and will in few days be
| able to assume command of his divi-
sion.
A dispatch was received at Torres
station from Gen. Luis Torres, early in

the Indians under control, and that Nc
danger exists in the prosecution of pros
pecting or mining work or agricultural
pursuits.

JOHN a. KRUSE IN NOGALES.
To Visit his Ranch and Placer
Grounds.

John A. Kruse, the Chicago million
aire who, with f. d. Wheeler and as
sociates owns 1000, 900 acres of grazing
and timber land in north eastern Sono-
ra, arrived Wednesday at the AIontezu-
ma With him came Il. A II. Watson,
of London and G. L. McIntyre, of Park
Hill. The last two with Albert Ripple,
left Thursday for Suaqui Grande, Sono-
ra, where they will install machinery to
test the placer ground in and near The
Yaqui river. The machinery to be used
is the same as is employed in testing
gravel in California. Pan tests that have
been made of the ground show rich re-
suits, and il the new machinery to be
used proves as successful then dredging g
machinery will be applied.
Mr.. Kruse, first visited Sonora in 1888.
He made survey Of eastern Sonora for
the Mexican government and during
the 1O-year's Iaqul war and the Apache
trouble was in the state q large portion
of the time. Speaking of the future of
Sonora Mr.. Kruse, said it is continuous
March of development. "The Moctezu-
ma Copper company" he said, ''owned
by the stock holders of the Copper
Queen company is doing the heaviest
development work in the state; and the
reduction plant under construction will
be equal to anything in. the United
States. Other great properties, - "he
said" are being developed in Mocte-
yuma, Arizpe and Ures districts, and
that no great time will be required to
make Sonora one of the heaviest gold
and copper producing districts on the
continent. He left Nogales Thursday
for Bisbee enroute to his great rach.
