Who Has Takes the Oath of Office as Gov-
 ernor of the Federal District.

Wednesday December 18th, Hon. Guillermo de Landa y Escandon, who for some weeks past has been acting governor of the federal district, sur. rendered the duties of that post into the hands of Hon. Ramon Corral, former governor of the state of So- nora.
 All the chief employees of the dis trict and the municipality having been gathered, in the room adjoining the governors private office, Messrs Landa and Corral entered together The former made a brief address in- troducing his successor and at the same time thanking all present for their cooperation during the time that he had held the reins of the dis trict government. and encouraging them to aid Mir. Corral in the same manner.
 MT. Corral spoke next. He said that he indeed hoped that all would follow the recommendation of Mir. Landa as he stood ir need of such cooperation, the more so in that he was stranger to that part of the country.

Strike of Rich silver Ore.

Word has been received in NOgales by T. c. Mills, general superintendent of the Promontorio Mining Co.,, that rich strike has been made at the company's mines. The mines are sit uated about thirty miles southwest of Nogales.
 The rich ore was encountered in the Henry tunnel few days since and samples which were assayed ran 1000 ounces in silver to the ton. The ledge when first discovered was in virgin ground and showed vein of ore eighteen inches wide, phenomeally rich in silver. The latest news re- ceived was to the effect that the ledge has widened tc two feet and is show ing up better ore as the development work goes on.
 The superintendents report of the strike states that the ledge is very strong aud well defined. The walls are lined with soft talk, which is one of the best indications in that dis trict and assures permanency.
 Experienced miners who have viewed samples of the ore which were sent into Nogales by special carrier, are unanimous in their opinion that the Promontorio people have surely struck it rich. They pronounce the samples as the richest specimens of silver ore that have been seen in this vicinity for good many years.
 T. c. Mills this morning, Dec. 29th, received returns from an assay of the ore made in Las Vegas, N. M, which places the ore as aggregating in sil- yer, gold and copper, 5000 to the ton.
 This strike means much for Mo- gales. This city is the natural dis tributing point for the mines and is hoped that large camp will spring up at Promontorio.

gulations. Called as collaborator with the Licenciate Eduardo CastafIeda, the two revised the penal code of the federal district, advocating it's adop- tion in Sonora, after making the nec- essary notifications to suit local con- ditions.
 When Corral was elected delegate to the federal congress he defended the agricultural interests of Sonora In the tribune as we'll as through the press by his celebrated "Flour Question. 1" The committee of the treasury had presented schedule exempting from the payment of duties foreign wheat imported into the states of Sinaloa and Lower California, which would have ruined the most important in- dustry of Sonora. Corral charged him. self with demonstrating this by speeches and series of written arti- cles which were afterwards condensed in pamphlet form The committee was convinced and withdrew it's plan.
 Ia the assembly of 1887 he was elevated by public vote to the vice goyernorship of the state, and he vir- tually had charge of the executive power during most of the time through leave of absence granted the constitu- tional governor. His efforts for the tabllshment of public instruction were incessant and it is to him, and to him alone, that the stat? owes it's prosperity and it's excellent system of public schools. Corral retired from his position in 1891, acted as secretary of state until 1895 and was then un- animously elected governor for two terms, filling the position with ability conceded by all and which does not belle his previous record.
 One of the results of his efforts is the college of Sonora, and important establishment at the capital city of the state, numerous school, and a multitude of industrial enterprises throughout the state owe their exist ence to his initiative. It may be said without hyperbole that it is to Gov. Corral that the state owes most, and that by his administrative en- dowments and progressive spirit he has shown himself to be an official who does honor to the republic of Mexico, casting legitimate glory on the state of Sonora.

From the Missouri to the Black Hills.

From the Missouri to the Black Hills.
There is being enough said in the
newspapers, it seems to induce some
railroad company to build a line a
the state of South Dakota, from the
Missouri river to the Black Hills.
The following from the Pierre Rustler,
is one of the latest and best articles
along that line which have come to
our notice: "The of the Black
Hills are of sufficient value to more
than warrant any company in building
the desiced road. The population of
the district is estimated at 10000. The
production of gold during the past
twenty two years has aggregated $780,
100000, and is estimated at 100000,
for the present year. There are in the
Hills valuable deposits of copper, tin,
nickel, mica and coal, and there are fine
grazing lands in all parts of the region.
The total amount of merchandise
carried to the Hills by the two rail
roads reaching that country is said to
have been 10,509 tons per month dur
ing the year. while the shipments have
been enormous including, besides ,ores
nearly 5000 carloads of cattle, horses
and sheep per annum With the prop
er railroad facilities nearly all the
trade could be controlled by Minnea-
polls. The concession which it is said
that South Dakota would offer to a
/ company building the road are termin-
al facilities and forty acres of land in
Pierre, in Aberdeen and in Rapid City,
besides an established grade and right
of way. It seems plain that a more
promising opportunity is seldom off Or
ed to enterprising capitalists"

A Novel Artillery Proposition.

ITO meet the more frequent use Of
intrenchments which modern battles
will present. and to cope with the great.
er obstacles due to the more intense
fire of the defense, it is suggested that q
special artillery corps be provided
whose guns can deliver so-called yer.
teal fire.
"A brigade of $50 such pieces, requir.
ing a personnel of about 5000 men and
1900 animals, might be sent to South
Africa with more tangible results than
by sending 100000 men, of infantry,
ordinary artillery or cavalry. Such a
brigade of guns could be carried wher-
ever infantry could go. They could
be placed in a position in a concen-
trated mass behind hills or woods. so
that they might arrange to direct their
fire upon any desired point of the enc
my's position. without being disturbed
by the enemy's fre."-Capt. Zelinski
