 again Init the road" stopping a few minutes at San Felipe to call on those whom had met when there return. ing from Agua Caliente.
 At San Felipe 1 met MT. Eugene c Peters who resides in the vicinity of Huepac, and is engaged in developing a mining property in the mountains westward from the latter place, and nOrthward from Aconchi peak. He has sixty foot ledge of high grade copper ore to cut which. at point 300 feet below the croppings he is run ming tunnel MT Wm s. Rogers, of Cerillos, New Mexico. who formerly owned the San Francisco mine at Llano is interested with MT. Peters in this property.
 MT. Peters accom- panied me to Hue pac, where 1 found Doctor Sevey. who had been called over from Aconchi be- fore daylight. He was accompanied by MT. Ricardo Lopez. the Aconchi attorney. The two gentleman were at the house of MT. Rafael Lopez D. the brother of the attorney. who has a large store at Huepac. The gen. tleman IS also interested in mining in the vicinity and has a number of very good prospects. One, La Plomo. sa, has a good we'll defined ledge of leadsilver ore, live feet in width, which yields thirty ounces of silver per ton and fifty per cent lead, This mine he is working, reducing the ores in a reverberatory furnace with cap acity of one ton of ore per diy The product, run into bars the ordinary size of bullion, is shipped to Hermo- siliU and sold to the Mexican ore Co. It runs about fifty-dye ounces of silver 10 each ton of lead
 MT. Lopez called my attention to some mutfies, crucibles and scOritiers, made upon the premises from clay found in the vicinity. It is of sup. erior quality aud the articles made therefrom have finer finish than ordinary.
 At Huepac is a steam flour mil, , running night and day, operated by MT Manuel k. Quiroga. It is q small mill of the old, stone process; but MT Quiroga has contracted with the Nordyke & Norman Company, of To- dianapolis, Indiana to put in for him. in the shortest passibe order, new roller process mill with all the, latest and most improved machinery, with a daily capacity of forty barrels of flour. The machinery will reach Her mosllo in August aud will be trans ported 10 Huepac, set up and running early in October. With the new mill and the fine quality of wheat grown in this valley, the output will rank with the best in So nora.
 MT Quiroga has also store at Hue. pac, and is engaged beside in the busi. ness of freighting, having upon the road ten large teams, transporting merchandise, machinery etc., from the railway at Torres aud La Color ada to points all along the Sonora river and to Moctezuma, Cumpas and Nacosari, over on the Moctezuma river, which lies eastward about thlrty-fve miles, across not very lofty mountain ridge. The gentle man is interested also in mines, hay ing some very good prospects in the vicinity, of which more hereafter.
 Another prominent merchant in Huepac is MT. Jesus Campa $. who was engaged in business in California a number of years at Backerstield aud Tehachipi.

cerned over the discovery of the unoc-

former occupants of the boat will come
to the surface and be recovered.
The boat is now held at the harbor Of
flee, and although several rivermen have
inspected it, no information concerning its
ownership has been obtained. The Har-
bormaster is carefully scanning the lists

their views in writing with assurance
that all such statements so made will

Thomas w Gilmer yesterday wrote to
the commissioners with reference to GER
tam excavations made on the south side
OF L Street, between Ninth and Tenth
streets northwest. Mr.. Gilmer states that
these excavations were made by the
Postal Telegraph Cable Company, and
that the sidewalk has not yet been re-
stored to proper condition. Mr.. Gill
mers letter follows a communication to
the Commissioners dated October l on
the same subject. He SAYS:
These excavations have been made
many times during the past year greatly
to the annoyance of the residents. Your
inspector has reported that the conduit
does not interfere with the sewer The
company is anxious to complete the side
walk If you will no: order another ex-
caNatlOn. 1t seems that the conduit as it
now stands is satisfactory to everybody,
with the possible exception of some Dis
trict official.
Please give orders to let it stay as it
Is and terminate the present uncertainty.
My experience Is that overhead wires
are not nearly so annovinE to residents
and property owners as are the under
ground conduits that require a continu
Gus performance of eXcavators and re-
pairerS."
In another letter Mr.. Gilmer requested
that the Beard would include an item
in its annual estimates to Congress for
the the Improvement of Yale Street, between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets north
west MIR. Gilmer made it a condition of
ms request that no part of the cost should
be assessed against the abutting prop
erty.
Il am aware,r he said, that street paw
ing is usually done without a special as
SesSineht. only wish to say that l have
hdu enough of special assessments. Block
pavement is not desired. l would prefer
10 nave the street remain as it is rather
tndh nave blocks used. Nearly all of the
other streets on Columbia Heights have
been paved between Thirteenth and Four
teenth Streets. l do not know why Yale
Street has been neglected"

a recommendation that a permit be issued

construction work on Connecticut Avenue
and Cincinnati Street northwest Mr..
Dare stated that this work was authorized
py the act OF Congress approved March
