THE UREs DISTRICT.
One of the Largest Most Varied and Fer tile in Natural Resources of All
 Districts in sonora.

The District of Ures, which ex.
 tends more than two thirds of the
 way across the state, is one of the
 largest in Sonora. Upon investiga-
 ton l find that, as in other cases
 the Herbert map is in error Tn this
 particular. According to that the
 southern prolongation of the Altar
 district separates the west end of
 the Ures district from the gulf coast
 by a distance of about seventy
 miles, cutting off strip that width
 and fifty miles from north to south,
 which should appear as a part of
 Ures, the jurisdiction of the latter
 extending clear to the shore of the
 guilt. This is not the only discrep-
 ancy in the Herbert map. For instance il shows Magdalena dis
 trict to include La Cananea while it is in the District of Arizpe; and 1t places the northern boundary of the Sahuaripa district at the Yaqui river-where that river flows west. ward--when the line passes nearly thirty miles to the north, within a mile of Lampazos. There are other discrepancies in the map not necessary to mention. It is ex- plained that when the Herbert map was published change in arrange ment of the districts was contem- plated, and the map was made with the expectation that the projected changes would be carried out; but for some reason the alterations never ocurred. The old Fleury map of which very few copies are extant, is still the official map of Sonora, and the district lines there defined are those observed in de termining jurisdiction.
 To describe the geographical form ot the Ures district would puzzle the ingenuity of the traditional Philadelphia lawyer. It's northern boundary, which is straight east and west line, about I2o miles south ot the international line at Nogales extends fully 2Io miles from the coast. Fifty miles south of that and about thirty miles east ward, with the trend of the shore of the gulf, begins the southern boundary, which runs directly east, parallel with the north line, about I3o miles, then the line drops to the southeast for distance of fifty miles, then turns for thirty miles on a straight line running little west of south, where it again takes southeasterly direction, in a straight line for a distance of more than 100 miles reaching the Yaqui liver about Soyopa, which place is about 25o miles directly south from the international line and I75 miles east from the gulf.

 ripa district. Following up tha
 river, which makes a great bow
 and forms the southeastern bounda.
 " of the Unes district, the line
 leaves the river near Suaqui de Ba-
 tue, about forty miles straight
 across, but considerably more by
 the winding of the river. Then it follows north ward about thirty
 miles, westward the same distance,
 then nortnwestward about 100
 miles, changing the angle of tue line slightly in one place, until the
 eastern end of the north line is
 reached. In studying its outlines
 one is impressed with the idea that
 the Ures district was lai iout square
 when the earth in this part of the
 world was flat, and was crumpled
 up in the making of the mountains.
 The district presents the usual diversity os mountain and valley and includes various regions of great fertility in natural resources, whether considered from the stand point of agriculture and horticul- ture, or with view to the great industry of mining. In the river valleys the soil is very rich and fertile, with irrigation producing very abundautly of all cereal and leguminous crops, and all kinds of fruits. Wheat, corn, beans, peas, etc., thrive and yield large crops. The cane grows finely, but it's sugar producing qualities are not so great as in the more tropical climate of Sinaloa, and as a conse- quence since the removal of state duties which formerly prevailed in sugar from the latter state has undersold the home product, the "panocha" industry has lan- guished and the cane is now cul- tivated to meet the limited demand for eating the pith of the stalk of which all are very fond. In remote valleys of other districts where costly transportation is a pro- lection "panocha" continues to be made for home consumption. In the horticultural line oranges, peaches, plums, quinces and other fruits thrive and produce abund- antly. Alfalfa is also a good crop. | Cultivation is confined to the river valleys in the eastern half of the district. The gulf region is dry and arid, and but little know. There Ire those however who hold to aith that large part of that re- zion will be one day irrigated by development of artesian water. The great plain along the line of the Sonora railway between Santa Ana, Il tue Magdalena district, and Za- nora, in that of Hermosillo, is said y experts to be underlaid by art sian flows which will be one day apped and utilized.

 Eastward from Rayon are very valuable copper deposits, 'antiguas' which are attracting much atten- tton and receiving no small amount of development work. Westward from Rayon is La Pascua mine, very valuable property owned by MT. J N. Bringas of Guaymas.
 All the foregoing properties are within few miles of the San Mi guel river.
 Farther westward, nearer the line of the Sonora railway, near Carbo, La Dorada, property with a fine record of past production has been recently purchased by MT. William Gallatin CarroI of New York, who has already commenced operations and will push forward vigorously until the property is once more one of the great procers of Sonora.
 Westward from Carbo Messrs Groves & Lewis have recently taken up a very fine copper prop. erty, and are pushing development work upon comprehensive scale.
 In the southeastern part of the district, near the Yaqui river, there is also great mining activity. Ia the jurisdiction of San Antonio de la Huerta the Chicago & Sonora Mining Co.,, which has been work ing during couple of years past upon severalf fine properties purchas- ed at that time, has recently pur- chased from MT.

The Best of 1t
A Juvenile Sketch
for
independence Day

The Crosspatch Man was sick again,
and this time it must be pretty bad,
for all the morning Meredith had been
watching the servants spread straw
before the house and mutf1e the big,
shiny doorbell.
Poor mani" mamma said, pitingly.
HE is sick so often!"
But he's a Crosspatch Mani" NUT
tered Meredith stiff1y. Then he re-
pented and looked as shamefaced as a
very little boy with very round, dim
pied face could look. I'm SO sorry
he's very SICK" he said slowly. Il
s'pose it hurts even Crosspatch Men"
Mamma did not notice. She was
having her little noon gossip" with
papa, and they were still talking about
their invalid neighbor.
TT isn't quite so bad as it seems,
you know" papa was saying. He al
ways has the straw laid down and
things muf1ed when he has one OF
his worse nervous attacks. 1t doesn't
mean all that it does in most cases.
He is terribly afflicted by noise at al
most any time.
Noise. l should think SOL" That
was from Meredith, who pricked up
his ears at the word. Didn't he know
how the Crosspatch Man felt bout
noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd
Street Second? Wasn't he captain?
And oh, my, the times he'd seen the
Crosspatch Man a-scowling and a.
tuning when they marched past his
window!
But Fourth Of July will be terri
BILE day to him-poor mani" went on
mammals gentle voice. That made
Meredith start little. He had been
thinking about Fourth O. July, too.
(Did he think OF much of anything
else nowadaysO He had been going
over in his mind all the glorious pro-
gram of the day. For the Rudd Street
Second was going to celebrate in
worthy manner. They were going to
even Guido themselves this year-and
hadn't they had the proud honor of
being the noisest street in the city for
two Fourth O. Julys a-running? Let
'em just wait till they heard this
Fourth O. July!
It was three days of. That would
give the Crosspatch Man time to have
the straw taken up and the bell I'M
muHed, for his worst times" never
lasted more than two or three days.
"Then he'll have to cotton up his
ears" unused Meredith, philosophic-
ally, watching the big foreign servant
that wore turban go back and forth
past the Crosspatch Mans window.
The house Meredith lived in and the
Crosspatch Mans house were quite
close together, SO it was easy to watch
things.
Unfortunately for an invalid with

HE MADE A LITTLE SPEECH.
Crosspatch Mans house, he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing, it
was SO quiet in the street. Perhaps it
was the slull before the storm"
THE sahib cannot bear it, gentle
soothing voice was saying, but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in it. THE sahib will
be again sick"
Then came Meredith's establishment,
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering, and it was quite calm and
gentle; and it said: ..s ~
'Of course shall be sick again,
Hari!I've made all my plans to perish.
But what can you expect? The little
chaps must have their Fourth O. July
was little chap myself-once. Shut
the window,Hari. There's suspicion
of draught."
+ Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
ment, and watched the turban-man
close the window. He was little
chap himself once, the Crosspatch
Man was! And how kind his voice
had sounded, too. 1t made him sorry
for the crasspatch Man-sorrier than
he had ever been before.
Hes a-dreadin' it like sixty. He's
'spectin' to perish" Meredith said
aloud. tits goin' to make him sick,
of course-that's what he said to the
turban-man. An he was a little chap
once, an his voice was kind an tired
OUT
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think. That was
where he always thought things-big
things, you know. This was, oh my,
such a big thing!
I'm cap'n,' unused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. II can say,
Go, an thou ghost" like the man in
the Bible; but they'll be dreadful
dis'pointed, the Rudd Street Seconds
will be. Still-well, he sick an he
had kind spot in his voice, an he
used to be little chap, too, so Of
course he used to bang things an
make noises. don't think he sound
ed much like Crosspatch Man,
In little while, after a little more
tough thinking, Meredith slipped
street. He got together the Rudd
Street Seconds and made little
speech, as captain may, to his men.
The next day the city and all Amer
lea celebrated Fourth O. July, and
Rudd Street was famous again, but
this time for being the very quietest
street in all the city! There were just
as many boys in it, too, as ever.
The Crcsspatch Mans white, ner-
vous face smoothed and Gained as the
day wore on, and at last it actually
smiled in gentle way, as if he was
thinking about something pleasant.
And the captain of the Rudd Street
Seconds and his brave men, drilling
and popping and banging in distant
street, were happy, too.-Annie Ham
