la I,arranca Coal Measures |.

ulSliiCb ol SOUOTd, near tue dQul
 river, about ninety-five miles east
 ward from Ortiz station, on the Sono-
 ra railway. Messers. F. A. Hartman
 and associates, Napoleon and Armin
 Graf and F. ;. Ench) cut through
 several veins of good anthracite. This
 led to their prospecting the surround
 ing region for coal, and their investi.
 gations led to their securing title to
 some 2500 hectaras of coal lands,
 upon which they executed sufficient
 work to develop that they were of real
 value. The gentlemen named held
 the property number of years, and
 when the Sonora railway passed under
 the control of the Southern Pacific company, in 1897, that company after
 having had an expert examination of
 the region by Professor E. T. Dumble, state geologist of Texas, made over-
 lures for purchase. Through MT. J. A. Naugle, manager of the Sonora railway the transaction was consum-
 mated, and in 1898 the property pass ed into possession of the railway own CTS, who immediately inaugurated ex- tensive development work, which has been pushed with all vigor, and still continues.
 Professor Dumble was engaged to manage the conduct of the work, and has effected vast amount of under ground operation which has developed splendid bodies of fine anthracite coal and seyen foot ledge of natural coke
 The principal workings are in the anthracite field, at pont about three miles east of La Barranca, and at about an equal distance west from the Yaqui river. At this point an in clned shaft of 2Ss sunk to depth of 200 feet, with a tunnel therefrom run hing west 100 feet, has cut no less than seven anthracite coal seams, varying in thickness from two and onehalf to six feet. Farther down 1 the hlll ninety foot shaft penetrates the same workings. These workings are known as the z mine.
 About midway between the z mine | and La Barranca is the Gopher mine. | Here an inclined shaft of 359, follow ing tue strike of the vein has develop. | ed seven foot bed of natural coke. | The strike of this vein is south. At a | depth of eighty feet drift has been | run westward POO feet, at which point | a drift has been run eighty.six feet | north and another above ninety feet south. and all this work described fol- | lows the seven foot deposit of natural | coke. Further development in this [ field is new being prosecuted.
 The work described has developed | coal and coke deposits which will fur nish an unfalng supply of fuel for many years. Exhaustive tests made in locomotive of the Southern Pa. cific upon one of the divisions out of Los Angeles, last year. demonstrated that the coal is good quality of an thracite, steaming freely, and excel lent for all purposes to which coal is put. Thorough tests of the coke have proved that deposit also possesses great value for smelling and con- mercial purposes.
 About twenty miles east of La Bar. ranca, in the Sahuaripa district, be- yond the Y aqui river are located also other extensive measures known as Los Pilares coal field. This field has been purchased from the Mexican gov ernment by Messrs. F. A. Hartman of I,os Angeles. California. Armin Graf

Hartman and associates have acquired
 very valuable property
 It is the intention of the Southern
 Pacific Go. to build in the near future,
 from Ortiz or Torres station, branch
 of the Sonora railway Great shipping
 docks and wharves will be erected at
 GuaymaS, and Sonora coal and natural
 coke will become amo1g stap.e com
 modities of the commerce of the Pa
 ciiic. The railway building south
 ward from Bisbee will also penetrate
 these coal fields, drawing fuel for the
 big copper mines in the Moctezuma and Arizpe districts, and giving the coal and coke product another outlet to the waters of the gulf.
 But beyond all this is the tremen- dous development of the vast mineral possibilities of the surrounding region. The sonth end of the Sahuaripa dis trict, the north end of the AlamOs district, and the east ends of the Guaymas and Hermosillo districts, all within radius of fifty ts sixty miles from these two coal fields, are a region of wonderfully rich natural mineral resources. Lead, iron, copper, silver and gold abound. There is d very extensive deposit of iron ore of very high per centage cropping out Of the top of the mountain above the shaft at the Gopher mine. In the past that vast region has been wonder fully productive But with the great expense of transportation only the richest ores have been profitable to work. Development of these c"al fields and rail transportation will be speedily followed by erection of a great reduction plant at some point on the Yaqui river near the coal. Then thousands of lodges now lying idle will be taken up and worked be- cause their values can be realized at profit to the owners, And in the of the reduction works will ] arise great city, rivaling in import ance the cities for which Colorado is noted, which have grown in wealth and splendor from natural mineral re- sources no greater than contained in the region here described.

CATTLE MEN May
Be INDEPENDENT
REPRESENTS ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLIONS-SECEDE
FROM STOCK GROWERS.

Denver, Colo., Feb 26.-There is much
speculation in the live stock world as to
the action which will be taken by the
American Cattle Growers association
in regard to the National Live Stock
association. 1t is understood, in some
quarters, that the new association
which meets here March 5th, will be-
come a member of the older organiza-
ton, but many claim that it will not
only hold aloof but draw all the cattle
men away from the stock growers asso-
cha ton.
The executive committee of the Cattle
Growers will meet in Denver, March 5th,
to lay out the work of the convention.
The questions to be considered will in.
clude those of government land leasing,
transportation rates and privileges, in
spection and inspection fees and others
of almost equa Importance. The secre-
tary of the American Cattle Growers
associat ton has given out the statement
that the present Z; n! ership, which in
cludes many of the ~ 'Tt prominent cat
tie growers in the country from North
Dakota to Arizona, and from the Mis-
sCuri river to the Pacific coast. repre-
sents cattle to the value of $150,O00 900.

Supreme Court Hot on the Trail of the
Corporations.

New York, Feb. ga decision has
been rendered by the supreme court at
Trenton in a case of the Fidelity Trust
Co. of Newark, against the city of New
ark, sustaining an assessment for taxes
by the city upon both the capital stock
and surplus of the company. T. B. Low
ey president of the Newark tax board.
said that the decision enabled the board
also to tax the surplus of the banks
This has been assessed for several years
but the tax was not paid, the banks
claiming that the law exempted the sur,
Plus.
In the case of the Fidelity Trust Co
the company assented to the tax on its
81 ,000, 900 of stock, but denied the city's
right to assess $4,000 surplus. The
board assessed the surplus and stock to-
sether and the company carried the
matter on certiorari to the supreme
court for review. 1t is not known
whether the company will appeal the
court of errors.

New York, Feb. 26.-There are Few ad
ditional details of the rout of the Dutch

une's London correspondent, but there

that the end of the war is nearer than
it was. DeWets scheme of consolida-

tions and their resources paralyzed
Bo, has force has been harassed steadily
and compelled to break up into small
bands. Its losses in ammunition are
heavy and the country is devastated.
Gen. Kitchener has, with scientific
thoroughness, corralled the spare popu-
lation here and there under strong
guard and emptied the vast spaces of
South African veldt, so that there is no
possibility of continuing the war in an
effective way. There are no relays Of
horses no droves of cattle. the veldt is
unnhabitab!e and train-wrecking is the
last resource of the guerrillas. There
may be unforeseen accidents, but no
military expert in London expects that
the war will be prolonged yond the
first Of July. 1t is reported that there
were wagers in Johannesburg at the
opening of the year that the mines
would be operated by the first week in
July.

INDIANA WANTS
A PRESIDENT
TWO CANDIDATES FOR SLAUGH-
TER IN 1904.
NEWSPAPER MAN A VICTIM
MAY BE BATTLE GROUND FOR
NEXT CAMPAIGN-FAIR-
BANKS A POSSIBILITY.

Chicago, Feb. pa special to the
Post from Washington says:
Mention of the name of Tom Johnson,
of Ohio, in connection with the next
democratic nomination for the presi-
dency, has revived presidential gossip
here, and just at present Indiana is re-
CeiVing a great amount of attention
from prophets. Senator Charles w.
Fairbanks has been much talked of as
the republican nominee. and a goodly-
sized rumor credits him with having
sufficient strength to land him safely
in almost any party position he may
seek. AS companion-piece to the
Fairbanks gossip comes the story that
Indiana is likely to be made the 1904
battle-ground through the nomination by
the democrats of Samuel E. Moerss.
publisher Of the Indianapoli Sentinel.
Already Indiana newspapers are gos-
siping about the possibility of two
presidential candidates from the state.
At the Kansas City convention last
year. as the Indiana member of the
resolutions committee, Mr.. Moerss form
ed the 16 to l opposition. But despite his
open opposition to the silver element, he
supported the nominee and the ticket
personally and with his newspaper, and
DecauSe OF TINS ne is regarded by many
democrats as a happy medium between
the silver men and the gold men who
refused to support the ticket.
Mr.. Moarss was cOnsul-gen aral to
Paris during Cleveland's second term.
He is man of much culture and wide
experience, is a strong writer, and an
orator of more than ordinary ability.
Aside from his foreign appointment,
he has never held political office, and
has refused nominations by his party
many times.
Just now Mr.. 'Moerss is in Mexico or
Central America, and numerous at
tempts 10 secure from him an express
sion of opinion as to his possible pres-
Dental candidacy have failed, and his
return to this country is awaited with
much interest by the Indiana demo-
Gratis in congress, who are anxious tc
know what he will have to say.

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. GA special to

Fire broke out in No one mine of the
Diamond Coal and Coke company's
mines at Diamondville about O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. The fire originated
at a drivers cabin in No. 6, south of the
main entry. Its origin is unknown but
it is supposed to have been started by
carelessness on the part of one of the
drivers who congregate at that point
About forty or fifty men are below the
fire, and all are lost. They are mostly
Italians and Finlanders. there being only
two Americans in the lot. The superin-
tendent issued orders closing ali the EN-

All efforts to succor those farther
back have failed, as the fierce flames
drove the rescuers back. That all have
perished is without question. The
scenes around the mine were horrifying,
mothers, wives and sweethearts weep
agony and all efforts to calm them
proved of no avail The loss of prop
erty will reach an enormous figure and
as the officials are very reticent the
amount and names of those imprisoned
