In caustic letter to Gov. Durbin of
Indiana Gov. Beckham of Kentucky re-
plies TO his criticism Of the courts and
officials of Kentucky made in q recent

the most unsatisfactory prize fights
eter witnessed in this country. James
J.. Jeffries proved the victor over
Gus Ruhlin, the Akron giant. In the fifth
rund Of what was TO have been atwenty-
round struggle, Rubin wilted and then
surrendered to his peer to the utter amaze
ment and disgust of the assembled thOus-
ands. No one was more surprised at the
outcome than Jeffries himself. who asserted
that while he had delivered one telling
blow in the second round. he did not ex

Bradstreets says: Favorable features
are still largely in the ascendant. and the
current Of business is running full the
country over. In some directions, indeed,
notably in the matter of forwarding of
general merchandise, grain, ore. coal,
ron and lumber, complaints of insufficient
transportation facilities have become
more marked. Seasonable weather condi-
tions East, North and West have ex-
banded retail trade and enlarged reassort-
ing orders from jobbers. Weather condi-
tions at the South have, however. not
been entirely favorable, and complaints
OF slowness Of collections, due TO the
backward cotton crop or the lower prices
paid therefor, have been more numerous.
Aside from the strength in raw cotton,
the features have been the increased
strength in such cereals as corn and oats,
1ue to the springing up of better de-
nand, some slight firmness in lard. sea-
sonable advance in butter and eggs and
other dairy products and the stimulation
to tin prices caused by close control of
spot supplies.

A few months ago injury to the corn
crop aroused fears that the railroads
would be seriously handicapped by the
loss of tonnage. yet the season Of grain
traffic has not only failed to produce de-
creased earnings, but there is such a

er that numerous industries are badly de-
moralized. In so far as these interests

essentially the same properties as Hot Springs in Arkansas. Some day there will be a big health resort in there.
 Monday morning, the 18th of Janu- arp, Messrs. Bethune, Adams and myself made an early start from La Barranca. We had agreed to travel the remaining thirty leagues of our respective journeys in company. But before we had gone mile 1t was so plainly apparent that their outfit was two slow to make the time 1 had to make, so 1 bade them "adios" and passed on. They had two saddle horses and couple of burros laden with their camp equipage and provi- sions.
 A little over league from La Bar ranca l overlook gentleman named Esquer, brother of Don Ramon Es- quer, the merchant at La Colorado, who had come up from point where the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Chi huahua corner, and he was upon his way to LaCelorada to visit his brother, whom he had not seen for twelve years. The gentleman and his son were mounted, and they were accom- panied by two 'mozos" afoOt, armed with car5ines. They had been eleven days upon the road resting two days at Alamos. Mir Esquer said that they covered from twelve to fourteen leagues every day. When 1 told him that 1 was en route to Minas P'ieJas he proposed that we travel together, to which 1 assented, provided they could keep up, and they said they could. They had camped close to where 1 overlook them, and 1 had come more than league. My mule was making league and half an hour, and good at that all day, so if they made fourteen leagues they would be with me when we stopped at night. Add they kept up about two leagues. It was remarkable how those two foot travellers jogged along. They are Mayo Indians 1 think. We hustled over the road at good rate and they were right behind us all the way.
 At the end of two leagues we stopped to water our animals, and while resting little 1 asked one of them if he did not tire in travelling at that rate, He said no, only a'ong in the afternoon the calves of hi, legs ached a little. He declared that he could make twe.ve or fourteen leagues a day right straight along, without any difficulty. But after we left this stopping place they Jagged back and 1 saw no more of them. 1 thought per haps they would travel later and overtake me at the camp at night. But as they did not 1 concluded that was one of their twelve league days, and that they had stopped short from my days journey couple of leagues.
 At the place where we watered our there was camped man with ! couple of saddle animals. He recog- nized me and told me he was the man whom 1 met with the colored cook coming out the day 1 went into Mu-
 
 He said the cook did not pay him for the service. He had then been away rom home with his animals fourteen lays, and had yet week or more to travel to get back home, and all for sAt least that was his plain i've story.

 ing operator from San Francisco, Cal lfornia, looking over this part of the Sonora mineral region. They had left Minas Prietas about Christmas, and had made the circuit from that place to Soyopa, Arevechi Sahuaripa, San Antonio de la Huerta and La Barran- ca. They were now about to return to Mnas Prietas and we agreed to travel along together after looking ever the coal mines.
 At La Barranca 1 met MT. Juan F. Robinson, son of Judge G. H. Robin son, who is in business in that place, and is also interested in mining oper- ations in the vicinity. He is one of the company owning and operating Fl Candelero, very rich gold and silver mine, in one of the two high peaks overlooking La Barranca, which are named Los Bronces. MT. Emete- rio Tapia of La Barranca is manager of the property. He ships his rich ores, and has shipped to Torres and sold there ores to the value of one hundred thousand dollars. Special assays from the ledge in the El Can- delero have given returns as high as 10000 ounces in silver, and ten ounces in gold. Shipments of ore have real ized 600 to $50 ounces in silver and ten ounces in gold. The lower grades of ores are reduced in arrastras, of which he has ten in operation, averag- ing 100 or more ounces in silver and four or five ounces in gold. They work about one ton in twenty-four hours.
 In the vicinity many ''gambnsinos" are working small gold ledges, and re- ducing the ores in arrastras. Nearly every ravine in the vicinity has an arrastra running.
 Near San Xavier George Wyman, c. O. Rountree and others are deyel- oping very promising property which has produced and shipped some very rich ores.
 Sunday morning MT H. N. Martin. the mine superintendent. in charge of the work of the coal development for the Southern Pacific Co.,, under the management of Prof. E. T. Dum- ble, who had gone home to Texas a few days before, showed Messrs. Adams, Bethune and myself over the workings at the coal fields at two points, the Gopher mine, about half a league from La Barranca, and the z mine the workings have developed seven lodges of fine anthracite coal, varying in thickness from 2t to feet. About thirty men are employed in the work. In the vicinity, close to the trail we travelled is a splendid deposit of high grade ore, very extensive, and of high grade. It will one day be profitable property.
 Returning from the coal mines at noon we took dinner with MT. Martin and his associates, and we found them | a very pleasant set of gentlemen.
 The work upon the coal at La Bar ranca is under management of Prof. E. T. Dumble, formerly state geolo- gist of Texas, and his subordinates are as follows: H. N. Martin, superin- tendent; Storer Leverett, toporaph- ical engineer; Lucius WoodhCuse, foreman at the z mine: Ramon Renda, foreman at the Gopher mine; c. s. Kidd, accountant. MT. Martin is practical coal miner, from Pennsyl- yania: MT. Leverett is from Texas, and Mir. Woodhouse from California; aud Mir Kidd is from Houston, Texas.

THANKSGIYlNG(IN
ANCIENT TIMES
copyright. 1901, by William L.Ivsil.1


In some form the gathering OF the
harvest has been celebrated by agri-
cultural communities since the days OF
classical antiquity. Ceres, sometimes
called queen of the harvest, Is the sub
ject of endless eul0gies in the tales of
NEUROLOGICAL times.
Demeter, or Ceres, was the goddess
protecting corn and agriculture In gen
eral. The fame Of this goddess and
worship instituted by her extended
over the east. She was the mother Of
Persephone. the beautiful maiden
whom Aidoneus, with the help Of her
father, Zeus, carried off.
In despair at the loss Of her daugh-
ter Ceres wandered over the face Of the
earth and finally, in the disguise of an
old woman, found home In Eleusis.
There she at length revealed herself
and caused temple to be built. TAX
ing up her abode In 1t, year Of fam.
inc came over the land. The soil yield
cd no produce. In vain the people
plowed and sowed seed. The race was
in danger of perishing, and Zeus in
despair begged Ceres to come back to
Olympus, but she would not return to
him nor permit the earth to bring forth
until she had seen her daughter. Zeus
then prevailed upon the captors Of
PersephOne to release her, and the fair
one was conducted to Eleusis. The
meeting between mother and daughter
was n joyous one, and Zeus sent mes
senger to invite his spouse and their
offspring back to heaven. Ceres COM
piled.
And instant, from the deep soiled cornaeds
fruit sent up with leaves and flowers the whole
wide earth was laden.
This fiction is taken as a parable to
show the secret life Of nature and the
development Of food from seed Of
grain buried In the earth. Ceres Is
commonly represented with a sickle in
her right hand. A wreath Of wheat
confines her hair, and q cornucopia,
type of plenty, is placed near her to
represent fruitful harvests.
The Eleusinian mysteries Origl-
mated in the worship set up to Ceres
at Eleusis. Little Is positively known
Of the nature Of this secret worship,
except that 1t was ennobling to the
