FL CoMBATE is the name of the new journal which appeared in Hermosillo, under the direction and management of Belisorio Val encio, the former editor of Fl Sol, which paper was suppressed last summer, during the political troubles down there, and the editor was incarcerated for a time. The new journal breathes spirit of hos tility to the powers that be in the state government that indicates that his spunk has been in no way al- layed by his forced seclusion of last summer.

WERE this journal to print one tenth of what is being talked about a certain big mine down in Sonora, it would be charged with dealing in personalities and venting personal spleen. Yet certain developments which are the subject of common comment would make very rich reading.
