3200 inhabitants, and it Is situated in the extreme northwest corner of tho Alamos district, the south line of the Sahuaripa district reaching the Yaqui river just above the town. Upon the opposite side of the river the dividing line between the Guaymas and Her mosillo districts comes to the river La Dura is at one of the mines of the company, down the river and in sight of La Concentration. Across the river from La Dura is La Aguja. All these towns derIve their support from the operations of La Dura company.
 When l came down the next morn- ing found MT James II. Brent in the office awaiting me. He had come up from Colonel Ginger's camp at Cuma- ripa, down the river, and was on his way to La Barranca He said that GiDger's party is encamped in the Yaqui Indian region, and that the Indians are giving them no trouble whatever.
 told Brent that had called at bis Pillardita mine, and saw Barlow who is in charge. When said that Barlow had declared he had not heard from Brent in eight months the latter laughingly said: That's right; I don't believe in bothering friends and relatives too much.n But he seemed pleased to know that Barlow was talk ing ore out aud shipping it.
 MT. Brent was with two members of the Ginger party, en route to San Xavier beyond La Barranca, and he invited me to join the party to La BarraUca, which l was glad to do. We got away about 6:30, and just out side of the town l met the other two -Messrs. H. l.. Terry, the manager, and Frank Weimer, the expert. Mir. Schabarum had sent guide with me, and we constituted party of five with an extra pack animal carrying the camp equipage of the other gen. tlemen.
 We skirted up the river about half a mile before crossing, and just around the point l recognized my camping place where l lay all night unable to find La Concentration, only half mile away.
 We made fast tune to La Barranca, which place we reached about three o'clock in the afternoon.

WAY SIDE NOTES.

Don Pedro Schabarum, the manager for La Dura company had Lot yet come into the office. l was directed Go a hotel, aud had gone there and put up when d ''moZU" cane with a polite invitation from Don Pedro to come over to his place at once, and the "mozu" had instructions to take over my mule and baggage instant- ly availed myself Of the invitation and was shortly quarfered with Don Pe- dro, and seated to splendid break fast.
 passed the day visiting with MT SchaDarum, looking over the works, posting myself, etc. The following day Mr. Schabardm took me around to the various mines of La Dura Mill X Mining Co.,, an extended descrip- ton of which will go into another and separate article.
 In passing along the bank of the river below the works Don Pedro told me fish story. He pointed to lit. tie quiet pool of water, where a pro- jecting point about about thirty feet iong protected the water behind from agitation by the current Of the river. Across from this point to the main land the distance is not more than twenty feet, sbout as wide as the length of boat, and the water is shallow. A discharge of salty water from the works flows into this little estuary, and the fishes in the river (nulletsl are very fond of 1t. During the night they gather there in great numbers to feed upon it.. At day light the ferryman swings his boat around into the mouth of the estuary, grounding 1t there and completely blocking the entrance. Then agitates the water in the estuaro with his oar, and in their frightened efforts to es. cape the fishes jump into the boat. Any morning the b0atman catches from twenty to thirty large fish, and his greatest catch counted up eighty four tinny victims at one time. As proof of this fish story MT. Schabarum had some of the fish fried for my breakfast the morning l came away. But never disbelieve a fish story anyhow. l was taught better in Sun- day school, in my youth, in re Jonah and the whale.
 In coming from La Bufa to La Con- contraction l had descended from an altitude of 48O0 feet to one of but TOO feet, where it becomes quite warm in summer. Yet the night after my ar. rival there was quite s frost, and I concluded 1t must have been quite cold in Nogales. MT. Schabarum fear ed the frost had nipped his vegetables, put, fortunately, they escaped. He mas fine garden, raising radishes, lettuce. beets, caobages, spinach, cauliflower, and everything imagin. able in the way of vegetables. Even at this season he has great profusion | OI this vegetables upon his table daily.
 MT. Schabarum has but recently re- turned from visit to Europe where ne left his ten year old son in Ger many to be educated. During his ab- Sehce his place was filled several months by MT. Fred A. Hartman of LoS Angeles, California, the president v' La Dura Mine & Milling Co.,, who 'oufteen years ago was MT. Schab- a'ums predecessor as manager.

Resided In Albany When Char
ley Was Stolen.
Mr.. Ross Spent Fortune Searching
For the Lost Boy. :.

The Cudahy kidnapping in Omaha,
Neb, has aroused the entire country
as has no other similar act since the
DAYS of the famous abduction of little
Charley Ross. This happened over a
quarter century ago and In all that
long time not word has ever been
heard of the lad. Several times there
have been reports circulated that
Charley Ross had been found, but
each time the story proved to be a
fake. Charley Ross dropped out of
sight as completely as If swallowed
by an earthquake. The story of his
abduction is part of history and the
name of the lost boy Is familiar to
every American home.
There is n man living in Akron who
remembers distinctly the furor and
excitement the kidnapping of Charley
Ross caused in Albany, N. Y. the
home of the Ross family. The man is
Mr.. Douglas w. Patton, of 613 East
Buchtel ave. Mr.. Patton is n native
of Albany, and was small boy when
the famous abduction took place.
In conversation with Democrat re-
porter Thursday, Mr.. Patton spoke Of
the great similarity between the Gu
daily and Ross kidnapping stories. Ir
both cases the kidnapers sent letters
to the fathers of the kidnapped and de
manded ransom for the return of theii
sons. Mr.. Cudahy paid the price In
coin while Mr.. Ross paid the price with
his life He died of a broken heart.
mo, do not recall all Of the de-
tails to the Ross case" said Mr.. Pat
ton. II was only small lad but |
remember well that my mother kept
close watch on me for many months
nfterward. In fact all of the parents
in Albany did the same, 1t was more
effective than curfew ordinance
Everybody was talking of the Ross
kidnapping for long time after and
the abduction created great excite,
ment If remember rightly Mr.. Ross
received letter which promised ia
return Charley upon recelpt of GER
tain sum of money, Mr., Ross was q
wealthy man and he was inclined Ia
pay the ransom. A detective, how.
ever, influenced Mr.. Ross not to dc
so. The detective said he could catch
the kidnaper and so Mr. Ross kept tn,
money, Re kept mp the search for his
lost son until his death, which wa,
probably due to broken heart. Mr.
Ross died a poor man. He spent hi,
fortune trying to secure some trace OF
the stolen lad"

The secretaries are then to collect 10

were taken to the City Hospital, they
always received the best possible treat
ment. In fact, on several occasions,
where accidents had occurred ana

THE LIGHTNING ROD SHARP.

Out in Neosho county the other
day a farmer was approached by a
humanitarian who offered 10 put
lightning rods on his house for the
small sum of 81, with dinner
thrown in. To the farmer man this
looked like just about the hottest
bargain that ever came this way,
and he agreed to it without delay.
The rods were put up, but when the
farmer handed over the So, the
lightning rod man called his atten.
ton to the fact that this did not
square the bill. THAT" said the
shifty lightning rod man, merely
pays for the rods alone. Now there
are the three points which have
been put up. They will cost you in
addition $50 apiece.
And then this farmer man, in
stead of picking up a neckyoke or
a pitchfork or something of the
kind and chasing the swindlers of
the place, attached his signature to
a note for 500; aud the lightning
rod men again went forth on their
search for easy money.

Fellow citizens, let us forget any

anything that may have been said
