with record of production going many years back. Up on top Of the mountain one sees an open cut where the former owners removed the ledge bodily, leaving the walls standing. The ledge Is four feet wide and the ore averages about fifty .ollars per ton in gold. MT. Brant has sunk shaft 300 feet and has in sight l6,OOO to ls,000 tons of ore.
 Across the mountain from Mir. Brants mill Is the mill of the San Miguel Mining Co.,, which formerly worked the ores of the Santa Margar- lta, but is now working with good re- suits upon ores from the San Jose mine, another good property in the vicinity.
 About two and one-half miles before reaching Nacosari we stopped a short time at La Cuesta de Castillo, the home ranch of the, Sonora Land Co.,. handsome stone structure. of real architectural beauty, beautifully located in a wild and picturesque glen, amid the most charming surround ings MT. Gregory, the gentleman in charge, pressed us to stay over night, but we were compelled to decline his kind invitation.
 The Sonora Land Co. has here in one tract one hundred and thirteen thousand acres of land, and another aud smaller tract down in the Sahua. ripa district. They have thousands of cattle, many of them thoroughbred Herefords.
 We reached Nacosari just at dark, and were at once made at home.
 We had expected to catch stage from Nacosari to Moctezuma, but when we reached the former named place Friday evening we found the stage had started that morning, aud would not go again until the next Tuesday. pr Ricketts kindly yolun- teered to get us saddle horses and send with us man to bring back the horses from Moctezuma, we accepted and arranged to start Sunday morn- ing.
 Saturday we passed at Nacosar lPlaceritos) looking over the works, Doctor Rickets kindly showing us about and taking us up to the mine.
 Upon our way over the line of the railway we were pointed out, at point on the side of big mountain several miles away, the Fort Yuma mine, which was operated by Cover nor Zulick at the time he was Cover. nor of Arizona. Many have an idea that the mines at present operated by the Moctezuma Copper Co. were operated by Zulick; but such is not the case. lu Zulick's time these mines were not Known This com pauy, however, now own the property Zuiick operated. Zulick's operations were unsuccessful. most of the values in the ore going Uff in the slag. Re- ductiOu proce .ses were not then to so me science as now. Doctor Rickett stated that ZuIick's old slag dump would pay handsomely to run through the new plant of the company, and that will be done whenever they can get around to 1t.

outs, the stage station. One of them said it was but little way, and that she was going there. We invited her to ride, and she accepted. On the way we learned she was Mrs. Will. Hams, wife Of the manager of the Cor 0na mine, about eighteen miles west from Holstadts, from which place she had just come, and was awaiting the stage to go to Nacosari the next day. The lady who vas with her at the gate was Mrs. Holstadt.
 Mrs. Williams told us that near the Corona mine there are some placer diggings from which considerable gold s being taken by Mexicans They tunnel into the hills, wheel out tue dirt and wash 1t out in rockers, get ting shot gold and nuggets varying in size up to that of one's thumb. MT. Leavenworth, who runs store in the vicinity, is negotiating to organize a company to denounce the ground and work it on an extensive scale. The place is called Las Aguias ("The Esgles").
 At Teachout's, the stage station, we stopped more than an hour and got another elegant meal. It is the first eating station ever saw where they forced upon me second piece of pie It was pumpkin pie, and delicious tun. Not anticipating such treat l had filled up with beef, bacon and Olatues, and much to my regret, had to pass the second piece of pumpkin pie.
 At Teachout's we met the stage go- ing in from Nacosari, and there was amung the passengers a little gentle man named Sweeny, very pleasant little man. who took great interest in Mr Harper and myself. He asked if we bad brought with us any bedding, and when we gave him negative re- ply he was very much disturbed on our account for he knew We would find DO place to sleep at Nacosari. We told him we were acquainted there and that no doubt some kind friend would provide for us. He as- sured us it would be an impossibility but the after event proved that we were right The first man We spoke to in Nacosari- before we got out of the hack vas Wm. Wohler. foreman carpenter for the company, whom I knew at Prietas, and who knew MT. Harper at Chihuahua several years before. He immediately showed US to bis quarters and provided us with d good bed. A few moments later Al Brockman of Nogales, and Wm h. man, formerly at Prietas and also al Lampazos, offered US accommodations We really hoped MT. Sweeny suffered DO discomfort worrying about us.
 We got AL Brockman to take in Eason, and the next morning the latter said he had kept Brockmal awake all night with his snoring, and he no doubt got himself exceedingly disliked. He said Brockman awoke him half dozen times and asked hin to cease his music.
 At Teachout's we learned that or the preceding day Thursday mar named J. $. Hopkins had been killed at sawmill about ten miles away, by falling upon the saw, which had liter ally cut him in two. The mill is il the PuertecitOs mountains, about eighteen miles from Nacosari, anc cuts lumber and timber for the Moo tezuma Copper Co. at Nacosar. It i: owned by M. w. A. Hopkins, brother of the man who was killed. Deceased

THE MONTGOMERY THEATRE. MT. Andrew Robson Appears in
 ssRichard Carvel."

"Richard CarveI' was the bill at the Mont gomery Theatre for two performances yester- day-matinee and night, The play was pre- scented with Andrew Robson as the star. MT. Robson is an English actor. making his first Southern tour.
 The performances yesterday seemed to please the audiences, which were fairly large. ''Richard CarveI' is Winston Churchill s novel, but the play is not to be considered as a fair representation of the work.
 Mir. Robson is supported by good cast. well balanced. with the possible exception of Miss Ruth E:erkely. who assumes the role of Dorothy Manners. Miss Berkely is wholly un- able to sustain her part and the charm which naturally should surround the several love speeches between Richard and Dorothy Is thus lost The play Is dated in t774, and begins with love scene in Maryland, but the au- ditor is taken to London to witness the machi- nations of an ambitious father and wealthy duke foiled in their efforts to fierce the daugh- ter into loveless marriage. Richard Carvel is the thorough hero of the play. Mir. Rob son seems equal to the roll. though the critics who have seen John Drew in the same role were rather severe on the young Englishman. He has the advantage, however. of clear voice and admirable stage appearance. and his work really makes the play what 1t 1t.
 The work of William McVay the Duke of Chartersea Is deserving of special mention. The scenery and costuming were very fine.

The oity presented a Festival appear ance yesterday. Flags flying and bunting waving in the breezes almost everywhere gave evidence that the great est undertaking of the year was at hand. The great Free Fall Festival under the auspices of the Montgomery Street Fair Association for 1901 will open tomorrow. There was a meeting of the Directors last night and President Rice called upon each committeeman to give an account of his stewardship and it was found to be "alrs well.' Every department is ready and in the morning there will be nothing that can now be foreseen to pre- vent the opening promptly. The direc- tors and managers inspected the Festival District last night and they were pleased with the advanced stage in which they found things everywhere, and they are assured that there will absolutely be no delay.
 There will be all the good features of the last two Fairs, with every objection able feature eliminated as far as possi- bis and that has been done to a great degree.
 The Bureau of Information was opened yesterday with Messrs. Well and Clapp on hand as usual full of life and hustle, and all who happened around were inn bued with the same spirit.

 Tf1e space for the free and paid shows has been marked off and on many of them the tents have been erected. Others will Ko up today and tonight and by tomorrow they will all be in place ready for the crowds. There will be more and better free shows and the paid shows this year arc aii to be of the highest character that will be well worth the time and ex- pense to see. All who see them once win recommend them to all who ask about them.
 The Vaudeville
 All preliminaries have been completed for the Grand Vaudeville show at the Auditorium. The theatrical manager who has rendevouzed the troupe at Chicago has telegraphed that the entire aggrega- ton of vaudeville talent Is now at that nlace and will start for Montgomery to- day The troupe, composed of some of the best and highest priced vaudeville artists on the stage, will, 1t Is expected, feature of the festival being complete success.
 The Auditorium has been specially ar ranged for the show and it will afford one of the most pleasant means Of pass ing an afternoon or night.
 The music of the Festival will be a special feature. Last year Montgomery had the famous American Band Of Chi cago of thirty pieces, and Greer's Con- cert Band of Murfreesboro, H., of twen- tv-fve pieces This year the managers hope to eclipse even this high standard.
