RICH MINES.
An Interesting Interview on the Resources
 of the state of Sonora.
(Brom Mexican IIerald)

Frank J. Spare, superintendent of the Mulatos Gold Mining com pany, of the State of Sonora, was in the city Monday on business con nected with his mines. The Mula- tos is one of the three specill min ing concessions granted by the Mex ican government, which are now being issued, the other two being the Batopilas, the property of Hon. A. R. Shepherd, and the Pinos All tos, operated by the National Bank.
 The Mulatos concession was pur- chased in May, last, by company composed mostly of Franklin Pa., capitalists. Two New York men are interested in the property. Since the present company took over the mines they have spent SI5o,ooo gold, in improvements and machin- cry. They now have I25 ton stamp mill in operation and work has just been begun on 25o ton cyanide plant. A cart road to the mines, I2o miles long and to cost $Ioo. 900, gold, is planned and work will be begun on it in the near fu- ture. The company has practically unlimited resources and just as much machinery will be put in as the mines demand. The ore aver ages about s per ton, gold, though some streaks are very rich and run high in value. The ore is ledge ore and is practically inexhaustible.
 Several officers and stockholders oi the company are now at Guay- mas awaiting the return ot MT. Spare. They are (. ". Mackey, the attorney of the company, New York attorney and capitalist we'll known as an organizer of trusts. (Mr. Maokey organized the great brewery trust, the lead trust, the axtrust and other trusts); J w Row land, of Franklin, Pa, trustee of the company; J. D. Downing, of Franklin Pa, another trustee of the Company; Robert McCalmont and R. D. Kennerdal, both of Franklin Pa, stockholders.
 MT. Spare talked interestingly of affIirs in Sonora. He said:
 DEVELOPMENT OF SONORA.
 "The state of Sonora is being developed more rapidly than any other state in the republic. 1 state this as fact and of my own know ledge. 1 have been in the republic ior a number of years and have vis- ited every mining camp of any consequence in it. I wish to detract nothing from the wonderful pro- gess being made by other states or from the richness of their mines, but Sonora is undoubtedly the ricil- est state in mineral and is being de- veloped more rapidly than any other state, The big companies who

saying the least about II aud TOT that reason the work actually being done in the state is little known or even heard about.
 GREAT NEED IS A RAILROAD.
 When we get railroad through, the state of Sonora will become one of the greatest mining regions in the world. The ore is there and it is well known by capitalists, but the great problem is that of trans portation. The difficulty ot getting a railroad across the mountains from Pacific coast port to the min ing region has up to the present time discouraged every capitalist who has thought oft. That there will be road some day is not to be doubted, but 1t will be one of the greatest engineering ieats ever at tempted.
 MINING COMPANIES WILLING TO
 HELP.
 Every mining company in the state of Sonora would probably be willing to help the builders of such road very literally. The company which l represent would doubtless be willing to give such road $2oo, 900 or $500, ,ooo, gold, outright. We are going to spend SIoo, 1000, gold on cart road, which would be unnecessary if such a road were built and of course a railroad would be of greatly more importance to us than mere cart road. There are half dozen other mining com panies, composed of American cap italists, who are working in the state who would be willing to do as much toward building railroad. It isn't so much mater of money as it is of getting the road across the mountains.
 WORK ON STILwELL'S ROAD.
 "I heard from an authoritative source just few days ago that work is actually being done on the Kan sas City Mexico and Orient, Stil- wells road, at Top olobampo. Two or three hundred laborers with picks and shovels are now at work grading the road"
 This certainly looks like business on the part of MT. Stilwell. It would appear from this that he intends, possibly, constructing the seventy five miles of his road necessary to keep his concession and to prevent the forfeiture of his guarantee to MT: Creel from Topolobam DO in- stead of from the other end of the road, which is now as far as Con- cepcion.
 Continuing MT. Spare said, and his statement was yesterday verified by HERALD reporter in a conversa- ton with Norton Chase, of New York YYorlks, attorney for the Greene Con- solidated Copper company aud in- terested in the road: "The railroad from Naco, on the border of Ari-
The oasis., 1901-05-25

zona, to the Cananeas, a distance oi thirty-eight miles, is being pushed rapidly. Three or four hundred laborers are at work grading. The rails have arrived and the road will be completed in the near future ''
 It may be added that the mines of the Greene Consolidated Copper company in the Cananea mountains in northern Sonora, are evidently bonanzas. The company is accord ing to the statement published in the HERALD the other day, paying $2oo, ,ooo gold, per month. The last ten thousand shares have been offer ed for sale at $40 per share. The par value of the shares is SIo, each. The shares are offered to raise money for the completion of the great Bessemer plant at the mines. HUNTINGTON ROAD TO BE BUILT.
 "The Huntington road from Or tiz, a station on the Sonora railway which runs from Nogales to Guay- mas, to Barranca, in the great coal region owned by the Huntington estate, will, from present indications soon be pushed to completion, continued MT. Spare. "It is eighty miles from Guaymas to Ortiz and the Huntington road is to be I2o miles long. A number of South. ern Pacific officials visited the vicin- ity not more than ten days ago, am informed that they intend be- ginning work on the road almost immediately. The great, coal fields owred by the Huntington estate are the most important in the repub. lie. There is an inexhaustible supply of coal in the mountains which is only awaiting railroad tc get 1t out.
 NATURAL COKE FIELDS.
 ''In addition to an abundance ol coal there are what apears to be inex haustible natural coke fields in northern Sonora. These are also awaiting the advent of railroad tc make them supply of fabulous wealth. The whole state is miner alized, It is no wonder that Amer. ican capital is being attracted thither.
 "The Mexican government is we'll aware of the importance of getting railroad through that sec ton. As is we'll known it has offer ed the most liberal terms to any person who will build such a road and has made every effort for years past to interest capitalists in the un- dcrtaking. This is all age for over coming natural obstacles and some genius will set a railroad over those mountains some day, as surely as there are mountains there"

would win out because of techni-
cal violations of intricate provis-
ions. The general advertising
agencies know that they have the
country publisher at this disadvan-
tage. They represent the sadver-
tiser and themselves and ihaveano
ambition except to increase their
own profits and make the best
possible showing to their client to
hold his business.
Who has made these agencies
what they area The country pub
Usher. What capital have these
agencies had usually to start iwithl
None whatever except desk room
and atypewriter. The publishers
of the United States send all of
their papers to them free and thus
their capital stock is made up. If
they have one client who spends
100000 per year in general ad-
vertising they have sufficient with
which to found a general agency.
They collect their bills from him
every month and then by vigorous
correspondence in many instances
keep the money for years and
maybe forever. l am told that one
of the large general advertising
agencies for many years has never
owed the country publisher less
than $4,000 at any one time.
That amount the general agency
considers worth $4,000 or $4,000
per year for use in. the bank. The
country publisher as a rule fur
nishes this money on which the
general advertising agency grows
rich. Knowing that the general
advertising agency represents so
many publishers the agency is
able to command allkinds of favors
from railroads and other, properties.
1t is an astounding fact that
there is not an agency in the
United States representing the
newspaper. From this except the
special agencies established by the
large newspapers. The general
agency represents the advertiser
and has every interest in beating
down the publishers prices and
no interest whatever in helping
the publisher. The abuses con-
.nected with the present advertis-
ing agency business are almost
too numerous to mention and the
country publishers are not the
only chumps. not the only suckers.
Recently a general advertising
agency backing patent medicine
has asked for a credit of eighteen
months or more before one cent
should be paid. This calls to mind
the fact that the country publisher
has been such an easy mark for
the advertising agency that the
agency has been jealous of the
profits of the medicine man, and
in some instances has taken the
job of putting the medicine on the
market itself. Three or four of
these most widely sold proprietary
medicines are owned and controll-
ed by general advertising agencies
therefore it can be seen that the
general agency is plucking the
country publisher two ways, as a
medicine man and as an adver-
tising agency. They catch the
country publisher both coming
and going.
Country publishers do not sue
ceed because they do not work
hard enough; because they are
lazy. The nature of their business
enables them to put it off until
tomorrow. Publishers fail because

AsnNA@>sS AhO'A st sNNA~ 49,
livered at the goth Annual Session
of the Illinois Press Association in
Chicago, January 81, 1901, by Lafe
Young of Des Moines, Iowa.
Ordered printed and sent to every
newspaper in the State of Illinois:
Nearly everybody has made
money out of what is called gen
eral advertising excepting the
country publisher. This is true
because the country publisher has
been neglectful of his rights and
opportunities, he has elected to
stand alone. Great advertisers
make their contracts in a lump
with what is called the general
advertising agencies. Therefore
these agencies for years have con-
trolied the situation. They have
grown to be too strong for the in
dividual publisher to conte nd
against them. They take large
contracts and have the entire
country to cover and if they fail
to get one country paper they will
get another by their low offers
They in a measure coerce the
country publisher by the power
which is given them by the great
and systematic general advertiser.
They do not deal justly with the
country publisher, certainly not in
many instances. The form of con-
tract arranged by the general ad-
vertising agencies is gotten up to
convict and to defeat the ends of
justice. Such contracts usually
make such requirements as to,po-
sitiop,, condition, etc. as to make
their correct fulfillment impossible.
1t is, evident that some at least of
these complicated requirements
are put in not expecting that they
can be fulfilled but expecting them
to enable them to secure adver-
tisipg free of charge. have been
told that advertisements that are
published in wrong positions are
usually paid for by the advertiser
and not paid for'by the advertising
agency, thus increasing the profits
of the agency in addition to the IS
per cent. which the general agency
demands from the country pub
Usher. Even if the advertising
agency gives his client the benefit
,of the wrong position advertising
it is an outrage upon the publisher,
because it often happens that the
sc-called wrong position is as good
in every way as the position re-
quired by the contract. The ad-
vertising agencies often times
wear the publisher out in prolong-
ed correspondence in relation to
wrong position advertisements,
keeping the correspondence going
until the editor dies or the paper
changes hands for some other rea-
son. 1t is probably fair to say
that the country publisher is
beaten out of half that he is en-
titled to from the general agencies
upon one technicality and another.
| do not know in the commercial
world anything SO full of wrongs
as the general advertising agency,
nor do 1 know of a class of men SO
unmindful of their own rights and
their own power in this respect as
the country publisher. The gen
eral advertising agencies have ex
pert letter writers whose business
it seems to be to delay settlement
and put off final payment. These
agencies are far removed and diff
ficult to deal with. If the pub
Usher should sue one of them for
