THROUGH SONORA AND sINALcA.
A great feature Of the land of
the Mocteumas is its haciendas, or
country estates. The term may
describe either a stamp-mill or a
cattle ranch, farm or plantation,
but always indicates a landed en-
terprise owned by one man with
his family, employing many natives
and producing according to soil
and cline, large revenues. On our
way south, we have found a great
many Of them, some raising cattle
and corn, others of richer resources,
wheat, barley, peas, and beans
others again still more favored by
nature, cotton, rice, sugar-cane, cot
fee, rubber and other things tropi
cal. Some have distilleries and also
make mescal.
In the valley of Mexico, where
the maguey grows abundantly, the
predominating business is the max
ing of pulque, that famous bever-
age that is bought into Mexico by
the train load.
Day after day while riding along
we see coming in sight, aqueducts-
bridges, arcadas and chapels nest
ling in some chosen spot off the
road like colossal milestones by
which to measure our days journey.
Quite often we stay at this one and
that one, according to how the in
tcrpreter succeeds in arranging,
sometimes for night only; at 9th
ers, when necessary and with con-
ditions favorable, for day or two.
A good many we visited for the
purpose of collecting data. Some
of our best times we had on ha-
ciendas. Here we have learned
more about the people and customs,
resources and conditions And we
find as we go on our journey that
there is hardly another object found
in this county that presents so
many points of interest or an equal
occasion Tor observation, study and
speculation, as the hacienda. In
fact much of the matters polite,
economic and social can never be
understood save through it. 1t
simply puts the interpretation on
old Mexican life in variety of its
bearings, A legacy Of Spanish
times IL has retained its ancient
feudal aspects. Formerly a tread

SHOULD BE UP.To DATE.

1t is no fault of the GUARDIAN if
the Copper Era has no means of
keeping posted on legislative mat
ters, neither'is it our fault if it
misleads itself through reading the
dispatch in the GUARDIAN stating
the bill providing for the removal
of county seats had passed the
Legislature.
Its hilarious editorial which says
that the county seat will be re-
moved to Clifton before the ex-
piration of the present year clearly
shows that the Era has failed to
keep posted. Our Phoenix COR
respondent informs us that the bill
provides that the election for the
removal of the county seat can be
called only at general election.
The Era is again in error when
it holds Stafford alone responsi bic
for no county division. 1t is true
a majority of the people of the
valley are against it, but even if
they favored it, it could not have
been accomplished by the present
Legislature if the solemn pledge
of the Democratic party is to be
regarded. The Era evidently mis-
judges the honor Of the members
of the Legislature. Mr.. Shannon,
who lives in Clifton has declared
in Phoenix repeatedly, that with
his consenty the division of Graham
eonnty should not be considered.
Messrs. Kimball and Ijams stand
on the same ground. The Era
overlooks Democratic principals
entirely when it attempts to
persuade Legislative members to
overlook party pledges. Stand by
the party Bros Bull & Leonard il
will win IN the long run.
There will be no election on
county seat removal until the next
general election. 81,
We do not pretend to say
what the people of the county
will do on division BY the time
the next election comes around.
1t may be possible that all Of the
county will be in favor of giving
Clifton u county by that time, and
again it may he possible that Clif
ton will not want il by that time.

Tho fact is that the Mormons, as
a sect, have long since abandoned
the doctrine of polygamy. Their

Talks A bout Bremen Gas.

Jacob Gardener, of Bremen, was in
town Wednesday and informs that it is
true that gas has been found at that
place. but the prospects have been
somewhat exaggerated by the report
sent out bv newspaper correspondents.
At a depth of $40 feet gas was discov-
cred and when match was touched,
it shot up over two feet The work
men estimate the pressure at about TO
lbs. to the square inch. 1t Is the pur-
pose of the stockholders to drill deeper
into the trenton rock and shoot the
we'll. As it costs over $500 to shoot a
well, they want to feel pretty we'll salts
fled before making the shot.
Trenton rock was not found at the
former we'll until they had reached a
depth of nearly 800 feet 1t was sur
prise to all when they reached trenton
rock in the present well at depth of
but little over $50 feet.
Bremen citizens were considerably
excited Wednesday and some are very
hopeful that they will have a good sup
ply of gas.

Must Repair Roads.

The following letter has been re-

speaks for itself:
Washington. ID. c., Sept. Is, 1901
The Postmaster, Plymouth, Ind.
Dear Sir-Reports recently received
from your office show that the roads
travelled by rural carriers are in bad
condition.
You will please notify the patrons of
routes Nos. l, and 3, that the
present lack of attention to these
roads, will, if continued, be
likely to endanger the perm snency of
the rural free delivery service there.
A rural carrier cannot possibly make
regular time or perform efficient service
over poor roads, particularly during the
winter and spring months. The sum-
mer is the time for mending these
highways. which are really serving ss
post roads, and which should always be
psssable for the transport of the mail
1t is the hope of the department that
the patrons who are receiving the bene-
fit OF the service appreciate it, and that
they will promptly cooperate in an
effort to repair sll deficient portions be-
fore winter sets in, so that the perma-
nency of rural free delivery service
may be ensured. Respectfully,

Aim of An Anarchist.

Dr. Karl Freitsg, editor of the Michi-
gan City Freie Larze Free Lancel,
says in leading editorial that the pro-
gram of the anarchists is about as fol
lows: Gall rulers must be killed, all
cease to exist, all laws must be abolish
ed, no family ties shall exist, and
people will meet and live together like
dogs. And to create this GLORIOUS"
condition in the world, dynamite, re-
volver, poison and the dagger must per
form their "libersting" mission. -
Whoever stands for such principles
ought to be excluded at once from
human society.
