or tHe MOcUeZuIDd ulsbrlCJ, IuJO UudU of Sanuaripa, where, after the junc- tion with the Aros river, coming from Chihuahua, it is known as the Yaqui river until it's waters are lost in the Gulf of California. The Oposura river rises in the Oposura district, enters the Moctezuma a few miles above Placeritas and flows through the vest ern part of the latter district into Sa- huaripa, where 1t becomes continent of the Yaqui The San German is a small continent of the Oposura fiow- ing into the latter river a few miles miles above Cumpas Heading in the range of mountains lying within the bow of the Bavispe are the Baca de Huachi and Nacori rivers which flow southward in the eastern part of the river district and become tributary to the Bavispe near it's junction with the Aros. Another small continent is the Satachi which comes out of Chi huahua and cuts across the southeast corner of the Moctezuma district.
 These mountain rivers and their smaller continents, of which there are many, supply an unfailing abundance of water for irrigation of the arable lands in the valleys through which they flow, and there will be always plenty of water to irrigate every acre of cultivable land h the district, of which there are thousands of acres scattered here and there. The soil is very fertile, producing abundantly oranges. figs, vines, deciduous fruits, corn, wheat, barley, beans and other grains, tobacco, sugar cane, etc. Near Tepachi fine oranges are raised, as also at Oposura aud Cumpas. The fig is to be seen in all valleys Quite a quantity of flour is made in small mills, propelled by burros, but the greater part of that consumed in the district comes from the mill at Ores. A flour mill is one of the possibilities of the future.
 Fine pine forest cover the mountain sides, and all the lumber and timber necessary for construction or mining purposes is drawn therefrom.
 With abundant and regular rainfall the native grasses grow luxuriantly making splendid pasturage for cattle and giving the stockgrowing industry a value and importance second to that in no other district in the state of Sonora.
 The mineral wealth of the region i,, beyond description, and as yet is hardly understood. It contains mines with records of wonderful production going back century or more, and new mines but recently discovered are making records which are attracting great attention. A number of mines are being very successfully worked, and preparations are now under way for vigorously prosecuting work upon others.
 At Placeritas the Moctezuma Cop per Go. is now bringing to completion a splendid plant which will reduce at a profit four hundred tons of ore daily The mines are six miles away from the reduction works and and the ore is brought down by mar row gauge railway.
 At Churinibabi, about four miles north of PIaceritas, MT. A. J. Brandt has just completed fine stamp mill with a plate amalgamation and cy- anide reduction process which will haI5ie five tons Of ere daily. The mine has been worked very many years with most excellent results.

 Very close to the Sahuaripa line, about forty miles southeast of Opo- sura is the LampazOs mine, prop eTty with great record of produc- tion, now owned by Messrs. Lopez and Loaiza of HermosilIo, which is under management of MT. Oscar Rountree of La Colorado. The ores are silver bearing, very rich, and worked by lixiviatioD process.
 Since this article was prepared it is learned that MT. T. H. Baoz of Cor ralitos, has redenounced the old Ga. bilan mine, mentioned in the follow ing paragraph, has sunk shaft eighty feet, run drift at the bottom twenty eight feet, and Is preparing to work the mine on an extensive scale.
 Near the Lampazos mine is Fl Pro- montorio, an antigua" or ancient mine. with record as producer of rich copper ores which goes back one hundred years or more ago. Forty years ago it was worked by the father of one of the present owners, the ores were packed on the backs of burros to Ores, hauled thence by wagons to Guaymas and shipped to England for reduction, yielding handsome returns. The present owners are J. M. Avila of Hermosillo, and Fernando Sanchez of Oposura A company is now ne- gotiating to purchase the property.
 Other old mines with great records and traditions of production in former years are the Gabilan, near Tepachi; El Plomoso de Palo Blanco, in the same vicinity; and the San Pablo and San Pedro, near Nacosari.
 new company, consisting of east ern capitalists, has been recently formed which has bought some of the most valuable mines in the district and is projecting mines upon an ex- tensiye scale. MT. 0. w. Goodlander of Fort Scott, Kansas, is the presi- dent; Wm. Hattig of Kansas City, vice president; w. A. Rule of Kansas City, treasurer; and George F. Wood ward of Oposura, is general manager The corporation is known as the So- nora Development Company. The president, Mr. Goodlander, is heavily interested in banking, railroads and mines in Kansas. The vice president, Mir Hattig, is president of the Vest ern Sash & Development Co.,. of Kan sas City, and director in the Bank of Commerce in the same city. The treasurer, MT. Rule, is cashier of the same bank. MT. George F. Wood ward is we'll and widely known as one of the most enterprising and energetic business men in Sonora. He has re- sided twenty years at Oposura and has there made fortune.
 The Sonora Development Co.,, fram- ed as above described, has number of very valuable properties in the dis trict, and they have now upon the ground MT. J. E. Lawrence, a noted mining expert, who is Investigating the mines, testing the ores, etc, with view to determining the best method for working the properties and reduc- ing the ores. He expresses himself as more than satisfed-in fact surprised at the wonderful showing of ores made in the company's properties.
 One of the Sonora Development Co.'S properties is the Nacosari Cop per Queen, immediately adjacent to the big copper property of the Mocte- znma Conner Co.,. near Placeritos. It includes twenty-six pertenencias-
