 convey the information that serious ! trouble has again broken out with the iaqui Indians. lt appears that Gen. Torres attempted to corral a large
 number of the Indians t1 take them | into the interior, hoping that the sepa- ration from the native haunts would | quel the warlike spirit which breaks | out spasmodically in the Yaqui river country. Don 1gnacio Gaxiola. a prom inont rancher living at Siris, the set | tlemo mt close to Hermosillo, was killed by the Yaquis a few days ago, his horse stolen and his ranch robbed. A son of Don Ignacio GaxiJla is a messenger on the Cannon Ball, and when the news reached him he went at once to Mexl c0, Charley Levin taking his place on the Cannon Ball. The Yaqus are flee
 ing to the mountains and the situation
 is regarded as very serious. The plan to c-'rral the Yaquis was opposed by
 the merchants of Hcrmosillo, but Gen. Torres received an order from the gov crnment to take four hundred federal troops and carry out the movement which has proven s1 disastrous. It is believed that the Yaqui war has just begun, since large numbers of Indians
 who have been peaceful heretofore
 have taken up arms against the gov

 The Journal Democrat is informed on
 the best of authority that the Colorado
 Fuel and Iron company. which for some time has been drilling for coal at Carthage. six miles from San Antonio,
 has amply demonstrated that coal ex-
 ists in such abundancc as to fully jus
 tify the establishment of extensive
 works. One vein four feet thick has
 been tapped, and there Is every indica-
 ton of an unlimited supply of the pre- clous black diamonds. The coal is of excellent quality, and what is of per
 haps more importance just right for
 cooking. There isn't at present a ton
 Of Cookin coal to be obtained from the mines of the territory. The small vein
 at Madrid has entirely given out. and
 the extensive coking works in Madrid
 are operated with cCal brought from
 Colorado, IL is the intention of the company to build branch to connect
 with the Santa Fe at San Antonio In the meantime developing work will be vigorously prCsecuted. and coal wtll be
 hauled to San Antonio for shipment. The new mines will find ready mar ket for every pound of their product. Both coke and coal are badly ne5 ded in
 the territory and in Arizona and New Mexico. and the discovery promises much for the future good Of that sec ton of the territory. The new areas are near the mincs abard med some years ago by tho Santa Fo company Albuquerque Jou!na! Democrat
