Competent Opinion.

"Nothing can prevent the State of Sonora from becoming the scene of unequalled mining activity said J. H. Andrews, who has just returned after an inspection of the Sonora gold fields. MT. Andrews is interested in Tamaulipas, and ii is not improbable that he will re- turn to Sonora and invest in min ing property there.
 "It is one of the richest states Tn the Republic" he continued "end merely needs few men who are not afraid to go in there and dew elop the field. There was time when it was mistake when miners said that it was worth mans life to open mine in the land ot the Yaquis, but that time has passed. It is true that the Indians are still trifie ugly, but they no longer create the disturbance they once did. Under the influence of the persistent war the government mas made upon them, the members of the tribe seem to have decided that they had better be good" ,"
 According to Mr Andrews q great many have realized already that there is a great abundance of gold hidden in the Sonora hills, and are now there getting 1t out. It is one of the principal drawbacks to mining it, But the railroads will come soon enough" said he, "when it is discovered that the state is being worked to any extent. l believe there are more undlscov- cred deposits of gold there than the people of Mexico dream of. It Is everywhere. The Yaquis know this, and that is one reason they have been so warike. ."-Monterey News.

A Miner Needs Perseverance.

To succeed in mining a man must not only possess the necessary means. but must also have an abundant supply of what is com monly called grit-the courage to go ahead in the face of discourage ment, and often contrary to the dictates of experience. Scores of instances are quoted where mines have been abandoned in despair after large expenditures; another comes along and with a few feet more work develops a rich produ- cing property. So often has this been the case that it seems almost the rule.
 Fortunately few eases are so sad as that of Michael Brennan, an educated and refined lrishman, who in early days was sent from New York to Grass Valley, Cal, to superintend the operations of the Mt. Hope Mining Company. on Massachusetts Hill. At first sue cessful, his operations began to prove disastrous, and after two years of struggle against adverse fortune, he was driven to despera- tion and took the lives not only of himself, but of his wife and three small children. Later, another company took hold. The proyerbial another blast" was fired, the ledge was uncovered, and the mine is still in successful operation, after having produced $4,000,00O or $5,- 100000.

COFFEE AND TEA.

Few people realize what an enorm-
Gus amount of tea and coffee is con-
sumed yearly in the world. Accord
ing to some statistics recently COM
piled by British colonial authorities,
the export of tea in the year 1900 from
China, India, Ceylon. Japan and Java
amounted to something like 100000
900 pounds. In the same year the
exports of coffee from the eight great
producing countries must have
amounted to three times this total, or
1,S00,000,000 pounds. The United
States is the greatest consumer of
coffee, as we take about 40 per cent
Of the entire coffee production of the
world. With tea, however, the United
Kingdom is the greatest consumer
the figures for 1900 amounting to no
less than six pounds per head of popu-
lation, an increase of about one pound
per head in the last fifteen years
There is no other country in Europe,
with the exception of Holland, where
the consumption of tea exceeds per
capita figures of one pound per year.
In Russia and the United States the
consumption is just above one pound
per capita, or only about a sixth of
the per capita consumption of the
United Kingdom To make this
statement even more striking, it may
be said that the total consumption of
tea in the United Kingdom exceeds
that of all the countries of Europe
and the United States combined.
Great Britain may therefore, be fairly
called nation of tea drinkers, while
the favorite beverage in our own
country, as we have shown, is coffee.
In 1900 we imported almost $780,
100000 pounds of coffee and less than
100000 pounds of tea. Very pos
sibly the consumption of tea in this
country has been checked by the ten
cents pound custom duty imposed as
war tax, and, now that this tax is
to be removed, it Is probable that the
tea imports will increase materially.
Last year we imported some 10000, 900
pounds of tea, which was actually less
than our imports either in the year
1896 or the year 1897. Imports of
coffee, which come in free, have in
creased materially since those years,
for some S50000,000 pounds. were
brought into this country last year,
against 590,000O00 pounds in 1896 and
738, 100000 pounds in 1897. OF our
agricultural imports, coffee now ranks
second, sugar being the most valuable
of all our agricultural imports. Tea
Is ninth in the list, being exceeded by
hides and skins, silk, vegetable fibres,
fruits and nuts, tobacco and WOOL

DRIVING HORSES.
What Ella Wheeler Wilcox Says on
Kindness to Our Dumb Friends.

This is the season of driving. l want
to say word to all men and women who
own or are in the habit of hiring horses.
DO not let the binders press against
the eyes of your horse. 1t affects the
sight and produces blindness. Open the
binders as much as possible-gradually
If the animal has been always used to
them-but with a little more freedom of
vision each day you can soon accustom
the eyes to freer vision.
Make il your own case. Put pair of
pasteboard box covers each side of your
eyes leaving only two or three inches in
front Open and go about your work for
a few hours. You will realize the dis
comfort, the strained effect upon your
vision and the increased nervousness
better by this personal experiment than
by anything l can write about it.
Then try the overdraw check on your
self. Take a pipestem between your lips
sideways. put a cord on either end. and
your chin well up in the air. and then
go to work. Try climbing hill with a
heavy bundle in your arms.
After one experiment you will always
think to loosen your horses check rein
going up hill, or when he stands.
Don't jerk the reins and scream at
your horse. Animals have nerves
horses and cats are especially nervous.
and loud voices. sudden movements and
irritable tones injure them.
I must say our churches and our Sun
day schools are terribly remiss in using
their influence regarding the treatment
of animals. I doubt II twice in a year
anything is said to children or adults in
our churches to make them think of
their duty to the dumb. dependent
brothers of ours.-Dumb Animals.

mary, accompanying them for a short
visit.
Heavy rain in the forenoon pre-
vented the meeting of Pomona Grange
as it was announced for last week
Thursday. None OF the officers who
were to come from Brattleboro APP
peared. The rain ceased about 10
o'clock, so that some came from neigh
boring towns, and good part of the
members here were on hand for the
afternoon. ]. H. Clark presided and
some part Of the program, with i'm
provised exercises, was given. Dea-
con E. G. Ranney of Homer, n. Y, who
has recently joined the order, was
present and spoke in a very interesting
manner of some of the general as
