Il few of the natives at work all along the river, but they do not seem to exert themselves; for as wages here are only 37t cents, sil yer, per day, they seem to think that if they can get fifty cents to one dollar gold in one hour, the day is we'll spent.
 The greatest drawback to pro prietors in this section is the scar city of water in the mountains and too much water along the rivers for placering and then again the distance to market are items to be considered, as transportation alone to the nearest markets is from $40 to $50 per ton. Though that will probably be overcome in the near future, as the Kansas City Mexico x Orient Railroad (Stil- wells line) has been surveyed and located from Topolobampo Bay via Fuerte, Agua Caliente de Baca. and the Setentrion canon to the summit of the Sierra Madre.
 The grading of this road is com pleted from Topolobampo to Fuer- te, distance of eighty-fve miles. We met with Messrs. Jennings and Lasell, who have a grading contract between Fuerte and Agua Caliente. They have about three hundred men at work. They informed us that there were other contractors along the line and that their in structions were to push the work as fast as possible. Mir Gas is the superintendent of construction for this end of the line.

MINING CLAIMS IN SONORA.
Some information Regarding the Ex-
 penses in Locating them.


 UREs, Sonora, April "A. 1902 MR. ALLEN T. BIRD, Nogales, Ari-
 hona.
 DEAR SIR:
 An article published in THE OASIS of April l2th, prepared by Briton Davis, and entitled 'Invest- ments in Mexico," is very good as far as it goes. But would-be in- vesters in mines want to know what it costs to locate d claim and get title thereto.
 What is commonly called a claim in Mexico is one hundred meters square, and any person can locate as many claims in one location as he pleases. It takes about eight claims to correspond with the claims in the United States in superficial area. The lines of q claim extend down perpendicularly and not as in the states.
 Different districts charge dlI1er- ent prices for locating a claim. Thus in Ures he cost is a few cents over BPS, while in Magdalena and some other districts you pay S3S. l do not know why there is such a difference. In due time after the location the claim must be sur yeyed. For this purpose you con tract with surveyor and get it done as cheaply as possible. It usually costs from $100 to $300 to get the work done. Then you pay $10 a pertenencia or claim for title, and $2 stamps for the deed.

sands gallons per minute in this the dry season.
 All grains and tropical fruits flourish we'll here. The district contains about 1000 inhabitants principally engaged in agriculture and commerce.
 About 5000 mules, 1000 burros, 250 OK carts and so wagons of ten mules each are engaged in the freighting business. One day on trail between Choix and Batopilas we counted over 400 mules and burros carrying freight for the Ba- topilas Mining Company, of Chi huahua.
 About 100000 fanegas of corn, 10000 fanegas of beans, 10000 fa- negas of peas, 7,5OO0,0O0 pounds of sugar, 3,000,000 pounds of panocha, 150,000 pounds of cheese, 375,000 pounds of lard and 250,000 gallons of mezcal are produced yearly in the district.
 MT. William V. Lamphar, of Agua Caliente, is one of the largest producers of mezcal in the state. the output of his still being about one-half of the production of the district-and a finer quality could not be found in the Republic. He employs about 120 men and keeps constantly upon the road about l5O mules delivering mezcal in Batopi- las, Alamos, Choix, Fuerte, Topolo- bampo, Agiabampo and other points. He also manufactures from the mezcal fiber rope, saddle blan kets, mats, etc.

When the title comes they collect S6 for delivery of the title, in some districts. This custom has not been followed in tres, but in Mag dalena it is adhered to. After this you pay to the government $10 year for each pertenencia.
 Ten claims make fair location. Thus two claims wide and five long, making a location 660 feet wide by 1850 feet long. The taxes would be $200 a year, Mexican, on such a location.
 The present law is great inn provement on the old law, which was in vogue before 1892; but there is chance for much improvement in the present law, which if properly brought to the notice of the govern ment, l have no doubt would be acted upon immediately. Some

LOCAL AND OUTSIDE CAPITAL.

$3.50
It is very true indeed that
in every community there is
always a demand that local
inducements be made which
will attract outside capital, in
order to assist local develop
ment. And it is equally true
in some cases that the con-
tinual call for outside capital
is often too loud, too urgent,
and too monotonous for the
good of the community. Our
attention was very forcibly
called to this matter a few
days ago by an article in the
Newbern Journal and we
must,say that there are pany
townsand cities in theBouth'
whose Chambers of Com.
merce, whose newspapers, and
whose business men, in try
ing to attract this outside
capital, overlook the fact that
very much Of what they seek,
namely, unemployed money,
is to be found in their own
town or city?
There is no question, but
that today, there are many
Southern towns and cities,
whose people and the local
business organizations are
trying to induce outside
money to came in, and build
them up, which are really
congested already with
money, which is held in their
banks, or else placed at in
terest, which is helping some.
nearby town to build up.
1t is the active dollar, put
into local circulation, which
does the developing, and
while there may be thousands
of dollars in a city's bank
vaults, and the bank state
ments may indicate prospect
ty, as to dollars on deposit,
there may be an utter lack OF
development or progress in
the community.
It is the shut up dollar in
the vault, or put out of cir
culation in the purchase of
outside securities, stocks or
bonds, which is in contrast
to the active dollar, going it's
rounds in a community.

Girls Leave Baltimore For China
But Are Overtaken.

Baltimore. May 30-Young girls are
being procured in Baltimore for dens
in China, according to the police, and
but for the prompt action of the officers
two more would have been by this time
crossing the Pacific, never to return.
They were bound for Shanghai in
charge Of a woman, and were arrested
at Vancouver yesterday aboard the
steamship Empress of India. just as she
was about to sail for Shanghai.
One of the girls is Beatrice Helling,
beautiful, and 16 years old. The other
is known as Rosie Black Her own sis
ter. Sadie Black, the police say. was
taking the girls to the Chinese city The
Helling girl is the daughter of a saloon
keeper, formerly Of Eutaw street, be-
tween Fayette and Baltimore and who
lived on Milton place. but who has now
left town. The Black girl boarded with
her.
A few weeks ago there arrived in this
city Sadie Black, a dashing looking Wo-
man. loaded with diamonds and money.
She had come from China, and admitted
that she owned a fine house in Shanghai
She said money was as plentiful as wa
ter there. 1t did not take her long to
dazzle her sister and the young HellinE
girl with her promises. They left to-
gether, and all trace Of them was lost.
After they departed Prof. Farson, who
was interested in the Helling girl, and
the latter's mother reported the matter
to the police Marshal Farnan at once
wired the authorities of san Francisco
and Vancouver, and this morning re-
ceived word that they had been arrest
ed.
The Helling girl is charged with being
a runaway minor. She made a desper-
ate resistance at the steamer. and de-
clared she had left home to marry q
young man who was formerly her
fathers private secretary.
Sadie Black, the police say, may be
brought back here on the grave charge
of enticing minors.

OFFER FOR CATERPILLARs.

Expected at 10 Cents a Quart.

Kingston, N. Y, May 3O-This region
of the Hudson River valley is again in
tested with the brown caterpillars that
caused so much distress and damage
last summer and fall. Hewitt Boyce, a
prominent business man of this city
thinking to secure the destruction Of the
worms in the neighborhood Of his gar
den and orchard. advertised few days
ago that he would pay 10 cents for ev-
cry quart jar filed with caterpi1lars that
was brought to him. Now, after three
days, the jars filed with the wriggling
insects are pouring in upon him, and he
has already paid for 700 of them. to the
tune of $40, while every hour of the day
men, women and children, young and
old. are coming in with their game.
Each jar contains about 1900 worms
and nearly a million of the insects have
thus been destroyed in three days. Mr.
Boyce is still paying. although the bust
ness far exceeds his expectations.
