Distinguished Mexican Officials Left
 for Tucson Last Night

Colonel Juan Fenochio and Lieuten
 ant Colonel Emilio Kosterlitzky of the
 Mexican Gendarmeria Fiscal who
 have been visiting Phoenix for two or
 three days, presumably for the purpose
 of buying horses for the Mexican army,
 left last night for Tucson and from
 there they will probably go to Cana
 nea and Magdalena, though before
 returning to the latter point it is likely 1 they will go to El Paso, says the PhH.
 nix Republican of May g. Colonel
 FeMochio, who is an intimate personal
 friend of President Diaz, may visit to
 the City of Mexico before returning g home.
 Both gentlemen express themselves as delighted with Arizona and particu- larly this city and valley, which Colo nel Fenochio refers to as paradise They visited Governor Brodie in com pany with former Governor McCord, and called on many other gentlemen, forming mutual and very agreeable acquaintances. It was noted, how ever, by the close observing, that very little attention was seemingly given to the buying of horses, though Consul Pima said they had looked at some and 1t Is understood both gentlemen expect to longer visit. It IS believed by one former citizen of Mexico who left there very suddenly and who has made himself very prominent in Phoenix, un- tie e.ently that they were not looking for horses so much. perhaps as they might be for persons of his sort However, if they were looking for him he did nothing to facilitate their search.
 Senor Au5ustin Pima resident Mex 1can consul here, yesterday afternoon gave luncheon at Coffee APs place ! in honor of the distinguished visitors, Colonel Wilson, delegate to congress, Colonel McClinUock and Captain Alex ander also beirg guests.
 Before leaving Colonels Fenochio ! and Kosterlitzky visited all their new ly made friends who could be seen in ! the short time at their disposal, thank i ed them for courtesies and extended . hearty invitations to call on them when visiting Mexico. They were profuse in their expressions of regard for the hospitality shown them and loud in their praise of the business | enterprise and energy evident in this country. The only subject of conver- 5ation that seemed to oppress them was the mention of Yaqui troubles, which they say have been outrageously "rhere is no Yaqui war" said Colonel Kosterlitzky ''The Yaquis have been thoroug ghly subdued."

F. R. Francis in Mexico.

In further evidence that English capital Is now being largely moved in the direction of the Republic of Mex leo, we learn that apart from the sale of the Dolores to the Venture Corper- ation of London, another we'll known property in the Zacatecas district will shortly change hands through the medium of the distinguished mining engineer, F. R. Francis, also of Lon don, who represents powerful Anglo French financial syndicate now giving their almost undivided attention to the development of Mexican mines. Mir. Francis large experiences in South Africa, Australia, and the Western States, places him in foremost posi- ton as an authority on the principal mining regions of the world, and we are not surprised that he has been actively engaged during the past year in pursuing strict researches for desir- able and productive mines iH many parts of Mexico The recent success ful Notation of the San Francisco del Gro Mining company was largely due to his financial influence. We also learn that two of Mir Francis experts are at present exploring the western miaing section of the State of Oaxaca for further investments by his group who are alike interested in gold, silver, or copper properties, if of good repute and extent.

NOT so SERIOUS AS
WAS SUPPOSED
Tobacco Men Declare That
the Tone of the Market
is Good and PROMISING

Upon further investigation 1t appears
that conditions on the tobacco market
with reference to the bright crop are not
so serious as were at first supposed
The statements made yesterday were the
result of an interview with prominent
leaf man, but it seems that there was a
misunderstanding OF the account he gave.
1t Is recognized as unfortunate that 80
much tobacco was planted this year, but
1t is felt, as stated yesterday. that there
will be reaction. AS a whole. however,
the tone of the tobacco market is de-
clared to be good and promising.
In connection with this matter the fol-
lowing statement was made yesterday by
we'll known local Arm. 1t gives a fair
and accurate statement OF the condition:
Il think the article In the morning
paper is calculated to be misleading. In
the first place. I do not know of single
tobacco man In Virginia, North Carolina
or South Carolina who has failed or Is
embarrassed by reason of being In the
leaf toba eco business In past year or
Sc or at present, Some of the tobacco
men may have been hurt by dealing In
stocks. as has been the case with others.
but we know of no failures among them
even on that account.
The situation at present Is not with
cut some brightness. The last crop was
good one. and we think will be wanted
as long rs it Is to be had, being largely
composed of good, clean, sweet stock.
Again, thecrop of 1902 was very large
one, being at least 70 to Is million of
pounds larger than the crop of 1901, The
large concerns bought heavily, and in
view of that are really not in position
to handle this crop a. present. as they
would wish for sake OF the farmers.
The dealers also have good stock OF
really desirable tobaccos, and 1t may be
they will have to hold it for some time
to be able to realize fair values, ara
think they are reconcled to that fact.
] know of none who have or are willing
to sacrifice their stock.
80 do the leaf buyer Justice, be he
independent or buying for any of the
allied companies, he prefers paying a
good price to the farmer, and nothing
pleases a tobac eco man more than to pay
good price for good tobacco and get
a good price for It.
1T is very unfortunate that so much
tobacco was planted this year. even
though there Is only about three-fourths
OF a crop. as the farmers We're fully
aware of the size CT the 1902 crop, and all
know that the question OF supply and
demand governs prices
If our frmer friends In the bright
belt will just make up their minds to
skip next year to a large extent, so far
as planting tobacco is concerned, we
think 1t will be not only to his own in
teFest but to the interest of all concerned
IN the handling of bright tobacco
