 Upon the same belt to the north of Huacal mountain may be men, toned La Perdida," Eureka, " Isabella" owned by George Wood ward which are good prospects, with fine surface shuwings.
 NEAR THE RAILWAY
 there are also the San Miguelito, y owned by a company of that name, and the "Providencia,' owned by the Providencia Mining Company of Douglas-a fine property. The Hidalgo Mining Company of Doug las, have in the same vicinity the "Hidalgo" mine, described as a good property.
 A little beyond, six miles south east of Cos, the Pineta Mining Co.,, of Douglas, have property which Is reported as very good.
 To get back closer to the Huacal mountain, in fact right up under its crest, upon the southeast, we find "El Globo," q very good mine upon which strong Milwausee company has done a great deal of work and made a fine showing. They have built

 and telephone line to Nacozari, a distance of nine miles. Their camp consists of four large, well builI, comfortable adobe buildings. It is one of the best appointed and best appearing mining camps in the entire state of Sonora.
 Near Fl Globo'' is the Wiscon- sin" good poperty owned by Thos. Davenport and T. l.. Crane.
 Upon the south slope of the main mountain is the "Eundiciones An tiguos," another dhtig,ta mine, the property of Mr. George F. Wood ward. The old workings are very extensive, and in some places go to d depth of 100 feet to water, and how much deeper Is not known. The

 used for ladders, upon which the peons, packing the ore upon their backs in rawhides baskets to the furnace. climbed out of the depths, are still yet to be seen in some places. The ledge varies from five feet to twelve in width, as shown in the places where the ore was taken out. The ores are of mixed character, including cale spar, rich in gold, red and black hematite, also carrying gold, and galena, rich in lead and silver. Upon the old dumps are heaps of second class rock, that.wa sorted out by the antiques and left. It is black hem atite, with, finely grained syenite. It assays S$5 gold per ton. With the peculiar combination of lead, iron and lime such ores are prac- tically self f1uxing. The vestiges of old rasas and slag dumps show that was the way they were treated. Picked specimens of these ores run high in values. This is believed to the noted "Huacal" mine, a very and famous mine of dntigto days.
 Upon the west side of the noun tain are the "New York;" and "Aguinaldo," owned by parties liv- ing in Nacozari; and several other properties recently denounced.
 While the foregoing is running description of the Huacal region it is by no means complete, but it goes to show that it has merit, and the prediction is here ventured that time will show that its merit

New Guns are Good Ones.

The last allotment of the new
rifles for the state guard has arrived
and are being distributed as fast as
the old ones are turned in. The com
panies of the state guard are lean
ing up the old guns and sending
them to state headquarters the
adjutant generals office. where they
are counted repacked and sent To
the war department. The reason
for the adoption OF the new gun, the
U. S. Magazine rifle and the Eband
onment, of the old rifle, the Spring
field, is because the range OF the
magazine gun is nearly twice as
much as Of the old one, and il is a
much more practical gun in ev ey
respect.

BREAD AND WATER DIET
Does not Agree With Umbrella Member
Freak Camping in County Jail.

An old umbrella member who had
saved enough to purchase a bad jag
and was enjoying it in a most disor-
derry manner, was arrested the other
day, and put in jail to serve sentence
of 10 days on bread and water, impos-
ed by Mayor McGrew.
Sheriff Core allowed him some lib
critics. He was not placed in cell,
and when meals were brought to the
other prisoners, he did not wait for an
invitation, but cut in, and got the
rauions of two men. Then the sentence
was carried out to the letter. He was
locked up in cell, and his bread and
water diet strictly administered.
Then the fun began. The umbrel-
Ia member raved, preached and ana
thematized the state, county, and city
officers, mayor, jailor, and the whole
system of government under which a
man could be put in jail on bread
and water. He has torn his clothes
to shreds, and is now as naked as a
Greek Statue, The bread and water
diet continues, however, and it is
thought his refractory spirit will be
subdued before the sentence expires.

lation.
A special from Baltimore throws
more light on the racket between
the b. & o. trainmen and the offici-
ais. It is as follows:
President of the Trainm an, John
Bnbb, stated last night that if the
Baltimore IL Ohio management
failed to meet the demands of the
committee at 10 clock this morn
ing every wheel on the road would
be tied up in SO hours.
There are lao separate items, y
said Budd, sin our list of grievances.
OF these 1879 are of minor charac-
ter, but there are three items at
which the corporation balks and
which we consider most important.
Our uitimatum is that they must ac-
cept They are:
"First-When switching overtime
the men shall be paid both for the
amount specified in the agreement
for switching and for overtime as
well.
''Second-The men demand that
an extra wage scale be applied to
all double heading; that is, when
one crew is compelled to shandle the
freight cars of train pulled by two
engines. The work is extra.
"Third-The men demand that it
be no longer compulsory on them to
join the relief department. They
object to the way in which it is
managed and do not want to be
compelled to insure on the terms
offered. This demand is final.
"We do not need to wait for vote
before ordering a strike. We were
authorized before coming to take
action in case just demands were
not acceded to-"
The Baltimore d Ohio officials
minimize the trouble and claim that
it can easily be settled. In the same
breath. however, they say the men
are an ugly mood. Third Vice
President Potter of the B. d o. said
be had looked over the list of griev-
ances and thought an agreement
could be reached.

Nomination of United States senator
Little Fellows who are after some

A hot race for governor Of West Vir-
ginia is in prospect, most OF the fight
ing at present being over the nominal
ton Of republican candidate to sue
coed Governor White. w. M. o.
Dawson and Charles f. Teter appear
to be the leaders in the race, for which
there were not long ago six candidates.
Mr.. Dorr is still in the race and also
has a considerable following
Tax reform is the burning issue, and
ranking with this is the attitude of
the state toward corporations, which
have become very powerful in West
Virginia, and have an even greater in
fuence on politics than they have in
most other states. Governor White,
who is strong supporter Of Dawson,
declares that ''problems of taxation
are not solved by suppression" and
he will discuss the question all over
the state. The fight centers around
the report OF the tax commission.
The governor is expected to expose
the success OF corporate interests in
strangling the tax bills in the last leg
islature.
Whiting Of the situation, Mr.. John
Wallace the Wheeling correspondent,
says: "Skillful attorneys who played
part 10 the aforesaid suppression are
still at work, and, fearing a governor
who will be committed to the tax COM
missions views, are again directing a
movement which will successfully re-
sist their enactment into laws. mas
much as W. M. o. Dawson, the gov
ernor's right-hand man, wants to be
governor, and stands with him on the
tax platform. The railroad, coal, oil
and gas corporations are planning to
beat Dawson. While Dawson is thus
feared. Charles f. Teter, his leading
opponent, is correspondingly favored.
Back OF Dawson is some of the best
political talent In the state. Teter
signed the tax protest against the
commissions recommendations"
Mr.. Charles Swisher, OF Marion,
says that he will not be candidate
for governor but will run for secretary
OF state. Judge Mason states positive
ly he will not be candidate before
the convention. 1t is presumed that
Arnold Scherr will go after the
authorship again, which ends his
chances for the governorship.

bin Making Valuable Outlet Each

way
A dispatch from Baltimore says
that the connection of the West
Virginia Central Il Pittsburg Rail
road from Elkins with the Greepbrier
branch IF the Chesapeake d Ohio
at Durbin has just been completed.
This connection opens to travel a
new short route between the terri
tory of West Virginia and Virginia
adjacent to the Chesapeake 4 Ohio
Railroad and the territory on the
lines of the West Virginia Central
d Pittsburg Railroad, Baltimore d
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad.
1t is a very great and much
needed improvement, and besides
establishing direct route through
to Pittsburg and other points in this
state, it greatly improves travel
from the northern part of West
Virginia to its metropolis.
1t is interesting to note in this
connection a route by which Wabash
traffic can enter Washington, and it
is said that the connection is to be
used for Eastern traffic until the
Cumberland Cherry Run link be-
tween West Virginia Central and
