SONORA SETTINGS.
A Collection of Hsppenings in the
 State Over the Line.

Colonel A. H Moore, who has been in the southeastern part of Sonora, beyond the Yaqui River near Cocorit, returned to Nogales Tuesday morning.
 MT. H. N. Martin, superinten- dent of La Barranca coal mines, property of the Sunset Develop ment Company, has returned from trip to El Paso, and Wednesday started from Ortiz for La Barran- ca.
 MT. Johnson, many years past master mechanic for the Sonora Railway, whose recent promotion to more important and responsi- ble post of the same nature at Tucson was last week noted in TIE OASIS, is to be presented testi- monial of esteem by his former subordinates and associates in the service of the Sonora road. The testimonial will be a fine gold watch. which has been ordered and will be shortly received for presentation. Going to his new post MT. Johnson carries the good will and good wishes of a host of friends in Sonora.
 The work of improvement of track, bridges and equipment in- augurated by the Sonora Railway, when it passed into the Southern Pacific system some years ago has continued without intermission, and the property is now in fine condition, although the end is not yet. At present there are 300 car loads of ties en route from Texas, which will be shortly all in the track; and new station buildings, new water tanks, new bridges, and other additions are going in all a. long the line. No less than thirty extra construction gangs are kept constantly employed.
 During many months past the Mexican military authorities have waged relentless war against the recalcitrant Yaquis, and with the aid of those peacefully inclined, have been rounding up and captur- ing the hostiles by twos and threes, until about thirty with their fami- lies have been taken and deported. The most dangerous and active about a dozen, perhaps-were shot. The thirty deported, with their families, were shipped from Quay mas Saturday night, on the trans port Oaxaca They go down the coast to Acapulco, thence over land to Yucatan.
 All accounts from the Alamos district convey intelligence of great mining activity out there. Many new mines are opening, work being resumed in those sus- pended, work expanding in those in operation, and a,,tigous of merit being taken up and exploitation commenced. At Bayoreca MT. Theo- dore Douglas is developing the Anita copper mines, which are under bond to Captain J. D. La Mar, the heavy New York

NOCALES NOTES.

l.. H. Wilson, who is connected with the Trinidad Mining Com panv, at Trinidad in the Sahauripa district, stopped over at Nogales last Saturday en route on visit to the East and in Europe. He expects to return to Sonora Tn October
 Owing to delay in the arrival of the engraving ordered showing the shaft at the "Old Soldier" mine. the first batch of "Weyside Notes" of Mir. Birds recent journey through the Patagonia mountains, has been necessarily omitted this week
 The Arizona & Sonora Manu- featuring Company has executed a contract with the Golfo de Gro Mining Company for ten stamp mill and complete cyanide plant for installing at their Gold proper ties, situated near La Dura, Sonora. Mir. s. K. Brunner is the general manager.
 Naco is proving to be a very inn portant port, and so much busi- ness is being transacted daily that the deputy collector is compelled to keep his office force actively at work. The change of April first by the Mexican government has caused much business to the town proper as well as the service.
 Roy x Titcomb Incorporated ] have established a branch house in Douglas, to reach with facility a great market there for mining sup plies, machinery, etc, which will be shortly cutting wide swath in the business of the great and grow ing region there tributary. Quar- ters have been engaged ,and several carloads of stock and machinery are en route.
 Sunday MT. G. A. Stuart, who has been for some time in the general office of the Sonora Rail way at Guaymas was at Nogales bidding goodbye to his many local friends. Mir. Suart has resigned his position at Guaymas, and Monday morning started for his home in Cairo, Illinois, where he will hereafter reside.
 The attention of our readers is this week called to the statement of the condition of the First National Bank of Nogales at the close of business March 2Sth 1904, which appears elsewhere in this issue. Under the present able and con servative management of Mir. Bracey Curtis the volume of busi- ness being transacted by this banking house is constantly on the increase and the steady gain in the amount of deposits is proof of the confidence reposed in the officers of the bank by it's many customers.

 master at Banquet BANKERS ARE ENTERTAINED  Plans Made to Invite European Cotton spinners to Visit the South to
 Study Cotton Growing
 Possibilities.
BANKERS ARE ENTERTAINED

New York, September 16.-An interna- tional convention of cotton manufactu- rers to be held this fall was planned to- night at dinner given at Sherry's to the Southern Bankers association who at tended the 3ankers' convention in this city.
 A resolution was adopted expressing the hope that the spinners of Europe may attend the convention and promising on behalf of every business interest a hear ty welcome. The object of this con- vention is to bring the cotton spinners of Europe to this country, either as dele gates or visitors, and let them see the south and study its cotton growing and manufacturing possibilities.
 John Skelton Williams, formerly presi- dent of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, was toastmaster and in a speech urged the southern bankers to support the pro- posed convention, citing the Panama canal as reason for a coming cotton boom in the south. He asserted that the can al when completed, will open up the way for a sale of millions of bales of cotton more than now are sold in the open market.
 Telegrams endorsing the proposed con- vention were received from the governors of several southern states.

Says War VIII Soon End.

London. September 1.-The Daily Tele- graphs St. Petersburg correspondent de- clares that a Russian statesman whose name, if revealed, would wing his utter ances with lightning rapidity over the globe, asserted Friday that 1t was his impression that the war might end sooner than people imagine, not through media ton. but through mutual recognition of the ruinous nature of the conflict, which would lead to negotiations that would re suit in a Russo-Japanese alliance.
 He contended, the correspondent says, that although Russia in the end would exhaust and crush Japan, yet Japan could hold out long enough to place an intolerable and useless strain upon Rus sia. Russia therefore, was confronted with the alternative of either Japan 8 ruin, purchased by ruionous sacifices, or of treaty of cordial friendship, follow ed Tn the fullness of time by that offen- sive and defensive alliance which for years constituted the ideal of the Jap anese government

Tannart Is In Indiana.

Indianapolis. Ind, September 16.-Thom- as Taggart, chairman of the democratic national committee was in conference to- day with democratic workers from all parts of Indian county. The conference this morning was held in the rooms of W. II. o Brien, state chairman, and about noon q general meeting was held at the Grand hotel, attended by MT. Tag gart members of the state committee, nominees for state and county offices and other democrats. To the democrats in a private conference MT. Taggart expressed confidence that the democrats would carry New York. He also said they could carry Indiana. With New York in such condition according to the views of the democrats, the fight in Indiana would be all the hotter.
 At this time there appears to be no doubt that the democrats are planning to concentrate their forces In Indiana.
 The conference between MT. Taggart and the Indiana democrats probably will continue through tomorrow. The nation al chairman said today he would go to French Lick Springs tomorrow night and on Monday go to Chicago and after remaining there two or three days would return to national headquarters in New York city.
