SONORA SETTINGS.
Collection of Happenings in the
 State Over the Line.

Doctor J. c. Underwood and as- sociates have arranged to erect a new quartz mill upon mine they have. about twenty-five miles from Santa Ana. The ores are lead, cold and silver. The mill will be a combination of stamps, pan amalgamation, concentration and cyanide process Work will begin within ninety days.
 March 1st the new mill of the Yerkes Gold Mining Co.,, in the Altar district at El Cajon, started up, and has been running like clockwork ever since. It crushes seventy five tons of ore daily, yielding $5 per ton on the plates, and saving values so closely that cyaniding the tailings is hardly necessary. The perfect operation of the mill reflects great credit upon the shop of the Arizona X Sonora Manufacturing Co.,, of No- gales, where it was built.

To the Voters of NogAIes.

Since the incorporation of the Town of Nogales, this company has been erecting poles and string. ing wires without legal right so to do. In making our application for franchise, we are but request ing that this legal permission be granted us to continue to erect poles and string wires on the streets of the Town of Nogales. In our publication, we do not ask for a franchise that will exclude any other Electric Light Company or Gas Company from erecting plant and doing business in No- gales The granting of such a franchise would not only be un- lawful but unconstitutional. A franchise that does not exclude and that contains amply provis- ions for the protection of the inter- ests of the citizens, is in no sense monopoly.
 A careful perusal of our applica- tion, the provisions of which re. ceived but slight alteration by the Town Council, will shown that the interests of the citizens are fully protected. We would have the right to erect only one line poles on the streets of the Town thereby protecting the Town against the ''pole nuisance" so prevalent in other Towns; we are limited in the price we can charge for lights and when our rates become unreasona- able, the Town Council is given the right to protect the citizens against such unreasonable charges. The erection of our poles and the stringing of wires are to be directly under the supervision of the Coun- Gil thus protecting.against obstruc- tion of the streets or the erection of nnsightly poles.
 We are giving the best service furnished the inhabitants of any Town in Arizona. We intend to make large expenditures in fur ther improving that service. Un- less we are granted this franchise, what assurance have we that the money spent and to be spent in the improvement and betterment of our Electric Lighting system will not be in peril of becoming vain expenditure?
 We ask a careful consideration of these points by the Citizens of Nogales.

Possible Protests Against Laying OF

M - w -
n st. Petersburg, May ,26.The Brit
ish and American press reports OF pos
sible protests against the laying Of
mines in the waters of the Liaotung
peninsula because OF the danger to in
.ternational commerce evokes much in
terest here and it is q subject Of gen
5eral remark that there was no talk OF
protests while the Russian ships were
being blown up, lit only beginning
after the Japanese ships met with dis
1ster. & :s3 w Ar, S
The government circles are inclined
TO think tho reports of possible pro-
tests by the powers are confined to the
press. Neither the British nor the
american embassies has received In
structions on the subject. The indi-
cations are that II the question Of lay
ing mines beyond the three-mile limit
becomes the; subject Of formal pro-
test 1t will raise q new question Of in
ternational law growing out Of the in
creased range Of modern guns. The
three-mile limit was established In the
days when that distance represented
the maximum range. but II ships can
lie eight or ten miles away and yet
reach the coast with their projectiles
1t is argued that the defenders have
. perfect right to take such military
measures as they choose within the
range of the enemy guns. NJ N.

time ago aud she afterward married
one of the leading merchants of Min
neapolis. a
Won Steinwehr was about forty
years OF age and he had been in the
habit Of spending his winters in Min
Reapolis for some time. He owned a
big farm near Hillsboro, N. D., in

this fact.

All Ports Of the Russian Province

e ( ~ 4 --FJ
st Petersburg, May 26.-The Assoc.
ciated Press is informed ON high gov
ernmental authority that the opening
Of all the ports Of the Siberian lit
teral, although precipitated by the
necessities of war, had been under con-
sideration for months and represents
q distinct policy inaugurated by Rus
sia looking to the development Of
Eastern Siberia. The effect of closing
the former free port Of VladivostOk
had not proved q success and led to
the consideration of the advisability Of
reopening it. Action in the matter was
fastened by Viceroy Alexieff, who tel
egraphed to the emperor advising the
immediate adoption of the new policy.
The Associated Press is further in
formed that Russia has no intention of
resembling it upon the conclusion of
the war, but that the ports will re-
main open to foreign commerce for an
indefinite period s4d in the event Of a
successful Termination the provisions
Of the decree will probably be extend
cd to the territory covered by the Rus
sian lease of the Liaotung peninsula
Goods, entering without duty, can be
shipped westward so far as, Baikal,
where the European Russian tariff will
b imposed. >t.,@j ID.
While the opening of Eastern ST.
IBERIA to foreign trade will be of great
advantage to the United States and
Great Britain the emperor's advisers
were moved to adopt the policy strictly
on account of its economic advantages
In the development of Russia's Far
Eastern possessions.

NO NEWS FROM PORT ARTHUR.
Last Russian Reports Were Dated
Nav 10,

st. Petersburg, May 26.-The last
reports received by the general staff
from Lieutenant General Stoessel,
dated May 10, say no Japanese troops
had landed up to that time below Kin
chou. While, the war Office does not
discredit the persistent rumors of fight
Ing at Kinchou it has no information
of any collision since May 16, when
General Fock made reconnaissance
in force to determine the strength of
the enemy. The general staff is in
elined to believe that it will require
some time for General Oku to prepare
for active operations against Port Ar
thur Siege guns are considered an
absolute prerequisite, as the water at
Kinchou is too shallow to permit heavy
warships to get within effective range.
The movements of the Cossacks in
the rear of General Kuroki are being
carefully guarded.
There Is no official confirmation OF
the reports that the Japanese have
abandoned Fenghuancheng.
