ALTAR DISTRICT OF SONORA IS i DROUGHT STRICKEN LAND. JOHN NEWELL AND HIS
 pARTrV TPEvrIrRN
PARTY RETURN.


 Some Mining Going on, but Prospect ing Handicapped by Lack of Water Ranches Abandoned, Machinery is Rusted.
 John J. Newell says the Naco Bud get. who with wm. Holt and Chas. simerson left here five weeks ago for an extended prospecting and hunting trip in Sonora, returned here Tuesday night. The party did not find any gold mines worth mentioning. but they had an outing that they will remember The blackboard that they travelled in iolted them back into the best of 1 health.
 The party after leaving here head ed for Port Libertad. an old aband- oned town on the Gulf of California, in the Altar district. The latter dis trict, according to Mir. Newell, has a clear title to the designation of "the land of desolation1 and not New Meg ico. but Altar, is the country that God forgot" There is no water in the country. and the first rain in ff- teen years fell this season. The river beds are dry. and one may travel six ty miles without striking a water hole. Ranches are abandoned for lack of water. and expensive farming machin- cry stands unused and rusted in the deserted fields.
 Mir Newell ran across some former Naeoites down there in the persons of Wm. Johns, Ed Hanley and Mir. Hughes. They are working a gold property eight miles from La Cienega. which Is ss miles from the gulf. They have a three stsmv mill up. and were making a test run when Newell and his party were there. The proposi- ton is a most promising one, and the yellow metal can be banned out of any of the ore.
 A mining property. on which a ten stamp mill is being operated, is be- ing worked by several Americans at Fl Tiro. IS miles northeast of La cienega.
 Mir. Newell says there is absolutely nothing in the Altar district to at tract one-it is a good place to stay away from.
