BINDER TWINE RAISED
PRISON PRODUCT WILL COST
MORE, OWING TO INCREASED
PRICE OF MATERIAL.

The state board Of control today fixed
the prices of binder Irvine for the sea-
son of 1905. They are fraction of a
cent higher than a year ago, due to an
increase of IL cents in the cost of the
raw sisal fiber
The fact that enough raw material
has already been purchased to run the
Irvine plant until Aug. l makes it pos
sible to sell the Irvine lower than the
raw material can be purchased at this
time.
The 1905 quotations, f. o. b., Stillwa-
ter, are as follows: d

PLATT SCORES A VICTORY
His Opposition to Man Fa-

Withdrawal of Name.

''The President has decided TO ap-
point William r. Wilcox, postmaster
at New York city and AIr Wilcox s
nomination viii go in 20 the Senate on
Tuesday next" is an official announce
ment at the White House this morning.
The selection Of Mr. Wilcox to sue
ceed the late Cornelius Van COtt was
agreed upon by the President and Sena-
tor Platt. at an extended conference last
night Three candidates for the va
cant postmastership We're prominently
considered for the appointment and the
opposition OF Senator Platt caused the
withdrawal from consideration Of the
name OF Marcus n Marks This left Mr.
Wilcox and Theodore P. Gilman in the
field. and il is said the Senator express
ed no special preference between these
two men.
A Platt Victory.
The appointment of Mr.. Wilcox is in
a sense a White House victory for
Senator Platt over Governor Odell. who
is reputed TO have been active in urging
the appointment of Mr. Marks The
retention of John A. Merritt in the post
mastership here is another indication
that Senator Platt has not lost infiu-
ence at the White House.
The next postmaster Of New York is
said 20 be a man of fine business ability
and qualifications. He was at one time
deputy comptroller OF the State of New
York and IS now leader of the Nine

NEW PLACER FIELD
located in the Future Sacramento
 Valley of Sonora.

The laqul river delta of central Sonora possesses a climate, a soil, a topography and mineral resources in many respects so similar to the great central basin of northern California as to justify close comparison in all respects except dimensions. Even its geological origin will be found to contain close analogies.
 Aside from its conceded fertility and the magnitude of it's harvest of cereals, etc, all of which can also be produced on the Yaqui, the Sacramento Valley of Califor- mia possesses q unique and special interest for practical miners, just now, in the extent of it's modern gold placer operations conducted on one of its afiluents above Marys- vile, and between that town and 0rovllle, some twenty-five miles to the northeast of the first named city. Instead of placer washing bv ordinary hydraulic methods, the operations are carried on by gigantic dredges, each machine costing from $40,000 to S50,000. These excavate the bars and river shore-iines on the Yuba, tributary of the Sacramento river. The contents oi their revolving scoops of steel are subjected to scientific scrutiny and when all free gold" has been with drawn the gravel is again deposited once more along the banks.
 These gravel banks are literally natural treasure vaults, for so sure are the operators in question of obtaining certain amount of pay dirt' of every cubic yard, that they unhesitatingly purchase orchards, houses, or unoccupied farm land along their route for the purpose of not merely prospecting, but to obtain the certain known dividend on their investment. So lar there has been no dlsappont- ment in these estimates, though the writer could not help sympath- ] Lzlng with some of the good towns people of Oroyille, who regretted the disappearance of beautiful matured olive orchard located on nigh bluff, overlooking their charm ! Ing town from the opposite bank, which was about to disappear in the capacious mouth of the dredge. The roots of the olives were known for certainty to be entwined around the groins of auriferous sands.
 As one traces the successive alliuents of the Yaqui river, back tiil one reaches the mineralized area of Southern Arizona and New Mexico, thence across the foothill ranges of the northeastern sierras oi sonora, thence up into the lofty fegons of the Sierra Nevadas of 'ne Pacific slope of Chihuahua, g1e wonders what it's mighty June dl''os will contain. Between ~, ll,9..nlostone. Arizona, and Batopilas, Tra'Auahua, is a fairly good stretch.
 IS not too much to say that it '''ers one of the most highly min 'Iailled regions on the Pacific 1n,ope' n between Sitka and Salinas H'"1' and so far as Mexico + e9ncerned the Yaqui river and .'s m @liluents are on visiting terms "i'h the entire area and its every nook and corner.
