The company in- cludes a number of Illinois capital ists, residing in Springfield and vicinity. After delightful visit with Mir. Somers we Monday morn- ing left Arevechi, with Calera our destination. Ne were told that the distance Is eight leagues, but l am disposed 10 think it a bit far ther. We were eleven hours, steady travelling. covering the ground, with | stop of but half an hour 1t noon. In part our route was that described in trip to Mulatos: some three years ago. About two leagues out we met MT. Frank Fitz of the Cieneguita Mining O., on his way to Sahua- ripa. Twenty years ago, when l was running Il newspaper al Wood, land, California, I knew Frank. who was then 8 schoolboy. He now holds q responsible position and Is heavily interested in the Cieneguita Company.
 Toward evening we met on the trail Mr. Julius Schlemmer of Sahuaripa. the well known civil engineer, returning home from q professional visit ali Trinidad, Calera, and other points in this direction. He was accompanied by MT. John Durgan of Douglas, who had been assisting him.
 We reached Calera in time for a late supper, and were hospitably received by Mr. Fred Garretson, general manager fer the Garretson- Sahuaripa Mining Co.,, which has some very valuable properties in the immediate vicinity Mrs. Gar retson is at the camp with her husband.

CH1PIoNA, July 4 l9t)4.

Our ride of about 24 leagues from Tarachi to this place was de
 lightful, save the last half league, which was accomplished in a driy- ing rainstorm, and we got a asoaking. Had we hurried along as we could have done, we might have escaped the rain, for we could have reached our destination two hours sooner. Out Of d mistaken kindness for our animals We stopped several times and let them graze-half an hour upon the, young, sweet grass. The The road led through a wild moun- tainons region, and groves of oak, pine, fir and cedar, the air fragrant with their aromatic calculations. The face of nature wore q smile which was charming, quickly suc- ceeded by a frown which became decidedly discomforting, We had skipped several stormss but this one caught us. and through our own carelessness.
