1877. By 1887 the total amounted to practically $15, OOO; by 1897. to $2l,- COG, coo; and in 1903 to S32. 900. coo. Tn the present fiscal year the total will prob ably not exceed $25, 100000 in value.
 In the nine months ending with March the total eXpOrtation of cotton manufactures was about SS,00O,O 900 be- low that of the corresponding months of last year, and $75O0,OOO of this re- duction was in the exports to China, where domestic manufacture of cotton is increasing somewhat and imports from India and Japan are becoming more competitive each year. This is especially true in years of high prices, such as that of 1903. The shorter sta pie cotton of India proves very accept able for use in the class of goods large ly utilized in China. and this fact ex- plains, in part at least, the reduction in our exports of this class of goods to China in year of such high prices for cotton.

DR. FLOWER WANTED.
Out on s23 900 BaiF-Detectives Look.
 ing for Him.

New York. May 29-It was an- Hounced tonight that detectives from the district attorneys office have been searching for pr. R. C. Flower.
 pr. Flower is under bonds to appear in the. court of general sessions to- morrow to stand trial on five indict- ments, charging grand larceny in con- nection with the failure of the Arizona Eastern and Montana Ore Development Mining company. For some time he has been out on S23,OOO bail furnished by Mrs. Cornelia Stores, widow of the late deputy controller, now a resident of Connecticut.
 It is thought the S23.OOO bail is un- secured by Flower to Mrs. Stores. According to MT. Garvan, she has all ready lost s1OO,OOO in the Irique Mine and s200,000 in the Blue Ridge Mine, with both of which pr. Flower was connected. When he got into trouble, however, Mrs. Stores went to his res cue. Flowers counsel admit he can- not be found.

Senator CaIom Says the Fight in
 Illinois IS Good -Natured.

Washington. May >J.-Senator Gull lom, who has been in Washington. takes hopeful view of the situation in Illinois. The contest for the guber- material nomination, while exceedingly earnest is in the main good-natured, he says. and VIII leave nc scars upon the party when it is over. He predicts q speedy settlement of it when the con- vention reassembles on Tuesday. Once the candidate is agreed upon, Senator Cullom says. all factions will unite heartily in his support. and he e-peoi- ally scouts the idea that the republican national ticket is in any way endang- cred by the contest over the governor ship. He thinks it absurd for the democrats to expect the republicans to vent upon the national administrat on of their party any spirit of i'll nature they might entertain toward each oth- CT. He says Illinois will roll up an old-time republican plureliy in No vember

its tributaries traversing this entire belt. Dams could be constructed fEr- nishing unlimited power sufficient to operate all the mills, mines and smel~ ters of the entire region.
 In the main range there is an aound- ance of pine timber which could be rafted down to saw-mills along the line of railroad, which would furnish timbers and lumber for commercial purposes, construction of smelteTs. etc.
 Several coal districts have been dis covered in this part of the state, the most noted being at La Barranca.
 History does not record definitely the beginning of mining in Sonora, as it antedates the conquest by Cortez. Still it is matter of history that min ing was carried on here before that time by the Aztecs, and that the great CT part of the geld the conquerors found was mined and brought from this state, as hundreds of ancient mines, or antiguas as they are called. both vein and placer workings bear witness. They could only work the veins down to the water level carry ing the ore out on their heads up notched ladders, and crushing it in the Arrastra, and if silver ores, amalga- mating by the Patio process, the pulp being placed in large tanks and tramp ed by horses. On reaching water level, as they had no pumps to handle it. they were compelled to stop, if the ore became to base, their primitive meth ods were useless. Yet even with these crude processes a marvellous wealth of the precious metals were obtained.
 The immense amount of gold found by Cortez, more than all else, aroused the cupidity of the Spanish invaders. Copper was known to exist in Sonora for hundreds of years. but it has only been recently that any one tried to ex- ploit and mine this valuable metal. it's inaccessability making it impossible to get capital interested. However. with the completion of railroads. and our nearly perfect system of mining. mill ing and smelting of ores. it is safe to predict that the state of Sonora is destined to rank with the foremost mining countries in America.

exports of cotton-seed oil in 1903 were over s1,0OO.OOO in value, and have rang ed at about that figure for several years.
 Cotton-seed meal, the other recently developed product from what was for merly considered waste material, is all so chiefly exported to Europe afte- supplying the demands of the home market.
 Of oil cake and oil-cake meal export ed from the United States last year amounting to nearly $2O,0OOOO0 (of which $12, 75O, 900 was from cotton seed), $4,5OO. 900 worth went to Germany, s4.- COG, coo to Belgium, $3. .5OO,O GOO to Neither lands, and a little less than $3,500, 900 to the United Kingdom.
 Cotton manufactures form another important class in this general group of cotton and it's products exported. The total value of cotton manufactures exported during the present year will fall materially below that of last year, partly by reason of the high price of cotton and partly by reason of condi- tions in the Orient, to which a large proportion of the cotton cloths export ed from the United States in recent years has been sent. Our total exports of cotton manufactures had never reached as much as s1OOOO,OOO, prior to

STATE OF SONORA
Description of That Highly Favored
 Region of hexicO.

HermCsillO. Sonora Mex, May 26.- Special correspondence of The Repub- lican).-The state of Sonora lies in the extreme northwestern part of the re- public of Mexico. It is bounded on the south and west by the gulf of Califor- nia. the north by Arizona and the east by Chihuah hua and SinaiOa. The great Sierra Madre. or mother range, trav- ersss the state from north to south along the eastern boundary having an altitude of 5000 to II, 900 feet. The top of the mountain is comparatively lev el.. and on the eastern side, slopes gradually to the elevated plateau eX- tending along the eastern side of the Rocky mountain system, at an eleva- ton of 4,OOO to 1000 feet, on the west eru slope it is much more precipitOus, descending rapidly to the western plains, which are only a little above sea level in west and south, but rise to an elevation of 1000 feet in northern part of state. This latter elevation be- ing characterized by numerous short desert ranges, having a general nOrth- west strike, and nearly all highly min eralized, being separated by broad sandy valleys. This section has many rich gold placers which have been worked for hundreds of years by the natives, with the Batea and scarcely less primitive dry washer But even by these crude methods many millions of dollars have been realized.
 There has been considera ble vein prospecting and development carried on in this section in the past few years with gratifying results. In the eastern part of the state are the foot hills of the Sierra Madres, although some of them attain to the dignity of mountains having an elevation as high as 5000 feet abounding in minerals. owing to their inaccessability, dis iauce from transportation, etc, they are practically virgin territory offering an inviting field for the prospector and Investor, already having been prOs- pected sufficiently to prove that here is one Of the richest mineral belts on the American continent.
 Since the building of the Cananea, Yaqui river and Pacific railroad to the noted Greene Consolidated Copper companys' mines. and the extension of the Fl Paso and Southwestern to the almost-as-great Nacosari mines, al- though only a short distance into the state, Sonora has been made one of the richest mining states in the repub- lie. which is raridly placing Mexico in the front rank of gold and copper pro- ducers. Should either of these roads be extended on south to the coast, it would open up one of the greatest min eral belts in America, there being in this section an abundance of timber and water; the great Yaqui river and

WOLVERINE 6 ARIZONA.

The directors of the Wolverine & Arizona Development company have submitted to the stockholders brief report of conditions existing and work performed at the mining properties of this company, located at Bisbee, Ari- zcna The following machinery is in place at the mine: A 12x14 single drum hoisting engine; Q 6xS hoisting engine; three boilers, no horse pow CT; a 16x24 air compressor. capable of supplying air for six drilling ma chimes; a No g Cameron sinking pump: and a No. Cameron sinking pump.
 Tn addition to the machinery al ready described, a complete diamond drill outfit was shipped to this prop erty from Chicago Jan. 29. On Jan nary 4. 1904, Prescott mine pump, with a minimum capacity of 800 gal Ions per minute, was contracted for. to be delivered February 19.
 The Wolverine & Arizona shaft has attained a depth of 5S0 feet. At this point the company encountered a flow of water which necessitated tenn porary suspension of sinking opera tons. Other shafts in the near neigh borhood have encountered water at much greater depths. which leads the Wolverine & Arizona management to believe that it has run into an un- derground water course. or that 1t is draining come water tank in the noun tain, and Las not reached the true wa ter level.

 Formation Is Encouraging.


 The general formation, as revealed by the shalt. has been very favorable On the whole. and similar to that of ether shafts in this district which en- countered ore. At depth of 545 feet 8 body of low grade ore about Is feet in wicth was encountered dipping to the northeast, an average sample of which assayed 42 per cent iron, IS per cent sulphur, 4 per cent lead and 45 per cent silica, and a trace of ccp- per. Another sample assayed 5S per cent lead, and another sample per cent copper. While this low grade material is of no value in itself, it's presence would indicate that the form ation was favorable to the occurrence of ore bodies, and in many instances in the district has been closely asso- ciated with high grade ore bodies.

A Detested Plant.

No sort of bird, beast or creeping
thing will touch castor oil plant. II
seems to be rank poison to all the
animal world. Even goat will starve
before biting off leaf, and horse
will sniff at it and turn up his upper
lip as though it had the most detest-
able odor on the face of the earth.
Army worms and the locusts will pass
it by, though they may eat every other
green thing in sight, and there is nc
surer way to drive moles away from a
lawn than to plant view castor beans
here and there. Even the tobacco
worm will refuse to be fed on / its
leaves. There is hardly another In
stance in natural history of a plant
being SO universally detested by the
animal world.
