W. ". Elliott of Elliott & Drescher,
the mill builders has returned from
Mohave county where they are put
ting in ten stamp mill for the Ger
man American Mining company. Ell
lott recently completed large plant
for the Lucky Tiger Gold Co., in the
Montezuma district, Sonora, Mex. and
speaks very highly of that district
from a mineral standpoint but says
the Yaqui Indians are so troublesome
in some sections as to make opera

the problem of successfully disposing
of these bands of thieving cutthroats
as rather a difficult proposition and
one that may require pronounced
methods and some years time on the
part of the Mexican authorities.
