1 MEXICAN NATIONAL HOLI-
 DAY AT MOCTEzUMA
" .. VINEGAR RETURNED YES TERDAY FROM HIS TRIP TO
 MEXICO.

W. C. Vinegar returned on the train yesterday from MOctezuma where he a-ent tO spend the Fourth of July and attend the Fourth Of July ceiebra- -i0n in iSc metropolis of fsle of the most prosPerUCs sections of the State To. Sonora. Vinegar was enthusias- tc in speaking of the success Of the celebration and in praise of the com mittee which had promoted it and pro ylded fer the accommodation of those who attended.
 dc. Vinegar was accompanied by Starry Cleveland, of this city. and F. .. Mendoza, of Ggua fristS.
 T=e celebration consisted of vari- cus sports during the day. @ parade with a spleadI band during tae day and banquet with a magnifSent dis cl>S of fireworks at night At the haaque. several speeches were made and the Declaration Of Independence Sas read For two ds-s the city was tarned oyer 10 the Americans and they all had the time of their lives.
 Speaking of the industries of tho country Mir Vinegar said:
 There is a great deal of activity
 the mining industry in that sec
 ion which IS increasing daily. Ths 1rOsDectors are reporting many new discoveries and deyeiCOilent work is progressing on many of them. In re- gard to the supplies for the mines and other industries iu the Moctezu. ra district I found that large quap- titles of merchandise hope in the past been shipped from Hermosillo. com ing sometimes by burro train across the country and sometimes by train around by Nogales and Douglas. This of course requires longer time to re- ceive goods but across the country from Hermosillo is now a hazardous route on account of the troublesome Gaquis who captured a large cargo of merchandise belonging to one of the principal merchant e. Moctezuma.
 'T was surprised to find that so lit tie was known of Douglas by many people whom I met on my trip and [ seems to me that the Douglas mer ,nants are overlooking an opportu- 3ity to attract much trade from that country. It is necessary ot go and see and get acquainted with those people if the trade is to be secured.
 The new smelter at Cumpas being erected by the Transvaal Mining com PdAg IS attracting mNc1 aIenuOn ID the Hoctezuma district. This smel ter viii have a capacity of 15O tons daily and it is expected that it will be ready fer action by September 1. At presant the company has one thousand burros packing ores from the mines to the smelter at Cumpas.
 When the Cumpas smelter is put in operation and proves to be a sue cess. of which there seems to be no doubt, the belief Is general that the Nacozari railroad will be extended at least to Cuupas. and at once at Cumpas the building would be over an admirable route to Moctezuma"
 Asked abou4 what kiui uf weather he encountered on the trip Mr. Wine gar stated that h. fU;;nd it a0out the same as all were experiencing in Douglas, now. MT. Vinegar resumed his accustomed position this morning at the First National bank. of which he is assistant cashier. declaring that he would ever remember his trip to Moctezuma with pleasure.
 It was stated that the Mexican of- hcials were extremely courteous to the visitors and de-:- everything pos sible to provide convenience and en- tertainment for the -Mericanos.7
