dCCtplduCG Ol du lnNildllOH lEoLu the Governor of the State of Sonora. we went to Hermosillo, where we were met by his Excellency, Governor Ysa. bel, General Torres and various others of the dignitaries and officials of the city and state Carriages were in waiting, and we were driven to the mansion of General Torres and de lightfully entertained by that gentle man and his charming wife. After the heat and dust of the inland trip, to sit in the cool shade of tropical yer dure. to be lulied by the carols of song birds and sip the sparkling eyes that rise to the surface of the rarest Extra Dry" that ever came across the water, made me realize that there is something sweeter than
 "The clink of the ice in the pitcher As the boy comes up the hall"
 When we had admired the beauti- full home of General Torres. his won derful Gobelin tapestrie and rare bric-a-brac for an hour, we were in- vited to take seats in the carriages and were driven to the Hotel Arcadia, where a luncheon was given from 1:S0 to ' in the evening.
 At the table were seated forty guests. Colonel Greene being in the place of honor beside General Torres. Of those whose names remember and of friends of former years. weie, besides those already named, exGov- ernor Ceiedcnio Ortiz. MT. Max Mui- Ter. manager of the Bank of Sonora; MT. Camou. Mir Mendez. representa- tive of Phelps. Dodge & Co. in Sono- ra: General Hernandez. the veteran Indian fighter. who is at present con ducting the operations against the Yaquis, besides many other whose names can not readily recall
 The first toast was offered by Gen eral Torres to Colonel Greene. Among other things General Torres saio: When we heard in Hermcsillo that some one had attacked the character and reputation of Colonel Greene. we knew that the attack had emanated from a source of insidious falsehood. We. who have known Colonel Greene for mare than twenty years. who have watched and rejoiced at his prosperi- ty. can not-win not-be swerved from our loyalty and confidence in one who has. more than any other, been Sonora's best friend. We were told that he would Tail at Cananea. but to- day five thousand of our citizens are enjoying a higher standard of living than to many of them had ever been possible before When the false re- port was published in the United States thst La Brisca' was not as rep resented hv Colonel Greene. the larg- est financial institution in the State. the Bank of Sonora. wired their core spondeut at New York to purchase three thousand shares of Greene Con- solidated Gold stock, to express our confidence based on known facts. The answer came back that the price was raised. Mir Muller wired to buy it any way Three times the answer came that the price was raised. until lit became apparent 10 Mir. Muller that lthere was absolutely no stock to be had. Then we knew that all reports iderogatory to Colonel Greene or any enterprise with which he is connected was false When we want a sensa- ton we may find it in the newspapers; when we want the truth, we fipd 1t there" (Pointing to Col. Greene.)
 There were many expressions of confidence and hearty good will ex- pressed by those present. and when the hour arrived for our departure. an hundred hands were held out with an earnest God speed. and as the train started some one shouted. "hurrah for Colonel Greene and La CannneaiT Three cheers and a tiger were given And when some one hurrahed for Col. cEel Greene and La Brisca. the cheers were followed by a whole jungle oi tigers"
 La Brisca" or the property of the Greene Consolidated Gold Company lis certainly wonderful in it's possibili ties. and. under the economic and lcareful manner in which it is worked Ithe word probabilities" should -atheI be used. The machinery is frst-cIass and the system of operation is such as will appeal favorably to any one ae ouainted with placer mining in any country. The fullest approval of al that I have said here was reiterated hy all the gentlemen who took part in the investigation
