A SONORA cLoUDsURsT.
Everything Movable Washed From
 Green Gold Property at La Brjscs

Last week heavy rain occurred at La Brisca, Sonora, and the mines and farms in that vicinity suffered great damage. At the Green Gold placer property everything movable was washed away, including the electric light building, houses of the working men, scEapers, etc. The mine was re gently closed until after the rainy sea- son. A five-stamp mill plant on the property adjoining the Greene Gold and belonging to Colonel Greene was also washed away by the food. Heavy rains have visited nearly every section of Sonora this summer.

MAYOR TOM JoHNsoN's PLANI
Proposes Holding Company for Man.
auement Of Street Railways

Proposes Holding Company for Man.
asement Of Street Railways
Mayor Johnson OF Cleveland has
evolved a novel sort OF compromise
scheme for the regulation of street
railways. By means Of it he hopes
to avoid the worst of the dangers
feared by the opponents to public
ownership and at the same time OBJ
tain the chief advantages that the
favorers of municipai control contend
for. The plan has the further great
excellence of being tentative; it does
not commit the advocates of either
policy to an investment from which
they could not withdra Z without big
loss of time and money. II the at
tempt at Improvement does not work
well it will be quickly self-corrective.
The problem is up for immediate
consideration in Cleveland. for enc
Of the franchises has expired lid
Mayor Johnson is a favorer of mu-
nicipal ownership, and contender
that fares Should be reduced from 5
to cents. The Cleveland Electric
Railway company has offered to
meet him half way with a four-cent
fare if the city will extend the fran
chises for twenty-five years. Johnson
refuses this, but offers instead, his
original plan of compromise. He pro-
poses that the railways be turned over
to a holding company, board of
trustees, appointed mutually by the
electric cor pany and the city. The
holding company is to guarantee pay
ment of interest on the bonds Of the
electric company and the regular 5
per cent on it's stock. Out of any sur
plus it is to make needed extensions,
to provide a sinking fund for the
bonds, and to reduce fares. johnson
believes that five months of such
management of the railways will
prove his contention that three-cent
fares are feasible. If the holding
company fails to make good the pay
ments of interest and dividends as
promised, that failure will work for
fixture and the property returns to
the control of the electric company.

Peaches That Measure Twelve inches
In circumference

The Rnobley mountain section of
Mineral county, which in the past
few years has been SO much develop.
ed in the nursery business, is this
year leading the United States in
peaches.
Last week s. L. Fwigg, owner of
the High Knobley orchard, left at
the Echo office basket of liberia
peaches, 16 in all, that weighed IL
pounds. One Of the largest measur-
ed exactly IL inches in circumfer-
ence. The whole 16 were OF an even
size, quite an average. and these
are no larger than others that Mr..
Twigg has marketed here in small
lots.
The High Knobley orchard covers
about so acres Of land on the top
and eastern slope Of the Knobley
mountain, about three miles east OF
keyser. In this orchard are 10000
peach trees Of bearing age, with 9th.
ers younger. and small number OF
pear, apple and plum trees. Last
year 5000 bushels OF peaches were
shipped from this orchard. This
season the crop is only about one-third
an average.
The fruit from this orchard is
marketed mainly through commits
sion houses in eastern cities and com.
mands fancy price.
OF the thousands Of trees in this
orchard there are about 20 varieties
but the liberia, salway and smock
are grown most extensively. The va
'rieties are SO divided as to ripen all
along from the early season peach un.
til the first of November.
Mr.. Twigg commenced planting this
orchard about 10 years ago and has
given 1t his undivided attention since
and has made for himself a record as
fruit grower and has substantial
annual income.-Keyser Echo.

FREAK OF NATURE
IN a coAlsAnk..
Two Distinct Grades in One Vein.
Taken Out Separately.

Coal is coal, but there are different
grades of coal, as is well known. 1t
is not often that so great a difference
exists in the same vein that II pays
to mine part of 1t and keep 1t sepa-
rate from the rest, because Of its
greater value. Such, however, is the
case in one of the big mines at
Thomas, in Tucker county, West yir-
ginia, says the Morgantown Chronicle.
The vein Is eight feet thick, all
good, but the lower four feet is SO
much better than the upper four feet
that it is kept separate and sold sepa-
rate. For some reason, the lower
part was made Of better material, In
the period when the carboniferous
swamps we're forming their peat beds
which later became coal.
The good half of the vein is taken
out first. The other is left until a
later time, and is then removed.
Heavy props, usually of beech wood.
four feet long are used to support the
OVERLAPPING coal and its superimposed
weight of rock, when the lower half
of the coal is being mined When
the times comes the coal above is
brought down. and eight feet props
are substituted to hold up the roof
of the mine.
The best coal is not shipped loose
in gondolas, but is put in sacks and
shipped to distant places, some OF it

TONLETTER

Washington. D. c.. Sept. Q. 1905.
This is the time Of year that is
known as the silly season. but It
has never been more deserving OF the
<itIe than in the past two days when
the taIk OF n third term for President
Roosevelt has been revived on the
strength OF the congratulations that
IRE pouring in on him from crowned
heads and from all quarters of the
globe for the work that he did in
bringing the Japanese and Russian
Peace Enjoys together. The talk
has been started in two quarters,
namely among the so-cnlied friends
Il the President. and among those
who are anything but his friends and
Who are afraid that II he were again
nominated he would again sweep the
sountry. But all that Is necessary to
KIM This talk is to turn the Presi.
DENTS positive statement made after
ne returns came from the election
last November. He said at that time
n rs unmistakable English as man
IAN use,s that he Intended to regard
rho substance and not the letter Of
me unwritten law which restricted a
President to two terms. and that he
would under no circumstances be a
candidate for reelection. It would
BE breaking his word which is a thing
no one, either friend OF enemy would
expect OF him, to go back on that
statement. And so the silly sea-
ron story may be laid at rest.
There is general movement on
mot, however. to give the President
great welcome back to Washington
when hos comes home. This will be
merely an informal AFFAIR and consist

rrunably viii include nearly all the
residents of Washington, meeting him
1t the depot and escorting him to the
White House. 1t Is a thoroughly
democratic, and spontaneous sort Of

Roosevelt is the man to appreciate.

1t is thought full time that this i'm.
portant question should be settled,
as 1t win make difference of several
years in the completion of the canal.
Up TO the present practically no work
has been done and the mere question
of feeding and housing the immense
force OF laborers on the ground has
received little attention. That is to
say. 1t has received a good deal Of at
tention, but little has been done. And
In this connection very sensational
letter has been made public from Gov.
ernor Magoon OF the Canal Zone to
Don Ricardo Arias OF this city. The
letter was called forth by the protests
OF the local merchants over the open.
ing OF stores for the benefit Of the
canal workmen by this government.
Gov. Magoon states that the crops
have very largely failed in Central
America and a quarantine restriction
makes 1t hard to get in food supplies
from South American ports. The 10
cal storekeepers have been taking ad.
vantage of the situation and in the
words OF late American railroad
magnate have been Charging all the
traffic would bear" The result has
been that 1t was almost impossible for
the laborers to get food at all and
getting proper food was out of the
question. They were living largely
on sugar cane and were SO weak that
they could not work properly and their
labor was for that reason very expen,
sive. The governor quotes Chief En-
gineer Stevens as saying that the sue
cess or failure of the canal proiect
will be made manifest in the next
eighteen months and that for this
end it will be necessary to have the
laborers properly fed. The govern.
ment will accordingly open stores
and sell food to the iaborers on
vouchers at reasonable prices and they
will be cared for as would not other.
