Bonanza in Mexico.

County Judge r. r. Ross and ID. r.
Hindman, a wealthy business man and
one of the owners of the Union Coal
and Coke Company, returned to-day
from a four-weeks' visit in Sonora.
Old Mexico, where they were looking
after mining interests, says Trinidad
dispatch to the Denver Republican.
They say they have a silver mine
which is rich beyond expectations and
has caused great excitement in mining
circles in Sonora. Associated with
the two gentlemen is o. T. Clark, ex-
sheriff of this county.
The mine is situated in the teart OF
the Yaqui Indian country. Judge Ross
corroborated the reports sent out two
weeks ago that the Yaqui Indians had
attacked a train of teamsters, killing
eight of the party. after which the In
dians escaped with the teams, wagons
and supplies. This killing occurred
only fifteen miles from the mine in
which he is interested, but the Indians
have never visited the settlement on
his property. He also stated that the
Indians stay up in the mountains and
rarely visit the valley section, except
when they make a raid on some small
village or hold up rich wagon train
en- route to the mining districts.
Judge Ross stated that while in So
nora he and his associates had refused
an offer of 100000 Tor their property.
o. T. Clark is in charge at the mine.

Routt County Coal Fields.

A correspondent of the Denver
News at Yampa says:
1t would now seem that the half has
not been told regarding Routt county's
immense coal fielGS, as recent discov-
cries and development work have dis
closed second immense tract under
laid with anthracite. This second an
thracite field is by far the more ac-
cessible of the two, lying within few
miles west of Yampa.
The fact that anthracite coal has
been found in this vicinity has been
jealousy kept secret, and, although
quite extensive development work was
in progress during the entire summer,
1t was not known until recently that
the field has been found. The new
field where anthracite Is known to ex-
list is from two to four times as large
as the tract underlaid with anthracite
in the Deep Creek country, and from
sixty to eighty miles nearer Denver.
The survey of the Moffat road is
nearer the new field at Yampa than at
any other point, but from this town
the topography of the intermediate
country is such that branch lines and
stubs can easily be built.
The new discovery not only in
creases the number of square miles
underlaid with anthracite, but also
adds approximately 100 square miles
to the Routt county coal field, esti-
mated to contain 1000 square miles.
While the matter comes as sur
prise, it has long been known that
there must be in existence a vein of
ant .racite coal somewhere in the Flat
tops country, as in many OF the beds
of streams draining this country small
pieces of anthracite have been found,
but just where it came from could not
be ascertained. The new discovery
bears out the belief of many that with
development anthracite veins would be
uncovered, and At is in this district
that the new anthricite tract is being
developed.
The new district is located in what
is generally known locally as the
Flattops.
1t comes at one point within eight
miles of this town, and the formation
indicates that it extends as far south
as the Stillwaters, fifteen miles south
west. The same formation is continu-
Gus to the west and northwest as far
as Williams Fork, and near that
stream is one of the locations where
anthracite coal has been opened up.

New discoveries are being made at
considerable depth in the Portland
mine, at the 1.000-foot and the 500-foot

Is that the ore is more regular in form
