SONORA SETTINGS.

Thurday Mir. D. w. Hopkins was appointed assistant cashier of the Banco de Cananea, at Cananea.
 La Compana Industrial y Ex- plotadora Maderos. at Guaymas, is extending and enlarging it's al- ready extensive plant in anticipa- tion of the great increase of busi- ness which will ensue surely with the extension of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui x Pacific railroad.
 At Hermosillo Mir. J. w. Simonds has his new distillery in fine work ing order, and is turning out large quantities of excellent whisky, for which there is a growing demand all over Sonora. The gentleman is experienced in the manufacture of whisky in Kentucky. and de clares he can produce as good an article as they do in the old Blue Grass state. And his product comes much cheaper than the inn ported article.
 MT. Marshal P. Wright, the we'll known mining operator, has se- cured recently another very valua- ble mining property in the Cana
 
 cinity of the properties of the Can anea Central. These included two announcements, named Porvenir and Porvenir No. 2, and there are about forty pertenencias of rich ground. The gentleman will or ganize company to take over the ground and prosecute operations upon an extensive scale. There is

morning of the eighteenth and threatened to close down the works for an indefinite period unless the festival was stopped. The author ities accordingly ended the festival on the seventeenth. The pro. ceeding angered the men and they refused to return to work, inaug- nrated a strike and demanded three dollars day. On the eve ming of that day some fiery speech es were made and fifteen of the men were arrested. Last Friday ten of the men were released and five were taken to Altar, where they are now in jail.
 The two days celebration of Mexi- can Independence anniversary held at Promontorio mine Sep. tember l5 and 16, passed off in all respects according to the arranged program. At eleven o'clock on the night of the fifteenth the cere- mony of raising the flag was per formed, amid the booming of guns firing the salute and the music of the band. At midnight there was a grand parade, led by the band. At eight o'clock on the morning of the sixteenth, the Mexican flag was again raised, followed by the Canadian flag and the Stars and Stripes. At ten there was drill ing contest, the winning team re- ceiving prize of twenty-five dol lars. At noon there was grand barbecue, the miners, their families and all visitors participating, and the afternoon was spent in games. At four o'clock the three flags were lowered from the staff and borne through the camp. The celebra- tion wound up with grand out door ball, commencing at 8 o'clock in the evening, under the shade trees in front of the company's quarters. The place was brilliant ly illuminated with electric lights and decorated with Chinese lanterns

 all the capital necessary will be forthcoming immediately.
 According to EJ C0rre0 de Sonora, published at Guaymas, an engineer ing party Is now at work between Carbo, on the Sonora railroad, and Copete in the Ures district, select ing a route for the railroad to be constructed between those two points. The granting of the con- cession for the new road was men, toned in THE OASIS some weeks ago. The road will be built from Carbo, via Copete, into the Yaqui river country, opening up large agricultural and mineral region.
 The hotels at Guaymas and Her mosille are anticipating an unus- ual inflow of tourists and visitors the coming winter. Extension of the railway into the great valley of the lower Yaqui makes that rich and fertile region much more easi- ly accessible than heretofore, and hundreds will visit the valley to inspect and purchase the rich and fertile land, while the mining re. gions up the river will receive con- stant accessions of men of capital and enterprise, who will find the rich mineral fields there so much more easily reached than ever be- fore.
 At Llanos de Orc the trouble that threatened last week, as a re- suit of the Independence Day festa, has been smoothed over. An eight day fiesta had been arranged at the camp, and as result the mine and mill was closed down for couple of days, the men refusing to let work interfere with their merry making and gambling. Mir. Hen- " l.. MacKay, manager of the Llanos de Gro Mining and Milling Company, 1t is reported, went to the municipal authorities on the

Flax for Binder Irvine.

We are informed by a representa-
tive of the International Flax
Irvine Co., that it is their intention
to purchase flax this and future
years in the vicinity of River Falls
for the purpose of manufacturing
binder Irvine therefrom. This
Company buys the entire crop, both
seed and straw, as it is necessary
that the straw be kept straight at
all times threshed flax cannot, be
used. Flax for their purpose must
be cut with a self binder and all
bound, and at least II inches long
from where cut to, first limb near
top, and reasonably free from foul
matter. Flax should be planted
early on we'll cultivated ground and
at least one bushel to each acre,
lightly narrowed and either rolled
or planked to get the ground smooth
so that it may be cut close to the
ground to get the longest possible
straw, as it is bought by the ton and
the longer the straw the more
weight and the longer the fiber.
When flax is ripe itshould be cut
and bound and when properly cured
for stacking and haling delivered to
the nearest railway station where
the company have men to stack.
This relieves the farmers from all
worry and expense incident to
threshing, he gets his pay for each
load. We understand that farmers
in southeastern Minnesota where
this company is operating find that
is very profitable way of market
ing their flax, many receiving as
high as $4,000 an acre with no ex-
pense attached except for Irvine to
bind it with. We are also informed
that binder Irvine manufactured
from flax fiber is of superior quality
and the cost less than Irvine manu-
featured from imported fibers, and
makes a market for a product now
being burned by the farmers.
The international Flax Irvine
Co. furnish clean selected seed flax
to farmers desiring same at reason
able prices and on easy terms to en-
courage the culture of clean crops.
For samples of seed flax and full
particulars call on A. w. Lund and
c. Carisch & Son, River Falls,

Secretary George II. Drake Of the
New Hampshire state grange, being
asked by the editor Of this department
for an opinion on this subject, said: "It
is my decided opinion that it is better
to pay the actual travelling expenses
of the delegates in attendance at the
state grange, but it does not seem best
to pay their expenses for board.
THE New Hampshire state grange
officers. the. forty deputies and the
masters and their wives or husbands of
each subordinate and Pomona grange
in the state draw pay from the state
grange for the actual amount of car
and stage fare, and each is paid 81 20
per day for the time in actual attend
ance at the meeting.
'"The committee on mileage and per
diem can easily make up the expense
account of the session from the printed
list of railroad rates always at hand
which is l cent mile for the round
trip. BY paying each delegate and le-
gal attendant at the session a specified
sum we avoid any complications and
very much simplify any delicate ques-
tions that might arise concerning any
extravagant board bills"
