YAQU| RIVER Is VERY BUSY
 SECTION
Troops Have Indians We'll Sub dued, and the Redskins Ade' No Longer Greatly Feared By the Mining Men,

In the highly mineraIized and eXten- sive mining districts tributary to Can anea in the Yaqui river country and fast being linked closely to the city by railroad building which is going on as rapidly as men and money can make it move from both ends of the line. there is constantly growing activ- ity, says the Cananea Herald.
 The headway this has been making recently, is, from reports that are re- ceived from variety of sources, ex- ceedingly rapid. Advance of the rail road building has had marvellous ef- feet in awakening general interest in the country and bringing about new prospecting and development. Dissi- patton has consequently occurred in large measure of the fear of Yaqui h. dian interference which for several years held the country back. While this is not yet completely gone and op- eratiOns are still retarded in some quarters by it, conviction has been brought to all thinking people that the remaining possible life of the scare is very limited; that the Yaqui outlaws are at this time operating only to the extent of procuring supplies from pack trains and that the Mexican troops are fast rounding up the scattered bands for deportation.
 As a result of the situation that has been brought about there is activity on all sides in the lower country in the requirement of ground, and those who are now getting in with property and those who have worked in the districts | during the last few years to the end of
 making mines, despite the constantly l spread rumOrs, they are also going
 to be largely responsible for the mak- | ing within few years of enormous in-
 crease in mineral production from the | wonderfully rich mineral zones of the state and the employment of vastly
 more labor and mining equipment. Illustrative of the present manner of 1 conduct of the YaQuis is a dispatch | received by the Herald from a cores | pendent at Bananichi. He says that 2l miles northeast of that point. at
 Puerta Veil, on the crest of the mount ain trail. a band of about 20 Yaguis | last week stopped a burrO train. rob bed it of the supplies carried, food and clothing, and then turned it loose Report of the affair was brought tc
 Bananichi by burro drivers who fled back over the trail. A party immedi ately left ill pursuit of the Indians.
 Confirmation of the above report
 was secured in this city last Wednes
 day from Robert Graham, who al. rived on that day from Huepac, $
 miles from the scene of the holdup
 MT. Graham stated that the same day the hOld-up occurred John Tender i'm cI CabOrca, came over the trail the bur TO train was following, being a short
 distance ahead of the latter and ac companied only by his mozo. They
 were not disturbed in any manner by the Indians. Later investigation
 developed the fact that the Indians had undoubtedly been camped alons
 the trail for several weeks. As the trail had been frequented by both MeXicans and Americans without !, hindrance it becomes evident that tht Indians were there solely in wait fol
 supplies which they needed, and kRev
 they could get by rifIing the firs pack train that came along. They are remaining along the tops of tht mountains in difficult country and l are neither threatening nor attempt ! ing interference with mining or othel operations in the section, except il so far as their necessities drive then to steal food and clothing in order tt
 remain in the hills and evade captur
 and deportation.
 MT. Graham was accompanied il from Huepac by J. Gordon Hardy who went out with him a couple O weeks ago to examine and report ol 5 the Colorado Development Co. pror !. erty, of which MT. Graham is presi i dent and general manager. With Nil F Hardy he left during the week fo New York where he is a member O
 the engineering staff of John B. Fal ish. The report of MT. Hardy vii be presented to the interests whicl 1 are behind reorganization of the Col . orado Mining Company which chang 9 will come about while Mir. Graham i f in New York and which will be at
 complished by determination upoi
 future plans for the development an the procuring of such machinery a the advanced stage of development O the property now calls for. AmonI : this machinery will be a mill for tn 2 operation of which MT. Graham ha
 brought in sight large amount lore.
