YAQUl DELTA NOTES.

Mr. w. R. Wilcox arrived at Esperanza on Tuesday of this week and is also looking over the delta lands with view to locating here in the near future.
 Mir. James Knowles and Mir. J. l.. Buck, of Ontario, Canada, are visiting the delta this week with a view to securing lands for colonial tion purposes. MT. Knowles has been here before. He was evident ly so well pleased with the valley on his first trip that he brought his friend to share his joy.
 On Monday of this week, Mir. F. H. Doland, a Chicago capitalist, visited the lands and headworks of the Richardson Construction Com pany and left Esperanza marveling at the extent of the works. Mr. Doland made many friends here and will be welcomed back when ever he feels like visiting the valley again.
 Patrick Quinn is another visitor to the delta who says the lands are not only destined to be a paradise; they are like paradise aleady in the opinion of Don Patricio. He is now resident of the valley, having purchased five building lots in Esperanza, but he has never be- fore visited the agricultural lands of the delta south of the Yaqui river pueblos.
 Mir. A. A. Lane of Los Angeles is visiting at Esperanza. He is a stockholder in both the Richardson Construction Company and in the Bufa mines. While here he is familiarizing himself with the lands of the company in the Yaqui delta. He has been visiting old friends in La Colorado, and Quay mas. From here he will proceed to Alamos for a short stay combin- ing business with pleasure.
 On Thursday of last week Messrs. Frank and Lewis Richardson, Ernest Ramsburgh, Harry Walton, Arthur Harper and Thomas Cook arrived at Esperanza for a stay of several days during which they visited the lands of the Richardson Construction Company and incl dentally indulged in little duck shooting. These gentlemen are all heads of departments at the Bufa mine and smelter at La Bufa, Son The mine has been compelled tC close down because of the continued Expectations of the Yaquis in the mountain regions of Sonora. The Messrs. Richardson, Ramsburgh and Walton have returned now tc their homes in Los Angeles. MT Harper has gone to his home ir Hermosillo.
