NATIVES FOR cANANEA.
BI9 Copper Camp VIII Employ Larger
 Force Than Ever Before.

l. The silence of the once glorious camp is pathetIc There are about 200 men, practically all natives, at work in and about the plants and tho different mines merely to make neces- sary Improvement. maintain the in- tegrity of the works and vindicats the respective concessions of the owners, says the Review.
 The splendid days of the Greene Scott White Kirk regime are a thing of the past. It must be conceded that Greene was the best friend the gringo ever had in Sonora. It is insisted, also, with some showing of logic. that he was better than he could afford to he. considering the character, resources and values in the big mines. When OananeA resumes. which is strictly in. definite, it will do SO along native labor lines, with reduced wages. The Cole management insists that the values in the mine will not, with the present price of copper, justify white wages.
 The Greene-Oananea proposes to get down to business. so as to declare dividends and in order to do this they will have to employ the system em- ployed by the Moctezuma Copper com- pany at Nacozari. They have 30 much more ore in sight. it will average go much with copper at a certain figure; and they know exactly what they can afford to pay to realize a dividend. Under these conditions, it is practical ly certain that Oananea will gradually resume work until it employees more men than ever before in it's history, re- quiring greater number of native laborers to perform the same work than it would of skilled Americans.
 Oananea, however, will find 1t neces. sary to employ more white men than does Nacozari, for the reason that the ground is of totally different char acter, requiring in the first named in stance a vast amount Of timbering and careful work.

Colonel William Herring, former chancellor of the board of regents of the University of Arizona, finding the main gate on the driveway leading to the university grounds locked, sent his coachman down town for an ax and himself knocked the lock off the gate.
 Colonel Herring said he had taken unusual measures because he deemed then necessary to shaw to whoever was responsible for the order locking the driving gates into the grounds that these should be kept open, especially on evenings when public lectures were given at the university.-Exchange.

ArlzOna'S New Prison.

The last obstacle to the beginning of work on .he territorial prison at Florence has been brushed aside by the furnishing by Architect Fitzhugh of Los Angeles. this week, of the TO- quired S15 ,OOO bond as assurance that he will keep within the territorial ap- propriation of $12O,OOO.
 Secretary J. J. Riggs of the terri torial board received a letter from Architect Fitzhugh the first of the week, stating that he would arrive in Phoenix some time during the week to furnish the required bond. While this bond is conceded by all to be very high one, the board has taken that means of protecting the territory against 8 heavier expenditure than the s12O.O00 appropriation for the material and construction of the in stitution according to the architects plans. In case the latter fails to do this, the additional expense will in volve upon him and not on the terri tory.
 The deed from Hereford IS Hazard to the prison site arrived last week and is on record at the court house.
 The quit claim deed from James Denier to the penitentiary site, ar rived last Wednesday and was also placed on record and this clears away any suspicion of cloud on the title. Next week the work of building 8 stockade for the prisoners and sinking a we'll at the site will be commenced, and from that time on work will be pushed in earnest and the walls of the new institution will soon be looming up. And if the predictions of some of the gentlemen to be connected with the work, come true. by the middle or latter part of next January, the build ing will be so far completed as to be ready for the prisoners.-Florence Blade.

PEACE WITH YAQUIS.
President Dlaz Is Now Taking a Per.
 sonaI Interest In the Matter.

According to reports there is now a strong possibility for peace with the Yaqui Indians of Sonora, thus ending the long and bloody strife which has wrought ruin to that noble tribe of in dustrious people and held back the rich mineral section which they in habit. Undoubtedly the building of the Oananea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad is the principal factor in bringing about peace as it is the thing above all others which will build up the rich state of Sonora and the Pa cific coast of Mexico.
 The heart of humanity goes out to the Yaquis, naturally 8 peaceful, in dustrious, agricultural people. But right or wrong, az they had put their hands against men. their doom was sealed and extermination stared them in the face, For their sake as well as for that of the rich section which they inhabit, it is hoped that peacs will be made and that it will be permanent. The m arch of progress with the rail- road is rapidly settling down the west coast and it will not stop for the Va quis nor anything else.
 The Yaquis are generally acknow- ledged to be the best native workers in all Mexico. They are needed bad ly in Sonora. as laborers If peace can be made they will be 6 valuable asset in the future progress of that state. Some 5000 of them have been transported to Quintana Roo and Yucatan in the horrible tropical clim- ate of which they are certain to die like sheep. Deportation means ex- termination surer than the rifles of | the Mexican soldiers.
 There was time, SO the old timers say. when the hand of Yaqui was never raised against any one except . Mexican. But that time has passed, and in their desperation they have been murdering all who came in their way. This is the nature of all In dians.
 The merits of the Yaqui troubles we shall not discuss as that IS an affair between them and the Mexican gov ernment. According to the best in formation we have, President DIaz is taking hand in the matter now and peace looks probable. It appears that the Yaquis will be willing to go on . reservation and live peacefully pro- vided they get substantial assurance that they will be protected in their rights. In the mean time, uncon- ditional surrender is demanded of them. Peace has to come, no matter what the cost ost--Chihuahua Enterprise

Upon the completion of the changes planned in the smelling department the Arizona Copper company will have iirst-class smelter and will be in position to in- crease the output. They have also made extensive improvements at the various producing mines, increasic g the output and reducing the cost of mining and transportation. all ot which will show up to advantage in their record for this year.-Oopper Era.
