CONFIRMS REPORT OF PEACE WITH
 yAQU|S
Governor Torres Visits Hidden Stronghold
 Of Indians

MORALES, Ariz., Jan. Uniforms ton from Ilermosillo is to the effee. that General Louis F. Torres, govern or of Sonora, and commandant of the First Military Zone, has gone to Ma catete in the mountain stronghold 0. the Yaqus, lying north of the Yaqui
 River, and fifty or sixty miles iron
 Guaymas, to close final treaty Ot peace with the Yaqui chieftains who
 have been negotiating with the au
 tnorities for such a treaty during sey. eral weeks past.
 Some weeks ago conferences were
 invited by Bule, the head chieftain of | the Yaauis, and there were held st
 Torim, on the Rio Yaqui, series of
 conferences between ex-Governor Ra
 fael Ysabel, General Torres and ths
 chiefs and ehietfains of the Yaquis
 which resulted in the formulation of s|
 program which is accepted now.
 It has taken some time to reaca all
 of the scattered predatory bands and
 bring in their chieftains to agree tc
 the proposed peace, but now all seem, accomplished and assured. This intel
 ligencc will come to the people of the
 United States as well as to the people,
 of the republic of Mexico with gen
 cral rejoicing. Every one will bel
 greatly pleased to learn that the Va.
 qui warfare is drawing to aclose.
 The long drawn out trouble which
 mas been rampant for the past two
 years has worked irreparable damage
 to the commercial interests on both
 sides of the international line. As sooi
 as the reports went out that the h. dian tribes were on the warpatn and
 that there was imminent danger for
 any one might be ambusbed or way
 laid by the Yaquis, Americans began
 at once to dcpopulate all mining sec.
 tions and hastily return to the United
 States. The mines wnich had bee,
 industriously worked and were em ploying large numbers of men wer closed down and have been idle sine, that time.
 With the peace compact these mines
 will resume operations and again th, wheels of industry will begin to turn , in hundred mines which will be pro ducing and turning out thousands ot : dollars in commercial products from now on. This is one of the greatesi mining districts in the world, and all that Mexico needs is the capital whirA !, was daily going into that section up to the time of the beginning of Yaqui s hostilities.
 !, There are thousands of acres of fer 2 tile land which yield as bountifully a' x any in the world, and which have b lain idle on account of the desultory | warfare. The fields will he cultivated { again and agriculture will becoms ' once more one of the leading indus - tries of the state of Sonora. The sam' r also with cattle raising and other in
 hhoAi''N NhlNH HdNt btfH Rttdli. h' n glected during the past few years. . This will come to Americans with Q more than passing interest, as Mexico | offers great field for operation fol k them. Capital is anxious to develop . the mining fields of Mexico and already I millions have been expended. Al s though there has been very little in . vested there recently as compared ,, with former years, n new condition
 will prevail, and new activity vii k De experienced. This will mean mucl 2 to the cities along the border, as th"' . are the supply points for norther' . Mexico in great measure and vii !. thrive and prosper.
 . Nothing could be announced whiel c would please the people more, an' e which will do more for the materia s advancement of this section of th' '. southwest. The Yaqui warfare ha c held this section back more than cal Q be realized, and now that it is n thin y of history, season of progress shoul' | be experienced which has never beei s experienced before.
 !. The Mexican government has SC
 aside $lO,000 to celebrate the fins f consummation of the efforts 10 secur d peace with the Yaquis. The celebra ton will probably be held at Herm' sillo.
