THE RETURN TRIP
From MazatIan to Cullacan, Passing
in the Day What was Missed at
Night Going Down. Slow Progress.


trip called for departure from
Mazatlan Friday, which would
give arrival at Culiacan under the
most unfavorable auspices in time
amply sufficient to take the regular
passenger train northward Sunday
afternoon. Construction trains upon
a railway not yet open to traffic
are an uncertain quantity. They
are never known to leave at the
time set. And there is no knowing
when they will get through to des-
tination. while never are they
known to depart from the initial
station before the time set. "Never?
Well, hardly ever" And Friday
was the day in which the train
from Urias, opposite Mazatlan, to
Culiacan got away nearly an hour
earlier than the time set. Despite
assurances of experienced friends
that the train would not get away
from Urias less than an hour or so
late the writer took no chances but
gave himself nearly an hours
leeway in point of time. Upon
arrival he was dismayed at the in
formation that the train had started
Just thirteen minutes previously.
So the same carriage returned him
to Mazatlan, where his pleasant
sojourn was extended thus a day.
Saturday the trains departure was
set for s o'clock in the morning.
Taking breakfast in the market
before daylight and an early start
the scribe was at Urias at $50.
The train got away at 10 o'clock.
But the time was passed pleas
antly and profitably looking over
the busy scene, meeting many
known already and making new
acquaintance. The place is the
material yard and headquarters
for the construction department oil
the railway. There are the tenn
porary offices of the Grant Brothers
Construction Company, Mr.. Angus
Cashion in charge; and the Office
OF Mr.. S. L. Wakulewicz, superin,
tendent and engineer of construc.
ton, who was at Lomas last year
IN charge of construction on the
Nogales- Cananea line.
From Urias a short branch line
will enter Mazatlan. 1t is con
structed now to point near the
causeway that crosses the estuary
between Mazatlan and the main
land; but it is said that the branch

seventy kilometers from 765 to 686
the train passes close to the beach,
upon which the breakers dash in
riotous power, and beyond them
the great rollers are seen swelling
along the bosom of the ocean as
far as the eye can reach. The
longest stretch where the track
skirts the beach is that between
kilometers 696 and 1856, the latter
near the Elota river, crossing
which the road leads farther in
land, the shore of the ocean reced-
ing to the westward gradually.
From Urias to the Quelite river
the region traversed is slightly un-
dulating, covered with the same
jungle that is seen everywhere, the
luxuriance of its growth betoken-
ing rich and fertile soil. In the
bottom lands of the Quelite, which
is thirty kilometers from Urias the
jungle has been cleared from large
tracts and the soil brought under
cultivation yielding fruitfully.
The jungle seemed fairly alive with
parrots and paroquets, and wher-
ever the train stopped at a camp
to supply water or unload provis-
ions, the air was burdened with
their harsh and dissonant cries.
Mr.. Gerardo Yzabal of Hermo-
sillo, who was passenger on the
the train called attention to many
peculiar trees rising from the Jungle
that are named the dUd. The tree has
a tall slender, sinuous bole, about
the diameter of an ordinary bridge
pile to height of sixty-6ve or sew
enty feet, where it branches an un-
symmetrical top without leaves,
but bearing a greenish fruit about
the size of small grape fruit,
which is edible, but purgative in
its qualities medicine rather
than a food. The bark of the tree
is whitish grey in color, and scanned
somewhat, like the bark of white
oak, but not so rough.
Seventy-four kilometers from
Urias, kilometer 696 from Quay
mas, the road crosses the Piaxtala
river, where there is in course OF
construction long, steel bridge, Of
seventeen spans and approaches,
the entire structure to be about
200 feet in length. The main struc-
ture will be 1860 feet long, the
spans eighty feet each in length. AS
yet the work in hand is prelimin.
airy. none of the piers having beer
set and of course none of the
spans in place. There will have
to be considerable fast work tc
have the structure completed ir
time for the rainy season.
UP the PlaXtla river some thirty
five miles lies San Ignacio, the cen,
ter of a very rich mining regior
that is attracting considerable at
tention in the outside world. Al
mentioned in the correspondence
of last week Mr.. John Maloney i,
superintendent of a gold mine il
the vicinity of San Ignacio which
is operated by Los Angeles capital
The upper reaches of the Quelit,
river are also in rich mining re
gions. In fact all the mountain
regions of Sinaloa are rich in min
erals, and the advent of the rail
way making them much NOR,
readily accessible than formerly, i
giving decided impetus to opera
tions thereon.

large plate filled with what
seemed apple turnovers, halved.
The crust was crisp and delicious,
and the filling had all the appear
ance Of dessicated apples we'll
cooked. 1t was quite sweet but had
peculiar taste. Several of the
party partook freely each eating
two or three Of the halved turn
overs. At the first mouthful the
writer baked. Surely it was not
an apple turnover. What is it he
asked of his left hand neighbor,
who was beginning upon his third
piece. 'sweet potato" was the re-
ply. Another bite; surely it did
taste like the sweet tuber, some
what, but not sufficiently to meet
the description. Pumpkin" averred
another, and it was somewhat like,
but plainly not the real thing.
Dried apple" declared another,
but he was secuted. Then the
Chinese cook was asked what was
it, and he paralyzed all with the
assertion that it was made from
"bins-frijoles." Did you ever
hear of such a combination?-pie
made from frVoIes, ordinary Mex
ican red beans. At the thought
the party who had devoured three
pieces left the table hastily, saying
his appetite was satisfied, and later
the train conductor was taken with
cholera morbus.
At nightfall the Elota river was
reached, the same place where
night came on when the trip south
ward was made earlier in the week.
1t is just 100 kilometers from Urias
and 100 from Culiacan. Thence to
the San Lorenzo river at Osa,
sixty-Gve kilometers south of
Culiacan, the train dragged along
until midnight. Then there the
conductor was ordered to tie up
and return to Urias in the morn
ing, which he did, leaving the pas
sengers to await train that was
said to be coming out from Culia-
can Sunday morning. There was
nothing to do but wait, which was
done with as good grace as possi-
BILE. Among the passengers was a
Mr.. Suter, a railway construction
employe who had come up from
Urias to attend some business in
connection with the work at the
San Lorenzo river. The gentleman
had an abundance of bedding
which he shared with the writer

be spread on the floor Of the tele
graph office. All OF Sunday wa
passed awaiting the train, which
came from Culiacan about O'CLOCK
in the evening, and turned, bu

Mr. Perelstrous visit here is purely
a vacation trip, and not until after he
landed did he think of taking up the
immigration problem. Some two years
ago he discussed Hawaii with James
Low. and he has come here with the
intention of purchasing home, which
he expects to occupy during part of
each year.
Perelstrous is one of the largest con-
tractors in Asiatic Russia, his head
quarters being at Vladivostok. He

cultural pursuits, into this Territory

DriIling to Begin.

VIM. Kingsley, who has Sc
cured a lot of leases near this
city, is getting ready to do some
drill prospecting right away, and
has made a contract with 0. M.
Youse of this city to do the work.
Mr.. Kingsley will have the first
drilling done on the Campbell
farm, just north of town, and he
is very confident that he will
make a strike of pay mineral. 1t
has been claimed by practical
miners for several years that ore
would be found on the Campbell
farm, and now that some drill
ing is to be done it is hoped the
effort to find pay dirt will prove
successful.

Majors Makes a Raid.

Since the repeating of the old
prohibitory law, and the enact
ment of the new one, certain fell
lows seem to think it. would be
safe to open up in the joint bust
ness again. They claim the
present law is not a good one,
and will not stand test in the
Supreme court, and this is no
doubt true, but Mr.. Majors, the
county attorney, says it is not
his province to pass on the con-
stitutionality of the law, and I'M
til it is declared a bad law, he
will continue to make trouble
for the jointist. On Friday OF
last week he made wholesale
raid on a lot of jointists, and now
there is much mourning because
of the raid.
AS to the constitutionality OF
the new law we know nothing,
but it. is claimed by some OF the
best attorneys in the state to be
no good, and some of the lawyer
members of the Legislature say II
is no good, and that they knew
it was a bad law when they
passed it. If this is true, those
members were recreant to the
trust placed in them, and will
be remembered by their constitu-
entS.
In the meantime Mr.. Majors
will continue to enforce the law
and let the convicted gentlemen
carry the matter to the Supreme
court,

In another place in this paper
will be found the statement of
the Baxter National Bank. By
reference to the statement it will
be seen that the deposits have
increased $4,000 since the last
statement was published. The
bank has on hand cash and sight
exchange to the amount of $780,
600, and the deposits amount to
$4,000, showing about 20 per
cent of the deposits on hand. The
banking law requires only 20 per
cent of the amount of deposits to
be kept on hand. The Baxter
National bank has more cash on
hand than any other bank with
in large radius. We are told
that the loans could have been
more, but the Baxter National
has been holding its money to
loan to farmers to help handle
the crops. The money could have
been loaned away from here, but
has been held for home and local
use

The next Booster Day for Bax'

August 7, and it is the intention
of the parties having the matter
in charge to make it the hum
dinger of them all. The Booster
Day idea is a good one, and the
merchant who does not help the
matter along is standing in his
own light. People are going to
have money to spend this fall,
and it behooves Mr.. Merchant to
get busy and get people in the
habit of coming to Baxter.
Let everybody join right in and
help push this matter along. It
will pay an hundred fold, and al
so it would be mighty good idea
for each merchant to make a
special effort to get business on
that day. Let him make some
special prices on a few items

they made. If you doubt this
