The lyric Theatre.

Sunday evening the new Lyric Theatre of Con O'Keefe, was opened to the public by the lessees, Quinn Brothers from Douglas, and there was large audience in attendance upon the initial performance-some 600 being present. The perform ances have continued through the week and the audiences have been pleased and satisfied. The moving pictures are of the highest class, and very perfect. It is the intention of the lessees, Quinn Brothers, to give the public the very best in everything-moving pictures, vaudeville, standard dramas and musical entertain ments-operas, etc. The new house will be one in large circuit which will book and present many of the best theatrical and operatic sttrac- tions on the road. The theatre it. self is commodious and arranged very conveniently and attractively. It is a decided acquisition 10 Mo- gales and speaks greatly for the public spirit and enterprise of the owner, MT.

 Carpenters and builders for the construction of 125 houses at En- palme, Mexico, are sought by R. w. Patterson, an assistant engineer for the Southern Pacific Company, who is now at the Hollenbeck Hotel.
 "Empalme is new boom town at the Southern end of the Sonora line, and the houses which are to be erected will be used by Southern Pacific employees. Besides active laborers to be employed, Patterson is seeking the service of reliable contractors. He will remain in this city until the end of this week."

Passing of Geo. Howard.

Early Sunday morning MT. Geo. Howard, who had been suffering many months from a severe and lingering illness, passed away, and Monday afternoon his remains were given sepulture under the direction of Papago Tribe of Improved Order of Red Men, the burial service of the Episcopal church being read by Rev. A. Bolt of St. Andrews church. Deceased was well and widely known along the border, having resided many years in southern Arizona, at Tucson, No- gales, Tombstone, Bisbee, and other points, and had in each place a large circle of friends who will regret to learn of his demise. To mourn his loss deceased leaves a widow who has the sympathy of an extended circle of friends.

''Whol WhoalI"

A good story comes from down the Sonora railway ways, where a we'll known mining man has re- ceived recently a new automobile, The first trip out to the mine and return went off all right without a mishap or incident. It was on the return of the second trip that the fun came in. As he ran the machine into town and swung around in the open space between the depot and the town something happened or the hero of the tale forgot the com bination and couldn't stop. Ex- citedly he raised to his feet, pulled with all his might on the steering wheel, Gas if he were holding back on the lines of a runaway team and shouted at the top of his voice "Whoal Whoa!l Whoa!ll" while the rubbernecking crowd looked on in great glee; and they are talking about it yet.

 As Zubiate is but twelve miles from La Colorado (Minas Prietas) Archie will be on his "old stamp ing ground" again when he takes hold. During three or four years past he has made his home in Los Angeles.

Work to Resume at zubiate.

The following from the Los An geleS Herald of Monday will be read with great interest in Sonora:
 "The Suerte Gold and Silver Mining company of Los Angeles has secured the services of A. $. Mackenzie, a competent and we'll known mine and mill man, to take charge of its property, the Zubiate mine near Hermosillo, Mexico, and shortly after the first of the new year expects to start up it's fifty stamp mill for a continuous run.
 "The Zubiate mine is one of the old silver-gold producers of that section, and is credited with an output of $3,000,000 above the water level. Some time ago the mine was purchased by the Zubiate Mining company, who sank three compartment shaft to depth of $50 feet, opening up vein of good ore. The mill, because of lack of practi- cal management, failed to extract the values, and the company, after many vicissitudes, lost title to the property. With Mir. Mackenzie in charge the new company, which was formed to take over the mine after a thorough sampling, feels assured of success.
 John Cabral, who has been foreman of the mine under differ ent owners, in a report made to the manager, George F. Colton, says that a vein of ore measuring from five to nine feet between walls, has been developed which will break fifty ounces silver to the ton, besides $3.50 in gold. The vein has been developed for sixty feet both ways from the shaft, and there are several hundred tons, of ore, said to be equally as good, left on the dumps above the mill awaiting treatment.
 "The mine is equipped with a hoist, air compressor, pump, assay office and blacksmith shop, be- sides buildings for the acommoda. ton of the employees and modern fifty-stamp mill. The company is composed solely of residents ol Los Angeles. J. P. Sheffaer is pre-. sident, H. E. Hales secretary and Charles Strong treasurer, the addi tional directors being V. V. Coch rane of the Citizens Tranfer com pany. J. w. Brunton of the Brun ton company and George F. Coltor of the California Marble company who is general manager"

RAILWAY INVESTMENT. A Fine and Fruitful Field Offered in the
 Sahuaripa District of Sonora.

a3ss HH2us
 As a field for investment of capi- tai in a railway enterprise the Sahuaripa district of Sonora re- sembles more nearly the mining re- gions of the state of Colorado than any similar area that 1 have visited at any time; and my travels as mining man and newspaper man have covered almost the entire re- zion between the City of Mexico and the British possessions. In both Colorado and the Sahuaripa district the geological conditions are very similar, and invariably all mining engineers and experts who have visited the district named have pronounced it one of the richest in natural mineral TO- sources upon the face of the earth. As the mineral wealth of Colorado lay long undeveloped and practical ly unknown for the need of railway communication to render easy of access the region containing them, and never did they begin, to reach development until opened by the construction of railways, so it is with the vast mineral possibilities of the Sahuaripa district. Before the day of railway construction in Colorado only the richest mines in that wonderful region could be ex- plotted. Yet there were known to be scores and hundreds of good properties that had to remain un- touched until advent of the rail- way gave cheap and effective trans portation for the ponderous mach inery necessary for development and reduction of their immense bodies of low grade ores, and the vastamount ofsupplies necessary for sustenance and subsistence of the army of workmen employed always in such operations. 1t is the same way in the Sahuaripa district of Sonora: during more than three centuries it's rich mines have pour ed a vast stream of metallic wealth in the coffers of the commercial world; yet the men who produced all that tremendous flow of riches have had to pass unheeded vast storehouses of mineral that could not and cannot be realized save by termination of their isolation and inaccessibility, which can be ac- complished by railway transporta- tion only. Rich rewards will be reaped by the capital that may be enlisted in the great work of pene- trating that isolation and render ing accessible the great region under consideration.
 In the days of Spanish occupa- tion there were in the Sahuaripa district many localities where there was in operation wonderful activ- ity in mining operations. Among them may be mentioned La Bufa Trinidad, Mulatos, Cieneguita, Ca lera, Casita, etc. A mining en- gineer of forty years residence al Trinidad has informed me that within a radius of thirty miles from that place there were in tht days of Spanish occupation no lesl than one hundred and twenty-five mines, of which he has obtained authentic information, that were profitable producers of the precious metals. The gentleman assures me that with cheap railway trans

them VIII De placed again Tn the list of producers, and most of them are reported of such nature and characteristics that they may be counted upon to turn out perman- ent and profitable in the extreme.
 A railway through the Sahuaripa district leaving the Yaqui river at Tonichi and following the most feasible route, would pass the Nina Mexico, tapping rich mineral re- zion in that vicinity, pass on to Bacanora. thence across to the Sahuaripa river some miles north of Arevechi, and thence southward to Tacupeto, tapping rich mineral regions on both sides of the valley. Leaving the river at the place last named the road would traverse the Casita, Calera and Cieneguita re- gions, passing within a few miles of Mulatos and passing near Trini- dad-thence to the Yecora valley where it would render tributary a rich mineral region in the state of Chihuahua, including Dolores, Je- sus Maria, and other camps. Such a railway would draw an abundant and profitable tonnage from all the regions named, and others that would be dependent upon it. Cieneguita alone presents colos- sal deposit of ores the exploitation of which would equal that given by Cananea, which camp has con- nection with the outside world by two lines of railway. Near Areve- chi are the ruins of Tejada, which was a noted mining camp in antiguG days. The vestiges of the buildings left at the site demonstrate that 1t must have sheltered at least 1000 people. The low grade ores now in sight there will support some time great and permanent camp. Mulatos has great bodies of gold ore that will rival the Homestake mine in South Dakota or the Treadwell mine in Alaska; and in the Mulatos river are many aurif- erous bars that will afford a pro- missing field and yield rich results to dredging operations.
 In the mountains along the route described are large areas of oak and pine timber presenting vast commercial possibilities that cannot be realized without railway transportation. The oaks yield a remarkably fine quality of wood, free from knots or blemishes, sus- ceptible of high polish and valuable for manufacture of furniture. Ex- portation of that timber would supply quite tonnage. The pine would serve for the usual uses in the mining camps that would arise.
 In the valley of the Sahuaripa river there is considerable arabic land, but development of the min ing regions would establish popu- lation that would outstrip quickly the agricultural possibilities of the valley; and the importation of hay, grain, feed, flour, and all varieties of vegetables that will come from the Yecora valley, would supply a great and profitable tonnage.
 From whatever point of view surveyed, by those familiar with the region, the Sahuaripa district of Sonora presents field for the investment of capital in railway construction that cannot fail of be- coming very profitable and produc' tive of rich dividends.
