SONORA IS THRIVING

According 10 A. L. Lewis, the well known metal and ore buyer who re turned to the city yesterday evening from an extended trip through Sonora every industry iii that state is talk ing on new life and prosperity as the result of the settlement of the troubles with the Yaqui Indians which had been preventing many i'm portant enterprises from going for ward for several years.
 During the present week one of the last bands of the Yaqui Indians came into Hermosillo and surrender ed as a result of the treaty made with Chief Bule at the beginning of the year. It is now believed that there is no more hostile Yaquis in the state and this assurance is put ting several mining enterprises back into activity which have been dor mant on account of danger from In dians.
 Several properties in the vicinity of Hermosillo and tributary to that city have resumed operation and ore is being brought to that city. Also the merchants of Hermosillo have no ticed that the trade which was cut Of from that city because of the Yaqui dangers is coming back from such points as tres and Arizpe.
 Mir. Lewis says that there is rapid
 agricultural development now going on along the west coast line of the Southern Pacific and that many peo pie are rushing into the Culiacan country and securing land holdings He says that more than one thou sand men are now at work on the branch of the Hartman road coming up the Yaqui river to meet the work going on south from Nacozari. This road will encounter a very rough country between it's present terminus and Moctezuma and 1t is expected that the gap will. not be closed foI two or three years.

SON IN BAD REPUTE

ABonehead" olson, who played third base for the Bisbee club in the tournament held in Tucson in the fall of 1907, and who is well known among the fans of this city, made whirlwind debut into the Coast league and as a result is in bad repute with the officials of the Pacific slope. It will be remembered that Olson at tempted dirty ball playing here and was called down op numerous occa' sions for the manner in which he con ducted himself while on the field. A coupIe of weeks following the tourna- ment in Tucson, another was held in Phoenix, and following that Phoenix and Bisbee fought 1t out for the championship of the territory. It was during that series that Bone head" brought disgrace on his team. mates by slugging Kid Pierce, the south-paw wonder Phoenix had brought from Wichita.
 Those who heard of Olson's dis graceful actions in the Coast league are not surprised. Olson, who is a member of the regular Portland in. field. it is said, deliberately spiked Captain Dillon of the Los Angeles club. The cowardly act all but pre- cipitated a free-for-all fight, only the presence of a few cool heads prevent ing a riot With the feeling against him running high, Olson only smiled and committed ? similar offense 8 mnute lated by jumpink into Wheel CT, who was holding down the second sack for the Los Angeles club.
 Two scathing reports of Olson's conduct were sent to Manager Ewing of the Coast league, and it is likely that the affair will result disastrously to the future welfare of the young ster. Some of the fans here are act ually delighted over Olson's trouble and take it as a mark of revenge 1T connection with his actions here.

 Chas. A. Dnsmore, editor of the Fl Paso Mining Journal, writing to l the Fl Paso Times fro mthis city, says:
 When I left Ei Paso this morning one of the boys in the postoftice asked me to closely observe the Apache country as we passed through, as he
 he and a lot more of the postal clerks with headquarters in Fl Paso were
 interested in farming lands there. l have spent about all the money l could raise the last year riding over the Southwestern, but never with | thought of any farming land, so this request surprised me and I kept a lookout all the way-and there IS
 lot of fine farming land.
 That we brought good deal of It | into Douglas and got rid of 1t at the Gadsden IS 1othing against the quail | ty of the soil. but merely emphasizes | the occurrence of a dry rain on. yes. we got as fine a dinner as we ! ever ate Tt Hachita-in the dining
 car
 But on to Apache. There must be | fifty small homes within a radius of ten miles about Apache, all new l they are justified. The soil looks good and is said to be deep and rich. With water it produces abundantly. Wells are being sunk at short intervals | through this beautiful valley, hem med in on the north by terraced basalt hills and to the south by erup- tives and lime In no instance has there been failure to secure water
 sufficient for stock, fruit trees and
 home use. and, of course, the science of intensive farming throughout this section must eventually mean doing | without other moisture than is af forded by the benefcent Being guid ing all our destinies. In riding
 through the valley one will notice many stacks of hay and other evt dences of success-and one would judge that those postoficians who are in on this land deal would better be i zin saving the cords Uncle Samue furnishes so that they may tie alfal
 ia with it, cause think they'll make good.
 q went out to the c. and A. smelt CT this afternoon and am able to tel | of a world record. Superintendent James Wood informed me that a bis | Parsons turbine generating 500 kw
 at a speed of $500 revolutions pei minute, which was started full ca pacity April 22, last year, had nevel
 been shut down a minute since. Thi!
 is the best l ever heard of.
 And. by the way, I asked MT
 Wood if the c. and A would curtai production. He stated he did not be lieye that was the intention, especial ly as any curtailment would mean in crease in the cost of production. Her,

ta and Kirk workings" said Thomas Cole, president of the Greene-Cana- nea company. who arrived in Douglas this morning, having left Cananea yesterday, after having been fin that district for several days. Here good bodies of high grade smelling ores are being developed which will fur nish an important tonnage"
 Outlook Bright.
 Continuing Mir Cole said: The outlook for Cananea is bright and it's permanent future is assured. if pres ent conditions may be relied upon The continued efforts of the men in the mining department has resulted in a notable reduction in mining cost and a still further reduction in cost will be accomplished in the future. "The successful working out of the problem of mixing the production of ores. concentrates and slag and the mechanical handling of the same un- til it reaches the blast furnaces re fleets great credit on Dr. Ricketts and his able assistants.
 'The result of smelting fiue dust in the reverberatory furnace is one of the successful features of the reduc- tion plant Close to 100 engine horse power is being secured from the waste heat of the reverberatory fur. mace and this power is now being utilized.
 Too much credit could hardly be given to Messrs. Ricketts. David Cole, Kirk, Shelby and their associates for the splendid economies inaugurated at Cananea and they yet have in view many places where savings of thir ty to one hundred per cent can still be made. This work of reducing the cost of production at Cananea is still receiving the earnest attention of the officials. who expect to accomplish other savings in the future
 cole-Ryan Shelters. MT. Cole was asked about the ru- nor that has reached Douglas that the Cole-Ryan interests were con templating a mammoth copper smel- i ter in Douglas. but MT. Cole had al ready donned his golf suit and re fused to give any expression regard l ing this rumor.
 1t is the intention of Mir. Cole to remain fin this vicinity for several days vet before returning east. He | has not yet visited the mines at Bis bee but expects to do so before leav' ing for home.

IRON ORE EDITOR HERE

Geo. A. Hewitt, editor of Iron Ore. published at Ishpemig, Michigan, ar rived in Douglas this morning from Cananea, where he had been on a wis it of several days, accompanying Thomas Cole to that district. MT. Hewitt publishes an excellent weekly newspaper and devotes it's columns principally to the mining industry. Owing to the large number of men who became interested in the mines of this section of Arizona and Sonora, beginning with the advent of the Cal umet and Arizona in the Warren dis trict. Mir Hewitt has kept well in formed and has kept his readers well informed as to the development and progress of Arizona and Sonora. Iron ore is regarded everywhere as a con servative and reliable mining journal which gathers weekly a vast amount of interesting information. It has a considerable circulation throughout this mining section.

CUT THROUGH ORE BODY


 Tn making a cut on the side of a hill on its line between Courtland and Gleeson the Mexico and Colorado railroad has cut through a body of carbonate ore for sixty feet on one of the claims of the Leadville Mining company. This ore was encountered in the cut when ten to twelve feet deep near the surface. The ore IS of excellent value, running from five tO seven per cent copper.
 This news was brought to the city yesterday by Charles McKean, who regards this unexpected development on the Leadville property as another evidence of the great wealth which will be encountered in the Courtland district.
 This railroad development of a body of copper ore right on the sur face was where no development work had ever been done on the property. It was on theside of a hill which has a heavy iron capping.
 Speaking of Courtlanc, Mir. Me Keap said that every thing was mak- ing good progress and that the busi- ness enterprises were receiving in creased volumes of trade. A mail service has been inaugurated be- tween Bisbee and Courtland which will greatly facilitate business.

"The important feature at Cananea just now is the development work which is being prosecuted vigorously at many different points on the Greene-Cananea property. Large bod

The forty-foot shaft on the H. D. c. Buford property, one-half mile north west of town, was retimbered and cleaned out this week. and two men are now at work sinking.
 Though there were practically no surface indications to justify the sink ing of a shaft at this point, Mir. Bu- ford, the owner of the property, from his knowledge of the formations thereabouts thought it was good place to do some work, and subse- quent events proved the wisdom of his plan. For there was developed an excellent lead of iron sulphides and carbonates, continuing with depth and frequently carrying good values in silver-some of the pret- test and most promising iron to be found ia the district. and there Is plenty of It.
