Bl~BEE. Jsn IT, Since the news ',, gone forth of ne final ending of ,n, Napui vu through the signing of th, peace '-cny at llcrmosilla last Monday thrrc ha. been au awakening uf interest u sonora mining proper. tc, ,03. ul. far to grow into the biggest boom th,, ho. ever been in- ouguu',j in The adlaccn, state of the southern republic. The Yaqu d'or der, nave. more than arv other factor. retarded tnc development of the rich miucra. d strict, of sonora and with che Naqui, of inc warpath and devot- ing their tune Co labor and the tilling of ihe soil in the fertile sections where they have for years resided, the mining industry in sonora. and espec- ially iu the once infested districts. will have an opportunity to expand to its rigutful proportions.
 All ot thc large mining interests in ;hc southwest are already preparing ,o send men into the sonora field for the purpose of picking up valuable properties before the boom. which is surely coming. succeeds in inAating the prices of Mexican mines ana pros poets. They can be had at present at very reasonable figures. but just as soon aS there is general movemen, toward the acquisition of properties fin Sonora, the prices are bound to ad. vance. just as they have in the various mining districts of Arizona after an important deal is consummated.
 Sonora Is rigb,fully classed as one of the richest mineral countries of the world. Almost every kind of preeiou, and base mineral can be found in the state. and in paying quantities, and it Is safe to predict that within the course of a very short time Sonora will furnish some of the richest gold and copper mines in the world. There is vast country south of Cananea and between the Yaqui river and the coast, almost all of which is heavily mineralized, and which has scarcely been scratched below the surface. Nu. merous small, companies have operated in this isolated country during the las, half dozen years, but it is doubtful if there has been paying venture though thousands nave been expended, in the entire country. south of the Nacozari and Cananea districts.
 The network of railroads which is being constructed by the Hartman in. tcrests throughout the state of Sonora will do more than all else 10 further the development of the country, and vita the Iaquis disposed of. for n time at least, there will be nothing to hinder the progress of the mining in dustry of the state. IL may be possi. blc that the Yaquis will not remain in submission forever, but an adherence to thc terms of the peace treaty for a few years will he sufficient By that time the country will he thoroughly under control. if so So completely Amcricanized. that it will be impossi. ble for hostile redskins to do anything that will seriously retard the growth and prosperity of Sonora
 The influx of mining men and pros pectors into the Sonoa fields is expect. ed to be very heavy one within the next few months. and 1t is certain that numerous important mining deals will be eonsummated within very brief period,
 Now that peace has been brought about tho many prospectors and others interested in Mexican property are anxiously awaiting the raising the em. bargo on the importation of firearms into Sonora. The ban was placed on firearms by the government because in many instances Americans had been killed for their weapons and the en. forcemcnt of the order was very strict. Many still hesitate to go into the interior of the formerly Yaqui in. Tested region without protection and they would like to see the embargo raised at once
