Condemning man on account Of his

and one that has its conception IN she
brains Of young men. 1t is the most
senseiess argument that was ever used
to bias public sentimwent. The history
Of the whole world is against il. Pat
riarchs Of old held the highest and most
responsible offices. The history OF Rome
Of Greece, Of ancient Persia, and Of ey-
ery nation to the present century, did
not lind their grey-beards too Oh to
fill the highest places, The wisdom
Of the old men was acknowledged and
appreciated. Such sentiments as are
now advanced as to their unftness
would have been sneered at, and should

From competent authority it is learned that the United States treasury department, recognizing the need for custom house at Nogales, has determined to urge passage of the bill introduced into the House by Delegate Cameron at the special session, and is making every arrangement to secure a site and begin construction of such an edifice as soon as the bill has passed and an appropriation is made. It is related that when Judge Burton Parker of the treas- ury department visitel N1gales last week he came with instructions to look up an available site suitable for large building that will ace commodate the customs business here for at least ten years to come. As soon as Judge Parker reports to the department an architect will prepare plans, and it is expected that the activity of the department officials directed through the prop- CT channels will result in speedy enactment of Mir. Cameron's meas ure and an appropriation to carry
 out it's provisions early in the regu-

ATTRACTING ATTENTION.
c Survey of Mining Operations In So- nora as Presented by . Great Msvss- paper ln london.

tracing great attention In all quarters of the world goes without saying; but one hardly realizes how great is the interest felt until they see in the columns of such journals as the Financial News of London such articles as the follow ing, which appeared in the issue of that paper dated October 10th:
 HERMosILLo (MExIco), Septem- Der 24.-Sonora is in the throes of mining boom, and many new de. nouncements are recorded daily in the different mining agencies. The Sonora Copper Company is install ling hoist and machinery on it's main working tunnel, and is also considering the building of 100 ton smelter. The mining revival in Sonora is also stimulating rail- road construction. The Cieneguita and Sonora Central Railroad is about to commence the building of a line northeast into the Sahuaripa country, distance of 70 kilome- tres. Connection will be made with the Rio Yaqui line of the Southern Pacific at Tonichi, near Barranca. American and Mexican prospectors are passing through Barranca almost every day looking for mines and locating prospects, in view of the railway develop ments in that district.
 The Carmen Mine, Arizpe, Sono- ra, shipped carload of ore through the Douglas customs smelter that was worth $25,000 gold. Another carload of rich ore Is expected from the Monte Cristo Mine, Moctezum ma, where developments on the lower levels promise to show even greater wealth than on the 100 foot level, where $l,250,000 worth of silver and gold has already been mined. The last carload averaged 673 OF. silver and $3 gold per ton.
 Mir. F. G. Foreshaw (superinten' dent of Goteras Mines group, Barranca, Sonora) has just return. ed from a visit in London. He re. ports the purchase of a 60 ton plant, which will be installed i'm. mediately, and it is stated that he is sinking the shaft rapidly to in tersect the Barranquita Reef, which at this point should give 750 foot of backs, in addition to the reserves on the Las Goteras. Since his re- turn it is stated that the value o the ore reserves has been added tc by nearly 99000,

Three hundred miles from north to south, and anywhere from 100 to 150 miles wide, the whole of that dis. trict is gold.placer country show ing high values. It Is said the railway will be extended through this area; if 50, it will open up a great country.
 Within a few months the mill at the El |Tigre mine, Sonora, will be doubled; the effect will be to raise the output from $100,000 to $250,. 900 per month. Milling ore, at present, averages $22 to $25 per ton in gold and silver; shipping ore averages 300 OF. silver, with $ to 8 OF. gold per ton. In August one of the biggest strikes yet re- ported was made in sinking winze from the 4th level, where the vein which was discovered gave $500 OF. per ton in silver for a width of l3 in., and 8 it. of milling ore for an average of $40 per ton.
 The Clark Copper Company, which took over the Promont0rio mine, at Minas Nuevas, some time ago, is ready to commence milling, and 35 and 50 tons will be crushed and concentrated daily. The old stopes are estimated to contain 250,000 tons of ore worth 2 per cent. copper and 10 oz. silver, with a further 100000 tons on the dump
 worth l4 per cent. copper and 84 OF. silver. The ore now being de.
 veioped runs 8 per cent. copper
 and 20 to 30 oz. silver per ton and some gold.
