SONORA SETTINGS.

he lnduslrlol Mining company which is developing q good lead silver property westward from Carbo, is pushing work as rapidly as possible on it's long tunnel run ming to cut the ore body at a depth of 500 feet below the shaft on the ledge, from which was taken ship ment of ore that netted twenty dol lars per ton. The tunnel is getting quite close to the ledge, and it is anticipated that the welcome in- telligence will be received any day that the ore body has been pene. trated and the mine in bonanza.
 A delightful winter climate, charming scenery, fine boating, good fishing and hunting, and a fine hotel at which to put up-the Albin-beside the waters of Guay- mas bay. x
 This week there has been at the camp of the Sonora Copper Com pany. near Noria station, large party of stockholders from Kansas City, who arrived at Noria in a special Pullman car Saturday morning of last week. and remain ing at the camp and station sev- eral days. They were shown over the property by General Manager A. Nj. Conard, and all were grati- fled greatly at the showing made of large ore bodies developed and ready for stoping. Installation of an extensive reduction plant at the station is the great step to be taken, and that will follow very shortly.
 Travellers visiting Cananea will find the Hotel Sonora one of the best kept and most comfortably appointed hotels anywhere along the border. Good cooking, first class service and careful attention to all. Busses meet all trains.
 MT. z. B. Stuart, president of the Black Mountain Mining Company, arrived from the East this week, and is at the Cerro Prieto camp now. Under the concession ob- tained recently from the Mexican government, for importation of fuel oil at nominal rate of duty, the Black Mountain Mining Com pany will be consuming oil under their boilers within very short time, which will result in a great saving in the cost of operation and reduction of ores. It is estimated that the saving will be about one dollar per ton, and as the amount of rock milled daily at Cerro Prieto runs up to 800 or 600 tons the saw ing contemplated will be quite an item.
 Advices from the Yaqui river region, in the vicinity of Realito and La Dura, point to a resump- tion of activity in all lines as soon as the railway now building up the river from Corral, reaches Realito, which will be in February or March. The end of the track is at Agua Caliente, 10 which point trains are running, about eight miles below Realito. Some heavy rock work is nearly completed, and when that is finished, which will be within a week or so, the rails will be laid to Nacimiento, about

The Revenge of the Beavers.

At the reservoir at Saddleback pond
recently at Rangely beavers work in
dam construction was found to Interfere
with the water supply from Saddlehack
stream. These busy engineers had con-
strUcted tight dam which had retained
considerable of the supply of the noun
tain reservoir, and wori1nen each day
tore out their work only to find it re-
built on their next visit. Good sized
tree sections had been hauled in and
placed in the dam by the beavers. After
several destruction of the beavers dams
there was again found to be a stoppage
in the supply of water through the main
pipes. The dam had not been rebuilt.
but on close investigation it was found
that these cunning engineers in revenge
apparently had built a dense screen
across the strainer. which had prevented
the flow of water through the main pipe.

the border by which route freight from
the middle west is billed to points in

The Canadian Pacific railroad pos

what 1t wills to overcome competitors in

has long been declared that eventually
through Tightening of control en- this
side of the Canadian border the Cana
dian Pacific railroad would be in posi-
ton to capture much of the transconti-

invasion of New York city supports this
prediction.
With hands free on shore, and with
vessels of its own operating with advan-
tage under the British navigation laws,
the big transcontinental line across the
border Is certainly in a favorable posi-
ton at the present time for the handling
of transcOntinental business.

FARMER AND THE WOLF.
This Animal Costly in Some Parts of the
Country.

Vernon Bailey of the United States
bureau of biological survey declares
wolves and coyotes cost the farmers and
stock raisers of this country several
million dollars a year, and in some of
the northern states threaten the ex-
termination of deer. Wolves, it appears,
are especially numerous and destructive
IN Wyoming, although many are there
Killed and their scalps presented for
bounty.
1t has been learned in California,
however, that the presentation of coyote
scalpS Is net conclusive evidence that the
animals from which they were taken
lived, moved and had their being within
the confines of the state.
An interesting statement made by Mr..
Bailey is that elk are great natural
enemies of wolves, and he dwells on this
as of great practical significance" for
It's bearing ON the protection of stock
from the rayenouS beasts. He quotes
with unqualified approval these words
from George w. Russ of Eureka Springs,
Ark:
AN elk is the natural enemy of dogs
ana wolves. We suffered great losses
TO our flock until we learned this fact.
Since then we have had no losses from
ms cause. A few elk to thousand
acre pasture Will absolutely protect the
Hooks therein. Our own doGS are so well
aware of the danger in our elk park
THAT they cannot be induced to enter it,
so, Mr.. Bailey, suggests IAN important
use for this noblest of our game ami
| mails meaning the breeding and do
mestication of elk to do police duty on
pastures and ranges And he says elk
! breeding is AN assured success and
| promises profitable returns"
Apparently anxious to save himself
| from the charge of nature taking, and
| also to show familiarity with the highest
| authorities on the life history of the
| coyote and elk, the same official remarks
| that 1t seems doubtful if the enmity az
| the elk for coyotes extends outside of
pastures, as he had found coyote tracks
| common among elk herds in the Wind
| River mountains. And he quotes from
one of President Roosevelt's books n
| statement credited to IAN American
| hunter who said he had seen coyote
walk unnoticed among a band of elk in
| the Yellowstone park
| Whatever the truth of the matter may
be regarding the enmity of elk for wolves
and coyotes, the suggestion regarding the
| breeding of elk may be worth needing
| by California stockmen. if it be. indeed,
| an assured success. Sacramento Bee.

ELK HEADS FOR LION SKINS.
Seizures Made in the West to Stop
Illegal Killings.

Deputy State Game and Fish Com
missioner Ii. l. Pritchard seized six elk
heads yesterday on the ground that they
had been shipped into the state Illegally
Three of them were found at the Salt
Lake freight station and three in the
possession of A. r. COlburn, taxider-
mist of this city. The heads We're placed
in storage.
The heads were those of elk recently
killed and came from the state of Wy
oming where they had been shot, it is
asserted, by two brothers. Pritchard re
fuses to make public the names of the
brothers until an investigation by d. c.
Nowlan, the Wyoming state game com
missioner, determines whether they were
unlawfully shipped from that state.
The federal law governing the shipping
OF elk heads and known as the Lacy act
provides that a specimen head cannot be
shipped out of the state where the elk is
killed without a tag. This tag must be
affixed to the horns of the elk by jus
tice of the peace after the hunter has
made affidavit that he killed the animal
in conformity with the game laws of
the state. Under the law of Wyoming
only one elk is allowed to each hunter
One of the ways hunters have found to
eyade the law governing shipments Of
elk heads is to send one head with a
proper tag and having the tag mailed
back and using it for another head 1t
is unlawful for railroad company to
received an elk head for shipment I'M
less it is properly tagged The heads
which were seized yesterday evidently
had been so tagged. as the mark of the
tag wire shows, but the tags were miss
ing and TaXidermist COlburn states they
We're tagless when he received them.
The supposition is that the tags were
removed in transit.
Deputy Commissioner Pritchard states
that Mr.. Colburn IS entirely blameless
in receiving the heads; that they came
to him after correspondence with the
brothers, in which they agreed to send
him the heads in payment for mounted
puma skins. Colburn kept three Of the
heads and was sending back the other
three when they were seized
No warrant has been applied for in the
United States court, and It is a question
whether warrant will even be asked
for. Deputy Commissioner Pritchard
has written to Commissioner NOwIau in
Wyoming, telling him of the circum-
stances of finding the six heads without
tags and asking him to make an iuyeStI-
CATION at the other end. 1t will depend
upon the result of this investigation
whether any arrests are made.-Los

period, and that two of them died of the
disease seems to be conclusive evidence
that typhoid germs can be taken into
the system from polluted oysters. OF
late it has been claimed in the interest
of 1.-THE trade" that it is impossible to
contract typhoid from oysters; but the
better way of allaying popular nervous
ness that is inimical to business is to
see to it that the water over oyster beds
remains uncontaminated. The oyster
dealers have instituted improvements in
the shipment of oysters to western con-
sumers, and the oyster raisers should do
their share of the work of re-establish-
ing the oyster wherever it has lost favor.

which comes from the PostofIice Depart

are given, and that therefore matter re-
