the ore is to be assayed appears on

ers have been receiving regulation
assay envelopes from miners and
prospectors with the words assay

name of the rectal written in.
These metals have been taking the
fourth-class rate of l cent an ounce
and it was not until recently that
1t was discovered that the law re-
garding fourth class matter did not
cover this case. Assayers have
been instructed that in the future
such mail will be considered first
class matter, sealed or unsealed, if
the name of the metal for which
the assay was to be made appeared

Agricultural Experimental Station
Yaqui Delta.

ONrAGorA, Rio Yaqui, Sonora,
Mexico, Aug. II, 1909.-The Rich
ardson Construction Company have
nearly completed their new agri-
cultural experimental station at
this point. They will plant this
fall many varieties of cereals, fruits
and other products. The work is
in charge of Mr.. |. F. Moilitt, a
well known agriculturist of Cali
fornia and it is expected that the
experiments with many products
not grown here at this time will
show the possibility of raising
much that is now imported from
other sections of Mexico and the
United States. The Station is in
tended primarily for the benefit of
the settlers who have bought from
the Richardson Construction Com
pany. Statistics will be kept and
it is hoped that the several U. s..
agricultural stations will cooperate
with this, the first work of its kind
started in Northern Mexico. The
soil is of peculiar richness and is
being constantly enriched by de-
posits of river silt. The few ex-
periments with Egyptian cotton
that have been made are very sue.
cessful and it may be possible to
to raise cotton in the Yaqui valley
in quantities which will Justify

variety grows luxuriantly and it is
expected that the "Burley" and
other varieties raised in Kentucky
can be grown successfully here.
The many settlers who have al
ready come into the valley princi-
pally from California, are looking
to Los Angeles for their supplies
and naturally Los Angeles may
expect to benefit by the raising OF
crops that must be distributed in
the United States. OF the $4,000
acres already sold much is being
cleared and placed under cultiva-
