Ithe state of Sonora. as it is her,
 where many bloody scenes have beer lenacted. The Yaquis have ariseI many times. objecting to new orders
 from the government. The Indians ] simply prove the value Of everlasting ly keeping possession of the fertile
 valleys They are of good morals. The iMexicans coveted the lands. lt was
 a repetition of the cld .story. The In ldians were forced lack and they re belled. They are 8 brave people and
 loved their homes. They fought. and
 many a Mexican paid dearly for his lust of land Superior force of arms has gradually lessened the number of
 Indians in Sonora. The law forbids
 them owning arms or ammunition. The government has been more active and has deported many insurgents to Yucatan.
 | The Yaqui chiefs. realizing the nn- equal strife have finally agreed to a treaty of peace. An understanding lconcerning certain territory has been reached. and the Yaqui will no longer terrorize the Mexicans IL was not un-
 
 molested and the enmity of the In dians were aroused by few foolish American boys who joined with the Mexicans in a fight against them. Their hatred for the Mexicans was. very bitter.
 We have seen the Yaquis in their fields and in the mirfes of Mexico ana Arizona. They are the best labor in that region. We mean as compared with the Mexican.
 The state of Sonora will take on new life due to the settlement of the Indian trouble. It is a wonderful min eral region. with many good mines al ready developed and many more to be added.

 San Antonio Copper company's op- erations are almost in the heart of the scene of the Yaqui uprising. the Ures district being the location where many battles were fought. Here there is plenty of pure water. considerable | timber. and the natural mineral re- sources are great. Being the home of the Indians the Mexieans did not wish 1 to risk their lives in trying to devel- i op mines. and few Americans were | anxious to invest. Mir. !. K. Wood of | the Antonio company had m tears He spent three years in the midst of the Yaquis when they were at war with | Mexicans and Americans and was | never molested by them He carried | no weapons on his frequent long trips l between San Antonio and Guaymas, | and for so miles he had 10 ride and I walk.

 The railroad through the Ures dis trict will now go On with greater vigor than before as the Mexican worl1men will not have to be protect ed. There will be many mining sec tions given attention and some val uable properties should be the result. It is a great storehouse of minerals of all kinds and its development should be rapid when the railroad is |,
