Black Bass in the Colorado.

Votaries of the rod and reel will perhaps be surprised to learn that the Colorado river has become an adopted home for highly prized species of the game fish known as the "big mouth" black bass, usually found only in the dearest of streams. Some seven or eight years ago Capt. Issac Polhamus re- ceived a consignment of black bass from the government hatcheries and following instructions of the fish commissioner, planted" the scaly beauties in the Colorado river, at Needles Only recently has it be- come known that any of them sur- vived to perpetuate their species. Within the past few weeks Yuma parties visiting the Laguna dam report having seen a considerable number of black bass in the clear, settled water above the dam, though so far, we believe, none has been caught. A young Isaak Wall ton we used to know once said: There's only one thing that ever thrilled me more than trying to snare and land a black bass after he got to fooling with the bit on my hook; and that was the first kiss l ever had square on the mouth from the girl love.-Yuma Sentinel.

SlNALoA STATEMENTS.

The 40-stamp mill of the Buffers Copala Syndicate in the Concordia district, in Sinaloa, inaugurated several months ago, is now hand ling about 250 tons daily. The tonnage will be steadily increased until the full capacity of 400 tons a day is reached. Accidents to mill machinery have retarded operations to considerable ex- tent. The cyanide plant is one of the most complete in Mexico.
 The Panuco Mining Company, Mazatlan, Sinaloa, concern that has been operating in the Concor- dia district since 1877, is now dis tributing dividends at the rate of 50,000 pesos month. The divi- dends paid stockholders during the last quarter of a century total fully 10,000,000 pesos.

ARIZONA ORES.
q Permanent Display In the Los Ange'
 les Chamber of Mines.

The Territorial Fair Commis- sioners and Col. Epcs Randolph, in charge of the mineral exhibit, have been notified that the Los Angeles Chamber of Mines will gladly provide space for the min eral exhibit which has gathered for display at the Territorial Fair. The Los Angeles Chamber of Mines is a Give" institution, whose best efforts are devoted to the interests of the entire mining community of the Southwest, and their desire to secure and provide space for this exhibit is to be commended. Arizona should advertise it's min eral and geologic products of com mercial importance in every way possible, and this exhibit, if placed on display in Los Angeles in an institution like the Chamber of Mines, will doubtless attract the attention of a great many people and stimulate public interest in mining matters in the Territory.
 A representative collection of Nevada minerals, carefully selected from the specimens on exhibit at Gold6eld during the last session of the American Mining Congress, is now ready for transportation to inc Chamber of Mines from Gold field, and will probably be placed on exhibition there at an early date. It is, therefore, of para mount importance to the Territory that it's mineral districts be equally we'll represented and we believe that the offer of the Chamber ot of Mines should have the hearty support of the Fair Commissioner

New Bank at Cuadalajara.

A branch of the Mercantile Banking Company, Ltd, of the City of Mexico will be opened in Guadalajara within the next sixty days, according to latest advices from officials of that institution. During the last days of August A.. H. Mckay, president, and George J. Mccarthy, vice president, of the Mercantile were in this city and while here arranged to take the first floor rooms in the Cortes building at the northwest corner of Lopez Cotilla and San. Fran cisco streets for a term of years. The lease was secured from the Sonora News Company, which had spent several thousand pesos in reconstruction of the building, and had set apart the corner room for sub leasing.
 The entrance of the Mercantile interests into the financial circles of Guadalajara is a move of more than usual importance to this region of the Republic. As is well known, the Mercantile is the depositary for Southern Pacific money in Mexico, and besides that, is conducted by a group of very wealthy Americans who are alive to the possibilities of money making in Mexico. MT. Mckay has a number of private invest. ments around the country which are turning out well and his judg- ment is accepted by big line oI investors. The establishment oi the Mercantile bank here mean: that it's owners have strong faith in the future of Western Mexico and will influence the investment of thousands of dollars in this section.
 The officers of the Mercantile Banking Company in Mexico City are: A. H. Mckay, president; Geo J. Mccarthy, vice president; K. M VanZandt, manager; H. c. Head cashier. The manager of tn, Guadalajara branch has not beer named yet, but may be MT. Nc Carthy.-Guadalajara Times.

The Alleged Murderer of Luis proto.

Among those implicated and under arrest charged with con- plicity in the murder of Luis Proto, last March, is very prominent young man named Espinosa, who is a resident of Hermosillo. It is stated that five others are under arrest 1pon the same charge. All those arrested were interested in lands in the Cocospera, and there had been difficulty between them and Mir. Proto over fences and irrigation water. The story goes that they hired man to waylay MT. Proto on the road to Cocospera and kill him, using another man as a go-between, who made the arr rangements with the assassin and paid the money, the agreed sum being three thousand pesos.
 The story told goes yet farther, and is stated that after the assassin had done his work the conspirators then put out of the way the go- between, whose food was poisoned by one of them. It is related far ther in this connection that the assassin, who claimed that he had not received the full amount of the price of blood, either through the dishonesty of the go.between or the neglect of those who paid the money, divulged the plot and gave the names of all the conspirators- having been told who they were by the go.between. This is mere street talk in Hermosillo, is not well authenticated, and is given here as such.
