ing trip through the Yaqui Indian country in
Sonora, Mexico, and are at the Alexandria
The two with other associates, are owners
Of the Las Barrancas mines in Sonora Sew
eral of these properties are very valuable, and
one in particular contains fortune already
in sight Samples of almost incomprehensible
richness were brought back by the two mining
men from their properties.
The YaquiS have now surrendered to the
Mexican authorities" said Mr.. O'Hanlon yes
terday, but many of them were still in a
state of rebellion when we left and our trip
over the mountains was accompanied by con-
siderable risk We were accompanied by an
armed guard which Gen. Torres, governor of
Sonora, provided.
THE chief of the Yaquis is now devoting
himself to bringing the unruly portion of his
people into obedience in accordance with the
terms Of the recent treaty with the Mexican
government"
Baron Pohl has a number Of interesting
photographs of the Yaquis and their chief,
taken his recent exciting trip.
After coming out Of the Yaqui territory the
two mining men were the guests of Governor
Torres, who took occasion to return the cour-
Il sizes shown him when a guest of the baron
and of Mr.. O'Hanlon in London.
The principal property owned by the count
and his associate is a silver and gold mine.
This property cost originally over $3.50, 600, and

have over a million dollars worth of ore

WEDNESDAY, MORNING, JANUARY 49, 1909
GROCER FINED FOR
SELLING BUTTER ON
SHORT WEIGHT BASIS
Manager for Anderson G. ChansIor
Company Found Guilty of Dis
posing of Fifteen Ounce
Packages

C. H. Plummer, manager for the An
derson & Chanslor company, grocers,
was fined $40 by Police Justice Rose
yesterday afternoon for selling pack
ages of butter that lacked an ounce of
being pound.
Samuel w. Green, city sealer of
weights and measures, testified that he
had purchased two one-pound packages
of butter from the store and weighed
them on official scales. Both packages
he declared, weighed one ounce less
than the required weight.
His testimony was corroborated by
DR.. James S. Owens.
The defense attempted to introduce
testimony to show that it was a Gus
tom in this city to sell packages of but
ter weighing fifteen ounces for a pound.
Plummer testified that the butter
was bought of a Porterville firm and
the shortage in weight occurred when
the original packages were prepared.
He declared that it was impossible to
get sixteen-ounce packages of butter in
the city.
Plummer stated he, as a member of
the grocery firm, was responsible for
the ordinance requiring sixteen ounces
to the pound. Justice Rose ruled that
the law requires packages stamped six
teen ounces to contain that amount
and any dealer selling shortweight but
ter is responsible.

WILTSEE SUED FOR
SHARE IN A MINE
Prominent Operators in Litiga-
ton Over Valuable Mex
lean Property

Suits among prominent mining men
involving a third interest in the Orr
mine in the district OF Ixtiahuaca, Mex.
were begun in the San Francisco SUI
perfor court yesterday by c. d. Lane
and +. w. Bradley against z. A. Wilt
see and his wife. The mine. which
forms part of what was originally the
Sonora No. l. is worth about $500, 600.

airy. 1900, from Augusta Sahlberg, S20.-
goo was paid for II, the money being
put up by c. D. Lane. E. A. Wiltsee.

Hammond
1t is, claimed that wiltsee held a
third share of the property in trust
Tor Lane, but that he refuses to recog-
nize Lanes interest. Lane having
transferred half his share TO F. w.
Bradley, Lane and Bradley claim to
own sixth of the mine each. They
recently negotiated the sale OF their in
terests for $4,000 in each case As
Wiltsee refuses TO convey TO them the
share they claim he holds in trust, a
decree of court is asked forcing him TO
do so. 1t is also asked that WiItsee be
directed to register and protocolizeY
the conveyance in conformity with the
laws of Mexico
For some time there have been ne
gotiations on foot looking to a settle
ment OF this dispute, and the fling Of
the complaints indicate that there will
be keen struggle ror the possession
of the third interest in the mine which
wiitsee is alleged to hold in trust. The
parties TO the action are prominent in
the mining world. Wiltsee makes his
home in Paris, but is at present in San
Francisco.

RAPIDLY BUILDING UP
Section Increasing in Popularity
With Home Seekers

The so called "dulI summer season"
has no apparent effect on Sunnyside
activity and buying and building con-
tinue at lively rate. for the big home
district is growing more popular every
day.
Construction work on large number
OF artistic homes is well under way,
and many more will be commenced in
the early fall and the coming season
will undoubtedly be a lively one.
Last week was a remarkably busy
one in the Sunnyside office, consider
ing the season, and week before last
would have been good week in any
season. Altooether the average is a
most gratifying one.
IN view of the continued activity in
sales of the property at Sunnyside dur
ing the last few weeks there is no
reason why the ensuing few weeks
should lag behind. 1t is only matter
Of weeks when the major portion OF
the property at SunnYside will be dis
posed of, if the present activity in
sales may be taken as a criterion.
