 Its annual production is made up of 5000 tons of sugar and 100000 litres of alcohol.
 In 1904, and in one of the trips he made to Mazatlan, there died at that port, where the best years of his life had been spent, MT. Joaquin Redo, leaving in the hands of his worthy sons the many and varied interests held in Sinaloa by that public-spirited, transformations philanthropist and genial business men.
 Once more, back in Mexico City, and about the year 1905, MT. Diego Redo organized a company with a capitalization of $1,000,000.00 for the exploitation of coal mines; he was also a member of the Forests Committee, representative of the

THE FIRST CITIZEN
Of the Imperial State of Slnaloa-
 Governor Diego Redo.

Mir. Diego Redo, present Cover nor of the State of Sinaloa, Mexico, was born in Mazatlan, on the 9th of December, 1870. By dint of tal- ent and indefatigable energy his father, Mir. Joaquin Redo, achieved prominent position in the com mercial and industrial lines of the West Coast of Mexico; he estab- lished at Mazatlan, two important mercantile concerns which are still extant; he advanced the textile in. dustry at Culiacan, giving life to a factory which to-day provides em' ployment for a large proportion of the working class population of that city; he also organized and operated a steamship line on the Pacific coast which rendered sea. sonable and valuable services to the trading interests of his time. Agriculture also claimed it's share of the gentleman's tireless energy and bright intelligence, and asso- ciated with his sons he installed on the outskirts of Culiacan, the fine sugar mill called "La Aurora" and later caused to spring up from the wild lands along the banks of the San Lorenzo river, as if at the touch of a magic wand, the superb and capacious sugar mill of "Eldo- rado," one of the most important of its kind, in that peerless sugar producing region.
 His magnifcence and unselfsh- ness, most worthy of emulation, and proverbial along the Western Pacific seaboard, became established tenets in the capital of the repub- lie, where he spent the last years of a most useful and exemplary life.
 The mother of the subject of this article, Mrs. Alejandra de la Vega de Redo, has ever been a central figure in the high social circles where she has moved, and a ten- der and unremitting benefactress to the orphan, sick and helpless.
 It was but natural that such worthy progenitors would make the attainments and accomplish ments of a most refined culture, their aim and object in the thor ough education imparted to the gifted subject of our sketch, ex- ercising particular care in install ling into his youthful soul, love for work and for all that is manly and honorable.
 He began his early education in the official primary schools at Mazatlan, Culiacan and Guaymas. When twelve years old he entered the High School in San Francisco, California, U. s. A, where he re- mained until the age of fifteen, when he travelled to England to complete his education there.
 Two years later he went to France, returning finally to Maza- tan. At the latter place and under the more or less direct and skillful guidance of his noble father, he finished the preparatory work so essential to the struggle for life, making himself familiar with many branches of knowledge in the fields Of industry and commerce, and mastering sundry. other acquire ments which combined would soon give him an actual wealth of expe- Iience. Thus it happened that we md him on his return from

WILLARD SMITH TALKS
ABOUT PloCHE METALS

That Superintendent Dave Lemon
of the Phoebe Metals company has
brought the rather complicated fault
system Of the property to a salts
factory solution, is the good word
brought to Salt Lake City yesterday
by w. F. Smith. one Of the employ
es of the company since operations
were first started, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Above the 200-foot level,
stated Mr.. Smith, the veins were
badly disarranged and it took some
deep thinking and some hard work
to unravel the difficulties presented
underground.
At the 100, ITO and 200 levels the
management found an ore body rang
ing from one to three feet in thick
ness, the ore being of good shipping
grade, carrying mainly lead and sill
yer. Had it not been for the destruc-
| tiCn of the railroad line the manage
inent would have done some STOPPING
for shipment puposes, but as it is
somewhere in the neighborhoOd OF
| fifty tons are now on the dump
awaiting the completion of the rail-
road construction work.
The mine Is now at an interesting
point, continued Mr.. Smith. for the
reason that the cross-cut on the 300
level is approaching the same ore
developed above. Everything pcirt.
to this ore not being far removed
f~3ni the present face, and the ore
is expected practically any round o.
g Its. At the 300 level and below
tha1 depth Mr. Lemon does not ex
pect to meet with any fau,tins
troubles, believing that he has hte
situation well in hand.
