WEST COAST BUSINESS
OF MEXICO GROWING
Miners and Farmers Succeed
Hostile Indians; Railroad
Brings Civilization.

Navojoa, Son. Mex, May 16.-R. H.
Ingram, general manager; J. G. Lind
say, superintendent, and other officials
of the Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany passed through NavojOa on their
way from Alamos, where they inspected
the new freight and passenger depot.
They considered the contemplated eX-
tension of the line from Alamos into
the rich mining region in western
chihuahua and eastern Sonora. This
extension would tap the great forests
IN this section.
Business along the west coast is in
creasing rapidly, as a great deal of
American capital is being Invested in
Sonora and Sinaloa, and old mines that
have been dormant for many years are
starting up again. In a few months
the stamp mills will again DE grinding
out the gold. Rude miners cabins in
the great forests where the sound OF
the ak had never penetrated, and for
centuries only the tread of moccasined
feet have broken the silence, are now
common; where only a few short years
ago savages fought bloody battles, to-
day the hardy prospector with his
burro wends his way through the cool
canyons in search of the golden sand.
In the beautiful valleys, only recently
the homes of hostile tribes, today wave
the green fields of grain, and far away
on the horizon rises the black clouds of
smoke from the great Southern Pacific
engines. The railroad is here and be-
fore it have vanished the old ways.

GROWING OF SILK
WORMS A FAILURE
Mulberry Leaves Fed to
Them at chihuahua
Kills Them.

Chihuahua, Mexico. May 16.-The ex-
pertinent made here by the state gov
eminent in trying TO raise silk worms
and to see what might be done in de-
veloping the silk industry, has proved
q failure the first effort. The cause Of
the failure was that the worms would
not eat the leaves OF the mulberry
trees grown in the city here and what
they did eat caused them TO sicken and
die.
The experiment was in charge of L..
D. Combe. of this city, who has had
much experience in this line in Italy He
states that the climatic and other con-
ditions here were ideal for his expert
ment; that the leaves of the mulberry
trees fed to the worms had every ap
pearance Of being all right and that he
carnot account for the failure OF the
worms to do well on them unless there
was some deteriOus substance in the
soil where the trees grow. The mulberry
grows we'll here.
