To Build Lengthy Tramway.

Henry Hamburg. president of the Hartford Arizona mine at Ham burg, was in the city on business yesterday. This property was formerly known as the Princeton.
 MT. Hamburg states that an aerial tramway will be installed at once to carry the high grade ores through the box canyon st Berners. This tramwsy will be two niiles in length and upon its completion shipping of ore will begin at once. MT. Hamburg has also just completed the installation of an up to date 125 horse power boiler. Things are most encouraging at this property and it will, nc doubt. be good news to the many stockholders of the company who reside in Tombstone.
 President Hamburg is to be congra- tulated on the showing he is now making. Mir. Hanburg's faith in the Huachucas has never waivered and after 25 years of hard, conscientious work he is about to realize tue dreams of bis fondest hopes. The success of Henry Hamburg will, no doubt. be the resumption of the extensive properties of the Butte and Arizona which lies just beyond or rather adjoins the Hartford Arizona Pros pector.

Tungsten Concentrates $500 Per Ton

Three tons of concentrates arrived Saturday last from the new mill of the tungsten company operating near Osceola in the eastern portion of the county. The concentrates carry an average of 65 per cent tungstic acid. and are worth better than $500 per ton. The concentrates will be stored until carload is ready for shipment when they will be sent to New York. It is expected that full carload of the concentrates will be worth at least $25.00O. The new mili is running one shift per day and turning out one and half tons of concentrates. or $75O per day. It is expected that the mill will be run on full time during the summer and fall monthe, when the company will become a heavy pro- ducer, as well as an earrer of good dividends.-Ely Record.

 How many of our readers known any thing about the state-of. .Sonora-its wealth, size and other features2 That Soaora is one of the richest states of Mexico. with mining in the lead, ia possibly known by many. But there are other resources that are not generally known. Sonora contains 6 900 mining properties which contain l30 900 pertenencias. gold and silver leading. Of the different metals or n ntrals. $50 properties denounced for gold, 1900 for gold and silver; 725 for silvef; 1900 for gold. silver and cop per; 225 for gold, silver and lead; 100 gold and copper; 300 for silver and copper, $50 for silver and lead; 450 for copper; one for antimoDy; one for telurium. etc.
 During the fiscal year endingssss ssJ une. 1910. l124 properties were denounced comprising almost 24. 900 pertenencias. The greates. number of Announcements during this time were made in the Moctezuma district, 267 denonpce- ments being made. containing 2.259 hectares.
 The total value of mineral mined during the year 1909 10 was some- thing like 5000 900 pesos.
 The agricultural possibilities of So-
  present methods employed the pro- duction of different crops is great. During the year 1909 10 the value of produce raised was something like 1O.- 100000 pesos, of which the Arizpe district was second with a production of nearly 2,500. 900 pesos worth of produce
 The Arizpe district. in which Osna-' nea is located, in the production on cane furnished over l5o. 900 kilos.
 Tn the production of tobacco, the Arizpe district led all the other dis tricts, in fact producing twenty times that of all other districts combined, as the total crop was 12O. 900 kiIos. wbile the total of the state was but 126. 900.
 In the production of lumber and wood Sonora produced almost 4.o0O.- 900 pesos worth. the Arizpe district leading with 415. PA pesos.
 In the cattle industry the Arizpe district leads the rest of the state. there being l2O.O0O head on the various ranges. valued at over l,200.- 900 pesos. Also leads in horses, with 29,000 head; mules, l2 900 head; asses. l5. zoo head; hogs. 6.a00 head; and leads the entire state with a total of 176, 900 head of livestock.
 In manufacturing, Hermosillo leads 1n shoes. cigaretts, candies, chocolate. crackers, flour. bricks, furniture. cloth. ing. In Hermosillo alone there are annually over 225 900 pieces of cloth ing manufactured, in ten factories using 575 sewing machines.
 The Arizpe district is undoubtedly the richest in the state and this due mostly to the mining and cattle rais- ing industries
 Sonora has 0 great future and with it's reputation of being a rich state, one can look for great achievements iu the future. The mining industry and the farming possibilities of the state will prove to be the channels through which this will be attained.- Sonora News.

WEATHER AND CROPS
An UnfavOrable Week-August De-
teriOratiOn-TeXaS Situation I'M
prOved-Rice and Sugar Promising

New Orleans Picayune August 2t
The past week has been period of
unfavOrable weather for the cotton
crop, the usual August deterioration
having occurred. In the western belt
high temperatures and lack of suffi-
cient moisture have added to the de-
terioration in crop conditions, which
was noted last week, although some
rains in various parts of Texas dur
ing the last few days have in a
measure improved the situation.
While Texas has experienced in
sufficient moisture, the central belt
has had entirely too much rain, and
as a consequence the crop in that
section has suffered delay and dete-
rioration from conditions just the
opposite of those existing in the
weste>>n belt. AS a general result of
unfavorable conditions the crop has
suffered a distinct setback, although
the deterioration has not been great
er than might reasonably have been
looked for during the month of Au-
gust, which is always a period of
deterioration. With anything like
favorable conditions from now on,
there is no reason why the crop
should not prove a record one, not
withstanding the setbacks it has re-
Gently suffered.
1t is a noteworthy fact that al
though there has been some COM
plant of shedding and insect pests,
the ravages by the boil weevil have
been much less in evidence than in
years. Owing to the large
increase in acreage even a moderate
deterioration during August does
not warrant any pessimistic views as
TO the ultimate size of the yield.
The rice crop continues to prom
ise we'll, although daily rains have
interfered with the harvest along
the river and has delayed maturity
i'll the western section of the rice
district.
The sugar cane crop continues to
make steady progress.
