The EIks State Reunion.

From all reports received here
 regarding the Elk's State Re-
 union at Tucson on March 21st more fund and frolic crowded into the two days and nights than one usually sees in that many months.
 Speaking of the amusements provided. Chairman Hees of the Publicity Committee, says:
 Anyone who wants to enjoy all the amuSementS provided should not fail to arrive in time for the first days celebration, as there will not be a dull moment during the two days and nights. In the evening of the first day will be a confetti battle and serpentine dance on Congress street. This Serpentine dance is not the Turkey Trot" or Texas Tom my" under an assumed name but a new and decidedly novel feature provided by the Elks that both old and young may enjoy. Immediately after the ''batt4e'' and dance" there will be show given at the Opera House which will be free for all visiting Elks and their ladies and friends. This is the 'Globe Trotters" by MT. B. J. Whistler t a member of the Tucson Lodge No. 385, and who has made his reputation as clever writer of musical comedy and the caste is one of the Elk'S usually bright and breezy companies who have made such decided success in previous Elk performances. Any one making the journey to Tucson should not fail to take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy one of MT. Whistler's pro- auctions.
 "A special railroad rate of one and one third fare for the round trip has been made on all ra1l roads,"

 Conard, the Sonora land man,
 who is also president and gen
 eral manager of the Sonora Cop l per Smelling Company, the pro t-perties of which are situated ! near NOria, Sonora, Mexico. left
 for the Altar district, Sonora,
 where he owns large land hold
 ings. He was accompanied by H. Gordon Glore, surveyor of
 Santa Cruz county. Tine trip will

 l. Bracey Curtis, president of the
 First National Bank of Nogales,
 who recently visited the Yaoui river country, in Sonora, Mex icO, where he is interested in valuable agricultural lands, re- ports everything very quiet and peaceabl in that section, where he spent a week going over the property owned by the Yaoui River Land 6 Irrigation Com pany. He saw hundres of Yaqui Indians while on the River. They were well armed and rode good horses. They appeared happy and contented and showed his party every courtesy Mr., Curtis said he and his friends at no time felt uneasy, and greatly enjoyed their visit on the great YaQui delta.
 Frank Hartman, of the Float Gold Amalgamating Co.,. is now wondering where he is at. After he is about ready to start up his new mill and cyanide plant at his company's property north east of the city about a dozen miles, he is threatened with the law by farmers and stockmen who object to the cyanide poison ed water which they claim will kill their stock. Frank says life is sure a funny proposition, after all, and he would like some one of his numerous friends, to put him wise. He has a good mine, and is sure he can make all sorts of money, pro- vided he does not have to buy out all the big stockmen in the country in order to operate his cyanide plant.
 Mir. White of Los Angeles, was stopover visi- tor in the city the forepart of the week, on his way home from Noria, Sonora, Mexico, where he purchased a large tract of agricultural land from A. M, Conard of this city. Mr. White is a southerner who went to California many years ago. He owns many acres of land in California worth~S5O0 per acre; he says his Sonora land is every bit as good. Being a pioneer, he realizes that now is the time to purchase land in Mexico, for after the war is over," land will be worth a great deal more than whatit is selling for at the present. Mr Hilliker of Los Angeles, accompanied MT White to Mexico, and it was through him the gentleman be- ,ame interested at Noria, where tt the present many improve nents are being made by colonist who recently settled there.
