American mining camp in Sonora kept
steadily at work through all the late

Laughlin company, which also secures
rom nearby mines the coal necessary
to heat its boilers and ore roasters-
Officials in Hermosillo sent word to
the camp about the time Of the Carrizal

stay quietly. rather than attempt TO
get out of the country. The advice
was taken and the mill was kept run
ming steadily, handling about 1000 tons
of rich ore q month There was no
trouble whatever from the 400 en-
ployes, who remained industrious and
ooutented, and there has been no re.
port of any visits from insurrectos OF
any sort. Indeed, the camp appears TO
have been a sort of political oasis.
