of production going back a
couple of hundred years. There
is no reason why the Progreso
should not rival the record of
the Lampasos.
The town of Batuc, at the
base of the mountain in which is
located the Progreso mine is a
quaint old place, of real interest
to the antiquarian. The most
remarkable feature of the place
is the old church, built by the
Spaniards, about the middle of
the seventeenth century. At the
time of several visits of "The
Oasis" editor in 1902-3-4, he
could learn nothing authentic
about the old church or the prob
able time of it's erection; but
from the style of architecture,
it's resemblance to other similar
structures elsewhere in Sonora
notably that at Baucari, near the
Cedros river, with the authenti-
city given by the bells in the
church towar, east in 1646-7-9-
this editor is disposed to set the
date of the Batuc church some
where about the middle of the
seventeenth century; a few years
later, perhaps, than that at
Baucari.
To return to the Progreso
mine: The operating staff of El
Progreso Silver Company is as
follows:
A. Macfarlane, Vice President
and General Manager.
E. E. Noon, Mine Superin-
tendent.
Jackson Elliott, Mill Superin-
tendent.
John Logan, Assayer.

gales-a saving in time and dis
tance.
To transport the machinery
out to Progreso. the company
built in part a link of the road
between La Colorado and Batuc ;
and, now, in putting in this new
link in another road they have
completed a good, truck route
from Nacosari, around to La
Colorado; or branching at Chi
piona, direct to Hermosillo in
a distance but little greater.
The Progreso Company have
just placed in operation the con-
centrating tables of their new
mill, and the management eX-
poets to complete the. cyanide
department early in October of
this year, when shipment of
bullion will begin.
The Progreso was a high
grade shipping proposition, and
in 1900 and thereabout it pro-
duced over one million dollars in
silver bearing oras, in develop
ment and mining which there
were left available for milling
large bodies of ore of a lower
grade, which will pay to handle
by concentration, with shipment
of concentrates; but with install
lation of the cyanide plant and
production of bullion, there will
be a great saving over shipment
of concentrates, while the pro-
duct will carry a much higher
valuation.

operating Gel ProgTeso," a noted
silver mine, in the lofty noun
tain overlooking on the east
the town of Batuc, on the Mon
tezuuma river, about eight miles
above it's confluence with the
YaQui river, has just complated
Carrizal, via Ell Salto, to join the
mine northward up the Arroyo
Carrizal, via Ell Salte, to join the
Moztezuma-LampaZos road, just
east of Tepachi, on the Tepachi
river. This new construction Of
about thirty five miles at a cost
of about $4,000, gives the Pro-
greso Company rail connection
at Nacosari, a distance of ITO
miles, the route passing through
the towns of Moctezuma and
Cumpas.
While the new route thus
opened is about twenty miles
longer than the route followed
heretofore-from La Colorado,
it has one advantages in
gradients crossing the Coast

ward; and another in that it
avoids the Yaqui country, which
had to be crossed by the COM

dangerous route; Trucks con-
veying concentrates out from
Progreso, and supplies into the
camp, can make the run to Ma

THE KANSAS CITY,

RAILWAY TO FILL
UP CAPS IN Line
When Completed Will Give A
New TranscOntinental Rail-
way From The Missouri River
To The Gulf OF California.

Construction is being resumed
on the division of the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient Railway,
between Falomir, in the state of
Chihuahua, and the proposed
crossing of the Rio Grande, three
mile below Preside, Texas.
Work was suspended in 1912.
1t is stat)d that recently when
Juan Travino, representative of
the K. c., M. & o. Ry., brought
to the attention of the Mexican
government tha matter of build
ing the line from Falomir to the
Mexican border, he was assured
that General Dieguaz, federal
military commander in that
state would give the construc-
ton force ample military pro-
lection. The distance to con-
struct to complete that link is
seventy-five miles.
1t is reported also that the
same company will begin at an
early date construction of it's
line from Alpine, Texas, to meet
the line from Falomir. 1t is an
nounced that filling these gaps
will give an all rail route be-
tween Kansas City and Western
Mexico. via Chihuahua.
But there are other gaps to
be completed before the K. c.,
M. & o. will have its own
through line all the way from
Kansas City to Topolobampo, on
the Gulf of California, at the
mouth of the Fuerte river. The
line from Topolobampo to Fuer-
te. a distance of about 100 miles
is now in operation. There re-
mains to construct that line
from Fuerte across the Sierra
Madre to Bacoyna, about eighty
miles southwest of Chihuahua
That connection will be with the
line now to begin building be-

The Zone System.

The zone system of postal rates has
become the storm centre OF a nation
wide lobby" that is being prosecuted
by the big publishers mainly at and
from Washington, and by the smaller
publishers mainly through their pub
lications and sympathizers.
The publishers Of magazines and
other periodicals of national circula-
ton are fighting for the repeal of the
zone rate system and the smaller pub
locations of local circulation are gener-
ally supposed to favor the continued
operation of the law as it stands, eX-
cept that they would prefer that the
zone rates be established on a still
higher basis.
Years ago the government adopted
the policy of carrying all kinds of peri
odical publications through the mails
at a nominal rate of postage-free OF
charge for newspapers in the counties
in which they are published, except In
the case of free city and free rural de-
liveries, and at one cent a pound 1or
all such mail matter to any part OF the
country, far or near, outside of the
county of publication.
BY taking advantage Of this nominal
postal rate Of one cent pound many
publications have built up circulations
aggregating millions Of copies per is
sue, and because Of these tremendous
circulations they are able to carry un-
limited advertising to all parts Of the
country and obtain for it almost fabu-
lous prices.
By reason Of this advertising local
dealers in general stocks are brought
in direct competition with specialists,
each handling one or two articles; but
who among them all handle almost ev-
erything the local dealer handles. and
who by their attractive and enticing
appeals are able to get much OF the
trade that would otherwise go to the
local dealer. Also because the extent
Of the fields covered by these papers OF
national circulation large retail dealers
are able to get practically all the pup
licity they can take care Of without 60
ing into the local publications.
The sponsors for the zone rate sys-
tenn of postage defend their efforts on
the ground that the big publications
are being carried at great expense TO
tbe Government. with the principal
benefit going to the millionaire pup
fishers, and the thing should be read
iusted on a generally more equitable
basis.
The big publishers are putting forth
tremendous efforts to restore the old
postage rate; but as rule. the smaller
publishers are not taking a great deal
Of active interest.

NO MORE LIQUOR PERMITS

The last liquor permit issued 10 any
citizen of the county of York emitting
the holder to order a quart OF whisky
for medical use has been written, and
the county probate judge has thrown
his book of blank permits into the dis
card, having no further use for II. Inc
county went dry on July l, along Wltl'
the rest of the country and the pro-
bate Judge wound up officially the IL
uuor end of his business.
1t is interesting to note that sdurlpe
the time the quart q month law Was
effective in South Carolina, a perioo
of little over two years, a total OF DOL
liouor permits were issued to YORK
county people, perhaps the smalles'
number issued in any county as large
as York. There never was a time as
long as the law was efrectlVe, When
these permits were issued promiscu'
ously as was the case in some OF the
counties of the state. The person Wno
applied here had to make a pretty
good showing that the STUFF was reail!
needed for medical purposes, else
there was nothing doing.
OF course in that SSH quarts Oh H.
ouor shipped into the county there
we're a few quarts used for other than
medical purposes; but not greal
many. Most of the liquor ordered IN
the county was ordered by people OF
Rock Hill and vicinity, comparatively
few people in the western section oi
the county making application for per-
mits. l.,
In York county Mr.. ]. B. Corn is
now officially dead. His ghost still
stalks in some sections Of the county
and perhaps will for some time to
come. But the ghost is but a shadow
of his former self and since YORK
county is rather unhealthy for ghosts
his complete disappearance is strong
probability.
