SONORA PLACER .
MINES RUNNING
Small Operations Carried
On by Americans in the

cans. American consul BARLEY F. Yost
Of Guaymas. Mex. makes the follow
! ing statement regarding the mines:
1T appears that there is scarcely
any water IN the district, and che
miner would necessarily be dependent
upon dry washing processes. # the
many physical difficulties could be
overcome. it is believed that sausfac-
tory returns could be obtained How
ever. the transportation facilities are
very deficient and costly. The most
economic method would be by mule or
.burro. The use OF an automobile would
cost at least $50 per day. 1t would be
necessary to carry drinking water and
supplies for long distances on animals
II is estimated that $1,000 TO $500
would be necessary as q stake TO be-
gin operations. The miner would need
a gasoline engine and a dry washer.
Owing to the increased wage scale,
dry washing results much more eN-
pensively than formerly. This region
is relatively safe from YaQuis-
Companies Face Difficulties.
''The mining districts to the east
Of Hermosillo and Gusymas are at

1T IS the judgment OF experienced /
mining men that nowhere in this state /
could placer mining be carried on sat /
isfactorily or prOfitably by foreigners I
at the present time The only place I
where such mining is done is in the 4
Altar district. and they only by MeNi- I

The colored vote in the South is
liable to prove Il drawback to the
ratification of the suffrage amend

vote there will throw many unedu-
Gated and politically ignorant ballots

proportion Of uneducated women is

nuencc, not of the best, and reached
first they might accomplish great
harm. Arguments Of the women's
party notwithstanding, it will prove
easier to herd the womens vote at the
poles than it has been the male ballot
The man has to rub shoulders with
many other men in the course of his
work and the woman does not meet a
sufficient number TO educate her in the
pros and cons of a political argument
therefore she will be the more easily
Influenced by one person who might
make an attempt to reach her and
possibly lead her wrong on an cleo

If the connecticut suffrage party

Der Of women and teaching the prin-
ciples of good government and the
value of full political knowledge of

plshed an untold benefit to the state.
This is promised and the money is

But it is no easy job that the work.

of the woman who is to be enfranCh-
Used and does not even realize it,

it is to find her and she will have

THE WIRE STRIKE.

A tie-up Of all telegraph wires is
promised by union leaders beginning
next Wednesday, when telegraphers
will protest against the handling Of
members Of the union by companies,
particularly the Western Union. 1t is
said that the right to organize has
been denied the Workmen and oper-
lators, and on the surface, it is for this
reason that they are TO quit work this
week
Meanwhile, forecasts of the effec-
tiveness of the promised strike and an
effort at playing politics are occupy
ing public attention. Company Off
Gals say that q very small number Of
operators will 80 out. The union
Probably both are overstating their
case. If the union is right and does
succeed in putting the country's tele-
graphic communication system out Of
operation, we may he assured that d
quick settlement Will be reached, as
the telegraph key is symbolic of our
greatest necessity. Time will tell
whether there is strength enough i'll
the union to accomplish this.
The political tempest that the &C
ton Of the workers has stirred up
might not have been expected when
the call for the strike was issued.
However, there is evident a great deal
Of effort to capitalize the event by
politicians everywhere, even in the
union. The return, or partial return,
Of the wires to private ownership took
place simultaneously with the issue OF
the strike order Of course, n poll
tlCian could be expected to raise the
cry, "Burleson did it, He shifted the
responsibility onto the company. He
passed the buck.' This is undoubt-
cdly true. RurlesOn passed the buck.
He knew that there was a strike COM
ing and got rid of the actual opera
ton Of the wires, leaving the COM
pany to worry about tho effectiveness
Of the strike. Now arises the cry to
the effect that tho government, under
the terms through which it took con-
troll of the wires will have to make
up for the loss in business to the
Western Union, even though the conf
| pany closes up entirely. Singularly
| enough, these political cries were both
| made by union leaders, who had
| strength enough to force the strike
| The reasons behind the wal1out may
| be instances of improper treatment of
! employees. If so, it is Justified If the
| reasons are POLITICAL the whole affair
is most unworthy, even though Burle-
| son is guilty Of the fun slate of in

EDUCATING THE WOMAN VOTER.

The Conn ecticut branch of the
Voman's Suffrage party has under
way scheme for raising funds to be
applied to the education of the great
mass of female voters which is soon
be enfranchised. The value and
possibilities of their new prerogative
Is to be driven home to the women
II the leaders of the party can ac-
complish their ideas. The move
ment is to be allied with no political
party nor are the educators going
to try and teach the precepts Of any
particular organiza ton, we are told
The main objection to the granting
of suffrage has been, and may still
continue to he, the letting down of
the bars to a large uneducuted vote
The Suffra gist meets this objection
by asking, do you not consider your
wife, or your mother, capable of
voting?" There has been no answer
to that. The male is fully aware that
many women are as capable of Vot-
ing as he is. But there are more
women incapable of tintelligently ap-
plying the force of the ballot than
there are men, The mans work is
among men where. even though he
be totally uneducated, he must alb
sorb some of the essentials of BUSH
ness and governm emit. The woman s
work has not been in this field, as
a rule and the application of results
In the business world to effects in the
political may not be readily traced
By her. This does not hold to some
