Wood, the fact that a number c?
dry boles have been reported can
not condemn even the immedjjite
region around them, because very
few of the welis are deep enough
to be thorough' teats. Besides, owing
to tJie variability In thickness and
porosity of the sand in developed
territory dry holes are common
alongside producers, and even near
gushers. Therefore the prospects
for the development of a number
of pools In this area seem to b -
good.

RAILWAY OWNERSHIP.
The Independent: In the United
States there is not one single rail
road owned by the public; every
mile Is owned and run by a com-
pany. Yet we should aot thereto:''<•
imagine that this is an ideal way.
for it may be that in this, as In
some other things, our country is
slow. In Europe there are, accord-
ing to statistics given by the intelll-
fence department of the Prussian
State Hallways, 107,603 miles of
state-owned railways and 99,632
miles owned by companies. Those
in Great Britain 23,387, are all pri-
vately owned, as aro 25,159 in
France, against 5,509 owned by the
French government; but with in fifty
years the great railways in France
will all belong to the state as the
concessions expire. Nearly all the
railways in Germany, Austria, Rus-
sia, Italy, Denmark and Norway are
public property. Equally in Japan
and British India the government
owns most of the railways, as is
the case Jn nearly all Africa, in New
Zealand iftul Australia. Only in the
continents of Northed South Amer-
ica, with their enormous mileage,
does company ownership prevail, to
the amount of 314,693 miles, as
against only 12,190 miles, most in
llra/.Il and Argentina. The total
state-owned mileage for the world
ih< 1S6.068, against 453,553 miles
owned b.. companies. These figures
may give t v: i • . thought, for tho
world's tendency is lo put these
monopolies into the fall pt>sKe.;sion

There have been presidents in the

presidents in name only. They oc*

there were certain powers behind the
throne which ruled.
President Wilson will make mis-

if he conducts himself after his in-

has so far shown Ihe nation has no-
thing to fear
He was exceedingly wise when

AMERICANS INVADE
YAQUI MAN LAND
IIVE AI rWLSTS FACE DEATH AT
H win OF RKBKIAIOUS
MADERO FOE ft.
Hormosillo, Mexico, Dec. 26.—H. P.
MqOec of Hermosillo and four other
Americans are just back from a dar-
ing motor car trip into the heart of
ihe hostile Yaciui Indian country.
These Indians have been 011 the war-
path for several months and have
retaken possession o!. most ot their
old tribal territory. Mcdee's com-
panions on the trip were Capt. John
C. Greenway, Ira B. Jerroliemon, R
O. Boat wick and R. H. Whitesides,
ull of Douglas, Ariz. They found the
homes, farms and randies of many
Mexicans and Americans in a state
of devastation and it was only by
chance that they did not encounter
raiding bands of the Indians on their
trip. They went as far east at the
Yaqui River, ninety miles.
So strong has this Yaqul military
movement become that the govern-
ment is making little pretense to
stop it, it is said, largely to the fact
that the services of the federal
troops are required in other parts
of the country. There are section?
of the Yaqul region that have never
been penetrated by any one except
members of that tribe, and for this
reason the real strength of the In-
dians has never been known. A1
though there were several thousand
killed and several thousand other
men, women and children deported
and exiled to the hot lands of Yuca
tan during the administration of
President Diaz, the tribe is still
strong in uumbers, it is said Esti
mates of the number of fighting men
which it can muster rang. from 5000
to 15,000.
Became Widely Scattered.
On account of the terrible scourge,
which was visited upon them by the
Diaz government, the members of the
tribe became widely scattered, many
going to Arizona and New Mexico
and into isolated parts of Chihuahua
and Sinaloa. Since the reawakeu-
ing of the power of the tribe, how
ever, many of these scatered mem
tiers have returned Lo their mother
territory.
One of the most mysterious and
unknown haunts of the Yaquis is
situated upon what is believed to b
a vast plateau in the heart of th
Bacatete Mountains in Sonora There
ihe headquarters of the tribi
maintained. The foot of no person
other than a Yaqui, has ever touch
od this rendezvous. It is only reach,
ed by narrow and precipitous traili
vjiich are kept constantly guarded
against possible invasion. Many
torts 011 the part of federal troops
have been made to penetrate *h<
mysterious region but proved futile
Words dropped here and there by
Yaquis have given rise to the belie!
that they have unlimited and inex
haustible resources upon the plateau
and in the mountains which the}
have held from time immcmoria
against the intrusion of outsiders.
Large cropa of corn, beans and
other products .ar. grown upon the
plateau and in the mountains
I rich mines af gold, silver and cop
'per. In time of food shortages ir
other parts of Sonora the Yatuis
during the peaceful days brought in
large quantities of cereals and oth
products. They also have contribut
ed to the mineral wealth of Western
Mexico through the operation
mines, the exact location of which
has never been known.
Several million acres oL land lo
cated in the rich valley of the Yaqui
river have been forcibly taken
the Yaquis. Some of this land is
under irrigation, enormous sums o
money having been spent in the con
struction of great canal systems
place the water upon the differen
tracts.

The cruel treatment of the Yaqu
Indians was one of the issues raised

Fidelity Buildinq & Loan Association
against the Diaz administration oy
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., in his revo-
lutionary campaign. Through his
promises that he would send them
J back to their native land he obtain
ed their support of his revolutionary
cause. Madero, on becoming presi-
dent, sent a commission to confer
with the. Indians and bring about, iJ
possible, a settlement. This com
mission met the chiefs of the tribe
and listened to their demands, which
were to the effect that they would be
satisrted with nothing less than th«
restoration of the entire original
Yaqui holdings. Madero pronounced
the demands unreasonable and the
negotiations ended. So far his prom-
ise to send back the exiled Yaquis
has not been complied with. These
and other alleged grievances are tl*c\
cause of the renewal of the rebellion
The retaking of the Yaqui country
by the Indians has brought a cessa-
tion to the development of many ri«n
mining properties by the Americans
nless these mines are restored to
their ejected claimants they will
suffer the Joss of an enormous sum
of money in the aggregate.
The fighting men of the Yaqul
tribe in their present camapign have
different methods of carrying on their
raids and attacks, as well as making
defenses against tho occasional forces
federals. Their experience during
the Madero revolution is proving ol
great value. Instead of being divid-
ed into small bands of ten and
twenty-five each and carrying on a
sort of guerrilla warfare, as in the
days of the Diaz regime, they are
now organized iu the most approved
military fashion in detachments of
150 to 300 men each. They are arm-
ed with modern rifles and seem to
have an abundance of ammunition.
The putting down of this new Yaqui
revolt wil! be one of the problems
that the government will have to deal
with when it restores tranquility
among the Mexican population of
he country.
