STORY OF y TEXAS NINE
Supposed to Haze Been Worke5i
Worked by the Spani4lds Many
Years Ago.


of which Col. A. c. Schriev,r it
president, and Col Richard Woo
ey, IT,, is Manager, both residents
of San Ant"niu, owns one of tn,
most remarkable and ihterestir Q
mining properties that is probably

day. This property consists of all
Old Span sh working which is soon
TO be eztersif' ~ explored, arrange
mcnts tor carrying on the work
now being in progress. This pro
petty is Situated a5rut ten miles
from the town of Llano, in til,
county OF that name. Ii his Won
d,rihl history, soinc OF which is ira
diiiunal, but much If it has bren
verified 10y investigation into the
Old Spanish archives, where docu
menls bearing on the existence and
The prodnctivcness oil the nine were
brought to light.
The mine Was being EXTENSIVE ly
worked in the year 1923, as Is
shown 10y letter written in tina
year by the superintendent of the
of the property to, The governor OF
this Mexican state, aek:ng that the
worklnen at the mine be furnished
with military protection, as the In
dians we're b, coming troublesome
and It was feared that they would
he attacked and killed. This letter
is still on file among tie govern
nent papers at Monterey, Mexico.
AID was found there few ycars
ago by Prof. w. II. Won Steeru
wiz, wel.-knowr gcologist Of a Us
tin, T,xas. 1t is not known wheth
cr the military protection asked for
was furnished, bus il is supposed
that the report was not promptly
granted, as the unfortunate miners
met with the fate which heir fore
man had predicted for them. Mary
years later party .! the early set
tiers Of that :, elton ot the STATE
stumbled upon the old mine. There
WAS one sh fl apparent on the sur
face, aud lying at the rnou h oil this
=Eafi were five tx letonS of mer,
one OF which had an arrow protrud
ing from The ekull, pl"inly showing
that they had met TIN ir dea'h al
the hands OF the Indians. This di-
covery Was made some time in the
70's, and there were, even at that
late date, great many Indians IN
Tie section around the mine, bui
all OF those interviewed on the sub
irc! claimed to kHow nothing of the
skeletons or the abandoned mine.
Ia addition 10 these skeletons
there were found the ruins of thee
smelling furnaces, which were oi q
large c,paciry, and from the i'm
mense piles of Stag surrounding
them it was evident that they had
treAtt d a large amount If precious
ore. The finding of the skeletons
was evidence that the mine was
being wpik cd at the time tile mas
sacre occurred, and that the ore
body hAd not given out and thr
mine abandoned, as was the CASE
with nearly all OF the Cd Spanish
mines, the luins of which dot the
mountainous reg CHS of southwest
Texas aud III. x co. That the mine
was rich one is 50 stated in the
letter on lie at Monterey. 1t is
called an "4lm@eres" mine IN that
letter, which is Spanish expires

THE SCHOOL BOND BUSINESS AGAIN.

an Arizola gentleman to one or those who have been chiefly Instrumental in forcing upon Arizola a decided injus- Lice in school matters. This pub lication is made fer several reasons.
 First. it is desirable to show that Arizola is in receipt of constant acces- sions of public spirited; energetic citi- izens. who take an interest in these matters. and who feel the injustice that Smith. Reid X Co. are seeking to perpetrate
 Next, it is desirable 10 show that the newcomers feel the injustice just as keenly, or more, as those who were here when the attempted injustice was inaugurated..
 Again it is advisable to show by the language actually used in conyersa- tion over the matter between two in- lerested gentlemen, that in discussion If this matter TIE OASIS has never approached the drastic censure of it's opponents that they meet the first dime they encounter an energetic gen 1leman who finds himself subject to their hoggish injustice.
 The foregoing are ample reasons for she publication. They also serve as an introductory to q statement that 1t is proper to present to the public of Pinal county, and Arizona, at this time.
 This difficulty between Arizola and Casa Grande on school matters dates back now about year. THE OASIS will say right here that it has reason to believe that the people Of Casa Grande, if left to their own sense Of justice. would have long since conceded Arizolas rights in the matter; but for the determined opposition of two or three aggressive men with axes to grind. They have much to win by persisting in the course chosen; the others have nothing to gain by oppoS- ing them, so the course is followed.
 With the permanent improvements inaugurated at Arizola and in the yi- cinity couple of years ago, there was bound to be growth. With growth and creation of homes a demand for school facilities was bound to follow
 When Arizola had acquired more  than the number of children of school age required by law to create school district. with a prospect for steady increase, which prospect has material ized. her people set about securing creation of a school district. The school superintendent was consulted and he advised the method of proceed ure adopted
 After the Arizola petition was pre- pared for presentation to the board of supervisors the board of directors of Casa Grande school district. which includes Arizola, called special cleo tion and voted S6,O0O in bonds to con- struct a school house at Casa Grande. ScAool Superintendent Miller was again consulted, and he explicitly ad- vised the Arizola people to take no part in the election; that having in- augurated their petition in advance of the school bond election it would be first heard and granted, and that the school bond election would be consid- cred by the board Of supervisors after ward, and the bonds issued would in no sense cover property in the Arizola district. Ll!lei by this information the Arizola people paid no attention to the bond election
 The Arizola petition and the bond election came to consideration at the
 meeting of the board of supervisors in April last. By downright mlsrep-

The inlnnction was dissolved. fof number of weeks the board deferred action on the petition and opening the bids. hoping to arrange matters between the two places. A joint meeting was held. with that object in view. At that meeting Messrs. Reid and smith acted the part of buldos- CTS to perfection. As Mir Smith brut- ally expressed t, they had the drop on Arizola ond intended pushing it to the farthest extremity, Then Su- peryisor Bonnet caused the matter to be held a few days on proposition that he said emanated from Mr. smith. That was tO vote at once an additional issue of S4.Og0 in bonds for school building at Arizola, sell all the bonds. erect both buildings and then divide the district, all the property ia each being security for both Although they would furnish more than seven tenths of the taxable property and un- der that proposition would get but four tenths of the bonds, the people of Arizola would have gladly accepted it.. What they want are peace and progress litigation and stagna- ti0n. But Mir Smith utterly repudi- ated the proposition. So the board oi supervisors again rejected the Arlzola petition and opened the bids for the bonds. One was accepted and the bid der notified.
 But the money for the bonds did not materialize, and they yet remain unsold. Under the law they became subject to cancellation on the first of January. At that time the Arizola petition was renewed. As stated else where consent was given to postpone action until the April term, with the implied understanding that at that time the bonds should be cancelled and the new district created. The reason given for postponement was that the board did not wish to create a new district in the middle of the school year; that April would be the beginning of another school year. and the board would then gladly set up the district. The reason given seemed valid and tue representatives of Arizola consented to wait.
 But now it is stated that smith, Reid & Co. are still actively engaged in an effort to sell the bonds, and hope to do so before the April meeting of the board. Then. they think. they will have their school house and make ArizoIa stand the expense.
 It would be just as well for all con cerned to refrain from pushing this injustice upon the people of Arizola. In the first place, the Arizola people cannot in the end be made to pay for a school building in which they can have no part. Every step in the as sessment and collection of taxes upon Arizola property to pay interest oi principal on the present issue of bonds will be contested in the courts. Surely there is somewhere in the law pro tection against injustice so rank, anc the people of Arizola will look for it until they find it and receigeits kindly shelter. Again, as MT. Doan pointed out. the issue is one which will alway' return to annoy those having hanC or aiding in the perpetration of thii proposed injustice. Arizola is grow ing steadily and her growth is healthi and permanent. She already has quit substantial vote, and il is steadil, increasing. The settlers now her and those coming are active, intclli gent men of affairs who have mean

The mail for San Francisco and points
