Some of our American friends will besurprised 10 learn that once mar ried in this country to a native, and she bear child, that makes him a citizen of this republic and subject to military duty, unless previous to the marriage he makes d declaration to the American consul that he does not intend to become a citizen of this country.
 A great excitement has been raised by the discovery of some very rich ancient mines about ninety miles east from here, by Senor Don Juan Farra. Ore found there assayed 800 per ton in gold Sixty old arastras, which had been used in working it's ores, were found in the immediate vicinity of the mine. The tailings banned out ten to twenty cents per pan.
 With a railroad to Torres which will facilitate the shipment of heavy ma. chnery to the camp, many additions will be made in that line to the ma chinery now in place. The pounding Of stamps and the blowing of whistles will remind any one that they are in d very prosperous camp which has as bright a future as any camp on the globe. REX.

 DEAR SIR: NoGALKs.
 In your last issue of THE OASIS of April 9th appears an item stating that the American interests are in the very capable hands of Vice-Consul Willard etc., and should have said Chas. E. Hale who is the vice consul and act ing, the consulship having become va cant by the resignation of Mir. Gibson, andas the American colony unanim- ously petitioned the United States government to appoint the acting vice consul at this port, the above mis- take in the name might interfere and if you will make a correction of the same 1 shall be thankful to you.
 Mr. Chas. F.. Hale is an old resident of Sonora, highly respected by all classes, he is just and upright and would represent the United States government with dignity, he has been acting vice consul for over fifteen years and knows the routine of the business perfectly, and any fayors you may bestow upon him will be appre- ciated by all of his friends aud espe- cially by
 Yours very respectfully

For the Benson Route.

The following letter has been re- ceiyed by the Citizens Committee having in hand the project for pre- senting to the north and south rail- road the advantages of the Benson route. It was received only this week, having miscarried in the mail:
 DUDLEYvILLE, ARIZONA,
 March 18th, 1895. To THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE OF No
 GALES, A. T.
 GENTS:
 Having seen your railroad circular and being much taken with it's repre- sentation of the Benson, Mammoth and Florence route, l endorse the many points set forth in said circular. It does not represent half the adyant- ages for railroad along this proposed line, The cattle and mineral resources at and near Riverside are simply in.- mense. This route would open up the Mineral Creek, Cane Springs and the Banner District. This district is rich in lead. The 79 mine alone can ship number of carloads daily, and other rich lead mines in the vicinity would be heavy shippers. The San Carlos Copper Companys group of copper mines is within seven miles of the proposed line with large smeting plant in position but want of cheaper transportation prevents their opera ton. Ten miles further up the San Pedro is an ineXhaustible dike of fine building rock consisting of onyx, lithO- graphic limestone and marble of the finest quality and all colors. This quar- ry would only be one mile from the pro- posed line of railroad. There are mil lions of tons of this valuable rock in sight, and according to experts there is no finer rock in the United States. 1 own the quarry and would at once commence shipping if the railroad would come .his way. Twelve miles further up the San Pedro is situated the Mammoth gold mines which would give railroad great traffic, Then there are the large farming resources from Riverside to Benson and the large number of beef cattle that would be shipped oyer the road if built along this line. ltwould be only two miles west of the lower coal fields on Deer Creek and thirty miles from the up- per coal field. .

JANUARY RESOLUTIONS.

If you wish to avoid one fruitful
cause of discomfort during the coming
year, make a resolution not to grumble
about the weather. Kicking and fault
finding never made hot day cooler
or cold day warmer; but, on the
other hand, hey always intensity the
current weather trouble immensely.
If you want to make your husband
good natured, resolve to help him to
have his own way invariably. He
probably will anyhow, and the adop-
ton and carrying out of this resolu-
ton Will save a whole lot Of trouble.
If your wife has got in the habit Of
asking you for money every day, re-
solve to make her regular allowance
and then keep your resolution. You'll
be as much surprised by the result as
she will be by the resolution.
If you have become disheartened by
the depravity of your fellow men, re-
solve to stop thinking about it and try
to do a favor every day for some one
of them It will amaze you to sec
how quickly the world at large will
improve in your eyes.
If the new year find you clean dis
couraged because of a lack of progress
in 1895, review the y months carefully
and see if wasted time has not been q
the bottom of your failures. II 1t has
resolve to make the minutes count II
1896. 4 year is made up Of minutes
and you cannot we'll fail to advance
between New Years days if you maxi
every minute count.

a USEFUL PRESENT.

Caleb Crimmins was as sweet on
Debby Dander as a humble bee on
hOneysuckles. That was a we'll under
stood fact among the young folks of
Bradbury, back-country village OF
the middle west; and although Caleb
had the reputation of being very
near he was known in a number Of
instances to have opened his heart ;
and his purse slightly-in demonstra-
ton Of that fact. And when Caleb
Crimmins went down into his jeans"
Qn the mellow flow of the village
tongue waggers) it meant that return
might be expected on the board in
short order. That is to say, folks
was eXpectin' of a invite to the we'd
din fore long"
1t panied Caleb intensely when he
thought of the rapid succession al
birthdays, Christmases and money
taking holidays with which the year
was crowded, and he resolved that but
| few OF them should elapse before he
had the knot tied hard and fast with
Miss Debby; and then they would g
kinder slow on the gosh blamed
spendin' business" Debby was not a
all eXtravagant in her notions of gift
taking, but she did think it was ut
more than right that she should b.
remembered occasionally with som
tangible demonstration of affection

Views of Statesmen.

The message caused a distinct SEN
sation in congess Cleveland goes
much farther than any one supposed
he would. The predictions of many
are that it will result in war. The war
idea is secuted, however, by the con-
servative element, though all admit
that the feelings between Great Britain
and America are bound to be strained.
Senator Davis, republican member Of
the committee on foreign relations,
says: FI think the president has risen
to an opportunity such as has not been
presented 20 any president in many
years. In language of great dignity,
power and accuracy he has stated the
Monroe doctrine as understood by the
American people for seventy years"
Theobald Often thinks the presi-
dent is right and that the message is
good business-like American docu-
ment. He doesn't take any stock in
the war talk, as the business interests
between the two countries are too great
to permit of hostilities.

was in the throes Of a job of guessing
what to get cor Debby. There's so
tarnal much nonsense bout Christmas
presents said he, that a teller don t
know what to git" But he held 10
his established rule that it should be
"somethin' useful and onextravagant.' y
But what Debby needed most, that
was the perplexing question.
Caleb was to take Debby to the
Christmas doin's" at the village
church, where there was to be a tree
for the young folks, and he thought it
would be the proper caper to hang his
present on the tree with the others,
and have it handed out publicly, to
show that he was up and doing with
the rest OF them. And so it came to
pass that among the good things
hanging on he tree was a sealed en-
velope marked, Merry Christmas to
Deborah Dander, from Mr.. Caleb
Crimmins." This the minister, who
oficiated as distributor. took down,
and, with some sly remarks on its
supposed contents, called upon the
young lady to come forward and re-
ceive it.
AS Debby passed up the aisle she
was accosted on either side by her
young friends, who eagerly inquired:
What is it, Debby? Open it and let
US seer' With burning cheeks she
took the mysterious envelope and re-
turned to her seat beside the smiling
donor, who advised her to open it.
1 lis she did and found within nothing
but slip of paper with some writing
on it. She read the words, and blush
ing still more deeply crumpled the
paper in her hand; then turning 10
Caleb in an agitate0 manner, she
said:
''Mr. Crimmins, we will go home,
right Off"
Caleb forthwith conducted Debby
to her home, where she babe him
frigid good night, Mr. Crimmins,"
and left him to sneak off to his own
abode, with a sort of wish I hadn't
feeling ranking in his system.
The match was broken off short then
and there, and it was some time before
the why and wherefore were known to
the wondering friends of both. When
the secret did leak out broad grin
overspread the face of all Bradbury,
and no wonder. Calebs Christmas
present to Debby was an order on the
village dentist for -four dollars worth
Of pullin' and film"

= CHRISTMAS EVE THOUGHT.

If Santa Claus should stumble,
As ne climbs the chimney tall
With all this ice upon it,
I'm 'fraid he'd get fall
And smash himself to pieces
To say nothing OF the toys.
Dear me, what sorrow that would
bring
To all the girls and boys!
So am going to write a note
And pin it to the gate,-
I'll write it large, so he can see,
No matter if it's late,-
And say. Dear Santa Claus, don't Try
- climb the roof tonight,
But walk right in, the doors unlocked,
The nursery's on the right!'
