Bananas the Bread o
Tropic Lands.

The banana, which alone OF fruit:
possesses all the essentials 70 the sus-
tenance of human life, is worth more
than all the others, ant is thus the most
valuable fruit in the world Even with
us it already holds its own when COM
pared with any other fruit, while in some
countries-Africa, for instance-its Po-
sition is as important as that of wheat
in the United States, or rice in China
Over the larger part of the Dark Cont
nent, says the Youths Companion, the
banana is the staple article of native
food, and every African village has its
banana fields, as we have fields of po-
tatoes or corn.
The anana belongs 10 the great Musa
family which, with its scores of species
and innumerable varieties, encircles the
world between the tropics of Cancer and
Capricorn. even extending its limits
few degrees TO the north and south of
them. The plaintain, OF which we read
so much in ali books describing travel

WHAT CAME OF FOURTH
OF JULY SPEECH?
WILL yIssCHER.

II was the summer OF 1907. Inc al
mics of the Tennessee and the Cum
berland had just passed through the
campaign that followed the occupancy
of Nashville by the union forces
Buell's army it was that had made a
forced march of ten days from Narhville
to Pitts burgh Landing, the last "a hours
of which had been double quick" a
great portion of the time, much of it
through rain and mud, and the last II
hours in the night, with the mud and
rain Accomplishments, TO the field of
Shiloh, there 10 relieve Grants stricken
troops and to retrieve the first days
disa ster.
Through that bloody field, and the
evils that followed it-mud, cold, hunger
the most terrible privations and dis
comforts, indeed, known TO soldier-life
III times of war, came the siege and cap
ture of Corinth, the battle of Iuka
Springs, the march TO Decatur and Tus-
cumbia, and then on 20 Huntsville. II
was within a few miles of the last
named place that the army lay encamp-
ed, in the early days of July, and in a
level valley, where there were wide
stretches of plain and here and there
forests of towering live-oak.
Here the Fourth of July was cele-
brated in almost a home-like way.
A stand was erected beneath the trees !
and seats were imPrevised Of logs and
piles OF poles laid across wooden forks
driven into the ground. The stand was
arbored with boughs of green, and "Old
Glory" was tastefully woven among /
them.
The orator of the day was Young
brigadier named Garfield, and his voice
in patriotic eloquence, rang out over the
vast audience of bronzed soldiers like a
silver bell.
He said things that brought only such
cheering as one hears in any army. L
was sincere, wholesome and enthusi
astic
There is 4 well-known old story Of
those times, in those armies, that a Wis
ting govern or of state while riding
along with general of division, hear
ng a wild and prolonged cheer in the {
distance, asked what IT meant !
"Only Rousseau or a rabbit" was the I
aconic reply. 7
Such was the popularity Of General {
ousseau, of Kentucky, in that army. a

When upon going into camp at any Il

we're started from their hiding places, c
he soldiers, cheering as if they we're :
making a charge, would chase Mr.. Rab- y
it by battalions, until often that prov r

'ould stop, overwhelmed by fright, and a

Colonel Lloyd D. Waddell of New i | 0rk City, representing a syndicate lOf heavy capitalists headed by Mr. Frederick ] Lancaster of No. ? Wall
 street, has just closed a deal by which
 there passes into their hands the ab-
 solute title to the justly noted gold
 properties, the Espefanza and Fran cisco mines, which are located in the
 Magdalena district of Sonora. about
 twenty-tvc miles southwest of the
 town of lmuriS, and are said to be two of the most promising gold mining
 prop0stiOas in all Sonora. Reports made, after careful and thorough in- yestgation, by those well known min ing engineers lgnaci0 BOuillas of So. nora, and Jobn Parish of Colorado, state that the veins are true Assures. and that the properties are of great value.
 The properties are well developed, having over 2,Oe09eet of shafts, tun- uelS, drifts and winzes, exposing to sight over 200,O0U tons of high grade ore.
 The purchase price of the property was not stated to THE OASIS, but Is was hinued that to write the figure would require the numeral and five ciphers.
 A twenty-stamp mill will be imme- diately erected upon the ptoperty: several carloads of machinery for the same are now at Nogales, in transit. and transportation between ImurIs and the mines has been engaged.
 Like the Miuas PrietaS properties. now world famous and the recent sale of which for millions has opened the eyes Of the world to the mineral possi- bilities of Sonora, these mines. it is will be bullion producers; and before the winter has we'll set in they will be pouring forth stream of wealth ofno mean magnitude.
