CELEBRATION.

The Memory OF Miguel Hidalgo Rev
erenced In Tucson
Tucson very justly bears an enviable
reputation for the thorough manner in
which she carries out every enterprise
she inaugurates. With lsndable
pride in success and worthy ambition
to excel, her efforts are always crowned
with satisfactory termination. There
are no exceptions. The beginning cere-
monies Ut the Mexican celebration last
night were clearly indicative of most pa.
triotic feeling and joyous remembrance
OF the result of the struggle which lead
ed them among the free nations of earth.
The sympathies of every American are
always extended to any nation battling
for liberty. The night was filed with
music, and the inspiring selections
played by the Philharmonic band added
to the already patriotic conditions.
The speakers stand at the park was
gaily decorated with national colors,
end the Banners Of the two republics.
The act OF independence was read by
Mr.. Pedro Pellon, followed by an ad-
dress in Spanish by Mr. Francisco Velez.
Ex- Governor Hughes reviewed the hie-
tory of the Mexican revolutions, its
causes and its progress to sucaesssul
end. The exercises of the night were
concluded with miscellaneous speaking,
music and the firing of anvlls.
The remainder OF the program for the
day is in process of completion IS We go
to press, and today's celebration will un-
dou btediy take precedence as the grand
est ever held in Tucson, or the territory.
Too much credit cannot be given the
energetic managers who have had the
affair in charge, and they are already
overwhelmed with compliments from all
quarters.

ESPERANZA MINES
Add New Concessions OF Great Nat
ural Value and Wealth.

Colonel Lloyd d. Waddell, represent
| ing the syndicate headed by Mr..
Frederick j. Lancaster, of No. 2 Wall
street, New York City mas this week
returned from Hermosillo aud Guaco-
me8, where he has succeeded IN aiding
most important concessions to those be
had already secured.
Engineer Ignacio Bonillas was last
week at GuacomeG, surveying the new
concessions Colonel Waddell has taken
in that locality. Two of these conces-
sions are named the Eureka and the
Lancaster. The Lancaster is close to
La Esperanzs and Francisco, of which
mention was made in The Oasis of last
week. The Eureka is about one and
one half miles southeast. Surrounding
these properties was surveyed a tract
of timber land, two miles long and one
and oDe-fouth miles wide, which puts
the entire property Of the com pany re-
presented by Colonel Wad6ell in q
eolld, compact body Of laEd on which il
ia estimated there are a. least one
hundred thousand cords of wood,
available for use In the operation OF
the mines and machinery. Colonel
Waddell has had the road between
Imuris and the camp put in the most
perfect repair so the heaviest loaded
teams can traverse the distance with
utmost ease and and facility. Contracts
have been made with p. Sandovsl il Co.
OF NCgales, Sonora, for trsnspoi tation
from Imuris to Guacomea of a coru-
plete twenty stamp quartz mill, and a
portion OF the machinery is already un-
loaded az Imuris, and by the time this

at the camp.
To supply water for the use of the
camp reservoir has been provided, to

construction, which is fifteen feet wide
on the bed rock, will be raised to q
height of thirty feet, five feet wide On

above the dam none Of the water will be
wasted, for, after standing in settling
tanks 1t will be returned to the reser-
voIr for subsequent use.
On the western extension of La
Francisco ledge Colonel Waddell has
taken a new mining concession named
the Empire, covering twenty mining
claims, or ''pertenencias" which ledge
shows gold bearing quartz the entire
length, distance Of mere ihsn one and

from the reservoir, about mile distant,
to feed the tank. Everything is laid

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE"

The following, from the New York
Mail and Express, is reproduced on ac-
count of it's peculiar adsptebilIty to
present circumstances:
That is always "well enough" which
cannot be definitely and certainly Im-
proved. swell enough" does not mean
the "ne plus ultra" of human hope, am
bition and achievement. 1t does not
mean the best for all time, but it does
mean the best for the present.
"Well, enough" is the essence of true
philosophy. Paul, the great Apostle to
the Gentiles, expressed 1t as the sum OF
that development of philosophic religion
which enabled him TO exclsim: 81 have
learned in whatsoever state | am there
with to be content" Content, not sat-
iefed. Shakespeare refers to the same
common sense philosophy as that which
makes US rather "besr the ills We have
than fly to others that we know lot Of"
"Let we'll enough alone" should be
the motto OF every workingman snd of
every citizen, irrespective of occupation,
in this great political crisis. With roof
and bed and board supplied; with
clothes and books, and music and edu-
cation, and all the securities and solaces
Of home and friendship and religion
about US, shall we stake all upon the
ory, a dream, an experiment? What
do our wives and children advise? They
are concerned in such a tremend us
hazard. Shall we abandon the old, re-
liable family horse mid-iourney for an
unbroken colt? Had we not better first
experiment with the colt rather than let
the colt experiment with the wife and
children?

know that there is something surely bet

ARKANSAS PASS HARBOR
WORKS.

The contract to secure deep water at
Arkansas Pass, Texas, and maintain it
for q period of i've years has been
awarded to Col Goodyear, the harbor
engineer, who secured deep water at
Brunswick, Ga, through new process
of using dynamite on the bar, which
Col. Goodyear discovered aud patented
several years ago.
The immense volume or commerce
that is naturally tributary to the gulf
ports and which will seek that outlet as
soon as deep water is attained there.
has been demonstrated by the greatly
increased tonnage that Immediately re-
suited from increased depths over the
Galveston bar, where the water has
deepened within the past year from
Is 10 20 feet. The commerce at the
port of Galveston has, within the past
three monthe, as shown by a tabulated
statement in the Galveston Tribune"
exceeded the total tonnage OF that port
for the previous twelve months. This
increase of 400 per cent in three months
was not anticipated on any depth, much
less depth of 20 feet, and this remark
able result more than confirms the
estimated growth of commerce that will
follow the completion of the harbor
works at the port OF .iransas Pass, where
permanent depth Of from 30 to 35 feet
OF water is assured, or about 10 feet
more than is possible to secure at other
Texas ports.
Mr.. Alexander Brown, the Baltimore
banker, who is in control of the harbor
improvements at Arkansas Pass, has
tried the patience OF the impetuous
Texans, by bis deliberate way OF doing
things, but Nd one who was familiar
with the high reputation OF the great
banking house of Alex. Brown & Sons,
OF which he is the honored head. could
have entertained the idea that he would
ever be content with giving Arkansas
Pass any thing but the fret place among
the gulf ports Of Texas.
The following kilograms, which were
received by the CITIZEN today, confirm
the opinion that Mr.. Alexander Brown
is progressive man:
