Beauty Che same Eyerywhere.

Never in all my life.n said U. s. 1 Consul R. IIughs Long, to TIE OASIS
 man yesterday, as he leaned up against railway car at the depot, and lighted brown paper Mexican cigarette,
 have l been more delighted than with the account given by Colonel Bacon, U. $. A., of his visit at Her mosillo with that distinguished sol dler and statesman, General Luis F.. Torres, of whom Colonel Bacon was the guest. have conceived a great admiration for both of these distin- guished servants of the two republics. and 1t has pleased me greatly to see the two gentlemen so closely drawn to each other Such international oc- casions are of great value in cement ing a lasting friendship between the two great republics and when men so whole hearted and whole souled get together, frem tive adjoining nations, their mutual attraction is of vast as- sistance in cementing and maintain ing a true entente cordial between their respective countries. I observed with interest that the gallant colonel was as keenly alive to feminine beauty as, when young lieutenant on the staff of General Sherman, in 1883, he was the idol of the belles of the Blue Grass region Of Kentucky, and after his praise l shall certainly go to Her mosi,lo to see for myself the manifold graces and attractions he so gallantly extolled in the se1oritas of the Sonora capital"

 Tuesday of the present week Fore
 man Joe Thompson, with heavy force of masons and workmen, com
 menced work on the great dam which
 IS to enlarge and deepen the reservoir
 which was so successfully created by
 the dam constructed early in the year.
 The new dam is just below theold one, and will be about double the height, raising the water nearly to > level with the Crest0n mill site and backing it up to within a few rods of that building.
 Tuesday work was begun at point about midway between the Minas Prietas mill and the Creston hoist, ex. cavating a site for the new building which IS to be for the electrical de- Dartment, under charge of Chief Elec. trician Harry II. Davidson. The building will be about 60xls feet. out side dimensions, with three large rooms-One 20xl5 for the office and battery room, with switch buards for tue telephone system, etc; the second lexl5 feet for use as a storerOom, and the third l5xl5 feet for the personal quarters of the chief electrician.
 The Torres & Minas Prietas rall- way is delayed somewhat by the non- arrival of ties which are en route. Ar engagements have recently been made with MT. H. T; Richards for quanti- ty he had secured for his Hermosillo street railway. and with them the track will shortly be completed to La Colorado. The others will be on the ground by November 1st when the road will be extended to Prietas. and the spur to the Grand Central and and Amarillas mines put in. The latter will have two branches, one to each mill and to get up there the lines will be constructed over 4b per cent grades.

For the present work the ma hinery formerly used at the Creston loist will be used; but a plant equal o that now in use at the Creston has 'eon ordered and will in due time be rected. The big shaft will be sunk 30 feet before cutting out station. rom which a drift will be run 100 feet Q connect with the 400 foot level. The vein will be cut at depth of 800 eet.

it's origin. But this Is wholly natural,
because of its traditional history,
which would be no more or less than
should be expected of any events under
similar conditions.
There are cathedrals in Europe, to-
day, which bear the mark of the man
who fashioned it's stones; not for per-
sonal fame, but to the glory of God. 1t
is enough for us to know that about
200 years ago there We're lodges, asso-
Citations of masons. who We're bound to-
gather by certain rules, which are still
preserved in the masonry OF today.
They taught by legends, as it was I'M
lawful at that time for them to teach
many of the things that they did.
Early in the English history, We
King Solomon's time. formed by COM
mon sympathy of man. Later. societies
were organized from the individual, or
operative masonary, not for the build
ing of stone but building the spiritual
temple. Masonry has grown from these
old truths, which are Interchangeable.
We. are seeking for light and truth, as
we, have since the later masonry, as
an organization.
IN the 18th century, in III there
were no grand masters; the masters
of lodges could open lodges. But this
was abused. 1t was soon found nee
essary to have charters granted to
make a lodge authentic. From that
time on, the. order grew healthily and
steadily. There were, from the four
largest foreign lodges, other lodges
formed in England and Scotland. The
master of the lodge, however, still ad-
hered to the traditional principles. 1t
is so today, and it is necessary that ii
should be so. There should be no in
ovations. The usages of masonry must
keep to the standard of our forefathers.
The first masonic lodge in this coun
try was formed in Philadelphia in 1880

the Scottish acceptance. By the for

Scottish system. After the revolution,
however, it was common principle to
accept no foreign jurisdiction. This
resulted in the founding of the United

lodge was founded. (Applause)

And as the people homeward went,
by the light of the great white moon,
they thought and wondered why it was
that lodges don't somehow manage it
TO have centennials, or something like
them, very much oftener.
The day was perfect: the night was
as bright as the day.
The old Kennebec river, and the
moon, and the stars that twinkled
away, are the only ones now left that
were present when old Kennebec Lodge
was chartered. People move and change,
but the world sails on forever.
May Kennebec Lodge always be what
it has been. an honor to its city, and a
source of manliness and pride to its
members.

plosion occurred on the Turner hall
property. where a gang OF men are
engaged in blasting for foundation,

erecting an annex to the hall proper.
It appears that the men had
been careless in handling the explo-

rock, but few timbers and rock were
placed over it to weight it down.
The weight was far from what was
necessary. and when the charge was
exploded the timbers and rocks were
blown in all directions. One timber
several feet in length was blown over
the Turner hall building and alighted
in B. Winters yard.
Two large rocks came down on the
roof OF the patrol wagon station and
broke through. One Of the rocks lit
in a stall. But luckily the horses
were out. About twenty smaller
holes were put in the roof. which is
