The Colorado Mine.

W. II. Randall, who recently made q careful examination Of the Colorado mine, states that 1t is not only fast forging to the front as bullion pro- ducer, but that it is in his iudgmcni only matter Of time and develop mcnt when it will be classed as one of SonOra's greatest mines.
 The property is situated in the Planchas district, and about twenty miles distant from Nogales. There is a historical interest attached to this property worthy of mention. Years ago the Spaniards worked and pros pected for what was termed the lost mine, rich float and frequently large pieces Of native silver were picked up, but the source from whence it came remained a mystery as well as an in- centive to continue the search. Even to this day after a heavy rain pros pectors may be seen searching the wash in the canon below where the Colorado crosses it, for native silver. And it is of peculiar interest to know that it was due to heavy rain that enabled Mir. Miguel Bornio, the owner of the mine. Go discover it's where abouts. The vein had been covered with loose debris which becoming lOosened hy the raiDs caused q slide disclosing the vein to view and upon which are the present workings
 The vein is iD ? p0lpbyfY and quarizite formation It's general course being northefly and scntheriy dlppirg casterlY The ore is perfectly ffes m4iiing iInes peclnehs 9i sllFer glailce and horn silyerare frequently found. The ore is sorted into two grades, twelve to fifteen tons of the lower running from 2 to GO ounces, is daily shipped to the Planchas mill. The higher grade running 100 ounces and upwards is sacked for shipment to El Paso. There are at present about a hundred and fifty feet of development work done, and 9 tunnel is being run to cut the vein at l50 feet. Eighty burros are at present used in packing ore from the mine. Doubtless the ship ment of high grade ore willsoon reach two cars per month.

yentriloqunl Automatons


 Some months ago TIE OASIS printed a short account of mechanical ap- paratus which MT. Wm. Young was making for yentriloquial perform ance with which he intends travelling. He has now completed the apparatus, and yesterday TIE OASIS man was in- yited to inspect the array. It consists of nine aut0matons-Mr McGinnis, a red headed Irish woman; Win Ching, a son of the Flowery Kingdom; Broad way Dick, a metropolitan character: Rufus Nosegay, colored orator: Mir. McGinnis, q rare favored Ilibernian; Hans Hickenschneider, sauer kraut consumer; Silas Jonathan, quaint Yankee; Arthur Balfour, an English dude: Miss Dellah Sassinger,a a colored lady.
 The nine figures are seated in semi-circle, on the stage, in the order named above, with MT. Young in the middle, as interlocutor. Between Mir Young and Mr. McGinnis on his right, is covered table, on which rests his arm, and beneath which is the cleo trical machinery moving the figures, which are all very lifelike and natural. Their songs and speeches are all rem dered, yentrlloqually, of course, by Mr. Young. In this the gentleman performs feat done by no other ven- triloquist, in carrying nine voices, and songs by all The New York Mercury la theatrical journal has looked up the matter and states that heretofore no performer has carried more taaa fire voices. and but three singers.
 fife motions oi the automatons are very natural, their lips and chins move, when talking or singing, and they turn their heads in either direc- tion. Rufus Nosegay arises in his place. bows to the audience and de- liyers speech, making numerous gestures: Silas Jonathan crosses his knees, or putting the foot on the floor boisterously applauds: and Delilah Sas- singer fans herself with all limaginable grace and dignity. It is an immense performance, and triumph of me chanical art.

A North Louisiana paper gives
the following sensible causes why
the young men of the present age
think they have such a hard road
to travel on their journey to fame
and fortune:
1T is often said that young men
1T the present day do not have as
good opportunities as their fathers
had Of winning their way in the
world. We doubt the correctness
of Che statement. The trouble
with too many Of our young men
is that they want to begin life
where their fathers left of, and
are unwilling to practice the rigid
economy and self denial which their
fathers practiced to win foothold
in The world. They also shrink
from the hard work which their
fathers performed. Opportunities
are about as they ever were. II is
the men who have degenerated.
Too many of our young men are
unwilling to pay the price of sue
cess in life. "

tribute the yellow fever. Lock up
Lou Stevens and slide Brady into

What About Our Delegate9

What About Our Delegate?
Within the next fifty days the
people of Grant parish are to nom-
mate and elect a delegate to repre-
sent them in the constitutional con-
vention. This is no time for the
discussion of the "tarlff' or ssfree
silver" issue. This is home affair
in which national issues have no
place, and the dragging of them in
can have no effect except TO cause
dissention in the selection of a
proper and efficient representative.
Our constitutional convention will
not have these matters before 1t in
any shape, and they should there
fore be entirely eliminated from
the discussion. The question is,
shall we have fair representative
citizen on guard to help frame our
organic State law?
There is no lack of political
fiedgelings who want to go to the
convention for the money or politi-
cal capital they can make out of it.
The position demands men of pro-
bity and character, men who UNDER
stand the needs of the people, and
have knowledge of the general
effect of the laws we now have and
the changes wanted in them.
This fitness is to be determined
by the standard of the persons
views on questions of public edu-
cation, election qualification, pro-
lection of agricultural industries,
and efficient judicial administra-
ton of the laws, ard all other mat
tiers that directly affect the public
interest. A broad knowledge of
affairs, wise forethought, and a
comprehensive consideration of the
needs of all of the people is the
first requisite to be sought. The
next is, that the delegate, while
firm in his own convictions and
ideas, shall nevertheless be ready
and willing to make all necessary
and intelligent compromises and
combinations to frame laws that
will be for the benefit of the pres
emit aud generations to come. The
political shark and chronic Office
seeker will hardly be found with
these qualifications.
