It is said that 10 United States vessel nas ever ravigated the Amazon above Mananos. which is $50 miles upstream. The Wilmington draws 8 feet 10 inches, and it is thought that she can go 900 or 1900 miles farther The upper Amazon is not absolutely unexpIored but information about the district 1t t1&verses and the folks who live along it's borders is vague. scarce and unre- liable.

KNOCKED A SALE.
The Owners of a Mine Permitted to Be Tied up in Spite of Pend
 ing Negotiations.

George Kislingbury, the expert who spent some time investigating the Tres Amigos property in the Gro Blanco dis trict was a disgusted individual when a Citizen reporter met him just as he was leaving for Phoenix a few days ago. Mir. Kislingbury was for many years state mine inspector of Colorado and he knows good mine when he sees one. He was favOrabiy impressed with the Tres Amigos property and recommended it's purchase by his com p3ny, which is known ill the west as one of the strongest in the country Captain De Lamar of New York city is at the head of the company, and MT Kislingburys favorable report means a sale. He wanted the Tres Amigos mine and after sampling the property and receiving his assay re- turns in Tucson he was about to tele- graph his recommendation of the pur- chase of the mine for S40,O0O cash. But the message was not sent. The parties who owned the mine allowed other operators to get hold on the property and it was tied up almost be- fore his assays were. completed. MT. Kislingbury wired Captain De Lamar of the situation and instructions came to let the Tres Amigos property go and proceed to Phoenix where he would find $20000 This money will be paid on bond of the Lawler cop per mines near Prescott, which MT Kislingbury reported upon before com ing to Tucson. There is a moral in this story" said MT Kislingbury. which trust will be of future benefit to mine owners in Pima county - Tucson Citizen.

Locus Religosus, this legendary tomb
of the founder of Rome-the "Locum fun
estum" of Festusi On the top OF this again
occurs a one foot layer of tufa, succeeded
by debris and accumulation, and, finally,
by the travertine paving of later times.
Practically, therefore, there are six layers
in all, averaging one foot in thickness
apiece.
The question now comes with full force
upon us: What events in early Roman his
tory are known which might have occas-
ioned such proceedings as great national
eNplatory offering in the Comitium? The
answer is: AT least, there were two such
events. First, there was the expulsion Of
the Kings; secondly, the sack OF the city
by the Gauls; on both of which occasions
the sacred shrines in the Forum suffered
and had TO undergo wholesale repair and
reconsecration al the hands of the Ponti-
4hces. To one or other of these historical
crises We may confidently refer the
methodical condition of the area enclosing
these ancient monuments, and described
above; that is, TO the sixth or to the fourth
century B. C. Meanwhile we must pa

friendliness existing between the United States
and Great Britain would he seriously endangered.
We have heard Of things that might happen in
the DAYS of the flying turtle and the twisting
sands but never was anything silier than this
new-found parochial English idea. We take pleas
ure in informing whoever may cherish any stock
in this unworthy English conception, that the
betting on on the cup race is even, and that it
has already been planned, in case the Shamrock
should win. to build schooner here that
will try toiircpeat the still glorious perform

NOTES OF THE NATIONAL GAME

There is no better coacher for young
pitchers in the League than Malachi Kit
fridge. McGee says that he would rather
pitch TO Kit than any catcher in the organ
iZation, and this is the feeling of other
pitchers on the team.
One of the easiest places on the .nfeld
to play is second base The throws are
short and the second baseman ALWAYS has
time 10 consider the best play to be made.
as everything Is in front of him. Not
withstanding this, there are but few finish
ed artists playing the position. Third base
is the most difficult and trying position
on the diamond being the most important.
Since the days OF Denny and Mulvey the
stars at that position have been few. Col
Inns and Wallace are stars of the present
day. Several youngsters who have recently
come into the game have made a repu-
tation at that bag. and will, in time, if
no bad luck befalls them make a national
reputation. These are Williams of Pitts
burg, Leach of Louisville, and Elberfeld
of Cincinnati.
Buck Freeman leads the League in
home runs, and stands second on the list
in three baggers. He has made Is home
runs, IL two baggers, and 10 three baggers
Delehanty, of Philadelphia has made 46
two-base hits, but only S home runs. Wal
lace, OF st. Louis, stands next to Freeman
on home-run hits, having made 8. He
made % two-baggers and Is three baggers.
This being Freeman's first year in this
League, it is reasonable to believe that
he Will prove one OF the best batters in the
organization next season.
