The Saots Cruz Mining Go. is de- veloping some very promising prop. critics at point about two miles from Patagonia, on the Harshaw road, They have two shafts each, about sixty feet deep, which have developed a strong, we'll defined ledge of copper some of the ores extracted reach ing a very high per cent. age. MT. Swartz, one of the principal owners, is now at Patagonia looking out for operations. MT Hart wick, the uperintendent, is now in the east, and when he returns next month he will bring a new hoist, which will be immediately installed, to facilitate the work of sinking and development.

Mr Jas. Kane at Patagonia, Is ready at all times to supply teams and vehicles to convey passengers to the outlying mining regions; or if they want to reach points by trail he will supply good saddle horses.
 The Darwin mine, near the Bland and the Trenton mines, in the Santa Rita mountains, the property of MT. Geo Clark, is a mine with record of shipments of high grade ores, going back twenty years or more.
 The Trenton mine, in the ryndall district, owned by the Arizona Gold & Copper Co.,, makes good showing. The shaft is now down l60 feet, with l25 feet of drifts, and upon the ore dump there is piled goodly quantity 0f pay rock, constantly increasing in dimensions.
 In Tucson, last week, the final transfer was made to Vail, Gates & Ashburn. of the Pennsylvania ranche Of Mir R R Richardson. The price of the 5000 acres of patented land and range rights commanded thereby was S3O,0O0. The cattle were sold for Sl5 per head all around.
 In the Tyndall district, Santa Rita mountains, the Bland mine is making a good showing. This property is owned by Wm. T. Powers of Pata- gonia Geo Clark and E. Heck. The main tunnel has now run over 250 feet and has cut three lodges in all of which there are good showings of ore. Upun the first ledge 250 feetsof drifts expose fair ore all the way. Upon the other ledges the drifts have not yet been carried very far.
 Mr. George W. Grove, general man. ager of the Arizona Gold & Copper Co, assures TIE OASIS that his company means business, and that within very few weeks they will have in operation at Patagonia an automatic samplng plant, with all the latast mechanical improvements They will buy ores from the mines in the surrounding region, will &C., curately test the values contained, and pay the highest market prices for the values determined

The finest and most costly leather
that is used in this country for manu-.
featuring purposes is known in the
trade as piano leather. This leather,
SO called because it is exclusively en-
ployed for covering piano hammers, IS
in its raw STATE an American product,
being the skin of the gray deer, which
are found only in the vicinity of the
great Northern and Western lakes. But
as American tanners have not acquired
the art OF properly curing the skins.
they have to be shipped to Thuringia
Germany, to be tanned before they can
be used by the manufacturers of piano
agents in the West. who collect the
deerskins from the Indians and half
breed hunters. When the skins are
returned to the United States as fin.
iShed piano leather they cost the piano
manufacturers from SIS to $50 per
pound. The worlds supply OF this val
liable and very necessary material Is
monopolized by family OF tanners
who own and operate six or seven es-
Establishments in Germany. the largest
of which are located at Thuringia.- -
Washington Star.

Haytiens say, with the Knowledge and
conniyance of the Dominican govern
ment. But up to the date OF the com
moncemcnt of the present troubles all
such attempts, to improve upon nature
proved unavaling. For the liaytiens
on the left bank discovered the little
scheme, and time after time removed
the obstacles in the river before dam
age was done. However, within cou-
pie of weeks ago, a remarkable thing
happened. The IIaytien soldiers at
Phitobert, situated on Haytien terri
tory on the left bank of the Massacre,
retired to rest one night. When they
awoke next morning they looked in
vain for the river. The bed over
which the water had previously flowed
was dry Investigations followed, and
it was found that the river was flow

the west. or course the Domin.canS
discovered. IOt llldl lue river Hhu

had transferred some substantial
buildings some miles into the interior
of San Domingo in the space OF sim
gle setting and rising of the sun. The
Dominican representatives appeared
Immediately on what was flayticn ter
rtory the day before and called upon
the Hayticn officer TO remove his po-
sition to the other side of the river.
The Dominican officer who made the
demand expressed the Indignation or
his government at the contemplate
action OF the Ilayticns. The Haytiens,
however, refused to withdraw their
post, calling instead upon the Domini-
cans to restore the river to its Origl-
nal bed. Then the trouble commenced
There was clash of arms. The HAY
items had the upper hand, and 50 the
Domincans agreed to have the whole
matter decided by arbitration. Mean
time. however, the Dominicans are
quietly preparing for war, and there is
a strong feeling in llayti that there
will be dash Of arms before the ques-
ton of arbitration is settled. The
haytien troops along the frontier
have been reinforced and are now
quietly awaiting the coming of the
Dominicans to force them back across
the Philadelphia Times.

Product of tho Texas

United States, Mexico, the West Indies,
South America and Europe at cost
SO low that no other fuel can be used
in competition for steam purposes.
Fuel oil from wells in the Beaumont
field can be piped into the seaboard at
Port Arthur and run into tank steam
ers at total cost of production and
transportation no exceeding ten cents a
barrel and as three and one-half bar
rels Of oil are equal to one ton of coal
for steam purposes. this is equal to the
delivery of coal at the seaboard at a
cost of thirtyfivc cents a ton.
The location is specially advantage.

West Indies, which are the largest i'm
porters of American COAL receiving
nearly eighty per cent of all the coal
that is exported, excepting that which
goes to Canada. In considering the ex
port feature of fuel oil and the advan-
tageous location of the Beaumont field
the growing Importance of New Or
leans and Galveston as seaports should
not be overlooked. These ports now
stand respectively fourth and fifth in
the value of their exports, which in
each case amount to more than double
that of San Francisco. and are only
exceeded by New York. Boston and

and Eats W lille swimming.
With my gastronomc taste. | nattr-
ally was very curious to know just
what kind of tcrrapin are caught in
these waters, for the dish is one much
sought after by epicurcs and forms
part of the menu of every tirst-claSs
hotel on the coast. l was told that
none are caught about here, but was
invited TO II sea turtle hunt. Let the
reader imagine Il turtle weighing all
Tie way from 1900 to 1000 pounds
and not long ago one was turned over
on The beach near Miami that weighed
more than 1900 pOunds-of course. l
am giving the largest weight, for the
average weight Of those caught along
the coast is about 800 pounds. After
they are caught the turtles are kept
for long time, their captors feeding
them on cabbage, lettuce, turnips, car
rots and sea grasses.
The study of this monster shclliiSh
is most interesting one. In order to
get rid Of the parasites that cling to
their shells they often enter fresh
water streams to enjoy bath, but
they are extremely timid, and take
fright NJ the least noise. The hunter
knows, however, that the turtle feeds
in brackish streams. where the tide
falls rather low and where the turtle
grass grows in greatest prOfusion. The
turtles cut great quantities Of this
grass and then roll it into Il ball, ce-
menting it rs they roll it with the
clay in which the grass grows; and in
this way, when they have managed tC
amass goodly supply Of provision
they wait for high tide and float away
seward, feeding as they float The
professional hunters are quick to de-
tcct these balls, and just the moment
they do so they set their seines and
send their peggers, rs the men are
called, in search of the feeding shoals

turtles have, however, for bears, rae

Oil Versus
>~ ~ Coal

EX-Gov. Hogg of Texas, believes that
thu discovery of oil in such bountiful
quantity in that commonwealth will
revolutioniZe the fuel question of the
whole world. He says that the manu-
facturers of this country and Europe
have not yet come to Il sense of rea-
liZation of what the wonderful oil dis
coyery and development in the Beau
mont fields means to them. The prob
lem that now confronts the oil pro-
ducers of the new dist It is what shall
they do with the oil.
Seven gushers already IN the Beau
mont field is a record which is adding
daily interest in the development in
the new oil region. 1t seems to be gen.
orally recognized that the great value
of the oil is its quality rs fuel,
placed by naturcd where it is capable
of doing he most good to the greatest
number at the least cost of production.
The special advantages which Beau
mont oil has over any other oil in the
world is in the fact that it can be pro-
duced and marketed at minimum
coo Being produced within eighteen
miles OF Il seaport, it can be pip2d
into tank steamers at cost so small
as to be almost incalculable, and it
can be delivered at the seaports OF the

Kingston, Jamaica. April 4.
The following statement OF the
causes leading up to the recently de-
NelOped boundary trouble between the
republics Of lllyti and Santo DOmin-
go and Of the present condition Of at
fairs is furnished by persons just re-
turnud from the island: What is
known as the Dominican republic, or
the lcpubic of Sinto Domingo, was
once il province Of the republic OF
ilayti. In 1874 the internal troubles
and state Of anarchy which then pre-
vailed las a result of the revolution
which overthrow the government OF
President Boyer, after twenty-five
years in olce) facilitated and was the
cause Of the secession of the eastern
portion of the island. which then pro-
claimed its independence. The exist
ence Of the new republic was recog-
niZcd by the llaytien government III
1874. The question OF the delimitatiun
of the frontiers arose naturally from
the fact that the territory Of the
Dominican republic is not, and never
haj been, defined The incident that
has recently occurred at PhitObert, OH
the northern frontier. and which great
~ Cudangers the friendly relations Of
the sister republics, is considered by
the Haytlcns to be prcmeditlted
provocation on the part of the Domin-
leans. The Haytien posts established
In that district to put down smuggling
and hrigandage from over the border
have had to defend themselves against
the repeated attacks. BY mutual con-
cent the river Massacre, which divides
the Dominican province of Dajabon
tor A'axavon) from Haytien territory
has 'nr long time been professionally
accepted by this government a the
natural boundary of the two states.
All the country on the right bank OF
the river was acknowledged to belong
to Santo Domingo, while the country
On the left bank was regarded by both
governments as lIaytien territory.
And hereby hangs Il funny and in
teresting tale. The Dominicans year
or two ago conceived il brilliant idea.
III owing that nature sometimes makes
rivers in the tropics change their
courses it occurred to some people lie

that they might add considerably t.
