WAYSIDE NOTES.

De Lamar, the millionaire mining operator of New York: Mir. A. l..
 Stohl of Tucson, and the editor of THE OASIS reached La Colorado, en route to points in the eastern part of the Ures district of Sonora, and to Sua4ui Grande and adjacent regions in the Sahuaripa district. During the day man with four horse team was engaged to take the party to Ma cori Grande the following day, and a supply of provisions was laid in for use upon the route at remote points where meals cannot be readily obtain ed, or to supplement the fare present. ed where we might stop for meals.
 Wednesday morning bright and early, we were ready for the start, and about the appointed time, o'clock, the carriage appeared in front of the hotel. Instead of four horses, as agreed, the man had "spike team," span of mules with a horse in the lead. To this there was some demur, but as the 'cochero' insisted that he would get the party to Nacori in good season in the afternoon, it was con- cluded to accept the ''rig" and start. So the baggage was loaded upon the vehicle, the party got aboard, and the start was made at precisely seven o'clock.
 The region tiaversed all day was slightly rolling, the road hard and smooth-most excellent for making good time-and the company very agreeable, so the time passed quickly and the trip to the end of the first days travel was of unalloyed pleasure. All three of the travellers served in the war of ls6l-5, and they had many experiences in common to compare and discuss.
 Both Messrs. Kislingbury and Stohl proved very interesting travelling com panions. MT. Stohl has resided in Arizona more than twenty-five years, and related many interesting reminis- cences. Mir. Kislingbury was raised in the lead mining region of Wiscon- sin, where he began mining when boy, in 1860, and except during his war experience, has followed that call ing ever since, having worked in mines in Wisconsin. IlliLois, Ken lucky, Missouri and Colorado, having worked mines as superintendent and manager in Nevada and Utah, and as an expert having visited all parts of Mexico and the United States, be- sides trips to Lower California, Hon. duras and Alaska Of course he re- called many interesting "reminiscences.
 One Of his most interesting rela- tions was his account of a recent ex- animation made by him of the Sierra Blanca mine not a thousand miles from this is written. He went to re- port upon mine with II foot ledge of alleged sixteen dollar per ton gold rock. He found it to average B Il | per ton-according to his method of samplng. He was prepared to buy tifty.one per cent of the stock of the mine for s2O0,0O0 gold, were the ore a sixteen dollar rock and the ledge as wide as stated Bat he didn't want s II rock at that price. So he turned | down the proposition Where at one of the owners of the ifty-one per cent offered for sale, wrote to Mir. Kisling. bury's principal very indignant let ter very severely criticising the ex- pert's method of sampling. Upon re- ceipt of the letter the principal turn ed it over to MT. Kislingbury to

History is a complex, and though its
ultimate forces are few its proximate
factors are many. AS civilization ad-
rances humanity becomes more and
more bewildered by the amihcations
81 its own life and the multiplicity OF
it's own apparent interests. Life seems
10 lose its unity. and 20 become for
multltudes a giddy whirl and swirl OF
HETEROGENEOUS trifes and superhuities,
where everything appears relative and
nothing absolute. where an things are
ia motion. though in motion toward
no ascertainable goal and where there
may possibly be a vaguely defined cir
cumference to life. but where there Is
no stable recognized moral center upon
which an interests Of existence pivot.
The factors which contribute to this
mental unsettlement and bewilderment
are found ia all spheres. mechanical,
commercial, social. political ethical
ana metaphysical AS a result OF the
progress Of invention and the Increase
OF material prosperity, American socie-
tv has been surfeited with things rath-
er than surcharged with the essence OF
life ITSELF and even thought has IN
many instances raised more perplexi-
ties than It has solved The human
species meanwhile is multiplying, and
despite an the raFages Of disease and
alI accidental distinctions steadily
grows by a huge net increase. Life
thus becomes fairly overpowering for
those who are to live unless there is to
be found somewhere a unifylng force
and an informing spirit which will re-
duee the multimdinous and importun
ate factors to a common denominator
or afford the pivot about which an the
circlings Of human activity shall re-
rolve This unity In diversity can be
satisfactorily afforded only in the con-
sciously religious life OF the personal
soul which Is sure both Of itself and Of
the God who made an other personal
ties and powers. The soul that comes
into direct relations with the Christ Of
God comes into correct relations with
every other interest in life. The man
who pravs: Unite my heart 70 fear
Thy name. is at once lifted TO a plane
Of superiority 20 the uhirling multipli-
cities of a lot full Of cares and ankle
ties Such a man dnds the life that is
above life. From that viewpoint the
world appears not as a perishing chaos
but as an arriving cosmos. The clue to
lie has been found. and the clue is re-
rrions. The Christian. then may be
defined as a man who finds the unity
amid the diversities Of life. and who
discovers that co-ordinating principle
IS the person and power Of Jesus, the
San OF God. Amid the multitude Of
fdess. images. representations. phenom-
era and personalities that appear upon
nfss arenas the central figure IS
Christ. While mnltitudes OF these sp-
bearlne historic factors are evil and
rspeilent. He is above reproach and
free from the slightest touch Of faint
Of human infrmity. and where many
others are admirables and attractive
lie IS the chiefest among ten thousand
and the one altogether lovely.
