An Experience With Wells.

MT. k. D. George, who has sunk
 a new well upon his place just
 north of town, reports an experi-
 ence that he thinks will be of value
 to others in sinking wells in the
 Santa Cruz valley. His first well,
 which had caved, was dug well,
 lined with redwood. The water
 working through the lining into the
 well was filtered by the wood, and the sediment gathered npon the outside of the redwood lining, gra- dually accommodating an ever thickening coating of sediment which diminished the flow of water, slowly but constantly decreasing its capacity. The new well was sunk by driving down a six inch perforated iron well casing, and drawing out the earth with sand pump. When the casing had reached the required depth and was thoroughly cleaned the irriga- tion pump was attached and worked as was needed. In drawing water in that way the sediment readily flowed with the water through the perforations, and did not accum- mulate upon the outside of the pipe. As a consequence all the sediment for long distance around the well has been sucked out, leav- ing the gravel bed perfectly clean, permitting a much freer circulation of water and increasing greatly the flow and capacity of the we'll Mir. George thinks his experience is one by which others having to sink wells for irrigation may profit, and he cheerfully comments the idea to everyone.

Big Mining Deal Recently consum-

mated.

A big mining deal was closed in Tucson on last Saturday. The Con- solidated National Bank executed the transfer of the property.
 Frank Olsen of this city went down to Sonora about two weeks ago, to examine some property for the Westinghouse Electric company He was so well pleased with the mineral indications that he took on option on the property at once. The company has implicit faith in Olsen as an expert and assumed the op- tion on the property. The parties asked $175,000 for the claims, but Olsen managed to secure tha pro- perty for $125,000.
 There were five parties interes- ted in the deal. Among them was William NJ. Hoey of Nogales. The Westinghouse company paid $25,- 900 down on the deal, and have agreed to pay the remaining $100, GOO in one years time Each party in the deal will therefore receive $25,000 as his share.
 A number of the so-called experts around town were inclined to be little incredulous. But Frank Olsen disposed of their doubts by exhibi- ting a check for $20,00O as his com mission from the company. This is not the first success which Olsen has achieved in the mining field. He has had remarkable success in exporting properties.
 The Westinghouse people are steadily acquiring q nomber of good copper properties. It is not many months ago sine they bought the Washington Camp on 0lsen's reco- mendation. They are among the

MT. Henry Gates, whose visit was mentioned last week, lost while here a very handsome presentation watch charm, given him in Bisbee. He had some hand bills printed at THE OASIS office, offering reward of $5 for the return of the jewel. While he was posting the notices about town a Mexican came up to Mir. Gates, and pointing to the bill carefully lined it from the very first line to the one offering the re- ward. Giving Mir. Gates mean ing look, the man stopped at the five dollars and awaited reply. Quickly Mir. Gates said "Si," and the jewel was produced from one of the mans pockets The five dol lars were paid, MT. Gates received his watch charm, and both parties to the transaction went their re- spective ways rejoicing.

United States Assay Office.

Messrs. A. l.. Pellegrin x Co,
 United States assayers, are com mencing the work of remodelling the building they occupy, which, when completed will be one of the most elegant offices in the South west. A handsome plate glass front, supported by stone pillars, will be put in, and the interior will be conveniently arranged and sup piled with elegant and perfect ap- pointments. About the first O i June MT. Herrera will go to Cali fornia to purchase the counters, shelving, etc. The floor of the in- terior will be raised above the pavement so the visitor in enter ing will surmount two stone steps. Then he will be in vestibule with a tiled pavement. Passing from the vestibule the main office will be entered, which will be very attractive room, with an elegant mahogany counter and fine office furniture. Beyond will be the assay room, furnace room, etc. One room with desks, stationery, etc., will be devoted to the use of visit ing mining men, where they will have all the conyeniences of private office. Every means will be employed to make the United States assay office in Nogales an ornament to the town.
 Beside the business of the assay office the front room will be de- voted to use as money and bro kerage business. Mir. Herrera has arranged for the investment of all the capital necessary to make the business of the office one of colossal magnitude, and it is his intention to make it one of the leading finan- cial concerns in the Southwest. It will be a decided factor in the pro- gress of q great and growing region.
