would exceed fifty millions of dol lars in value.
 Beside the properties above men, tioned, there are included in the company's holdings many other valuable properties, including the Tajos group, the Tayapa mine, the Yerba Buena group, Los Ostimuris group, Descomulgada group and the Colorado de Casita.
 All these properties are "anti- guas," and in every direction there are extensive evidences of their having been once worked upon tremendous scale.
 In 1859 there was published by Harper Brothers, in New York, scientific description or report upon these properties, by Mir. Robert l.. D'Aumaile, who was then the official assayer of the State of Sonora, which is very interesting reading, and as such will eventually find a place in the columns of THE OASIS.
 Last year Mir. T. k. Parish, the eminent mining engineer, visited the properties and made a report thereon, setting forth in high terms the vast amount of mineral wealth there exposed. MT. Farish's report will also be given space in THE OASIS at a later date.
 These properties were secured by Mr. George Beebe. who presented them to the attention of the gentle men named at the outset of this article. The following, taken from the Arizona Democrat of last Satur- day, will be of interest in this con nection:
 ''Mr. George Beebe, of Yerba Buena, Sonora, Mexico, arrived in the city yesterday to consult with Dr. Ford, Col. Christy and Hon. T. E. Parish, with whom he is inter ested in the Cieneguita Copper Company, and of which MT. Beebe is the manager. A future sale of some of this company's stock and q consultation regarding develop ment work now in progress at the mines is the object of MT. Beebe's visit.
 "I have owned these mines for three years said Mir. Beebe. I spent year in thorough investiga- tion of the property, and am satis- fled that they are the largest and richest mineral deposits in the world. Judge Barnes, Dr, Ford, Col. Christy and Tom Parish are associated with me in the property. We have capitalized them and are arranging to put them in active operation.'"

A Range Reserve.

The Santa Cruz valley is to be reserved by the government and placed under commission to be governed in the same manner IS the forest reserves, says the Citizen. This is part of a great experiment being conducted by the department of agriculture, and the Santa Cruz valley reserve will be the first of its kind to be established in the United States. The valley is to he reserved in order to restock 1t with the native grasses and to regulate the number of cattle that will he permitted to graze on the land. This reservation will not exclude homestead or mineral entry. but will merely place the land under supervision of a government com mission.

CIENEGUITA COPPER co.
The Big Mines in the Sahuaripa Dis trict of Sonora Taken Over By Phoenix and Tucson
 People.

Last year Tn January, allu dt various times since, THE OASIS made mention of the big copper mines near Matarachi, in the Sahuarlpa district, which had been acquired by Dr. J. NJ. Ford and Col. Vim. Christy of Phoenix, Judge Wm. Ii. Barnes, of Tucson, Mir. George Beebe, of Hermosillo, and their associates.
 For the exploitation, proper dew elopment and operation of the properties mentioned, the gentle men named have organized, under the laws of Arizona, the Cieneguita Copper Company, and under the laws of Mexico, La Compaiiia Mi nera de la Cieneguita The first named company owns all the shares of stock in the Mexican company, and the latter named corporation holds in fee simple and by contract to purchase, all the property in Mexico included in the possessions of the corporation, which are as fol lows:
 The Rancho de la Cieneguita, of about 3,200 acres of land-about five square miles-and an individ- ed interest in the Rancho Iglesia, an area including about 360 square miles of land, nearly all of which is heavily timbered, affording mex haustible supplies of timber for all purposes.
 The mines of the company are located in this great area, and in- clude the Chipiona group, compris- ing the Chipiona, Colorado and Plomosa mines; containing an area of twenty-four pertenencias; and the Tajos group, Los Ostimuris group, the Yerba Buena group, the Descomulgada group, the Prieto group, and the Colorado de Casita. Outside of the Chipiona group the area of these various groups aggre- gates sixty-four pertenencias (more than 160 acres of land), and in ad- dition thereto there have been located one thousand pertenencias to protect and connect the various groups on the lodges of ore which they occupy. Thus the company owns some 5000 acres of mining ground, under the laws of the Republic governing the tenure of mines.
 The extent of the antigua" workings upon the surface, the numerous tunnels and drifts, the larger dumps and slag piles, the ruins of ancient dwellings and smelting furnaces indicate that at one time the Real de Cieneguita was a region of wonderful activity The suspension of that activity and abandonment of the mines was doubtless due to the change in the character of the ores from those near the surface, which were easily worked with the crude appliances of those early times, to base ores impossible of reduction. There re- mained nothing to do but cessation of work after they had uncovered and exposed thousands of tons of sulphide ores, rich in copper, gold and silver; but it was beyond their skill to extract their values. It is evident that while they worked the oxidized portions of the vein, that

PHILADELPHIA'S OLD MINT
Plans for the Preservation of the
Classic and Historic Structure.

Classic and Historic Structure.
- ,.~> Philadelphia Ledger.
Respecting The Rroposed sale of the old
United States mint, the Record depre
Gates the sentiment that would make
merchandise "a classic and historic
structure, and 1t prefers that the edifice
shall be restored to it's original aspect
and permanently preserved as a landmark.
The Ledger concurs in these views. It is
true that when congress was prevailed
upon to appropriate for new mint build
ing there was an understanding that the
Chestnut street site should be sold to
recoup the treasury for the expense of
the new institution. Without such an I'M
derstanding, it is doubtful whether con-
gress would have made the appropria-
ton, as there existed considerable jeal-
ousy against Philadelphia. Under pres
ent conditions, however, it is possible to
withdraw the old mint from sale, and
yet maintain the spirit of the understand
ing respecting the compensation to the
treasury for the expense of the new mint.
The fact is that both the custom house
and postofice buildings are inadequate
for the purposes to which they are now
put. In particular, the capacity of the
postofhce building is overtaxed by the va
rious governmental departments that oc-
cupy it's chambers. It will be necessary
for congress in the near future to acquire
additional room, perhaps to rebuild e1
tensively on the custom house site, unless
the old mint structure be retained and
used as quarters for such agencies as the
pension Office, the internal revenue Office
or the like. 1t would be good policy to
transform the old mint building into it's
former self by the removal of the archi-
tectural botches that distigure it, and
maintain it forever, not merely as an
ornament, but as the habitation of gov
eminent agencies now huddled together
elsewhere. .a

Al CUTS ANSWER
To the Question, ssShould Railroad
Men Be College Men7'
An Article in the Saturday Evening
Post Containing MIR. Cults
Statement. ..,-

'Should Railroad Men Be College
Menu" is the title of an interesting con-
tribution to the latest edition of the Sat-
urday Evening Post by Charles F. Thwing,
president Of Western Reserve university
and Adelbert college, Cleveland, Ohio,
formerly pastor of Plymouth Congrega-
tional church, Minneapolis. In consider
ing this subject from all standpoints, Mr..
Thwing interviewed railroad officials
throughout the country, among them A..
B. Cults Of Minneapolis, general passen-
ger agent of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
road. Mr.. Thwing, in commenting upon
Mr.. Cults views, says that the latter's
summing up. of the advantages and disad-
vantages Of a college education in rail-
road work sis very we'll made" Mr.. Cults
is quoted as follows: s.~- Ill.,.
At the present time civil service rules are
so generally observed, except perhaps in the
professional branches of railroad service,
such as the legal, medical and engineering
departments, that it is usually quite difficult
for young man to get an opening except in
the lowest grades; consequently the boy who
begins with high school education at say,
IT, will, by the time he is 20, be much further
advanced than the young man Of % who en-
tered on leaving college at 81; and if we
allow that they are of equal mental and bust
ness capacity the boy who started at II will
always remain in advance Hence it seems
fair to conclude that the four years between
II and 81 will prove to have been more profit
ably spent in gaining experience In the rudi-
ments Of the business than at college. The
men who have made the greatest successes
in the railroad field have generally been
men without much schooling, but with great
capacity for the absorption Of knowledge
tireless workers, men who would make them
selves felt anywhere, not born into the rail-
road business, but, getting there by chance,
men who have improved every opportunity
and overcome every obstacle, rising by sheer
force of ability to point where they attract
the notice of the management and then later
of the capitalists, who are always in search
of tried men in whom to repose confidence and
responsibility. After all, it is the man and
not the years spent at school that tells and
perhaps in the class referred to the struggle
Of obtaining an education by reading and by
observation while performing their daily work
is just the kind Of exercise best calculated to
develop the remarkable characteristics which
they bear.

THE BROTHERHOODS
Pretense That Railway Employees
Favor the Merger.

Pretense That Railway Employees
Favor the Merger.
Building, Harrington.
Washington, Jan. ia queer explana-
ton is being offered to-day of what took
place at the presidents lunch and con-
ference recently with heads Of railway
brotherhoods. In yesterdays u IN
it was explained that the purpose was that
the brotherhoods might lay before the
president the views Of railway labor on
the northwestern merger, and it was add
ed that the brotherhoods regarded the
merger with suspicion and generally op-
posed 1t. ....
Several we'll known northwestern men
now in Washington, are now claiming that
the brotherhood leaders came to Wash
ington to tell the president that they
strongly favor the merger and urge him
to do what he could to advance its inter-
ests. The engineers, 1remen and conduc-
tors have been for years the favored
classes of railway employees. Those who
now incline to the opinion that these
classes are favorable to the merger, think
statements have been made to them by
James ]. Hill and others to the effect that
their wages will be raised as result Of
increased earnings which the merger will
make possible.
The visit of Samuel Hill to the presi-
dent yesterday is offered as collateral
evidence Of the fact that the Northern
Securities company knew what the rail-
way employees were doing. So far there
is absolutely nothing in support of this
theory. 1t is difficult to believe that the
railway managers would undertake to use
organized labor to influence the president
in support of their scheme or that labor
would consent to be so used. It is still
unofhcially understood that the brother
hood leaders told the president frankly
that they We're not in sympathy with
railway combinations and did not indorsa
the northwestern merger.
