 In the La Fortuna" and "Pe- iiasco" the company undoubtedly have two excellent properties with unlimited quantities of ore in sight. In the main shaft of the Pefiasco, where the store and build ings of the Co., are located, water was struck a couple of days before our arrival, and the entire popula- tion of the camp were celebrating the event. Water had been hauled before in barrels from ranch some distance away, andit was consider ed too precious to waste in washing clothes or to take a bath But now clean shirts and socks were to be seen hanging on all the bushes about the camp to dry, and women were busy filling their ollas and tubs with the precious fluid.
 The water is raised from the shaft by a whim, but a constant bailing has failed to exhaust the water The night of our arrival in camp the whim horse struck and refused to work. By morning the

water had risen to depth of feet in the shaft. So it is certain the supply will be sufficient for the camp for all purposes.
 Joe. Thompson and Schuyler Case of Nogales are there building big dam across the canon to inn pound the water from the rains. This job will keep the contractors and force of men busy for many weeks, and large force of men are kept constantly at work in both the Fortuna and the Pefasco taking out ore. The machinery for the big Vulcan Shelter ordered by the Co.,, will begin to arrive early in February, and from now on the camp will be a lively one.
 Wednesday Messrs O'Keefe, Sax hang Secretary of the Co., Shea and the writer drove to Altar, the county seat of the District, about 32 miles from the mines, to trans act some business.

the character of the country and was inordinately slow. The quali- tications of a good Mexican driver here are stout pair of lungs and good whip arm.n Now, no one pair of lungs nor single arm in our party could stand the strain, so we took turns about doing the driving act until the old pueblo was reach ed, which was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Here the writer left his friends to transact their business, and obtaining another team drove to Oquitoa, 6 miles east, to survey and set the monu- ments on the Nina Oquitoa" and "El Canelefio," two properties in which he is interested. Arriving at Oquitoa, he was received with open arms by the entire population, among whom he had lived a number of years in the '90s, working the Oquitoa stamp mill.
 One leading trait of the Mexican people is their open-hearted hos pitality. They will share their last "tortilla" with a friend or

stranger in need. Five minutes after our arrival. we were met by our old friend Bonifacio Federico, who had been left in charge of the mill property. He led us to his home, threw wide open the doors, and calling his wife, said: "Wife here is Don Eduardo; we receive him as a son. During his stay our house, our table, our bed, all that we have is his. Command usw And our stay of three days with Don Bonifacio and his good family was made very pleasant indeed. So much for their hospitality.
 Thursday we obtained a team and drove out to "El Caneleno," a distance of Is miles to the east. This is an immense blanket ledge of copper ore lying almost flat on the surface of the ground, from 6 to 8 feet thick and covering 5 pertenencias (500 square meters. ] The average of the blanket gives : to S9t copper, with some silver and gold, and is very easily worked.

tant.
 Our return trip to Oquitoa was enlivened by q couple of incidents. At the rancho de La Nina Guarda' we stopped for lunch about dusk. They have quite number of chick ems here and the fowls roost in coop made of bamboo sticks and hung on poles in a tree to be out of reach of the coyotes. The coop here was about 10 feet from the ground. During lunch 12-year old boy was keeping busy driving the chickens out of the house and housing them in the coop. He would drive them into a corner, bounce down on them, catch them by the legs, and going out to the tree would dexterously fire" them from the ground through an open ing. in the side of the coop a foot square. One young rooster missed the opening and clambered up on top of.the coop, where he Tapped his wings and crowed in defiant manner. The boy shinned up the tree to get him and grasped one of

the poles supporting the coop. The fastenings gave way and down came the boy and one end of the coop. The boy struck the ground on his back, and before he could jump up he was covered with 8 shower of startled chickens and there was great confusion for the space of several minutes.
 A few miles further on we eros sed the deep bed of a dry arroyo. Against the further bank was a heavy freight wagon loaded with wood. It had evidently been drawn by two horses, and the team being stuck on the up grade, the driver had unhitched them and leaving his wagon where it stuck had gone on in search of another team to help him out. As the bank could not be climbed on either side we had to jump out (there were 8 of us, unloaded part of the wood, and back the wagon out of the way before we could proceed We didn't take the trouble to load on the wood again.

MANANA LAND.
An Interesting Account of Trip
 Into Sonora.

Saturday, the llth, the writer accompanied party of mining men to the Altar District of Sonora, on a tour of inspection of a num- Der of mines that have been attrac- ting considerable attention in the mining world of late The party consisted of Con O'Keefe, president of the Fortuna Mining Co.,, with Mrs. O'Keefe and the ch ldren Dan. Shea and Dr. G. K. Sing stockholders in the same Co, and two American miners who were going down to work in the mines.
 Before leaving Nogales MT. O'Keefe telegraphed to his agent at Magdalena to have two carriages ready to convey the party to the mines, about 5 miles distant to the west, and a heavy spring wagon to carry the baggage and freight. We took the 10 ?. m. train, which brought us into Magdalena at mid night. The party secured accom- madations at the Hotel Aleman with mein host Heinecke, who did all he could to make us feel com fortable After few hours sleep and hearty breakfast the party prepared for an early start, but at $ c'clock no carriages had made their appearance, so we started out to hunt up the agent. After some trouble he was located rousted out of bed and hustled out after the teams. More or less "cussing" was indulged in by different members of the party at the snail-like pace of everything done in this country, and finally at 10 o'clock the first carriage drove up to the hotel. The president and family and Dr. Sing embarked in this carriage and a liatle later they were off after hav- ing bidden the rest of the party an affectionate farewell
 The balance of us soon scattered out on still hunt for the other conveyances, and two hours later had them rounded up, loaded, and started out on the presidents trail. One of our party had a fiageolet and a harmonica, and with music, singing, and storytelling the time passed by rather rapidly for this country. About ? o'clock we had a lunch of bread and bottled beer, and at 6 stopped at Mexican ranch where we found substantial supper left for us by Mrs. O'Keefe. The Mexican woman at the ranch made us some hot coffee, for which she charged us the modest sum of one dollar.
 Darkness came on soon after we took the road again, and the in- telligent Mexican driver, who "knew every foot of it," lost the road time and again, and all hands had to get out and look for it with lanterns. One time the carriage drove squarely into big stump, throwing all the occupants into a heap and the driver over the dash board. But with various little mishaps of this character to worry the monotony of the trip, we final ly about 3 o'clock in the morning reached Tubutama, where we found the advance guard of the party awaiting us, and after few hours rest concluded the trip to the mines

Reception to Veterans and Nurses a
Pleasant Feature

Old acquaintance formed in the field hos
pitfalls were renewed this morning at Mother
Bickerdyke tent, where several war nurses
opened the doors of the apartment for re-
ception to veterans and nurses. There was
nothing formal about the affair, which was
not of the nature of an ordinary function,
but was intended simply to afford an OPP
portunity for meeting between the women
who labored among the sick and wounded
and those who had been the benefciares of
their work. The nurses will continue to re-
ceive this evening and tomorrow as we'll
In addition to entertaining, the members of
the receiving party have afforded resting
places and numerous comforts for the
weary. Among those in the party at the
tent Mrs. Emma Southwick Brinton,
Mrs. Annie Etheridge, who followed the
9th Michigan in its course through the war;
Miss Burghart who Is remembered by
many of the eX-prisoners OF as the
nurse who mnist cred to them after the dis

The Washington Society of Army Nurses
was founded in 1881, after Mrs. Dority Dix
had organized the general society under
the patronage of Mrs. Garfield, widow of
the former President. 1t was through the
efforts of this society that pensions for
nurses were made possible. and a lot was
secured in Arlington for the burial there of
civil war nurses.
