LUCKY MARK JULY.
Santa Cruz County s Successful Miner.

Mark Lully has leased and fitted
 up the Moreno mansion on Sonoita
 Avenue, and will make the place
 his home and office. The house is
 a handsome stone structure with five large rooms, four of which he
 has fitted up as residence quarters,
 including sitting room, bed room,
 dining room, kitchen and bath
 room. The principal room has
 been fitted up as an office, wherein
 Mir. Lully will transact his exten-
 sive and growing mining business.
 Having retired from the Monte
 Carlo, Mr. Lully will now devote his unrestricted attention to the development and exploitation of mining properties, in which busi- ness he has enjoyed very exten- sive and successful experience, ex- tending over many years. In 1875 Mir. Lully and associates organized the Tyndall district in the Santa Rita mountains, in which he located the Goldtree mine, the Apache Chief group, the Wandering Jew, the Columbia, the Victor mines and others. The Goldtree property was his first sale, in 1881, to Sergeant & Mofflt, of Joplin, Mo, for $20, 900 cash That mine has now shaft 400 feet deep, with more than 1 ,000 feet of drifts, and over 100,- 900 tons of high grade ores upon the dumps. The Apache Chief group he sold to the Santa Rita Co. (Tilden R. French and associates of Cincinnati, Ohio). The Victor mines-Nos. 1 and 2- Mir. Lully sold for cash to.Colorado who organized the Pata- gonia Mining Co.,, which took over the properties and are operating them The Wandering Jew and Columbia Mr. Luliey has bonded to Mir. Allen T.

THE printers in the office of the Border Vidette say that now that office has got the county printing, they will have a raise in wages. This move on the part of the Vid- ette Is very commendable.

A MATTER OF COURSE.

Last Saturday the Border Gig
 arette amused itself and the bus
 iness public of Nogales by present.
 ing the respective bids of the Gig
 arctic and TIE OASIS upon the
 county printing, and it endeavor-
 ed to make some sort of capital
 upon the fact that its own bid was
 much lower than that of THE OASIS.
 The Border Cigarette is welcome to
 all the capital it can possibly make out of this matter and all the satis- faction in can get. To the county THE OASIS quoted the same prices 1t charges its patrons. There is now no reason why it should offer the county prices lower than its regular commercial rates.
 That the prices of THE OASIS are and always have been higher than those of the Vidette is q patent and unconcealed fact. The sub scription price of THE OASIS is $2.50 per annum. That of the Vidette is but s200 per annum. Yet with that difference in price THE OASIS has more than double the number of subscribers in the town than has the Vidette, And upon the outside TIE OASIS cir culates four or five times as many papers as does the Vidette. At the post office THE OASIS pays each week postage upon seventy-fve pounds of papers: the Vidette pays upon not to exceed twenty pounds. Beside that THE OASIS pays for sending large quantity of papers by express to subscribers each week: the Vidette sends none by express.
 Then upon advertising there is wide difference in the prices paid THE OASIS and the Vidette by the business public. There is not business man in Nogales who does not pay THE OASIS double or treble what they pay the Vidette for the same space One of the most prom inent business men of Nogales l recently declared that the business ! men of the town had discussed the ! matter time and again and were ! agreed that TIE OASIS is worth to any business man, to the town and to the county just double what the Vidette is worth, and they will lingly pay great deal more for space in its columns.
 Now there are valid reasons for this distinction in the prices so paid by the business public. One is the wide difference in circulation, as set forth herein before. Another is the much great sr amount of readable matter of local interest in the columns of HE OASIS each week. And a third reason is the much more attractive of THE OASIS. The Vii lette always looks as if 1t was printed on a clothes wringer. TIE OASIS is elegantly printed and handsomely illustrated. And its
The oasis., 1902-02-08

engravings are printed so they
 look finely. Take simply the DOT
 traits and scenic views in THE
 OASIS each week and contrast with
 them such little work in that line
 as the Vidette has attempted.
 Upon the fourteenth of December
 the Border Vidette printed a DOT
 trait of Mir. C. E. Perkins. The
 gentleman looks therein as if af- flicted with the small pox. Upon
 the some date THE OASIS published
 like portrait of Mir. Eugene
 Biddeson. It was elegantly and
 handsomely printed, comparing
 favorably with the photograph
 from which 1t was reproduced. The same engraving first appeared in the columns of the Vidette, and it made simply big square splotch of black ink, in which there were discernible few unrecognizable lines. From THE OASIS press it came out as handsomely as in the engraver's proof. The same can be said of a portrait of Captain L. W. Mix, the same engraving having been used in both instances.
 The foregoing statements explain completely why THE OASIS charges and receives higher prices for sub- scriptions and advertisements than does the Vidette. For the com pleteness and finish of the service the prices of THE OASIS are cheap. By the same criterion those of the Vidette are exorbitant.
 The same rule holds in job print ing. THE OASIS turns out the very best of work and gets the bus mess, commands high prices; the | Vidette turns out botch job work ! and the prices are dear for that kind of work
 Ben Harrison once said that "a 'heap coat always covers cheap man." The same can be said of [ printing Cheap men cannot pro- luce good printing, and cheap print shops are always rat" shops md cannot produce good work. THE OASIS Is not rat shop.
 Some day the county of Santa Cruz will awake to the fact that rat" establishments are no credit e the community. and then the ,ounty printing will come to THE OASIS at its own prices.
 In conclusion, TIE OASIS will tate that while this office has al- ways been in the van it has by no means reached the end of it's i'm Many additions to he plant and machinery are con- that will keep the office nd plant ever to the front. As oon as there come about certain onditions that will give power in logales, an electric motor will be ut in to run the presses of the establishment, and linotype ma hine will be added to the plant 'ther presses will be added as eeded, and a frst-class ruling lachine. When the Cigarette gets
 plant like TIE OASIS, it will do ood work, and can then command pod prices.

can secure work elsewhere.
The employees of the shops were noti-
fled Monday that until further notice
the working day would consist OF but
eight hours, instead of nine, the usuai
winter day. This would reduce the pay
of all. as the men receive so much per
hour. While as yet but four machln-
lists and two helpers have quit, men IN
the shops say that others will take
similar action. The machinists claim
that this move on the part of the COM
many will make a difference of about

to do so.
1t is not known why the action was
taken, altho the company, at this sea-
son of the year. usually reduces the day
to eight or nine hours. Last winter the
day was cut down to nine hours. 1t IS
partly due, it is thought, to the lack OF

Rain Causes Soft Track.

It is rather an unusual condition of
affairs when rain will cause soft track
to railroads in the dead of winter, but
such is the case on the eastern and Illi-
nois divisions of the Iowa Central.
While 1t was showing hard here Mon
day it was raining equally as hard on
the eastern end of the line. General
Roadmaster Shelley, who was over the
east end Monday, says that he didn't
see a more severe rainstorm all last
summer than the downpour of Monday
forenoon that extended all the way
from the Mississippi river to Peoria,
On top of six inches of snow already on
the ground the condition Of affairs may
well be imagined.
To the dirt track on the eastern and
Illinois divisions the softest kind of a
track may be expected for few days,
or until the water drains off, or cold
weather, with. hard freeze, sets in.
Snow fell over the entire line west
and north of Keithsburg.
