The Property Of the yaQul Copper Company Beyond the ydQul River
 in Sonora.
IMMENSE DEPOSITS OF HIGH GRADE
 COPPER ORES.
Region Hitherto Almost Unknown, Which Will Soon Become the Seat of Great Metal Producing in- dustry Which Will Rival the
 Output of All Other
 Mining Camps,

Recently TIE OASIS editor devo- ted an extended time to thorough investigation and studyo the great copper properties beyond the Ya- qui river, now owned and operated by the Yaqui Copper Company, of which Mir. w. c. Greene, the mil lionaire mining operator of world wide fame, in connection with his wonderful success in the develop ment and exploitation of the great mines at La Cananea, is president, and Colonel Willis F. Harlow, of Nogales, is vice president and gen. eral manager; and this article is to be devoted to clear and accurate description of what is there to be seen, and the wonderful possibil- ities ot the great enterprise the two gentlemen named have succeeded in establishing.
 Mahy months before visiting Campo Santo Nifio, which is the name of the new camp springing into existence beyond the Yaqui, THE OASIS editor had received many reliable reports from various com potent gentlemen as to the extent and richness of the immense depo- sits of copper, and he went over there prepared to find something of wonderful extent and magni- tnde, yet determined to give Q con servative and cold -blooded descrip- tion. But after a careful survey of the entire field and study of it's tremendous possibilities, the declaration is now made that to one with full knowledge of the situa- tion, the widest imaginings of those who formerly appeared ex- travagant in their assertions now seem the utmost conservatism. Never before anywhere else in the world has there been made sur face showing so immense and tremendous. Exposed to the air are vast bodies of copper ores of high grade, which were they only a foot in depth would yield millions of tons of ore which would pay handsomely to treat upon an ex tensive scale, and wherever they have been penetrated by the num- erous workings now open, they are found to extend to great depths, and increasing in richness as the wonderfully rich surface showings are left behind. Some of the most | noted mining experts in the world | have visited these properties and | they have invariably returned ! thoroughly enthused at the surface showings. One of the gentlemen to whom this allusion is made, places an estimate thatno less than five millions of tons of ore, carrying one-half millions tons of metallic copper are in sight in these surface

LOCATION AND RAILWAYS.


 The properties are situated on both sides of the dividing line be- tween the Ures and Sahuaripa dis tricts in Sonora, and by the short est and most direct route, over which good road is now in course of construction, they are only sixty three miles directly east from the terminus of the Torres & Minas Prietas Railroad, which effects a junction with the Sonora Railway at Torres station. When the new thoroughfare is completed it will be possible to reach Campo Santo Nino in days ride. To the north ward La Cananea is only one hun- dred and sixty miles distant. A railway crosses the international boundary at Naco, and is now run ming to La Cananea. From the latter named place this line of rail way will be soon extended south ward and will come to the Yaqui and down that river to the gulf, passing in it's course the smelter site of the Yaqui Copper Company,

or the CnOncaca m0untaln thence east to the summit of the mountain aforesaid, the starting point; com prising in itself vast principality whose richness has not as yet been explored
 An abundant growth of oak tim Der of great dimensions gives an unlimited supply of wood for min ing purposes, and on the lower hills between the summit and the river there is an immense growth of mezquite and iron wood which will supply ample fuel for long time to come.
 Another valuable asset of the company is an exclusive concession for the diversion and use of the waters of the Yaqui river, said con- cession extending up from the smelter site, following the course of the river for twenty-five miles; and as the river in it's lowest stage carries at least 100000 miners inches of water, with the hundreds of feet of fall that is obtainable, power can be generated to run all the machinery necessary for a re- duction plant of almost any magni- tude.
 Upon the mining lands of the company there are many flowing springs which supply an abund- ance of water the year round, and although some of them are so strongly impregnated with copper that they are unfit for domestic purposes, still there is sufficient water for necessary uses.
 TITLES PERFECT.
 Through the mineral lands in- cluded in the titles of the company, all held direct from the Republic of Mexico, bearing the official sigma ture of Don Porfrio Diaz and the great seal of the Republic, there run two immense lodges or deposits of copper ore, one nearly three miles in length and the other about two and half miles. These two lodges each vary in width from 40 to 600 feet, one running in north westerly and southeasterly direc- tion, which is known as the Buena Vista ledge; the other running from southwest to northeast, and is called the Creston de Cobre ledge, crossing each other at an acute angle forminga colossal cap ital X, written by the hand of God upon the crests of two lofty noun tain ridges, overlooking the great river whose sinuous windings may be traced for miles, both above and below the camp, distant about three miles and forty-six hundred feet below The frst-named ledge dips slightly to the east, running under the lime cap. The second dips to the southeast, running under the lime and iron capping at an angle o1 about tmrty-tlve degrees. The footwalls of both are porphyry, and the hanging walls lime and iron. In places the iron capping and hanging wall have slid away, ex- posing to view immense cliffs which are solid masses of copper oxide, sulphide and carbonate ores. In many places they run from twenty per cent upward in copper values, and in no place do they run less than ten per cent. Right upon the surface appear great masses of bornite, high grade sulphide of copper. Bornite at the surface is a pronounced rarity in copper min- ing, and it is usually encountered

"A MIDDAY MESSAGE, :"
DIR. HENRY BAKER DELIVERED
 IMPRESSIVE SERMON.

Large Congregation Present aG First
 Methodist ChuEch-Youih and Old
 Age Compared With the Life Of Middle
 Age-PEatse Service Last Evening.
 A sermon of special interest to those persons who are now in the middle of life, was delivered by Rev. Dr. Henry Baker, in the First Methodist church yesterday morning. The pastor took for his subject "A Midday Message. g The congregation was large and the sermon was one of great scholarly merit Dr. Baker began his sermon with a description of the enthusiasm of youth, the hopes of those in youthful years and stated that youth stands like another Alexander. It possesses a hope beyond expression and yet this hope is easily captured by clouds of darkness and finally swept away perhaps never to return. The pastor then spoke of . the experiences of old age and told of the fair hopes that had been blasted, of visions that had had ceased to exist. The old age that trusts ic the promises of heaven, was alluded to as having no equal.
 In speaking of the man in the midst of life Dr. Baker found an entirely diff ferent condition than that existing in either of the other two. The man of middle years does not build bright hopes so characteristic in the youth He never looks backward like the man old in years. He deals with the things of to-day and plans and builds upon con- servative and methodical lines His words are set with precision of power and his deeds are carried out in ac- cordance herewith. There is no diver sion, no swerving from the right and, if he is true to these principles, he will go through the midst of life successful ly and will be worthy of all true and noble enterprises.
 To the man in middle years, the devo- tional posture is the ideal way of look ing at life. The man fails utterly who fails to recognize the inward nature. A man must consider the ground upon which he walks and also the skies above him, with all their meaning. When a man with a sincere realization comes to this position he is at the real point of true power. Man is so apt to be intiu- enced by secondary forces that he for gets the primary power. Such condi- ton seems to obscure God from view. Reverence which was the joy of the Old Testament, seems to have become almost lost art in the present day. Midday in a mans life may be likened to noon day Such man ought to ask 70 Lord, revive my own beliefs" Then will man com back to the charm and devoutness of those old beliefs that once stared at and thrilled us. What a man in middle life wants is not only the old beliefs, but also quick responsive ness to the ideals of the true Christian life
 Last evening at the chuch a praise service was conducted.

SUNDAY AT YALE.

President Hadley Addressed Two Large
 Audiences.
 President Hadley spoke at both the Sunday morning and Yale Y. M. C. A. services yesterday. In the morning President Hadley delivered a sermon of special interest, conveying the impress sion that a vast amount of good could be done indirectly by believers in the Christian faith. Many incidents of the good accomplished in this manner were given and the students were urged to live lives of Christian usefulness and earnestness.
 The Y. M. c. A. service was largely attended and President Hadley spoke feelingly to those present
