Abou. to Commence Operations.

ration whose creation was noted Tn these columns few weeks ago-El Porvenir de Sonora--is rapidly ar ranging its affairs, and will soon begin operations with ample capital to develop its handsome properties upon very extensive scale.
 Monday of last week THE OASIS man visited the properties of this company, at La Calera, in the municipality of Caborca, in the AL tar district of Sonora, and was very favorably impressed with their ap- pearance. They include the exten- sions of La Calera mine, an dntig,td property of rare merit, which Is now in course of development by a strong company, making a good showing. antigua workings show extensively upon the surface all along the lodges, and it is very evi- dent that their former owners, in years long passed, extracted great quantities of valuable ores. Like other mines in Sonora, they were abandoned when depths were reached at which extraction of ore and its reduction ceased to be pro ftable. With the primitive pro- cesses then in operation that depth was never very profound. Modern machinery and methods of ore re- duction have enabled the profitable working of mines to the depth of thousands of feet which were aban- doned by the anfiguos ere they had descended couple of hundred. That is the situation at La Calera. The antiquos worked the great ledge to a depth where it ceased to be profitable, and then abandoned the property and permitted the title to revert to the Mexican govern ment. Now the properties have passed into the possession of mod ern enterprise, which will employ machinery of the latest improved patterns and methods the most modern to follow the ore bodies to such depths as the antsgaos never hoped to penetrate, and profitably extract and reduce the ores.
 Those parts of the ledge included in the holdings of the Porvenir de Sonora are very valuable, and with the work projected will develop into very fine properties. The for nation is lime, and the great ledge is traced through the mountain for a long distance, strong and well defined all the way In the prop critics of this company it is parti- cularly so. They include eighty pertenencias-forty at each.end.
 The Porvenir de Sonora Com pany, which has succeeded to the ownership of these properties, is officered by Mr. John Henderson, of Nogales, president; Aurelio San doval, of Nogales, treasurer; Judson A. Elliott, of Phoenix, secretary. Mr Henderson is a practical min ing man of wide experience, and has devoted many years to success ful operation in Sonora. Mir. Elliott has the confidence of investors, and is practical business man, who will carefully guard the interests confided to his care Mir. Sandoval Is one of the most prominent busi- ness men in Sonora.
 With so fine property Tn hands so excellent, great results are sure to follow

saoesest Sermon Ever Acted.

As to preaching, arguing and in
terpreting Scripture in the pulpit
the eccentricities Of ministers are
endless. Lorenzo Dow performed
esthe shortest sermon on record"
Ills subject was ssBacksliding," and
what might be called the body Of
the sermon consisted in his climbing
up q smooth sapling with great
pains and difficulty and the sliding
down again. An immense conconrse
Of people had assembled to hear
him, and great was their astonish-
ment at witnessing this perform
ance. The only words uttered by
the preacher on the occasion were,
"Hold on there, Dow; hold on"
Then he slid down again, put on his
bat and left.

Celtic Sarcasm.

A traveller, touring Ireland, was
passing through Tullaghan on his
way to Sligo. Not far from that
locality is hill with two "kopjes,"
famous as being the scene Of an an
Gent Irish battle. The tourist,
wishing to verify some historical
facts he had been reading, asked a
peasant woman, "What do you call
that hill over there?"
That query was to the woman a
kind of insult to the fame Of the
place, which she evidently thought
should be known by every one, and
the sarcastic reply, THAT for shure
must be nothin' short ay Spain, yer
hammer" was sufficient to stop any
further questioning.

Kills a Robper

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 2. Eugene
Hector, formerly financial editor
for the Inter Ocean, shot and
killed highwayman at Calumet
avenue and Twenty second street
at 10 o'clock last night. The
police took upthe chase after the
dead bandits confederate, and
captured him half a block away
from the scene of the encounter.
Hector, who lives at 4453 Oak
enwald avenue, had spent the
evening with friends in Calumet
avenue, near Twenty-frst street,
and took his leave a few minutes
before 10 o'clock. He was walk
ing south OF the west side of the
avenue, when he noticed two
roughly-clad strangers logging
his steps on the opposit side of
theroad. Something about them
suggested to his mind that they
would halt him before he had
escaped from the dimly-lighted
thoroughfare, and be took his re-
volver from his pocket, and held
it in his hand, concealing it in
the folds of his overcoat.
AS he reached the center of
the square the two men left the
opposite sidewalk and crossed
the road. The foremost man
was asmooth- faced fellow, scarce
ly out OF his teens, and he held a
pistol gripped in both hands.
AS he stepped up on the walk
alongside of Hector, he leyeled

An Expensive Telegram.

Punctuation, which used to be re-
garded as very essential part Of
composition, does not receive the
same attention today which was for
merly given to it. There is, how
ever, one man who, if he were asked,
would be likely to concede its inn
portance.
He is a wealthy business man of
New York, man of large iberality
and very generous to his family.
During his absence from the city
his wife desired to make purchase
of laces amounting in value to ST.
600. The sum was large, and, al
though she knew his generosity, she
decided to telegraph to him for his
sanction before buying.
In reply to her telegram of in
quiry came the answer, ssNa price
too high" Touched by such liber-
atty and stimulated by the cheering
message, she proceeded to buy not
only the laces which she had in
mind, but other goods to the value
of $1,000.
When the husband returned and
his wife showed him her purchases,
he asked to see the telegram which
she had received. 1t was something
of surprise to him, but he said
nothing. What he had written was:
'No. Price too high"

AMONG THE OLD MASTERS.
Rembrandt's Shadows and Ruben
Fat Ladies' Not Appreciated.

A good looking young woman
who had evidently been fed on lare,
quantities of 'sculturene," was pilo,
ing about the art museum the 9th
er day fat and comfortable middle
aged soul, whose agreeable but to-
tally uninspired features showed
that hers was the proud privilege of
being mother to her companion.
The girl dragged her mother from
canvas to canvas, explaining things
in high pitched voice.
Rembrandt was Dutchman, y
she observed. "You see how full of
shadows his pictures are"
Shadows, indeedp returned the
mother. 81 must say, though, it
was well for that lady he did put her
in the shadow. He must have been

you can call 'em ladies!" exclaimed
the portly matron, for once inter-
ested.

one.
"Well, now" said mother wrath
fully, ''to think man would make
such show of his own wife! No, /

The conversation, carried on in
clear tones, had attracted the atten-
ton of half the room. The girl
blushed deeply and drew her moth

ern rooms. The hopeless remark
foated back:

the weapon and ordered his victim

to throw up his handS.
Hector faced about on the in
slant and drew his own revolver.
He was not five feet away from
the banditandh he fred as he lifted
the weapon. The bullet struck
the man in the RICH eye and he
sank to the ground without a
word.
AS the pistol report rang out
the robbers companion turned
and ran toward the north and
Hector fred two shots after him.
The echoes Of the shots aroused
the residents along Calumet av-
enue and as the fleeing bandit
made his way along the middle of
the street window was raised
in one of the residences and a
shot was fired after his retreat
ing figure.
Policemen White, Bush and
Letford were attracted by the
firing and they oyerhauled the
fugitive highwayman in Prairie
avenue a short block away. He
said his name was Edward Con-
ger and that he lived in a South
Clark street lodging house. He
ad mitted having been directly
behind the wounded bandit and
said he witnessed the attack and
subsequent Shooting, but he de-
MED having any part in the af-
fray. The unconscious highway
man was removed to st. Luke's
hospital by the Twenty-second
street police, and died there at
1:3O o'clock without regaining
consciousness.
The police have secured evil
dence that leads them to the con-
clusion that the name of the dead
man is George F. Donovan and
that his home is in Springfield,
Mass.
Hector accompanied the officers
to the police station, expecting to
be detained to await the result of
the inquest of the coroner, but
when the facts of the killing were
recIted it was ordered that he be
released from custody. He is a
newspaper man of extensive ex-
perience in Chicago. He was
identiaed with the Tribune dur
ing the worlds fair period and
afterward was connected with
the Evening Post and the Times
Herald.
/ The shooting recalls that when
Justice Jarvis Blum killed a
highwayman several years ago
under similar circumstances.
Justice Blum was held up on the
street also on the South Side and
shot his assallant fatally. He
was promptly exonorated and
was praised for the deterrent
effect which his act had on the
business of thugs for a long time
afterward.

DROWNED IN BLACK RIVER.
Jeremiah Henderson Loses His Life
at Fishing Frolic.

Another victim has been added
to those who have SINK beneath
the waters of Black river, never
to rise again. The tragedy oc-
Cured Monday afternoon; the
time, about 4 p. m; the place, a
point called Epps' Bars, about
half-milc up the river from the
bridge. A crowd of colored PIC
nickers on the banks of the river
were disporting themselves and
having a good time generally
when within sight of them all one
of their number, one Jeremiah
Henderson, went to his death
almost within an arms reach OF
the shore.
The accounts given of the a.
cldent all agree in the main. A
boat was drawn up on a sand-bar
near where some one had "set"
fishing cane. A big fish grabbed
the hook and darte1 off toward
the opposite bank. Henderson,
who could not swim, jumped into
the boat to try 10 save the fish.
In some unaccountanle way he
toppled over into the water, which
is known at this point as Scooter
Hole" and is some Is or 20 feet
deep. The drowning man arose
and grabbed a fishing cane that
some had handed him and would
probably have been drawn ashore,
but for his wife who in frenzy
of excitement fell across the Cane
and broke it in pieces. Her has
band then sank for the last time.
A. soon as possible graphing
hooks were procured and the body
was dragged ashore and brought
to the river bridge. Here DR.. ".
V. Brockinton examined it and.
thinking there might be left
spark of life, endeavored bring
about resuscitation. But over an
hour had elapsed between the
drowning and the bringing of the
body to the bridge and life was
extinct.
Henderson was sign painter
who came here several months
ago, claiming to have lived in
Charleston.

At all times there is about a we'd
