the collar of the shaft. At the time of the visit of THE OASIS edi tor the shaft had thirty feet farther to sink and the tunnel the same distance to run in order to make an intersection. Along the foot wall in this tunnel there is also a rich streak of shipping ore two feet wide, and all the rest of the vein, four feet, yields the second grade shipping ores.
 Two hundred feet north of the entrance to Tunnel No. 1, and vertically no feet below, is Tunnel No. } of the "South Main Work ings." This is in 400 feet, and, like the workings above, has two feet of
 SHIPPING ORE,
 upon the footwall, and the usual four feet of second class roc k in the rest of the vein. This last des- cribed tunnel is near the bottom of a very deep ravine which cuts through the ledge, the latter being traced up both sides the summit 5of the ridges being 800 to 600 feet above the lower workings. Upon the north side of this ravine two tunnels are following in upon the ledge, one about 300 feet, the other about sixty and they are now be- ginning to encounter good ore.
 Near the summit of this ridge, about 600 yards north of the South Main workings" is shaft about sixty feet deep, from which great deal of very rich gold ore has been extracted and shipped.

Away beyond the Bavispe river, in the Moctezuma district Of So- nora, at point about forty miles east from the line of the Naco- zari railway, among the oaks and pines upon the west slope of the Bavispe mountains, part of the great Sierra Madre, are situated AEl Tigre" and adjacent mining claims, properties of the Lucky Tiger Combination Gold Mining Company" of Bisbee, Arizona, which on account of the extensive development of great area of

 THOUSANDS OF OUNCES,
 and three to five ounces per ton in gold. All the rock between these two streaks of shipping ore pays between 125 and 175 ounces per ton of silver and n little gold. Immediately north of where this tunnel turns into the ledge is winze which is now down eighty six feet At a further depth of fifty feet it will intersect Tunnel No. 8, which is now in 300 feet, and immediately below this winze. From the eighty-six foot station in this winze a drift has been run twenty feet each way, both north and south. In both drifts and in the winze there is the same forma- ton as that in the tunnel above.- very rich streaks upon both walls, with good milling ore between. In places third streak comes into the middle of the vein. The winze to the south was being extende' to intersect another winze iNy feet distant along the vein, which was at the time of the visit about sixty feet deep, in the same kind of ground as the rest of the workings.
 Outside of this tunnel is the largest of the mill dumps, contain

 sIXTY-oNE OUNCES GOLD
 per ton. Very rich ores are yet in the bottom of this cut, as the full depth of the rich ore body was not extracted. Although the closest watch was maintained it was inn possible to prevent the workmen stealing these rich ores. They pounded them up-their women doing that work,-and washed out the gold in the creek in the canon below. Two men who worked here are known to have sold in Cananea $500 worth of washed gold, which undoubtedly came from that point. The open cut continues under cover a distance of twenty-five feet farther, and becomes tunnel, which is running south toward shaft No. 1, which it will intersect within fifty feet farther, at a depth of l20 feet from the surface. In all these workings there are about two feet of rich shipping ore upon the foot wall, and the remaining four feet of the ledge yield a good second grade of rock which is piled upon the dump to be

The S b Closing"

It is safe ground the Shelby Star
is on in contending that 1--WE do not
want to rear a generation of children
who were never taught to appear
creditably in public" The occasion
of it's criticism and just complaint
is the fact that the graded school in
Shelby did not have any closing exer-
cises and "never does" at closed
like a funeral procession" the Star
says. We are with the Star. The
public exercises at the close of the
school year should not be omitted.
When a whole terms work is given
over to preparations for loud display
and hollow show, such exercises
would be open to objection, but when
they grow out of the schools regular
work and in matter and n are
characterized by taste, sense, bright
ness, and earnestness, they are uni
formly good for the children, for
the parents, for the schools, and for
the community. Let the sour old
cynics who have mildewed whiskers
on their views stay away from the
exercise if they want to-but don't
abolish the closing exercises of the
schools.-Gastonia Gazette.

Though none of the slaves were

A Marvellous Rock in Selma.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer sends this inter
esting item:
"Onc of the best jokes of the year
was pcrpctratcd the other day at Sci
ma, the victims being Rev. J. B. Hur-
ley and r. I. Gray, Esq, of Raleigh.
The proprietor of the hotel was
showing these gentlemen a very sin
guIar stone in his yard, the end of
the stone being open like a mouth,
and in it being a detachable piece of
stone shaped somewhat like a tongue.
He told the visitors that this tongue
had the singular habit of wagging
whenever it heard the bell ring,
which announces that a meal was
ready at the hotel, and told the gen
temen to watch and see this happen.
Both got on their knees in order to
see the phenomenon occur. The
landlord asked the eager watchers if
they saw anything, and they told him
no. and asked him what was the rea-
son. He replied very dryly that he
guessed the stone didn't hear the
bell ring"

Negro Life and Character During Our

Dear Aunt Jennie AS I am one

times, / feel it my duty to say a few
things in regard to their welfare in
my community, although I was quite
young when slavery was abolished.
I was born and raised in Edgecombe
County, one mile from Rocky Mount,
and will be fifty years of age this
month, which my incompetency will
prove, though when I read your re-
quest in The Progressive Farmer, it
brought back bygone days fresh to
my memory.
There were a great many slaves in
my neighborhood. Corn stockings
at night we're very much practiced.
All the invitation the farmer had
to give was to haul his corn up, give
his own negroes a big drink of apple
brandy, and put them to shocking
and they went to following, and all
the negroes in hearing would come.
Then they we're treatd time and
again with brandy, and by the time
they we're through shocking the
corn, there was a large pot of boiled
peanuts and a tray of baked potatoes
ready for them to eat. Then after
eating and drinking was over they

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Did you get The Progressive
Farmer of May 10Th? If so, please
see the prize offer in our department.
We have one letter on this interest
ing subject for this week. Those
who lived in slavery times and know
how things we're managed then are
fast crossing the river and what they
write now will live to be read as his
tory by future generations. See if
you can't record a few facts, and
when you begin to write, a few facts
will soon make an interesting letter.
Mrs. Harper sends us her recipe
for sponge cake. This is encourage
ing. If every woman who reads this
page each week would send us one
item, interesting, amusing, or help
full, Aunt Jennie would not be blue
for lack of letters and our Circle
would be a live one.
| vas thinking to-day of the
shreads we turn loose or break off
and fail to weave into life's wool as
the years speed by. Things that were
extremely interesting have lost their
charm and we view life from a diff
ferent standpoint. Picnics, social
gatherings, and things of like nature
which would rejuvinate S and prove
bright threads in the weaving, are
left out and finally we weave only
plain gray which few admire and we
ourselves are astonished to find lack
ing in color. Let us keep weaving
bright threads. The weaving will
interest more, add years to our earth
ly career, and mayhap help some one
else to introduce bright lines into
life's warp and wool, thus producing
material fit for kings and princes.
