Could Throw All Away.

A friend of THE OASIS relates an
incident worth relating which has
never before appeared in print, and
which in the points OF time and
distance is so far away that to pre-
sent it here will do no harm, and
it is well worth reading.
The narrator was visiting one of
the great mining camps in Arizona,
and had called upon the general
manager. That official was cordial
and social, and paid the visitor
considerable attention. In the
course OF the conversation he made
the statement that:
"The product of the mine in
cluded all of the three most inn
portant metals, viz: copper, gold
and silver; and that their ores ran
so high in all three that any two
could be thrown away, yet the
company would still continue to
make money out of the one pro-
duct that would remain"
Gas for that" remarked the
visitor, lit would seem to strike the
most ordinary observer, that the
company might throw away all
three, and still continue to make
money out Of the store"
"And do you know" said the
visitor, when relating the incident,
afterward, that he wanted to lick
me?"

camp with Qullano, and another
connects the offices. the mills and
various mines. They are great
convenience.
Mr.. d. J. Duncan. the superin-
tendent, had been summoned to
Nogales by telegraph, and shortly
after my arrival took his depar-
ture, leaving his assistant Mr.. j
S. Scott, and the company's audi
tor Mr.. Hannah, to do the honors.
Before going Mr.. Duncan showed
me over the mill site, the sawmill
site, and the site of the new camp.
The mill site is in gulch, just
below the principal gold property.
described in my report published
in THE OASIS last year. Upon
that property are now five tunnels,
connected, with about 1900 feet Of
drifts, exposing goodly body of
valuable gold rock.
The mill site has been graded
for sixty-stamp mill, and the
machinery for one half the capa-
city is now being assembled. The
twenty-stamp mill from Guacomea
is now in the course OF transpor-
tation from its original site, some
thirty miles southwesterly, and
the ten-stamp mill heretofore oper-
ated at the present camp, IS being
taken down to be carried to the
new site and joined to the other.
Around in connecting gulch
the machinery for the new sawmill
is being assembled. The saw and
frame are already on the ground,
and the boiler, and engine are at
Quijano. They will be Immediately
brought up, put together, and the
plant set into operation as quickly
as possible. The mill will manu-
facture 10000 feet OF lumber daily,
and the company owns fine body
of timber from which to draw its
supply.
At the point OF the ridge separat-
ing the two gulches, convenient to
both mills, is the site OF the new
camp, to which everything will be
transferred as soon as the buildings
are complete. There will be three
two 30x50 each and one 30xS0.
Preparations for making the adobes
to enter into their construction are
now in hand.
An abundance of water for all
purposes has been provided. 1t
will be piped into the houses from
the gulches above. The mills will
be supplied by pumping plant
and pipe line. The pumps will be
located just below the present
camp, which is only about half a
mile below the new site. Masonry
for the dam and pump founda-
tions is to be constructed immed-
lately and the machinery installed
as soon as the masonry is COM
pleted.
Within an hour after my depar-
ture from Quiiano this morning,
Mr.. J. S. Scott, the assistant super
intendent, came there from Guaco-
mea. where he had been attending
loading the mill machinery, and
he was but an hour behind me
coming over the road.
Mr.. J. LEVELS, formerly at
Santa Ana, is in charge OF the
company store.
Mr.. E. T. White, from Washing
ton, d. c., is outside foreman.
Mr.. Rudolph Castaneda, OF Ben
son, is the civil engineer for the
Company.
Mrs. Tonkinson, from Phoenix, is
in charge of the boarding house.
