money, per ton. Development Is about to commence, and the gentle man thinks that depth will prove the property permanent and very valuable.
 Doctor Hornbeak has another property which he has named the "General Porfrio Diaz." It in- cludes twenty-five pertenencias. The ledge is between eighty and ninety feet wide, and the surface ores carry gold, silver and copper. which run as high as $165 per ton, gold value. Both properties named present so fine a surface showing that they are worthy of heavy ex- penditure in development work, which will be done by the strong company having them in hand. Their representative has enjoyed quarter of century's experience mining in Idaho, Oregon and New Mexico, and can be depended upon as an expert in the prospecting and development of property.
 Not long ago Mir. P. c. Tubbs, of Los Angeles, California, secretary and a heavy owner in the com pany, was here and visited the properties. He was greatly pleased with their appearance.

OcJODer Dln, ljDO. As all these three places have been fully described by TIE OASIS at the times of former visits, 1t is not necessary to now enter into ex- tended descriptions. The fine church at Batuc has been hereto fore described in detail, and the engraving accompanying the des- cription is presented herewith.
 My stay at Suaqui de Batuc was made very pleasant by Doctor 'Hornbeqk and Mir. King, of whom mention is made in the letter sent from that place. MT. and Mrs. Maldonado also entertained me

I should have held back the pay for the work on the mule, and paid him for both jobs when the shaw ing was finished. Mir. Maldonado told me there is another barber in the place who is more expert than the blacksmith, but he was not home.
 When Doctor Burton called for barber the other man had re- turned, and he responded to the summons. He came, spread out an imposing array of razors, and other paraphernalia and lathered the doctors face. Then he drew the razor over the side of face of his victim. With tear. streaming down his cheeks Burton arose from the chair, took the razor and said: "l will complete this operation f,"-which he did.
 Undeterred by Burton's suffer ings, l told the barber to keep his hand in on me, asserting that q did not mind his cutting the skin or cutting the flesh, but that if he cut the bone there would be trouble"

 Yesterday D 10 ctor Burton came down to Suaqui to visit his patients. and a fter that was done h e concluded he needed the services of a barber, and sent for one. In the morning I had asked for a barber, and had also called for the service of a black smith to replace the shoes of my mule, which had been remov- ed at Matape, and the animal was n ow recovered from h CT lameness, and could be shod again. MT. Maldonado told me the blacksmith was also a barber, and I engaged his services for both operations. He shod the mule first, and said he would get his razors and per

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Alice Woodward, '01, is taking jun
Tor French.
Miss Clafiin of Randolph Center has re-
turned to the junior class.
Arthur Lamson and Noah Frink from
Brookfield have entered the junior class.
The senior drama is progressing very
well under the direction Of Frank Wyman.
The football squad OF 1902 held its final
meeting Monday morning, when it elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year:-Ca Captain, Heber Holman; manager,
Roy Huse.
The boys OF the high school and the
eighth and ninth grades are forming an
athletic association. They are repairing
the old gymnasium, which Will be sup
piled with what necessary apparatus can
be afforded. There VIII be an able and
sufficient list OF officers TO see that the
strict rules of the organization are en-
forced. The direction and management
will fall mainly upon members Of the SEN
Tor class and upon the principal of the
school. The systematic drill, which viii
be carried on at certain hours OF the day,
will be participated in by certain class OF
boys, who viii be taken alphabetically.
This drill will be in charge of some mem
Der of the senior class, who will have the
work already planned. 1t is hoped the
boys will all join the association, which
will surely afford much benefit.
