ELIZABETH, N. j., March THE cruiser
Chattanooga was launched at $50 o'clock
this afternoon. She slid gracefully into the
water, the launching and ceremonies being

than $50 feet long To overcome the dan
ger q system of checking the movement of
the vessel was devised. Two great weights
were secured well down in the ground on
each side of the ways W
AS the cruiser left the ways and was
water-born series of heavy ropes were
broken, each rope sustaining a strain or
twenty tons. In this way the ship grad
ually was stopped before she reached the
opposite shore.
The Chattanooga was christened by Miss
Nell Chambliss, daughter of the mayor of
Chattanooga. The maids-of honor We're Miss
Frances Bond and Miss Rieta FaXon.
The bottle of champagne Miss Chambllss
broke on the vessels PROV was gold-meshed
and draped with the national colors.
A large number of invited guests of the
United States Shipbuilding Company, Presi-
dent Lewis Nixon and Mrs. Nixon acting as
hosts, attended the launching, going down
from New York to the Crescent ship yards
at Elizabeth in a special steamer. The
party Included Senators Carmack and Bate

 I had hoped to go out to the "Transvaal" mining camp, about thirty miles westward from Cum pas, where Mir. c. Cloud, formerly of Nogales, is managing a great copper property, now in course of development, and MT. o. L. Neahr is superintendent. But was in formed that Mir. Neahr was at Guaymas and Mir.

 Monday the ride to Nacozari took six hours. Although the river bottom is cultivated for a long distance above Cumpas but little of it is seen as the road fol lows the mesa, some distance back. La Noria, the home ranch of the big cattle company controlled by Mir. NJ. NJ. Sherman of Kansas City, was the only notable place passed.

There were three other gentlemans, Messrs. Thos. Davenport and l.. E. Crane, who are working a property near Pittsburg, and NJ. J. Gould of Ma cozari. We got tangled up with a burro train loaded with wood, coming down steep mountain on a narrow trail. To pass we had all to take the steep mountain side. To do that some had to dis mount and force their animals out of the trail. In the mixup Lewan- dowski lost his mount, which went on down the trail with the burro train. He had to follow nearly half mile before he could eXtri- cate the animal and turn back.
 Upon the road we met Mir. Henry Clifford, of St. Davids, near Ben son, gentleman well known all over Southern Arizona. who is in charge of the outside interests of the Moctezuma Copper Company.
 Messrs. Davenport, Gould and Crane parted from us on the trail, to go to their own camp, and we reached Pittsburg toward evening.

This will doubtless prove to be the most valuable property discovered in Mexico in modern times, and is another proof that all the famous rich dntiqta mines of Sonora still retain great values when reopened to depths below which the antiguO methods could not go, and when worked under modern methods, with modern machinery.

Recently TIE OASIS editor paid the Alaska" professional visit, and gave the property careful personal examination, occupying several days; and he presents here with an accurate description, with his own conclusions drawn there from:
 The Alaska group includes three claims, viz: Alaska" Julia Blanca" and Castillo" The group includes 36 pertencias (about 75 acres). The country rock includes porphyry, syenite and quart zite. The entire region is very mountainous, lofty ridges being cut deeply by cahons whose rocky walls tower to heights of 600 to 500 feet above the depths below. One of these deep gorges cut by Naco- zari creek crosses the property, and in its rocky sides may be traced three separate lodges of gold bear ing rock. The general trend of these lodges is northeast and south west upon the surface. They vary in width from eighteen inches to six feet. They stand at one angle ofS5 degr ees--nearly perpendicular.
