 And the extent and variety of methods of mismanagement seem infinite. The list could be expand ed indefinitely. The moral to the story is that mining has become an exact science, in which success cannot be attained by neoph ytes in any branch of the work.

 Mr. Christ was born in Strat- ford, Ohio, June 26th, 1889. He first entered public service as a railway postal clerk and his re- cognized ability soon won him a place in the Interior Department at Washington. He was later ap- pointed a special agent for the Treasury Department. He had made Arizona his home for many years and was very prominent in territorial affairs, holding many positions of trust. He was instru- mental in securing the passage of the bill creating the Customs Dis trict of Arizona and was the first collector for the port of Nogales, being appointed to that office by President Harrison.

NOT FOR NEoPHYTEs.

Before now has THE OASIS taken occasion to defend the mining in- dustry against frequent criticisms leyeled at is as a prohtless invest ment of good money; and we have always pointed out that the fail- ures have been more frequently the fault of bad management than that of bad judgment in the prellm- inaries of exporting and purchas- ing properties. Many really very valuable properties can be enum- erated by the writer to which the foregoing assertion will apply, and the farther he travels the more of them he finds. And while it is a subject frequently dilated upon, still 1t is evermore new, as new forms and methods of mismanage- ment are being continually dew eloped or applied.
 Of the numerous ways for disap- pating the money of confiding stockholders, THE OASIS has before now presented the common one of overlooking mere prospect with full official staff-manager, sup erintendent, foremen, etc. when plain, every day foreman would he amply sufficient; or better yet, to let out the development work by contract. Another very great fault, which frequently crops out even after mine has reached the list of producers, is \ hat of employing unskilled and inferior labor in places of real responsibility, where cheap man can do in day more damage than would be saved in the wages of high priced man during an entire year. Within the past year THE OASIS man has visited fine new pumping engine that cost set up number of thou sand dollars, which was being run by an inexperienced Mexican who was paid three dollars per day in Mexican money. Today the pump is practically worthless. Upon the LOGO foot level of the Creston mine at Minas Prietas is another pump ing engine, of the same type and capacity which has been run con- stlantly six or seven years, and is today as good and effective as when new. But the man in charge is paid five dollars gold per day.

RUSSELL SAGE ON VACATIONS.

Aged Financier.
Mr.. Russell Sage has dealt telling
and timely blow to the lamentable
habit of taking vacations Coming at
the time when the great majority OF
people are plotting against their own
interests by arranging for the annual
peregrination to fashionable watering
places, Mr. Sages convincing argu-
ment will doubtless put the matter
to many people in a new light. There
is no doubt that great many good
business opportunities slip by per-
son when he is off on his vacation.
A quick break in the stock market
a momentary slump in real estate
the underwriting OF some new con-
Germ at tempting prices-all these
golden chances may escape the man
who is hid away in some far off forest
or mountain retreat. The man at
home is the man who gets in" and
makes neat little turn with the tide.
In Mr.. Sage's opinion the fishing on
Wall street is better than on Lake
Greenwood, and higher priced game is
bagged in the stock exchange than in
the forest of Arden. 1t may be all
right for some people to tune their
merry note u...o the sweet bird's
throat" but for Mr.. Sage the voice OF
the auctioneer calling down choice
bits of property about town is much
more enlivening.-Chicago Tribune
