CHIpIoNA, Sonora.

JulY IDFu, 1JU4.
 We have been in this camp ter days, and ten busy days have they been. riding over lofty mountain ridges. exploring deep cations, trac- ing immense mineral bearing lodges, extending for miles, and so wide that to state the number of feet they measure across would tax the oredulity of the overwise. But stupendous as is the mineraliza- ton here 1t is no more remarkable than were the Comstock, Ana conada, Butte, Leadyille and Crip- ple Creek. Between this camp and those mentioned the difference is that here these wonderful pro perties are all owned by Il single corporation, the Ciene- gnita Copper Co, Were they in the United States there would soon be scores of companies, each capi- talized away up into the millions, and all paying dividends. But there k no intention of presenting in the " "Wayside Notes" q full des- cription Of this tremendous min- eral region. That is reserved for a special article, and to do the sub- ject full justice would require all the space in several issues of THE OASIS.
 The Chipiona Camp is beauti- fully located in T grove of sturdy oaks upon the summit of q high ridge, surrounded upon all sides by ridges yet loftier, covered with a growth of tall and acieular pine trees.
 In the camp are assembled q very jolly and iovial company of Americans, who are all very conn panionable, and seem to enjoy hugely life in the Mexican Sierra.
 First are Mir. and Mrs. George Beebe Mr. Beebe is president and general manager of the Cieneguita Copper Co.,, and was the original promoter and organizer Of the great enterprise, which is rapidly forging to the front as one of the most colossal and extensive in the entire republic, an enterprise which will be lasting monument to the business ability and restless energy of the gentleman. Less than five years ago Mr. Beebe came in here, and single handed and alone began gathering in these great properties, directing their development, and enlisting the capital necessary to carry on the great work. That he has heen eminently successful goes without saying. An immense amount of development, has been accom- plished, great bodies of rich ore are already exposed ready for stoping and sending to the shelter, ample capital is in the company's treas ury, sufficient to carry out the most minute detail of the colossal undertaking, contracts have been let for 8 200-ton reduction plant, which will be immediately in creased to capacity of 400 tons of ore daily (Roy < Titeomb oi Nogales, being the contractors) the machinery for which is now in course of construction and will be en route before these lines reach

Beebe, brother of Mir. George Beebe, has charge of the freighting be- tween Soyopa and Arevechi. Upon this side of that point Mir. Beebe himself and Mir. Fitz are attending to 1t and rushing the work.
 In the outfit of machinery is a steam sawmill which is to be set up in the timber to saw out lum- Der and timber for the reduction works. Mir. Beebe has contracted to deliver Roy X ritcomb 50,000 feet for that purpose.
 Sunday there was quite q sensa- ton in the camp. 4 man from Chihuahua, named Juan Vjllareal, who had been workingi the camp. was arrested upon extradition from that state as having committed three murders He was lodged in the jail--a mine tunnel with a door, heavily guarded. Monday the prisoner was started for Chi huahua (Jesus Maria is the name of the town) under an armed guard of four men. They took him to Mulatos. turning him over to the authorities there who in turn sent him along, passing him from one municipality to another until the destination is reached.
 MT. George W. Butler, an Ameri- can from Jesus Maria, is in the camp, engaged in contract work in the mines, He has just completed timbering TOO feet of the big working tunnel in the Chipiona mine.
 It is reported that about month ago the boiler in the mill at Mnla- tos exploded, killing three men (natives) and setting fire to the building, which was partly des- ! troyed.
 l Every day since our arrival at Chipiona Camp we have witnessed a heavy thunder storm, coming usually at 2 o'clock to 5 in the afternoon. Friday the rain was ! preceded by hard hail storm none of the hail stones being small { Ter than lemon drops, and of about 1 the same shape, while many oi 1 them were larger than marbles. ! Yesterday evening Mr. Lucius Beebe came in from the lower end of the road, and will be here sev- eral days. He contemplates going to his home in Ohio very soon, for visit.
 Since the rainy season com menced blowing and planting is going on in the little mountain valleys, corn and beans being the principal crops. All the blows in use are the primeval forked stick, drawn by oxen, yoked around the horns, such as one sees depicted in illustrated Bibles, although down in the valley of the Sahuaripa river many of the farmers are using the cast steel American blow. Mrs. Beebe Is planting garden, and she ordered an American plow for the work; but it failed to arrive. and she has been obliged to em- ploy one of the scriptural variety

 In this great work Mir Beebe has found an efficient and effective coaiutor in his charming and ac- complished wife. Mrs. Beebe is equally at home in aristocratic drawing rooms ln eastern cities. in the kitchen here at camp, in the store, in the mining work, on the road, in the timber, or wherever there is work to be supervised and directed. She is wonderful and charming personality.
 With Mr. and Mrs. Beebe are their daughter, Miss Cora, pleas ing and sprightly young lady not yet out of her teens; their son Mr. Sanford Beebe, an active and steady lad Of sixteen; and d nephew, Mir. Orville Beebe, young man several year older than his cousin, also an energetic and effec- tive worker.
 Visiting the camp through the summer are Misses Helena and Edith Richardson from Boston The first named is prominent in New England, educational and literary work, and is now resting and recuperating from protracted and arduous labor. Her sister is a medical student and trained nurse, who has also come into the Sierra Madre for a season of rest.
 Doctor ". ". Calhoun, from New Orleans, is the surgeon and physician at the camp. He is ac- companied by his wife, a charming young lady from the Crescent. City, and their baby, a sweet and beautiful little miss but nine months of age, who was brought into these wilds when but three months old. Doctor Calhoun was several years q surgeon in the reg nlar army, attached to the Ninth Infantry, with which he served in Cuba, China and the Philippines
 Mir. Winthop Turney from New York City is manager of the com pany store.
 Mir. Frank Fitz, from Woodland, California, is the assistant general manager of the company, and holds a large interest in the capi- tal stock. Twenty years ago, when I was editor and proprietor of the Woodland Datty Mail, in California, Frank was a small boy, and l knew his father we'll. He has grown to sterling and useful manhood, a credit to his family and to the state of his birth.
 MT. N. E. Isbell, from Cincin- nati, Ohio, mining engineer, a graduate of Freiburg, is in the ser vice of the company. He is jolly good fellow, full of life and ac- tivity.

From Our Regular correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondents.
WASHINGTON, ID. G., SEPT, ], 1904
Cabinet officers who have returned
TO The city are already looking over
the situation regarding estimates for
the next fiscal year, SO as to make
their reports to the coming Congress.
Postmaster General Payne thinks the
cost of the rural free delivery for
1905 will be about $50, 100000, and
if the plan is extended as the Depart
ment now desires, Congress will have
to appropriate $6,O00,000 more. 1t
is intendend to increase the total
amount until $40, 900. 900 becomes the
yearly expense. This vast sum pre-
cludes the idea of penny postage for
long time to come. Secretary Nor
ton has returned from his cruise
along the New England coast, de
lighted with all he saw. lie will
soon begin to work on his annual
report. 1t is expected in view Of the
sentiments he expressed at an after
dinner speech in Chicago, not long
ago, that he will ask Congress to
make very large appropriation for
the navy.
According to Chairman J. w. Bab-
cock, of the Republican Congression-
al Committee, who passed through
this city yesterday, he has a ''ncck
and neck" contest on hand. He says
it is little too early yet to get down
to details Of the campaign, but that
the conditions are closer this year
than at any time since 1898. In
some districts there is trouble about
the kind of men nominated for Con-
gress; IN others the opposition will
unite upon a candidate for the House
and not bother about the President
ial campaign. In Nebraska nearly
all the Congressional districts are
close; 10 Wisconsin the opposition is
putting up hard fight. Mr.. Bah
cock says the principal issue he is
waging is protection to the business
of the country. The chances are
that not much campaign literature
will be distributed. It Is hard to say
anything new and the press covers
the ground.
A contest Is expected Ia Congress
next winter waged by tbs labor men
Of the Pacific coast for legislation to
protect seamen from the importation
OF Chinese crews on American vessels.
Recently the Pacific Mail steamship,
Siberia, brought in crew Of $40
coolies, destined for the new steam
ship Manchuria, which recently
arrived At San Francisco from Nor
folk, Va. where it was built. The
coolies escape arrest and deportation
on the thin technicallty that there is
no actual landing Of the Chinese in
the United States, and that there
fore the contract labor law Is not
violated. 1t follows, of course, that
the deck Of these American steam
ships are no longor regarded as
American soil.
September 10th has been fixed by
Gen. Corbin rs the day for the grand
review of 25. oeO troops at Wellington
Va. 1t is expected that all Wash
ingt0n will 60 out to see the sight.
Col. II. G. S. Heistand, Of the WaI
Department, says the $l,000,000 fol
the maneuvers IS a mere bagatell tC
the benefits which will accrue to the
country. All the steIness and reality
Of actual strife will be present, except
the suffering and bloodshed.
