pany, hich has recently taker
 over the noted Minas Nuevas, near
 Alamos, THE OASIS takes the fol
 lowing which will be read with general interest:
 Since taking over the Zambona
 and other properties, which was
 finally effected on February 25th,
 your superintendent, Mr. 4. Yaeger,
 began at once to take out the water
 which had accumulated in the
 mines for four months of very
 wet season. This was completed
 by the middle of April with
 machinery appliances then on hand. Work was then commenced immediately placing guides in the
 main shaft which is 530 feet deep and until now has had no timber ing of any kind. This was accom- plished May 18th; new head frame was erected and tramway to the mill and ore, arrangements for handling ore and water were completed and the mine is now in condition for regular work.
 There are now over 200 tons of loose ore assaying 50 oz. which the former proprietor had no time to take out and we might start at once to take out large quantities of this class as the body Is large; but your mill will not be ready for sixty days and the otherwise available space on the dumps Is still occupied by the large heaps of second class material. New ground below the fifth level will be ex- plotted at once and it gives me pleasure to state that the outlook is most favorable not only for large quantities but for much higher grade of ore than the 40 or 50 oz material which has been the average of milling ore for the last twenty years.
 There Is now in transit an elec- tric plant capable of running high pressure main pump and electric hoist for underground work, both of which are also on the way; the plant will also light the camp and mine by electricity. A new steam hoist for the main working shaft is expected to be in operation by July sth.
 In the mill most of the old machinery has been torn out but il has been thought advisable to put the 20 stamps in repair This is in progress and the repair parts are now in transit. Besides the stamps, the mill will have sizing screens, a slime separator and six concentr tors for the present, all of which will arrive shortly. It will be equipped with water saving system as the water is from the surface thus far and is variable. It is the intention to double the of the mill as soon as everything else Is in good working condition. by crushing much coars- er in the batteries and finishing the fine crushing with grinders. Meanwhile daily capacity of fifty tons is reasonably expected from this ore with a racovarv If T0W or more in concentrates.
 There has been expended dur ing a period of something over three months the sum of $51815.36 Mexican currency.
 A comparison of the present con dition of the properties with that when the work began would be the best and in fact the only way to value the extent and variety of minor repairs and inn

an a Hard Row For Stumps."
You ask for manliness. martial deedsf
co back TO Ohio's natal morn,
Go back to Kentucky's fields of corn;
Just weeds and stumps and stumps and
Just red men blazing from stump and
tree,
Where buckskinned prophets midst strife
and stress
Came crying. came dying. in the wilder
ness.
That hard. first. cruel half century,
What psalms they sang What prayers
Cabin or camp. as the wheels rolled
west;
Silently leaving their bravest, best
Paving a nations path with their dead
What unnamed battles, what thumps and
bumpsl
What saber slashes with the broad
bright hoel
What weeds in phaIanxI What stumps
in row.
What rank vines fortressed in rows Of
stumps!
And the saying grew. as sayings will
From hard endeavor and bangs and
bumps:
'.He got in mighty hard row for
stumps,
But he tried and died trying to hoe his
row"
Oh. brighter and better that ten pound
hoe
Than brightest broad saber Of Water
loo!
Nor ever fell soldier more truly true
Than he who died trying to hoe his row.
The weeds are gone and the stumps are
gone.
The huge hoptoad and the copperhead.
And million bent sabers fash triumph
instead
From stately. clean corn in the diamond
sown dawn.
But the heroes have vanished. save here
and there.
Far out and afeld like some storm riven
tree.
Leans a last survivor OF Thermopylae.
Leafiess and desolate lone ana bare.

WILL APPOINT NEW CARDINALS
Pope Will Name Them at Next Con-
sistory, But None For United States.

Rome, Feb. 21-As there are nine
vacancies at present in the Sacred
College. Pope Plus x. has expressed
his intention to appoint new cardinals
at the next consistory, the date of
which has not yet been decided, as a
great deal depends on negotiations
now going on regarding the comforting
of these Offices. IL has been almost
definitely decided to nominate for the
first time a South American cardinal
in the person OF the archbishop OF Rio
de Janeiro, but as the appointment
might revive a claim on the part OF
Argentina, and possibly on the part
Of Chile also. for like honors, the
Vatican has Informed all the South
American republics that the distinc-
tion is being conferred, not on one
special country, but on a deserving
man. Il isrprobable that cardinalates
will be given TO Hungarians and Ital-
ians, but none will go to Great Britain
or the United States.

Broken. dismantled and stark
Rotting and waiting the end.
I am moored in harbor where death and

In limitlsss shadows blend.

My timbers crealS in the wind:
How long for the weight OF the masters
hand
on the wheel. as we sailed to the Indl
Oh. 10 point by the Southern Cross,
or to follow the northern star,
To fly race with the albatross
To the lands that lie ATARI
Oh to ride from crest to crest,
In the teeth OF a merry gale,
When the lightnings fash shows the
seas unrest.
And the cheeks Of men turn palei
The sound OF the swapping mast.
The shrieks of the frightened crew.
Unheeded by me as Z challenge the blast
And plow the mad waves through
And at last in the harbors calm,
At rest on the mirroring tide.
I'd breathe perfume in the soft airs balm
And the masters Will abide.
This was the life i once lived.
And a thousand deaths have died
While fretting here like a soul unshrived
At the great wide waters side.

A hundred fathoms deep
To the grave for which good ships are
born
A cool. sweet shroud and sleep.

On the Plains.
The sun sinks low,
rhe golden glow
Falls slanting DER the tawny plain;
A gentle breeze
From faron seas
Blows gently DER the wagon train;
A mellow beauty softly reigns--
'Tis sunset on the western plains
The twinkling stars
Through the azure bars
Look down upon the darkened plain;
The coyotes cry
And night winds sigh
Are blended in a long refrain;
A mystic. wild enchantment reigns--
IT'S sunset on the western plains.
Long rays Of light
Dspel the night
As slanting sunbeams span the plain;
wild flowers fair
Perfume the air,
While westward wends the wagon
train.
The god Of day in glory reigns-
'Tis sunrise on the western plains.
