 Editor of TIE OASIS.
Nogales, Arizona.

Ing to all old timers Tn the coun- try to see the great interest man. ifested iI the mining industry around and south from Cananea, an interest due to the rapidly in- creasing use of copper and conse- quent advances in price of the red metal. In fact there are prospect ing parties, well outftted, to be seen all over the country, visiting un- explored regions in all parts of the state, which promises to become shortly the leader in all the world in the production of copper. With strong companies exploring the depths below the great outbursts, or blossoms that are encountered, many of which up to da,e have never had pick struck into them, there will be many live, active, producing camps in operation.
 The prospector who has gone through these parts following a burro, and searching for a six inch streak of high grade ore upon which to chloride, will return in a few years to find camps as large and important as Cananea, or more so, in spots that he con- sidered not worthy of attention; and the same old story will be heard "Why, while prospecting several years ago camped where the new camp has sprung up." We have all heard that remark.
 The recent discovery of large ore bodies on the America, one of the properties belonging to the Cana nea Central Company, has opened the eyes of the mining world. When a mine nets the neat sum of S35,00O per month, with an equip ment that has cost not more than S25 5,O0O, it is property that is bound to command notice. And that has been done by the Amer lea under the able management of Mir. John Talbot. Such mines as the one here mentioned are not found every day, but that there are others to be found south of the international line Is a certainty, and the near future will present a number. Strong companies are turning their attention to the re- zion south Of Cananea, where the continuation of the great copper belt cuts through, undoubtedly, which fact will be proved unmis- takably, and very shortly.
 Within the last sixty days the writer has made three denounce- ments of one hundred pertenencias each, upon great outcrops along the Sonora river, and in their de- velopment and exploitation I am backed by local capital, which will go after the metal in commercial quantities, if a trace can be found. Upon one of the great. iron capped, leached zones that we are working now, at a point twenty miles south of Arizpe the iron gos- san yields three ounces per ton in silver, $2.90 gold, and the alum which has leached out shows one per cent copper. This is one of the things that have been passed over by the prospector with the burro, because it was too large for him to tackle, for opening up one of these great outbursts is expens-

the ground beneath potato vine. The potatoes may be small but lhe only way to test them is by digging. And the same rule applies in pros. pecting and in mining; and it will pay mining men to test all these big leached zones, SO abundant throughout the state of Sonora.
 The great copper camps that have been opened up within the past few years have taught miners a great deal with regard to where and how to look for copper.
 A railroad along the Sonora river is the most needed thing, and one Is sure to come, for soon- CT or later Stillwell or some other live railway promoter will realize the opportunities here presented, and lay the rails. No railway that could be built in Sonora would be more profitable than one from Ga nanea to the Sonora river and down the valley of this stream to some hac5or on the gulf coast Upon each side of the river are great ore deposits that are too low grade to work under the present expensive conditions, but would yield prof itably with cheap transportation supplied by railway to tidewater.
 It Is stated that route has been surveyed for railway along this stream, and that the engineers re- ported that the first cost would be too great, because of the box can yons through which 1t flows. But had the engineers employed some- one who was born and raised here and is familiar with every canyon, to show them about they would have found places where. the line could evade the box canyons at very slight expense.
 Huepac people are building a wagon road across the Aconchi mountain range to the San Miguel river, at Opodepe, thence by the good road now in use to the rail- way at Poza station. When com- pleted the new road will be a great improvement over the burro trail now in use for transportation of supplies, which is the only route now open to us. The new road is about half completed.
 Mir. Juan Pedrazzini, owner of Las Chispas mines, is now at the camp with Mir. Arthur Chase, an eminent mining engineer, who is there with view to purchasing the property for an English com pany. Las Chispas is said to have yielded more than eight millions of dollars within the past twenty years.
 In the vecinity of Las Chispas there is now considerable activity as there are three new companies operating mines there. MT. John P. Casey of Cananea has the south extension of Las Chispas, Fl Car men) which is producing good ore. Mir. J. J. Evans of Cananea has the Espirit1 Santo, on the north of Las Chispas, and it is reported that he is getting rich ore also, at the depth of 100 feet.
 Mir. Benjamin Frenzel, from Denver, 8 rare nitrate expert, is making his headquarters at Las Cabezas mine, and the gentleman is very greatly pleased with some of the discoveries in his line that he has made. He has discovered bismuth and other rare metals of

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 7.-William Dali
zen, who is in Jail under sentence to be
hanged on January 19 next for murder
ing a woman has constructed a grew
some mechanical toy to gather in
nickels.
With his pocketknife and such wood
as he could lay his hands on he shaped
the various pieces of a scaffold and
put them together. Two weeks ago,
when he believed that he had finished
his task, it occurred to him that he had
omitted the. trap door He fixed that.
and then, to complete the job, made
dummy figure, attached it to a rope
from the BEAM and by a simple me-
chanical device arranged it so that the
trap would open only when a nickel
was dropped in a slot
over the miniature scaffold Dalzen
placed a sign reading:
Drop a nickel i'm the slot and see
how II looks to be hanged"
Nearly every visitor who calls at the
Jail gets interested in it and puts in a
nickel to see it work.

mine, he likewise became convinced as
to ,ts future
In fcw weeks, or less than three
months ago. he returned to Prescott
with his family. and became associated
with the Great Republic, saying that
he had complete faith in the medium
and he would support that regard by
taking a big block Of the stock. This
he did to the extent of several thou
sands Of dollars. becoming n short time
ago the vice president Of the company.
After leaving Prescott Mr.. sullivan
disposed Of everything he possessed in
the north. and with his family, he came
to Prescott, and later built himself i
commodious home at the camp on
Turkey creek, where his brother lived
about two miles from the Great Repub-
lie mine
When seen a few days ago Mr sulli-
van maintained that as the medium
was true i'm one, Sc must she be true
i'm all things, and while the buildings
were as she saw them so must the
mine ultimately prove this wisdom Of
her foresight.
This. too, has been proven, and the
long link I'm the chain Of this mystery
has been welded at last.
This has not been the first case re-
corded of q medium successfully solv-
ing earthly problems, or pointing out
the path Of riches, SO it is said. The
late Alvinza Hayward of San Fran
cisco. a multi-millionaire, made his
fortune through the same influences,
and openly said so before his death.
Others also attribute their successes
in one channel and another to the
same guidance. Failures have like
wise followed this so-called supernat-
ural power, and one of special note is
Of recent occurrence within ten miles
Of Prescott in the mining business.
But the story Of Mr.. Sullivan Is one
that IS true, and in which
he is a firm believer in so far as It
applies to his case.
