National Consolidated Company.

Last week THE OASIS mentioned a new strike on the 100-foot level in the Silver Glance mine of the Nation al Consolidated Mining Company, whose mines are on the west side of the Patagonia mountains, about twelve miles northeast from No. gales. MT. George D. Gross, the superintendent, sent to MT. Alfred Thurtell, the treasurer of the com. pany, in Chicago, an average sample of the ore, and that gentle man had assays made, with these results: Silver, 61.26 ounces; cop per 27.7%. At present quotations of silver and copper the values in the ores are $35.S3 per ton in silver, and $66. AS per ton in copper, 8 total of $102.31 per ton. What do you think of that?"

Reducing Expenses in Chihuahua.

A Chihuahua dispatch to the Bisbee Review states that Colonel Greene in an interview respecting the Greene Gold-Silver Company, said:
 You may say that large re- duction in force has been deter mined on at the mine (Cocheno) and that a 25 per cent out in wages will also be put in force at once. The force will be reduced to great extent. The cut in wages will amount to $1 gold in the case of American laborers, who, instead of receiving $4 gold, as heretofore, will receive $3 gold Mexican laborers will get $1.75 Mexican money, instead of $2.50, which has heretofore been their pay.
 We regret exceedingly to have to take this step in connection with our Chihuahua property, but con- ditions have forced it upon us and there is no other alternative.
 "We have large plans for future development and mining opera tions, but those which have not been given to the public as yet are not ready for publication"

"Grinding Axes" Gratis for Nobody.

Some people who are over en- thusiastic in respect of racial pride, think that all the resourcefulness in business Is found under white skin and that the darker skinned and uncivilized tribes get all their knowledge and education from the whites. The following story again demonstrates that the Creator put brains in the head of an "Injun" as we'll as a white man.
 George k. Brown, superintendent of irrigation on the Maricopa and Pima reservation, lives in Mari copa village near to his wards and has become their father confessor in everything except religious mat ters. No matter what the nature of their trouble is they appeal to him as a first aid to the injured.
 Not long ago an old buck ap- peared at MT. Browns home in company with an interpreter, car rying in his hand an ax, the handle of which he had just broken. He told Mir. Brown through the inter- preter that he wanted new ax handle. AK handles cost money, but Mir. Brown felt sorry for the poor fellow who could not get a new one anywhere else without coming clear to Phoenix, so he dug up fine hickory handle from his private stock and properly ad- justed it to the ax and fastened 1t in. In doing so he observed that the ax was too dull to cut any thing more dense than cheese, SC he told the interpreter to tell the Indian that he had a good grind stone and would sharpen the ax for him if the Indian would turn the crank.
 The Indian assented and after the iob was finished he gazed or the bright steel with evident satis' faction but made no move toward leaving the premises. Finally MT Brown asked the interpreter what the buck was waiting for. The latter replied, "He wants money When asked how much, the inter preter said the Indian wanted twenty-five cents. Mir. Browr then asked him what for and th' interpreter said, "For turning th' grindstone." e."-Arizona Republican

A Nest of Reptiles.

Wesley Peak, a 9-year-old Tomb stone boy, had a thrilling experi- ence yesterday afternoon, during which time he displayed courage that would have been commend able in one of more mature age.
 While observing the operations of gang of railroad laborers, the lad procured a pick and shovel, and while not observed by the man in charge, commenced operations in a loose bank of earth. His ex- cavation had progressed to depth of about one foot and a half when all of sudden consternation took possession of the little bunch of Mexican laborers and they scat tered to the four winds, the boy alone remaining. Young Peaks mind was taken up with huge rattlesnake. A Gila monster four teen inches in length and a rattler about four feet in length had been unearthed from the hibernating quarters. The two vicious reptiles had gone into winter seclusion to- gether and offered a combined resistance to any encroachment upon their seclusion. The Gila monster squirmed and hissed, while he emitted poisonous fumes; his snakeship was more active and measured a full length from his coil in vain attempt to reach his tormentor; he would stand erect, as if on the very extremity of his tail and launch at the intruder. The meanwhile young Peak pelted his snakeship with stones, finally succeeding in directing knockout blow, after which the little hero deftly detached the twelve rattl9s of his vanquished adversary.
 The most trying ordeal of the hree-cornered battle having been gone through with, Wesley Peak took the balance of the conflict more philosophically, regarding the termination of the fight from a financial standpoint. The Gila monster is beautifully colored and would be an attractive specimen in any zoo, so Wesley took off his sus- penders, adjusted a loop, and gently placing it over the reptiles neck made the monster captive, and he will be made to answer the purpose of a commercial commodity whenever a purchaser happens this way.-Prospector.

While seated at the dinner table in the bungalow of the Richardson Construction Company, at Espe- ranza, one day couple of weeks ago, the honors being done grace fully by Doctor c. A. Wilson, the genial, iovial superintendent for the company, THEOAsIs editor was edi- fled ana entertained by the quaint conversation of Mir. Arthur McGoff, a fellow guest, who is interested in lands and agriculture in the Yaqui delta, and has a great and abiding faith in the future of the vast and fertile region were he is now located and in which he has acquired valuable holdings that he is inn proving on modern lines. Mir. Me- Golf is a pioneer of pioneers, hav- ing been one in early days in Kan sas, and later in South Dakota and Manitoba. Said the gentleman:
 All we need in the Yaqui delta is immigration, which is coming, to make the Yaqui delta one of the greatest regions on the face of the earth. Europe has thousands of the best people on earth seeking homes in the New World, and they have made steady stream of inn migration that has peopled vast areas in the states that are not half so rich and fertile, and they have grown rich all of them. There are the Norwegians, the Danes and the Doukbers, the Films, the Lithuanians, the Russians and the Poles, who have gone into the great states of the West and Northwest, into Manitoba, Alberta, and other British colonies, and settled there entire counties, who have become rich and prosperous; and their friends and relatives in the Old World, having heard of their prosperity, are preparing to follow them"
 "Have some of the asparagus, Mac," interrupted Doc Wilson.
 "No, thank you, don't take the root" was the reply.
 But, asI was saying" continued MT. McGoff, "there is a great field for colonization effort that this company should not overlook, During several years l was immi- grafton agent for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Company, and l located upon their lands in Kansas several colonies of Russians and Doukbers. They were all good agriculturists, competent and we'll fitted to wrest a living from the most forbidding soil, under the most unfavorable conditions. IL was just my luck to get them there in the time of drought and grass hoppers, and they had hard time of it the first two years. Why with a gallon of whiskey one couldn't raise disturbance on 16( acres of any of that land. They were so incensed at me for induc ing them to locate there that they wanted to mob me, and they de clared they would kill me if should show up among them a any time. Very conveniently had business in other parts of th' country. But there came two O three good years, they had abundan crops, sold at high prices, and the,
