 Sunday evening there arrived from the East Messrs. George P. Moore and Frederick A. Brown, treasurer and attorney respective for the Tribune Mining Company, which owns and controls the Com pahia Minera del Grupo Real, owning and operating the Key de Gro and other mines, situated in the Magdalena district of Mexico, beyond the Santo Domingo river. From Nogales the gentlemen went to Magdalena, thence to the mines, where they are making a thorough inspection. They report that the company is in excellent financial condition, and that work at the mines will be forwarded with all despatch and celerity. Erection of an adequate reduction plant is being planned.

 Mir. Robert Carew has bought the interests of sume of the owners in the Bland mine, one of the best properties in the Tyndall district and the ownership is now in Mr. Carew, F.. Heck and Billy Powers of Patagonia. Messrs. Heck and Carew have gone out to the mine and commenced work. There had been considerable work done al. ready, and the intention is to carry it forward at goodly rate.
 In the San Joaquin group of mines, on the west side of the Pata. gonia mountains, Morris & Moody are continuing development on several very promising properties. They have two very good ledges, running parallel, one named the San Joaquin, the other the Whim claim, from both of which there have been extracted some very high grade free milling gold ore. Several shipments have been made that have yielded very handsome ly. The San Joaquin is an exten- sion of the Providencia claim, a patented mine owned by B. M. Jacobs of Tucson, which formerly produced a great deal of good gold ore, and is said to have large bodies of pay rock, developed and ready for extraction-although it is a number of years since any work was done there.

N 3 nsfield Camp.

In his round through the Pata- gonia and Santa Rita mountains this week THE OASIS editor called at the Mansfield Camp, in the Santa Ritas, where he found a scene of undiminished activity. Some weeks ago the boiler at the main working shaft gave out, stopping the pumps and allowing the shaft to fill with water so farther operations at that point had to be suspended. A new boiler was ordered from Roy & Tit comb of Nogales, and it is installed now, commencing operations yes- terday. With the pumps working again the mine will be cleared of water quickly, and work of sinking the shaft and drifting will be resumed at once. With the new boiler there has been installed an air compressor and set of machine drills, with the aid of which sink ing will be facilitated greatly. It is intended to sink the main shaft at the rate of 100 feet every month. The rising water flooded not only the main working shaft, but put a stop to operations in two air shafts. In both of these, which were put in at points on the surface lower than the collar of the main shaft there had been developed good sulphide ores. In one of the air shafts they were of high grade. When the main work ing shaft reaches the same level as did the air shafts mentioned there is no doubt that ores of the same quality will be discovered.
 Within the past two months there has been done considerable work at the Black Cap mine, upon another ledge about one and one- half miles away from the main shaft. In the Black Cap there has been sunk single compartment shaft which is now at depth of 110 feet, in good shipping ore all the way down, and still continuing in the bottom of the working. The shaft will be sunk yet farther, and it's development will produce. Some distance away from this shaft tunnel has been run into the vein, opening up good stoping ground, and preparations were making to begin ore extraction at that point.

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.
louisville Courier-Journal.

Louisville COurler-Journal.
Ii will be some time before the
question OF tolls for passing through
the Panama canal will become one OF
current interest. 1t is impossible,
however, not to see that making the
Suez canal free would have very
important bearing upon the manage
ment of that across Panama. That
waterway is meant for the benefit OF
our commerce and that Of the world,
and it is equitable that the parties
benefited should contribute to the ex-
pense OF construction and manage
ment. 1t is not intended as a money
maker by the government, but, on the
other hand, II is not intended as a
subsidy to international trade. The
rates ought to be reasonable, but that
liz a very different thing from saying
that there should be no charges al
all. Nevertheless, II the Suez canal
were to be made free to British trade
it would furnish precedent for max
ing the Panama canal free TO Ameri
can trade, and other government
would then be asked TO do the lik'
for their subjects that use the canal

VACATION FROM WHAT?

MARY Ellen has gone away for her
vacation" said some one at the table
the other day.
Aunt Hannah dropped lump of
sugar in her tea, and looked up in

asked
The peal of laughter that followed
was the questions fitting commentary
for the lady mentioned had never been
known to have any serious work on
hand, or to be engaged in any more
exhausting occupation than enjoying
herself. A vacation is supposed to be
that, at least, was its original mean
ing-a needed rest from wearying en-
ployment of brain or hand; but 1t has
grown to be a fashion that includes a
vast number who, like Mary Ellen,
have been doing nothing. Busy, tired
humanity, dropping its tasks and bur
dens for little while to taste the
sweetness of leisure, enjoy new scenes
or revisit old ones, and gather fresh
strength of mind and body for the use
full work yet to be done-that's as 1t
should be; it is recreation needed,
earned, and worth while. But fore
most among the migrating multitude
OF the summer time will be the great
host of idlers-those who, having done
nothing all the rest of the year, are
weary of self and its surroundings,
and are simply going elsewhere to
continue the same idle existence. Com
Portable health, abundant leisure, and
fair share of worldly goods are rep
resented by every such Casa trio
OF talents that assuredly should be
doing something worth while in the
world. 1t would be revelation, II
might be regeneration, to many one
starting away on the summer outing
to answer Aunt Hannah's question

Land Convention En-
dorsed Presidents
Policy

Denver, June 20.-The entire ses-
sion OF the public land convention to-
day was taken up in debating whether
outside organizations such as the Ma
tional Live Stock association, Nation
al Wool Growers association, etc,
should be allowed to participate in
the proceedings OF the convention. It
was said most of the members lived
east of the Missouri river, and were
not expected to come into this strict
ly far western body. A motion to let
all outside bodies in was rejected by
vote. Yes. POI; No. 34s.
Resolutions agreed upon by the com
mittee was presented to the conven-
tion today and indorses the presidents
general policies in a general way, but
takes issue with him In duplicating
some of his methods OF the admins
tratlon of the public domain. What is
favored is that a reasor able regils.
tion be provided in c,ntrolling the
forestry without its extension, unless
absolutely necessary and for a good
purpose.
Leasing or permit system on lands
other than forestry is opposed.
An open range as at present Is fa-
vored All lands suited for home
steads in reserves should be made
easy to file upon without delay and
without department red tape. I'VE be-
lieve that the right Of way laws should
he construed liberally so as to en-
courage private enterprises In the con
servation of the reserves and water
system, and that the aeveral states
should control the appropriation and
use waters of non-nayigable streams.
This plan is to cover the San Luis
valley case. Its meaning is the peo-
| pie of that section are opposed to the
| arbitrary ruling OF the reclamation de-
| partment.
Denver, June 21.-The public land
convention has finally adjourned and
| the administration as well as oppon-
ents appear to be satisfied. A letter
was read from the president In which
he held the administration was for
| the home settler first, last and all the
time and against the rich cattle men
and the corporations who desired to
control public lands. The convention
adopted resolutions demanding abol-
ishing of leasing and permit system
The forest reserves must not inter
fere with public land for homes, and
states should be allowed to control ir
rigation. President Roosevelt was con
graduated on his efforts TO enforce
the law against land fraud perpetra
tors. Secretary Garfield made this
statement: I'VE federal officials came
