SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.

From the Gro Blanco district it is reported that there are about twenty men employed now on the Montana mine, and that the Old Glory Is also in operation again. The new company operating the later is named the Esperanza Min ing Go.
 An article with reference to the Wrightson district, and the opera tions of the Mansfield Mining and Smelling Co.,, has been crowded out of TIE OASIS this week by a run of other and more pressing information that came in late yes terday. The omitted article will keep, and will read just as we'll a week hence as now.
 THE OASIS has been forwarded copies of several letters written by prominent and we'll known citi- zen of Patagonia to people in the East, which letters show very plainly that the writer has gone out of his way to blacken and back cap one of the most energetic and promising enterprises that ever took root in Santa Cruz county. With the animus or motives of the writer this newspaper has no con cern. But there is yet to be heard a voice raised in commendation of his course.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

When TIE OASIS presented, a few weeks ago, an article upon the Salton Sea, and pointed out the possibilities of permitting it to fill and cut new channel to the Gulf of California, giving thereby port or ports upon a body of navigable water within the United States, connected with the deep sea navi- gation of the world, 1t presented but one phase of the advantages that would follow the creation in the sink of permanent body of water with the same superficial area as that of Lake Ontario. The climatic effects of such body of water, and the great advantages Ehat would ensue from the changes ln humidity and temperature that would follow throughout great and expansive region, were themes that the writer left for treatment , in another article, at latter time.
 However, it is found that others had been giving thought to the subject, and with the editorial from this paper as a text a num- aoer of writers have taken up the subject and dilated upon the eli 1m8Fic features of the situation, while the original article has been copied far and wide with much favorable comment.
 Upon another page of this issue THE OASIS gives an article from the pen of Mr. 0. E. Cromwell, of Atlantic City, New Jersey, a gen aleman widely known throughout the country, who resided in the Southwest many years, and has given much study to the climatic and meteorological features of this vast region. IL Is we'll worth the time of anyone to read Mr. Crom- wells instructive and very inter- esting article. He points out the change in precipitation already noted in Arizona and New Mexico as result of the evaporation con stantly going on from the surface of the Salton sea. Tie increased feed upon the ranges, the increased capacity of the agricultural lands of the territories, with a minimum ,of irrigation, the probable and successful extension over all these regions of the new method of dry farming as result of, increased humidity in the atmosphere, are

 People in Nevada are noting the same climatic changes, and the i'm provement in range and agricul- tural conditions in that state, which improvement they attribute to the same cause. Recently the
 Los Angeles Herald published very able communication from the pen of a Nevada man upon the same topic.
 There is hardly any doubt that the evaporation from the surface of the Salton sea is making decided changes in Arizona. Recently THE OASIS editor travelled over that part of the Casa Grande valley traversed by the Southern Pacific railway, and it was a pleasure to note the change in the face of nature that has taken place as an effect of the increased humidity and rainfall. All that vast area which had been a bleak sandy waste through all the years of the of the writer there with, Is now carpeted with a verdure, the young grass growing finely, and promising an abundance of pasturage where grew through years.

AGREEMENT AT DENVER.
The Railroads Make Concessions and
Also Certain Demands.

Salt Lake City.-An unofficial re-
port from Denver is to the effect that
the joint conference Of the representa-
tives of the leading twelve western
railroads and the representatives Of
their employees have come to an
agreement between the roads and
their yardmen.
The agreement comedies the 2-cents-
an-hour advance in the wages of the
yardmen, providing the railroad
unions agree to certain conditions re.
garding overtime and the right of the
roads to employ and discharge men
for what they consider to be good
cause, irrespective of the opinion Of
union officials. The railroad represen
tatives also demand that the conces
sions shall not be used as a club &C
the members of the telegraphers', con
ductors' and engineers unions.
Grand Master P. H. Morrissey. who
has virtually been delegated full
power by the yardmen, is quoted as
saying that, in his judgment, an ami
cable settlement would be arrived al
before the week was out.
