The hill mentioned lies but short dis. tance from the Nogales and Wash. ington wagon road, and is a con. spicuous landmark, being visible for a long distance as the traveller goes up the grade. Mir. Glissan commenced banning at the base of the hill, on the south side, toward the road, and reports that he banned gold all the way from the base to the top of the mountain, rising several hundred feet. The company are very enthuastic over the Hillside group, and expect the red hill to develop into one of the great gold producers of the country.

The streets were beautifully arranged, great decorated arches overhung the road, and the entrance of the bishop and the priest into the town was the signal for another volley of salute from revolvers loaded with blank cartridges, and from fire crackers and cannon crackers dis charged in all parts of the town. The reception was most surpris- ing one to Bishop Granjon, but quickly recognizing the spirit in which it was rendered, he entered into the festivities with good grace. At the services held the following morning, people were present from ranches for miles around, and PIT men, women and children stepped forward for confirmation. It was Bishop Granjon's first visit to Tubac.

Tubac's Reception of Bishop cranjon

It was an odd and interesting, and withal aD enthusiastic and wholesouled reception that was ten dered the Right Rev. Henri Gran jon, bishop of Tucson diocese, when he visited Tubac on the second of the present month, as described to THE OASIS this week by a gentle man who witnessed it. The bishop, accompanied by Rev. Father Duval of Nogales. visited Tubac to hold confirmation services. When the carriage in which the reverend gen tlemen rode reached a point about three miles from Tubac, two horse men were seen on a hill top over looking the road. Immediately on sighting the carriage they drew re- volvers and commenced shooting into the air. Answering shots were heard from various directions, and before the carriage had progressed much further on the road to the little ranch settlement, horsemen were numerous, and forming a squad they galloped toward the

The following from the Los An geles Herald of Sunday, will be read with interest, as the parties are we'll known to many readers of THE OASIS:

Underground Waters Of SOUTHEAST

A valuable report on the under
ground waters of the Arkansas Val
ley in southeastern Colorado has just
been issued by the United States
Geological Survey as Professional
Paper No. So. The area discussed
IN this publication is limited by the
eastern and southern boundaries OF
the State, by line drawn east and
west through Palmer. and by line
drawn north and south through Can
yon City. In this region there is an
area of considerable extent in which
artesian water is available and in the
last ten years numerous wells have
been sunk to develop this important
resource. The artesisn flows, how
ever, are obtained only in the lower
lands and one of the principal OBJ
jects of the investigation has been
the determination of the area in
which water will rise to the surface
without pumping. As the water
bearing sandstone and the accociat
ed formations do not lie level OF

recently made. At one time sugar
was regarded as 4 luxury, but it has
become a necessity. Its consump-

is still imported, but the growth OF
the home production of beet sugar
is repid. The beet In this year will
yield $4O,OOO,OOO worth of sugar.
Seven years ago the item was only
100000.
Irrigation, as it is extensively sup.
piled, will stimulate the beet-sugar
interests. Colorado now leads with

Throughout the west and in many

The demand for sugar is great and
