Mr. and Mrs. c. P. Pearson, for merly at Minas Prietas. It is Mrs. Richmond's intention to leave her little son and elder daughter at Stafford, to attend the schools there.
 Mir. Richmond had gone over to the main shaft, and after 6 little visit at the camp the wayfarer sallied forth in quest of the gentle man. Upon the road over he met Johnny Costello, who had some fine samples of ore from his Little Johnnie mine, that he was taking in to have assayed. He has his shaft down seventy feet, in good ore.
 At the main shaft was Mir. H. NJ. Clagett, of Roy & Titcomb, at Nogales, who has been out at the camp some three weeks Booming into town Sundayo), engaged in the work of installation of a new boiler. He had the job completed, and expected to leave for home the following day.
 MT. Richmond had gone on to the Black Cap, about mile and a half up the cafion, and on the direct road that was to be travelled by the program for the day. So, after passing the compliments of the day with Mir. Clagett and Mir. Tonkin, the mine foreman, the journey was resumed. At the Black Cap were MT. Richmond, MT. $. E. Hunter, the foreman at that working, MT. M. V. Hoyt, and c. E. Douthitt, hoist engineers, and Mir. Porter, timberman. As noted elsewhere, this working Is new, but within short time there has been a great deal accomplished. An account of the work done and doing in the Mansfield Camp ap- pears in another column.
 Declining pressing invitation to remain and go back to the camp to lunch the scribe continued his journey up the canyon, to the top of the divide, and down the west side of the mountain to the Wan dering Jew mine, reaching that point at one o'clock. Work there has been suspended of late, but Mark Lulley is arranging for it's resumption in the near future.
 All along the traveller had been 'admonished that he would get vet, but none of the storms predicted had materialized; except there at the Jew. Just as he was leaving the mine a gentle rain commenced descending, and it lasted until the canyon below was reached. A good slicker proved blessing.
 The next stop was at the Alto Camp, where the wayfarer was greeted cordially and made at home by Mir. and Mrs. c. W. Harter. Realizing that both men and horses become hungry at times Mir. Harter put up the beast and fed him both hay and barley, while Mrs. Harter devoted herself to setting forth an appetizing lunch to which full justice was done.
 Just above the Alto Camp is the Bland mine, where Messrs. Heck, Carve and Powers have resumed operations. A new stone house is in course of construction, the walls are finished, and the roof and in- terior finishing are going on and in now. Until completed MT. and Mrs. Heck occupy one of the cot

WAYSIDE NOTES.
"The Oasis" Man Upon a Little Jsunt About the Patagonis and Santa Rita Mountains.

Mounting an animated speci- men of church architecture" as was won't Orpheus C. Kerr Ralph H. Newell) one of the early Amer ican humorists to describe his steed, THE OASIS man linked" out from Nogales Tuesday to look about the Patagonia and Santa Rita mountains bit, to renew acquaintance among old friends, to make as many new friends as pos sible, and to find out for readers of THE OASIS what is going on gen. erally.
 Rocking along at a goodly gait the scribe overlook beside the San ta Cruz Mir. R. H. Clarke Sr., of Nogales, with his freight team and load Ii. e. the wagon had load, not Clarke), and his boy Alex was driving. They were just about to go into camp for the monday meal; and as the scribe was in- formed that "his name was in the pot" he reached quickly conclu- sion that he had discovered a good place to stop; which he did straight way. In very short time there was served cup of excellent coffee, piping hot and burdening the air with all the famed aroma of "Araby the blest;" fine tenderloin steak, broiled over the coals; a rasher of crisply fried bacon; a plate of Boston baked beans; and some good bread. To that meal dvspeptic could have done full iustice and when set before one with first class digestion and a ravenous appetite, none of the fra grant and appetizing viands re- mained long. The way they disap- peared recalled the admonition of Lady Macbeth to the guests when her liege lord began seeing things" at the banquet: Stay not upon the order of your going; but go at once." Being a Scotchman Mir. Clarke appreciated the metaphor, whereupon the scribe told him "a wee narrative" wherein there figured conspicuously pair of Mackin- toshes, and leaving him with his guffaws waking the echoes, the editor clambered upon the ridge pole of the aforesaid animated specimen of church architecture" and skated up the road toward the crossing at the Harrison ranche.
 Without anything further worthy of note the scribe piloted his "braw steed" (the Scotch influence i'm parted by Mir. Clarke continues to hang) up the Havalena canon to the camp of the National Consoli- dated Mining Company, where he was welcomed heartily by the su- perintendent MT. George D. Gross. With Mir. Gross there was at the camp MT. Oscar E. Porter of Chi cago, who is president of the com pany, and had stopped few days ten route to California; to look over the work. While MT. Porter was writing some letters MT. Gross showed ye editor over some of the mining ground; and after supper MT. Porter and MT. Gross carried on, until bedtime, very animated conversation, punctuated frequent y by the resonant snoring of the urea newspaper man. It was his

Rising early Wednesday nom ing the editor hustled out Mir. Gross to get an early brea kfast, which being despatched the "ani- mated specimen of church archi- lecture" was put again into commits sion, and set to climbing the hills toward Washington Camp, passing en route the home of Mir. R. T. Rankin, who, however, was away from home. (Bob don't know what he missed
 At Washington camp things seemed quiet and most of the people seemed away from home. Most of the work is going on at Duquesne, about a mile away across the mountain. Not having time to go over there the scribe proceeded to skate his steed toward Mowry, stopping at the Gross place to call, anu finding no one at home there, learning later that Mrs. Gross had gone to Nogales. Stopping at Mowry an hour to rest and feed his horse the editor had a pleasant call at the home of Mir. o. Phelps, who did the honors.
 Mowry is very quiet now, the only work being done Is sinking to get below the old workings.
 Leaving the Worlds Fair camp to one side a couple of miles and continuing down the main road the Hardshell mine was passed, where there is being run a long tunnel to cut the ore body at depth of several hundred feet.
 Taking the road again the rider skated along to Harshaw, meeting on the road MT. G. W. Fisher, a pioneer in the region, who has re- turned recently after considerable absence. At Harshaw short stop was made, and then the writer "hiked" to "The Basin," to call on George Wieland; and to his sur prise he found there Mike Doyle of Nogales, who has turned to be a miner, and had been out there about four months, losing to the line city the most efficient cocktail compounder anywhere along the border.
 MT. Wieland was greatly elated over new strike he has made in his Dewey mine-high grade galena rich in silver. Work upon the mine in which he is interested with Theo. Gebler, the pioneer hardware merchant of Nogales, is making a very satisfactory showing also.
 MT. Wieland has had his family at the camp in "the Basin" but was arranging to bring them home to Nogales tomorrow.
 Leaving "the Basin" the scribe made lis way down the draw to the main road, which he had left at Harshaw. A short distance be- low the junction ot the two roads he met Chris B. Wilson with one of his fourteen mule freight teams, hauling a load to the Morning Glo- ry mine, of which mention is made elsewhere. Chris stated that he has secured a very favorable freight rate on ores to Globe, to take effect August 9th.
 At the Santa Cruz camp the scribe stopped to call upon MT. T. N. Cox the superintendent for the Arizona x Pittsburg Mining X Smelling Company, which is developing the New Years Gift mine, the shaft house, gallows
The oasis., 1907-08-03

About mile below the camp of the Arizona & Pittsburg Company there is the thrifty orchard of Mir. James Brash. Much of the fruit was destroyed by the late frosts this year; but from the road one could see that the apple trees are bearing and will produce some fruit.
 Riding into Patagonia at an hour approaching the evening the horse was sidetracked at James Kane's stable and the writer set about visiting among his many friends.
 Mr.J. A. Spink is with the Wash ington Trading Company, and states that he likes the town and his new position.
 Billy Powers was on deck as usual. Billy is developing the Chief group of mines, near the Morning Glory, in which property he has sublime faith.
 Lee Reagan of Nogales was at Patagonia, as was also Mir. T. F.. Mcintyre, the real estate agent and insurance man of Nogales.
 Having had sufficient riding for a day the animated specimen of church architecture" was delivered over to Mir. James Kane, to be cared for in his corral, while the writer put up at the Commercial hotel, conduted now by MT. Her man Inderleid, who knows how, very evidently, to run a hotel.
 Looking about Patagonia one cannot fail to note the life and progress on all sides. With develop ment of the Santa Rita and Pata- gonia mountain regions the town forges ahead.
 Thursday morning the horse was saddled again, and the editor set out upon the final days journey, which was planned to be long one, the route to make a great sweep through the principal points in the Santa Rita mountains, and home to Nogales via Calabasas, a distance of more than forty miles, over rough andrugged road, many miles of the distance being rocky and precipitous trails. It was a job to try both horse and rider.
 From Patagonia northward it was noticed quickly that there had not been as much rain as had wis ited the Patagonia mountain re- gions, and the grass is not near so luxuriant and thrifty in its growth; but still the rainfall had been sufficient to make good growth, and the cattle are in fine condition. As the rainy season has some time to run yet there is no doubt that the later rains will give an abun- dance Of feed for the grazing herds.
 Reaching Mansfield Camp after a ride of a couple of hours, the visitor was greeted warmly by MT. E. H. Evans, manager of the store. Mir. Evans was with THE OASIS a couple of years, and the gentleman stands high in the estimation of THE OASIS people. He continues to maintain his fine reputation as first class business man.
 A call was made upon Mrs. A. B. Richmond, wife of the general manager of the Mansfield Com pany, in her new home, com modious and we'll appointed bun galow, built since the last visit of the scribe to the camp. The lady
