REAL ESTATE.
MANY FAMILIES
TO CHANGE HOMES
Few Houses to Be Had and
Real Estate Men Wonder
Where People Will Locate

The real estate market is dull at
this time but great activity is looked
for about the twenty-hfth of the
month. After next week It is predicted
dealers win be kept busy handling the
many sales and transfers that will be
made Moving day is rapidly approach
ing and 1t is estimated that about one
thousand families will change their
present homes. According to the real
estate men there are apout five hun
dred houses to be rented and few OF
these are in locations suitable to the
general run of families and will not
therefore be rented. Just where the
people are going to locate is more than
can be predicted and it is expected
chaos will reign for a time after the
twenty-ffth OF the month.
The Transfers.
The transfers this week are as fol-
lows:

10000 CARS
OF GARDEN TRUCK
Southern Produce Within
Reach Of Residents Of
Small Cities

Nearly 10000 freight cars. were used by
the Pennsylvania Railroad In 1906. in con-
veying perishable goods to Eastern mar
kets through the various gateways Of the
South. These figures show an enormous
increase ia the winter consumption OF
fruits and vegetables. The great Increase
s due to the fact that cabbage. spinach
potatoes. etc. from the South which
formerly were sold in winter almost en-
tirely In large cities. now ind their way
to the tables Of persons OF moderate means
in small towns.
A few years ago fruits and vegetables
from the South were consigned direct to
New York and Philadelphia. Dealers in
surrounding towns were obliged TO buy
in and pay extra freight or express
charges from their markets. owing TO the
deterioration caused by the extra period
In transit these pershahle goods were
used by few families outside of the larger
cities and prices were high
II was ehen seen that the South could
raise enough fruits and Vegetables TO
supply northern cities and towns during
the winter months II they could be more
promptly and cheaply delivered. This ro-
suit was secured by giving all places with.
In radius OF 10 or 100 miSa OF New
York Philadelphia, Baltimore, Whining
ton, Pitlsburg or Buffalo the same rates
as to the larger towns. To-day any dealer
at any place In Pennsylvania. Delaware,
New Jersey or Southern New York can
have carloads OF perlshable goods from
the South consigned and shipped direct 70
him, without having 10 pay the rate 10
New York or Philadelphia plus the rate
to his own town. This policy Of the rail-
roads has vastly increased the winter
traffic in perishable goods, extended the
area OF consumption and given the South
an enormous market for its products.
The operations OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad in this respect give good idea
OF the development that has been brought
about Figures Just compiled show that
while in 1901 but 4S,45S cars were required
to bring the perishable freight through
the various gateways of the South to
northern markets. in 1906 the amount Of
fered for shipment required the use Of
$3.50 cars. II will be seen that there has
been an average increase Of 1000 a year
In the number OF cars moved, with a total
increase OF over 24.ooO for the six years.

than usual interest at the Garrick
Theatre this week. 1t is hardly pos
sible to imagine a more realistic bit
Of stage work than that presented IN

brought into play in this scene with

And there is another side Co this proposition that Is worth consider. ation. Some times through mis- management mines that were good enough have turned out Co be wild cats of the worst kind, to the loss of all who had invested money in their shares. That subject has re- ceived attention in these columns before now. And case in instance has come to the attention of the writer very recently. It is par ticularly refreshing because at one time THE OASIS took occasion to criticise the utterances of the con- sulting engineer of the enterprise. In a newspaper article he had inveighed very pointedly against the loss of money by contiding investors through their faith in ''so- called mining experts" At that time THE OASIS ventured the asser- tion, in reply, that there has been more money lost by mismanage- ment of good mines than by invest ment in worthless properties. That was several years ago. Since then the assertion made in these columns has been substantiated by actual experience in one of the very prop critics of which the gentleman men, toned is consulting engineer. They were developing virgin ground in good property that had yielded great deal of money, and has yet in it's ledge values of great richness. Yet, unless THE OASIS is greatly misinformed, it is remarkable the way money has been wasted by

the man agement in which the gen. tleman cited isan important factor. Among other queer operations as related Co the writer by one who should be conversant with the situa- ton was the work in one part of the mine. There was shaft one hundred feet deep on the ledge. There was run in on the ledge a tunnel to cut sixty feet below the bottom of the shaft. In going in the tunnel encountered good ship ping ore, which was found to con- tinue all the way to the point of intersection with the line of the shaft. They never sunk a winze on that ore body to see if it con- tinued to any depth. At very small cost such a working might have developed great values. Reaching the point of intersection the next move was to connect the shaft and the tunnel. Good management would have dictated that the con- nection be made by an upraise from the tunnel toward the bottom of the shaft. Everything taken out could have been dropped to the tunnel level and run out on car, the most expeditions and eco- nomical method. But, instead, the shaft was sunk to the tunnel level, and every pound of rock taken out was hoisted to the surface-a height of 100 feet at the beginning of the work, and 160 at the finish. Over the simpler way the increased cost footed up a good deal of money.
 In sinking the shaft to the tun-
The oasis., 1907-11-09

nel level there was found conside,. able good shipping ore. For wonder 1t was decided to send tbo, out through the tunnel. And tbe idea was conceived of making ,bo shaft an orebin and ore chute from which to load the car in the tunnel below. About the premises was an old smokestack, several feet in diameter, and sixty feet or there about in height. Across the lower end was large damper, a great disk of iron, in circumference the same size as the inside perphiry of the stack. The stack was let down into the shaft with the lower end and damper foot or so below the roof of the tunnel. To straighten out the shaft so it was possible to let it down to place took several days work by several men. When it was in place securely it was fill ed with ore. Now, had the damper been divided and each half swung on hinge, the scheme would have worked. One side or both could have been dropped, and out would have fallen the ore. But that was overlooked: the damper was left whole; and when the ore was in it wouldn't turn. Consequently it was impossible to get out any of the ore. It had to be hoisted to the collar of the shaft. Could any enactment against "wildcatting" reach mismanagement so gross as that?
