Mr.. Livingston house is a haven of
rest. He is miner, doctor, thinker
and chief head Democrat for the
region. He has every copy of the
Commoner and Courier journal,
and can prove to you that the pre-
sent Democratic party is embodi-
ment of the principles as handed
down by the late Thomas Jefferson
of Virginia, and make you believe
it, to boot. The company and It's
allied companies have several very
promising gold and silver-copper
properties and at present are driv-
ing short tunnel to reopen their
old workings at the silver-copper
mine near the company headquar-
ters at La Noria.
Mr.. Livingston has several fine
properties in his own name. We
had dinner with Mr.. Livingston
and bidding him hearty good bye
we left for the Jacalitos mine put
ting up for the night at the Wilson
ranch. Practically all the ranches
therea abouts are owned by men
whose fathers were Americans or
Germans who came into the coun-
try about the close of the civil war,
married and settled down. Arriv-
ing in Jacalitos in the forenoon,
we had dinner with Mr.. J. j. Smith
and Mr.. Charley Smith, president
and superintendent of the Jacalitos
Mining Co. The machinery for the
mill is nearly all at the mines and
| the pipe line is already laid. The
old mill built by Mr.. Clemente
Ibarra and still standing was down
at the arroyo, but pumping plant
is being installed and water will be
pumped to the new mill which will
be located at the mine.

tory ores and metal will be extract

Eastward in the Alamos district
THE OASIS correspondent covers
one small career. Last week THE
OASIS correspondent left Alamos
for the eastern part of the district
on business, and to get better ac-
auainted with its mines and enter
prises. After travelling the better
part of day at evening ne arrived
at the Guiricoba ranch about forty
miles from town.
The Guiricoba ranch lies in an
immense valley surrounded on all
sides by lofty mountains, and is
owned by Mr.. Hardy and asso-
ciates of Boston. 1t is under the
management at present Of Mr..
William Miller who has owned and
and managed ranches in Arizona
and Mexico for many years. The
ranch has fine grazing the year
around, the cattle feeding in the
valley in summer and in winter
they seek the mountains where
the grass is still long and putri-
cious. The ranch supports a good
many families whose corn fields
show as big yellow patches on the
mountain side.
The creeks that run through the
valley are lined with lofty sabinas
(cedars) which furnished good
timber for the mines near by.
At present the ranch is only
partly stocked. However Mr..
Hardy is expected down in short
time, and the ranch will probably
be fully stocked and good fence
built enclosing the entire area.
In one of the mountains fronting
the ranch house, which lies in the
valley, is El Pobre copper mine
also owned by Mr. Hardy and hav-
ing quite lot of development
done on it. The mountains are all
highly mineralized and there is
quite number of announcements
filed on the ranch.
At the ranch the correspondent
was joined by Sr. Federico Torres
graduate engineer of Chapultepec
and engineering associate of Sr
Francisco Salido.
After a good sound sleep at the
ranch Sr. Torres and the cores
pondent left for the Baboyahu
placers where Sr. Torres was bounC
to do some survey work.
Passing through gap in th'
mountains they left the Guiricobi
ranch behind them and came t

two miles being worked,out as. bed
rock could be gotten in any place.
However below the junction of the
Cahada and Baboyahui arroyos
there is always running water com
ing in from the Caiada, and in
order to reach bed rock where the
greater part of the gold lies it is
necessary to have a long drainage
canal; the arroyo having very
little fall having worn itself down
with canyon walls. The arroyo
has been situated in remote local
ity and only lately have it placer
resources been exploited.
Mr.. William Bradley as manager
for an American company at Qua
micellar a point about mid way in
the arroyo, with centrifugal sand
pump took out several thousand
dollars in a place no larger than
an ordinary room. High water
came and the manager and the
company had a falling out and
work was suspended.
Last year within a stones throw
of the same place two Americans
Mr.. ]. E. McCardy and Mr.. Clay
Montgomery with only rocker
took out from three to five ounces
a day. The arroyo is workable
only about half the year and high
water came and drove them out
just as they struck very rich pay
streak. They are getting prepared
to do work on a bigger scale this
year.
A company consisting of Mexico
City men are planning to put in q
steam shovel in the Jupacari basin
which is about four miles from tht
the arroyo's mouth. At present
they are endeavoring to oust every
BODY on stretch of about si1
miles on a claim of pre.denounce
ment, but is very doubtful if they
will succeed. Below the Jupacar
basin about a mile the ground i
owned by Mr.. Harry Clapp o
Chicago who has also some valu
able ground in the Cafiada arroy,
above. Below there the ground j
+, owned by Mr.. I. Cavenaugh also o
J Chicago. Here the gravel drop

. paratory to putting in dredge.

ging high profitable.
The gold of the Baboyahui arrayo
is very coarse running from size OF
a pin head up to ounce nuggets.
Amalgamation is not used, the
black sand being separated from
the gold in pans or "batellas." A
batella is large wooden chopping
bowl and the natives are very pro-
ficient in its use. Platinum is en-
countered in small quantities.
Wherever the high bed rock
would permit the natives entered
the arroyo to the water level and
worked out the gold but in the
main channel where there is
always water the ground is
virgin. The correspondent and
Sr. Torres spent several days on
the arroyo and visits were exchangd
with Mr.. Harry Rab of Mexico
City, who is on the arroyo in the
interests of his company, the So
nora Gold Placer Mining Co. Mr..
Rab is also president of the Asien-
tos Copper Co., of Aguacalientes,
and knows the mining business
from A to z, besides being a very
pleasant gentleman to meet.
Within about two miles to the
north of the arroyo is the Pichi-
cuati gold mine; at present the mine
and mill being shut down prior to
a REIMBURSEMENT of the company
affairs in the states. The mine has
suffered for lack of a competent
man to manage it.
| Still further to the north about
mile is the Limon Hacienda the
center of one of the biggest mining
activities in the state. Mr.. Edward
Tufts and associates have spent
thousands ofdollars buying ranches
and mines in the vicinity of Limon
They bought the Baboyahui, Jupa-
carl and Satriki ranches and lately
they bought large tract of lane
in the vicinity of Choix, just across
the line in Sinaloa. They have
numerous mines the most promin
ent being the San Francisco, Mr.. G

Beads.

Apropos Of beads, etymologists tell us
the word comes from the rosaries
which from time immemorial have
been used to keep count Of prayers, for
"biddan" is to pray In the old Anglo
Saxon tongue. and "beadsman" Is one
employed to pray for others. "Be-
odan," to proclaim, is kindred word
and has its outcome in the bidding
prayer of our universities, when pious
founders are remembered to the edit
cation Of graceless undergraduates and

Ann Arbor, Mioh., Sept 21.-Fol-
lowing the verdict in the death of En-
gineer George Groh charging Ann Ar
Dor railroad officials with neglecting
to maintain proper repairs, Coroner
S. w. Birshtield took steps which may
lead to the arrest of officials and pro-
secution ON criminal charges. Groh
met his death several weeks ago by
the explosion of an old boiler of his
engine.
T. N. Suter, boiler maker for 35
years, was a witness in the Inquest
and declared he had never seen so
bad a job OF repairing as on the boi-
Ter which exploded. There were
many defects in the work, he said,
and the engine should have been
in the repair shops, in his opinion.
o., X. Button, of Ypsilanti, a mechan-
ical engineer, also gave testimony
damaging to the railroad.
Railroad employees we're also on
the stand and denied that the engine
was in need of repairs. John o.
Laughlin, of Owosso, roadmaster,
however, gave significant testimony
in saying that "all railroads have
been running their roads with as little
expense as possible during the past
year."
81 will take the matter up with the
railroad commission" said Coroner
Burchfield after the verdict had been
returned. There was clearly neg
ligence somewhere, and it seems to
me There ought to be prosecution of
those responsible.

Obligations of Civil War.

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great civil war. There was
still greater debt, an everlasting obli-
CATION that could never be paid In full.
But in the years that have followed,
the Republican party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system, a
product Of the policy Of the Republican
party, has no precedent in history and
no equal in justice and generosity
among the nations of the earth.-Hon.

AN ANECDOTE OF KEAN.
How One Actress Won and Anoths,
Lost His Good Opinion.


Lost His Good Opinion.
Kean possessed an inordinate love OF
praise even from his humblest wor,
shippers. says the London Taller Dur,
ing his brilliant management Of the
Princess theater one of the ballet girls
who sometimes was given a few lines
to speak and who knew her managers
failing used to haunt the wings and
go into audible raptures over the TRACE
dams acting.
He was playing with great success a
pathetic part, and tears flowed down
the cheeks of the cunning girl, who
eventually attracted personal notice
from the actor. Soon she found her,
self promoted to a superior position.
Her advancement of course was no.
ticed by her companions, and to her
greatest friend among them she told
her secret. advising the girl to follow
her example.
Nothing loath, No. appeared al
the wings and almost howed with
grief through Kean's chief scenes
when, to her amazement, he strobe an.

exclaimed, "Who is that idiot?' She
did not improve her position, for since
the advice Of her knowing friend the
bill had been changed, and her man
ager was appearing in one Of his most
successful comic parts.

HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M'KINLEY.

The Manner in Which the Republi-
can Candidate Was Called to q
Larger Sphere of Action.
One afternoon early In 1900, when
Judge William H. Taft was debating
a decision of the United States Court
in the Federal Building In Cincinnati,
a telegram was placed In his hands.
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find a telegram from Pres.-
dent William Mckinley, reading:
81 shall take it as a great favor If you
win call on me some time next week."
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the summons and guessed wrong.
He went to Washington and was shown
into room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long Of the Navy. Later, Elihu Root,
the Secretary Of War, came In. Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
"Mr. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me 10 the Philippines to help in the
work Of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. l thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be-
sides, l believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
"'But we have them and must take
care OF them the President replied.
"'You are at the turning Of the ways
in your life,' Mr.. Root then observed
The bench is the easy road. You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
Of doing your country q very great ser
vice. went home, and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
The telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door Of American history to Will
liam II. Taft and made him the Repub-
lican candidate for President Of the
United States.
