The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma.
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather, permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth

Ambrose Burbank was in the to
bacco business in Henderson, Ky, in
war times and made a great deal OF
money. He lost some of it during
the war and finally decided to come
to New York. His friends and rela'
tives supposed he lost all he had, but
he had not been long here before he
began to invest sums in Southern
municipal and state bonds, As they
accumulated, he placed them in a box
in the vaults OF the safe deposit com
pany, He used to cut the coupons
himself, always demonding payment
in gold, which he stored away in an
other box in the vaults.

cumulated to pay for For years the
miser lived thus in a single room, APP
parently almost in poverty.
Burbank never married and his
nearest relatives were some cous-
ins and nephews. He died in 1901 at
the age OF SO, leaving a will naming
Caleb R. Burbank, his nephew, and
George H. Southard as executors, A
will drawn in 1889 was produced
in which Burbank was made resi-

quests 1t now appears that when the

brought suit against Burbank and
Southard, demanding that they be
compelled to turn over to her $780,,

her claims upon letters written to her
by him.

THE RYALL CONCESSION
Taken Over by Strong Corporation Which Will Exploit to the Best Ad- vantage the Great Mineral Wealth Therein.

Two or three weeks ago HE OASIS published a clipping from the New York Commercial Advertiser con veying the intelligence that the great Ryall concession in Sonora had been taken over by strong company organized for the special purpose, which will handle it in such way that there will result the greatest benefit to one of the richest mineral regions in the state of Sonora. The list of incorporators and directors included in the arti- cle mentioned is guarantee of the truth of the assertion.
 The concession named was grant ed by the Mexican government to MT. George M. Ryali 4 New York and it gives that gentleman ex- elusive rights for prospecting and developing any and all mineral ground not already appropriated within great area out in the Ya- qui river region, which embraces within its limits some of the most ancient and famous of the dntig,td mining camps which made Sonora so widely famous as one of the richest mineral regions in the world. The area described within the boundaries of the concession is an irregular quadrangle in it's general form and includes all the region between the Tecoripa and Yaqui rivers, beginning at the confluence of the two streams near Cumaripa, and extending up both rivers a distance of about seventy miles, to point near Soyopa on the Yaqui river, and about forty miles to Te- eoripa on the stream of that same name. The line defining the north ern limit of the concession, extend ing from Tecoripa northeastward to Soyopa, is between forty and fifty miles in length. The forego- ing rough description will serve to show that the concession embraces great area of country, and that the
 EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGES
 granted therein must be of neces- slty of tremendous value. While embraced in it's area are many rich mines that have been great producers in the past, it'is conceded universally that the region has been hardly scratched over. and that there are yet to be discovered and developed many valuable prop ertles, while many of the old dnti- g@a producers are now public prop erty, open to Announcement, and subject to the terms of the conces- sion.
 Among the famous mining camps and mines within the boundaries oi the concession may be mentioned pan Javler, Los Bronces, La Bar fanca, Las Goteras, La Libertad, 9an Antonio de la Huerta, Soyopa Heallto, Nopalera, San Felipe, etc.
 Ohe of the most famous of the ola camps in Sonora has been that at San Javier, which is nestled in @ charmlng and beautiful basin ,.y!ng between the San Javier noun . .a!h and Los Bronces peaks. In o on,s camp mining has been in toUFSe ot prosecution far more than '"o centuries, and many of the

LlKe Ine CdHdHed the h6allt0 while originally rich silver mine, is but small part of the rich min eral possibilities of the Realito region. The rich silver ledge in La Colorado lies in an immense matrix of copper A great out burst of manganese and iron four miles long and 200 to 1000 feet in width follows the crest of the ridge wherein is the Colorado ledge. Wherever that is sampled it yields 1 1% to 14% copper, and in work ings there have been found bould- CTS that assayed high in copper. With depth it is considered very probable that there will be found great bodies of high grade sulphide copper ores. About midway of the great ledge described a deep canyon cuts down through the ridge to depth of 250O feet. A tunnel that distance in either direction would be the same distance under cover, and tue company holding the prop erty intend testing the proposition at the earliest opportunity. This property is denounced now under the name of the Realito de Cobre, and is under the ownership of the Realito Copper, Gold X Silver Min ing Company.
 Other antigua mines in the Realito country that have made great records are the Refugio, Rosario and Desierto; also the San Felipe.
 Following on down clear to Cumaripa, at the lower end of the concession, there are many deposits frequently bearing evidence of hav- ing been worked in the antigua days.
 Over upon the Tecoripa river, from Cumaripa all the way up to Suaqui Grande there are thousands of acres of

 Above Suaqui Grande, running north and south through the ridge on the east side of the Valley of the Tecoripa river, is a great ledge of white quartz, of varying width, but large always, that may be traced a distance of many miles. Wherever it has been sampled assays have yielded about $1.5O per ton in gold. Doubtless that is the source and feeder of the placer gold fields found along the Tecori- pa river as described.
 The foregoing is but running commentary upon the great min eral resources of the vast region included within the area of the Ryall concession. The half has not been told, nor would it be possible to describe one. half within the limited space of single issue of THE OASIS.

mines which produced richly more than two hundred years ago are yet producing. Among these may be mentioned the Animas mine, the Rosario, the Nina Grande, the Nauhuila and the Santa Rosa.
 Tradition, supported by records, goes to show that the Animas was worked more than 220 years ago by Spaniard named Pifia. Tradi- tion states also that during Piha's ownership and operation a cave occurred in the lower workings, burying sixty miners, whose re- mains were never recovered, but continued entombed where over- taken by their horrible fate. When there is recalled the recent very expensive yet successful efforts to rescue men entombed by caves in mines in Nevada and California, the reader will be prone to believe that things were done far differ ently in antigua days than now. And so they were; not only with regard to such unfortunate occur. ences as that related, but in all the details of mine management, ore extraction and reduction, which will explain why so many mines that the dntig,tOs abandoned as worked out are made to yield now in far richer degree than before; and itis done through the modern alchemy given by improved ma chinery, accurate methods and close application of scientific prin- ciples.
 About forty years ago the Ami mas was worked by an Ecuadorean named Alsua, who is reputed to have taken a fortune out from an inclined shaft that is shown the visitor. In fact the works of both Pina and Alsua are connected with the present workings, and they show that tradition has not ex- aggerated the extent of the ore bodies. While Pifia and Alsua, and those between them
 EXTRACTED FORTUNES
 from the depths of the Animas mine, they did not get all that was there by great deal, as has been shown by the experience of the present owners, who have opened large ore bodies and erected a fine mill for their reduction.
 Eastward from San Javier, and on the other side of the basin, lies Los Bronces which is another fa- nous calup, which was also scene of operations by Mr. Alsua. He developed many of the mines in the vicinity, and erected large benefcio (lixiviation plant) the ruins of which are yet in evidence. Not only was the benefcio used for treatment of the ores from Alsua's mines, but the plant did customs business, reducing the ores from other mines in the vicinity and also from mines elsewhere in the very area now held under the Ryall concession. Many of the Alsua mines are being worked again now. Upon the east side of the San Antonio mountain, over toward the Yaqui river, some ten or twelve miles from the San Javier and Los Bronces basin lies the Prieta canon, along which are the Nina Grande, La Libertad and other valuable mines, some of which are yet work ing. and all worth working.

If all the holes sunk along the bottom of the cafion, which holes have been washed to mere pits and de- pressi0ns, were sunk at the same time, there were seven thousand people there surely.
 The Prieta canon is deep gorge icut down through the shales, states and porphyry on the east side of the San Antonio mountains, bear ing every evidence of high miner alization.
 At the river is the town of San Antonio de la Huerta, just below which are the ruins of an old re- duction plant that treated ores from mines in the vicinity.
 Southeast from San Javier and upon the other side of Los Bronces peaks, some eight or ten miles lies La Barranca, and near that place is Las Goteras, both seats of good mining.
 In the extreme northeast corner of the Ryall concession is the old town of Soyopa, long the seat of an active and profitable mining activ- ity. Near there is the San Miguel mine, where are to be seen today more than three thousand feet of underground workings, made by the amtigaos, in the extraction of large bodies of rich ore. Near the town are the ruins of the old reduc- tion plant that was employed in reducing ores from the San Miguel.
 Passing down the river from Soyopa, through San Antonio de la Huerta, there is reached Toledo, a point where a customs smelter has been erected to treat ores from mines in the vicinity. Cost of freighting coke into the place mill itetes against its operation now, but with advent of the railway now building up the Yaqui river, that will be obviated.
 Passing on down the river from Toledo about twenty miles one comes to the San Felipe mountain, a lofty peak of porphyry, whose red summit is conspicuous object in the landscape, visible for miles around. Near there are the Reali- to, San Felipe and other valuable mines.
 The Colorado, which lies near the crest of a high ridge that lies about two miles westward from the town of Realito, on the Yaqui river, is property that was worked last by a man named Acosta, in 1S49 or therea bout. He is said to have extracted some very rich silver ore, and the evidence that he did so is accommodating. In 1850 Acosta was seized with the Cali fornia fever, and went to the golden state, where he died. He intended returning from California. To pre- vent theft of the rich ores he had standing in the mine, Acosta caved the shaft so no one could enter. The present owner of the property, the Realito Copper, Gold & Silver Mining Co.,, has run a tunnel in below the old workings of Acosta, and with an upraise have got into the chambers he made; and there, just as described by tradition, there have been found the rich ores left by Acosta. When the railway reaches Realito (its end of track is

iy declared that he is in favor of the
same and will do his utmost for the
enforcement of the law.
That our purpose in life is to urge
