GOOD WORDS
For the Sonora Region From a Noted
 London Newspaper.

to its readers the following account of the Sonora mining industry that will interest readers of THE OASIS:
 There are an increasing number of South African and Australian engineers and technical men now engaged in the Mexican mining fields, and particularly in Sonora. This fact, considered with the al- ready existing preponderance of American engineers in the business, gives to the engineering practice of the country the advantage of a diversified and varied experience, gleaned from the knowledge of three continents.
 Mir. F. G. Foreshaw, the man. ager of the Barranca Mines Mex ico), has returned from Europe. Developments have not been stand ing still during his absence, and it is said that the opening up of the new sixth level more than confirms his opinion that Barranca will soon be one of the big things in Sonora. The machinery which is being erected has adopted the newest ideas of the "slimes" process. The economy and efficiency of this method of treatment is particularly suitable to the Barranca Mines, and the large reserves of high grade ore already opened up must soon result in satisfactory profits for the proprietors.
 The Lluvia del Orc Shower of Gold) Mine in Western Chihuahua, was discovered in 1900 by Bernardo Garcia, who had established him. self in that place as merchant for the express purpose of finding the rich gold ore the Indians brought to the traders. Two years after it's discovery the mine was sold for $1,760,000. It is located some few miles to the North East of Bar ranca. (sic.)
 Sonora is experiencing greater revival in mining than any other part of Mexico, partly due to the abundance of its mineral deposits, but chiefly due to the building of many lines of railroad furnishing transportation facilities.
 The Alamos Silver-Copper Com pany, Aduana, Sonora, is putting its Promontorio Mine in shape for large output of ore. The main ore body is from 20 to 40 it. wide, and averages S5 OF. of silver and 24&o of copper. It stands vertically and is opened by an adit that gives a depth of 300 it. There are also workings extending 300 it. below this level
 The Wyman Mining Company, owning the old Animas Mines at San Javier, Sonora, estimates the value of the ore now blocked out at $1,000,000. The concentrating plant will be placed in commission as soon as the railroad reaches To- ledo. This is another property likely to do credit to the Barranca district.
 The Candelero Mining Company owns property adjoining the Bar ranca (Mexico), and are working the rich series of reefs found in that district, and has just started up the mill.' The Candelero man. ager is now shipping concentrates showing values of 2 oz. of gold and

worth the saying again. Romance is
not dead. Take a single day recently
and learn how much of romance is
about us always.
A husband after twenty-one years
away from his wife, returns to sue
cor her from penury when the man
she married after she believed her
first hunsband dead, had been put in
Jail. That is a greater story than
Enoch Arden.

bottom of a wrecked yacht were res

who came to Philadelphia to join her
brother, was to have been deported,
but public spirited citizens, reading
of her plight in the newspapers, raised
a fund and gave bond that she would
be properly cared for in sanitarium,
and she was admitted.
That's only 1.-THE of one days
news, but it fairly sings with ro-
nance. And every day such stories
are printed and forgotten, while men
and women look back and sigh for the
good old days Of romance"
Yet, just as the activities in the good
old days were fewer and the fields of
endeavor smaller, romance had less
manifold forms, and, being rare, is
remembered now. So marvelously
frequent is the romance of today that
none can keep account of it.-Poca-

The people under the north side
project of the Boise-Payete project
are preparing to face both ways. If
the secretary of the interior turns
them down, they propose to organize
that they form an irrigation district
or put the matter under the control
of a private enterprise. Looking to
this end filings were made on the
waters of the Payette river for 5000
second feet, and on the Boise river
for 1000 second feet, Monday for pow
er and irrigation purposes. The point
of diversion on the Payette lie near the
Black canyon. The filings cover
200, 900 acres. BY this step the north
siders expect to amply protect their
water rights in case the government
can not proceed at once with the irri-
cation of the Payette portion of the
project.
The water was filed upon in the
names of the executive committee o
the Northside as follows: Walter R
Cupp, w. B. Compton, w. S. Hawkes.
w. B. Sawyer, H. e. Peterson, A. H
Albertson and L. e. Bebb.

DON'T LIKE THE RULING

There is much dissatisfaction with
the new ruling of Secretary Ballinger
in relation to the disposal of land
under the Uuited States Irrigation
project. 1t appears that under this
ruling the homesteader does not have
the right to dispose of the surplus
land he has in order to reduce his
holdings to the farm unit which he
will be permitted to hold. Unless the
directors of the Water Users associa-
ton take some action to have the rul-
ing modified it is up to the ranchers
to get together and see what they
can do.
If the ruling stands as it now is re-
ported it means a practical confisca-
ton of the land of a great many
homesteaders. A number of people
living on these lands have expressed
themselves that this matter is serious
enough to command the earnest atten-
ton of any director who has the in
terest of the homesteader at heart
1t has been expressed that the man
who improves the land makes possible
the development of the country.
