 the figure one in the field notes for
 a figure four, which mistake went
 through all the papers from the
 announcement to the patent. From
 the given starting point that error
 of thirty minutes gave patent to an
 entirely different area of ground
 than the one intended. The true course of the ledge was denounced
 by parties who had bonded the
 property from Mrs. Butterfeld and
 were working in the ledge. They sold to others the property under their own later Announcement, and it passed through several owners to the Black Mountain Mining Com pany. Mrs. Butterfeld entered suit for recovery of the property that she intended denouncing, but lost out in the end.
 We followed up the Libertad cafion an hour and came to the Libertad mine, where we met Mr. H. L. Miller the superintendent who was accompanied by Mir. R. l.. Hogue. Mir. Miller has returned recently to Sonora after an absence of several years passed in Califor- mia and Montana. Work at the mine was abandoned at the time the Yaquis waylaid near Cobache in January 1905 party of eight Americans who were returning to Minas Prietas from a trip to the mine, and killed four of them-Mr. Miller and three others escaping with their lives. About a year ago work was resumed, and in March last MT. Miller returned and again took charge of operations. The company has several good prop critics in two of which work is do- ing. MT. Miller showed us some fine looking copper oxides that had come out from one of the properties which he said assay $363 gold. He stated that when the railway reaches Toledo he will have quite bunch of such ore to ship.
 Passing up the Libertad caiion at the head thereof we came to the famous haterta (orchard) of oranges and bananas, described fully in THE OASIS several years ago. Shortly after my visit at that time the family owning the property went to San Antonio de la Huerta. abandoning their home on account of the Yaqui peril, and through more than four years the orchard has suffered greatly from neglect. Many of the banana plants have died and been cleared away, re. ducing the area fully one-half, but tie orange and lemon trees are thrifty. The owner informed us that she had returned only the preceding day. She had com menced the work of irriga tion al- ready, large spring at the head of the cafion supplying all the water necessary to irrigate the little area about ten acres in extent-into which the cafion widens just at that place.
 At the huerta we rested an hour, fed our animals, and were served a fair meal consisting of eggs, tor tilIos and trJOles, bananas and sdpotes the latter very agreeable fruit about the size of an apple,

 we reached Los Bronces 1t was just sunset, and half an hour later we
 were at San Javier, where we put
 up at very good hotel kept by a
 young woman named Flores. The table was we'll provided, in con- siderable variety, and the viands were we'll cooked, in the American style. Senora Flores served the table herself and gave every guest the most solicitious attention.
 As described in TIE OASIS upon the occasion of former visits, San Javier and Los Bronces have been famous among the richly producing mining camps of Sonora, and the record of production goes back about two centuries. The antiquos conducted exploration to no great depths, and they left great areas of virgin ground that will pay to ex- plore. During the past ten years the camp has received attention by men with modern ideas of mining and modern methods of explora- tion. The result has been develop ment of new and valuable ore bodies in several different quarters. Among the enterprises that have goodly ore bodies developed, ready for stoping and shipment of the ores are the Wyman Mining Com pany, which is said to have in sight in the old Animas mine one dollars worth of good ore; the Ohio Yaqui Mining Company, which has developed fine ore body in property that has been in hand several years; the Gold Coin Santa Rosa Mining Company, with large bodies of high grade ore Tn the old Santa Rosa mine; the Buena Vista mine, which is owned by Messrs. J. F. Williams, of San Javier and w. E. Bradley of Salt Lake, who have developed a very handsome ore body; Fl Carmen Mining Company-C. c. Rountree of La Colorado, president-opera- ting the old Carmen mine at Los Bronces, and several others. The Wyman Mining Company have concentrating mill and have ship- ped concentrates, but suspended on account of the high freight rates caused by the Yaqui troubles.

Norfolk Wins From COLLEGE.

The Norfolk high school football
team went to Wayne Saturday after
noon and defeated the normal eleven
easily, SO to 0. Norfolk made four
touchdowns in the first half and three
in the second half. They only kicked
one goal after a touchdown. Weaver,
Norfolk's fullback, played wonderful
ball; Beeler and Wille's line bucking
was fine, Morrison made some spec
tacular end runs, and, in fact, every
man on the Norfolk team showed a
wonderful improvement in team work
over that of the previous Saturday at
Neigh.
Wayne's team was much heavier
than Norfolk and, although they have
had good practice, they lacked expert
ence.

Most Beautiful illumination Planned

SeGrchlights with m aggregate Of

nate the Hudson river nightly for

bration Mt New York city. Those who
have planned this display assert THAI
II will be the most beautiful lighting
effect IN the history of the world. There
will be battery OF forty powerful
searchlghts, which will occupy more
than block on the yiaduct or extern
sion OF Riverside drive at One Hundred

Hudson river They will be placed 40
feet above the river, and their beams
will bc cast miles up and down that

tratCd Even Fort Washington point
will not be permitted To interfere with
the illumination of the upper stretches
OF the Hudson. The battery of search
lights will be placed SO high they villa
throw their streams clear over Wash

Nor is it the purpose to continc the
2,0000O0000 candle power OF light
merely to the making of white light
for the illumination of the river. Color
effects unrivaled In the history of cele-
brations have been planned by w. D'A-

be placed in front of the lights. Fully
100 feet beyond them there will be-
steam pipes which will send out im
mense plumes Of steam. The steam
itself would be insufficient to form n
curtain on which the lights might
play.
Therefore, to give body to it, i'm
mense quantities of black powder wilR
be burned at the base Of the battery
Of steam pipes, and its smoke and the
smoke from exploding bombs will be
permitted to mix with the steam.
That will make mammoth curtain on

plans call for such smoke and yapoK'

Greoory Man Burned,

Gregory, S. d., Oct. Awhile drain

Blair garage Archie Maxwell was Sc
verely burned on the hands by the
explosion of, the gas which had set
tied On the floor and was ignited by
some one stepping on match. Max
well was under the car when the ex-
plosion came and when they dragged
him out he was mass of flame. They
tried to put it out with their hands.
Just then Mr. Blair came in and
snatched a fire extinguisher and scat
tered the powder around, putting out
the fire. The measure of gasoline
caught fire and was smothered with a
blanket. Smoke rolled out of the
door and a crowd soon collected but
the fire was out. 1t was narrow es-
cape for the man and the shop. Mr.
Blair allows no smoking in or about
the shop and uses only sulphur
matches which cannot be exploded by
stepping on them, but this one hap
pened to be in the carburetter of the
car and dropped on the floor. Case
line gas being heavier than air al
ways lies on the floor and does not &c
out of the window like other gases and
so is doubly dangerous.

First Football Game Here.

The first game of football in Nor
folk was a victory for the Norfolk pick.
up team consisting of majority of
the second team of the high school
eleven, and the seventh and eighth
grades team of the Madison schools.
The score was II to 0 in favor of the
Norfolk team.
The Madison youngsters say al
though they were stronger than Nor
folk they lacked practice and team
work in which Norfolk seemed to have
the better of it. The feature of the
game was the line smashes of Emery
whose fast work netted Norfolk Is
points. Lucas also featured in fake
punt making the score 20. The other
score was made on goal kick. An
other match between these two teams
is expected in the near future.
