Cold Output of the World VIII be
 Increased.

Reports from experts in all the great gold producing districts of the world would indicate a greater yield of the yellow metal than in any previous period.
 Of course, there are no authentic figures yet available; but, taking current estimates made by those who know whereof they speak, the production promises to reach we'll above the highest point yet at- tained. Mexico, for this year, will make an exceptionally fine show ing, and it is believed that Alaska will beat her own record of pre- vious output. It is predicted that the South African fields will come up to their usual average if not above it, and from far-off Siberia comes a most sanguine statemen t of gold production. There is little to indicate a lessening of the gold production in the United States, and if it reaches it's usual high re. cord of production, and the coun. tries above named achieve all that is expected, we may con6- dently look for a notable change in the figures of the worlds pro- duction.

Why Are They Going So Far7

It is reported from Douglas, Ariz., that unless the Southern Pacific soon makes arrangements to continue work on its Yaqui river extension in Sonora and build the projected line along the Bavispe river in that state, the owners of mines in the Tigre and Tabatalochi sections of Sonora will take steps to erect a central reduc- ton plant near the head waters of the Yaqui. The report says:
 "For a long time the mine own- CTS in the Tigre and Tabatalochi district have been petitioning the Southern Pacific to complete the proposed line into these camps. All the mines are located on the other side of the mountain divide east of the Nacozari railroad, and all ores mined have to be hauled over the Tigre and other trails to Isabel or Calabazas. The Lucky Tiger Mining company is now erecting a concentrating plant for the treating of it's low grade gold silver ores, and has contracted with the Copper Queen company for 900 horse power with which to generate electric power for this new mill. The Cinco de Mayo and Roy mines, which recently resumed operations in the Tigre field, will take 150 horsepower of this amount. In addition to these

Fair Office Very Busy Place.

The office of Secretary Christy Oki the Territorial Fair Commission has been one of the busiest places in Phoenix for weeks past. Pres ident Hugh Campbell of the com mission has been in the city often, enthusiastically working on the many problems that are constantly arising. The result of all this act ivity will be that the Fair this year will excel any previous effort. Since the last Fair the grounds. have become the property of the territory and extensive improve ments are under way and projected for the future. If President Camp bell were asked what department would excel this year he would be at & loss for a reply for the im- provement has been material in all departments. The new officials of the fair include the two named and E. R. Pirtle of Douglas, and A. L.. Moore of this city, are determined to make this fair record breaker and it is safe to predict that every one who visits the fair this season will realize that they have delfvsss6 the goods.

Alice SnodRrsss.

The Mexican Herald of the 14th inst, had the following telegram that will interest readers of THE OASIS:
 Pachuca, Oct. 13.-Phil. c. Snodgrass, an engineer in the construction depart ment of the Santa Gertrudis company at this place, has just been informed of the death of his only daughter Alice, which occurred in Tampico at 10 a. m. yesterday. The late Miss Snodgrass was twenty years of age.
 Some ten years ago MT. Snod- grass resided in Nogales, and the young lady, then a child was known we'll to the residents of that time.
 MT. Snodgrass was a millwright who erected a number of reduction plants in Sonora and Sinaloa.

mines, Henry c. Carr has now completed the grouping of eleven mining properties under the Mex ican holding corporation known as the Sonora Exploration compa~ ny. These include the Antigua. an old silver mine, which is now 8 rich copper proposition. El Tenn blor, which has developed a good body of high grade silver and gold of the same character as the Tigrer the Texas, opened also with fine showings; the Last Chance, New York and others in the same dis trict, some of them extensions, and others separate properties.
 As the "headwaters of the Ya- qui"-the junction of the Aros and Mulatos rivers, are about one hundred miles from El Tigre in an air line, and much farther by any route travelled, THE OASIS. wonders what is the meaning of the foregoing. Are the people in the Tigre region really going to put upa plant so far away-or do they mean they will erect their plant down on the Bavispe river, s dozen miles away from the mines ?

Mining and Territorial Fair.

It will be noted that Arizona, one of the greatest mining states in the Union, is to have a Territorial Fair, and it is we'll to note that the management of the fair is to distribute prizes for everything ex- hibitable, from the old tom cat to the homely-faced bull dog, but not one cent for the benefit of a min ing exhibit. The alfalfa fellows have the call on the treasury of the territory and the mining fel. lows are passed up like white marker in game. That this is true the reader has only to look over the premium list recently issued by the Fair Commission. Thirty thousand dollars. go to the ponies, thirty thousand dollars goes to the raisers of cattle, horses, alfalfa, bees, bull pups and john thomas cats. Would't that jar you2-Mohave Miner:

and located substantially as found on our maps today. Among them are {: Tucson, San Xavier, Tubac, Tubutama, Magdalena, Arizpe, Bacanuchi, Bacoa- chi, and numberless others.
 Years ago in Sonora among our Mexi- can employees was young man who had travelled extensively over Arizona and his own state. He had been an at tentive student of native dialects, songs and traditions and often entertained us most interestingly and instructively. On one occasion he gave us the meaning in Spanish of the local names found in Western Sonora, among which the pre- fix "Ari" is quite common, viz: Ari- vaca, Ari-tuaba and Arizona, which is the ancient name of the Barnett ranch along the international boundary near Gro Blanco. I do not remember the meaning oursbard gave to Ari or to Ari- zona, but one was given and it seemed conclusive.
 The word Zoni also occurs in the Papago country, being the name applied by that tribe to one-t'me famous placer gold camp beyond Caborca.
 As neither the prefix Ari nor the word Arizona appear on the Kino map is 1t not reasonable to assume that they were applied in more recent times by Indian tribes occupying the coun- try, and that the true explanation or translation can be furnished by present members of those tribes-the Papago and Pimas?
 While the writer of the forego- ing has seen Father Kino's map, it is quite probable that he is not familiar with the descriptive work published at Barcelona by that ardent missionary. The title of the book is the Land of Nayarit," and it gives an account of the mission ary work done by Father Kino and his associates in "Pimeria Alta," as was then known the re- zion south of the Gila region to the Yaqui or whereabouts. h. cldentally the trlar mentions the great silver discovery at Planchas de Plata linear the Arizona ranche. :" That is the same property men, toned in the foregoing as the Bar nett ranche, and it was known by that name early in the eighteenth century. With that fact in mind there falls the assumption in the last paragraph of the foregoing quotation that the Indians have applied the name more recently than in the time of Father KinO. But none of these dissertations have thrown any real light unon the origin of the word. Nor is it the first that has arisen. It is perrenial and comes around in regular cycles, like that other myth-the tale of the alleged cannibal Seri Indians upon Tiburon Island.
