THE SoBiA REGION.
q Further Account of the New Gold Region in the Alamos District
 of Sonora.

Last week THE OASIS presented a meager account of the recent dis coveries in the Sobia region, near the confluence of the Mayo and Cedros rivers, in the Alamos dis trict, about thirty miles northwest from the City of Alamos. Since that article was forwarded from Alamos THE OASIS man has gathered addi. tional data with regard to the region, which will be found pre-. sented in the following lines.
 The region takes it's name from the Sobia ranche, which is in the vicinity, but locally the mining country is named Mineta. The lodges follow the great series of faults that are prominent from Promontorias and La Aduana, with strike N. w. and s. E. to the Yaqui river at Realito, where it crosses and continues on in the same general direction to the San Felipe mountain and beyond. At Minas Nuevas, Santo Domingo, La Aduana, La Quintera) and Pro- montorias, the ore dispositions are varying forms of lead and silver combination, changing to copper at great depths, as in the QuinIera
 mine at La Aduana. At Realito and vicinity there are deposits of
 lead and silver in high grade ores, but the great ore bodies of the
 region seem to be copper. In the
 Sobia region gold appears the pre-
 vailing metal. The faults men,
 toned follow a series of contacts
 between granite and porphyry, the
 latter being light brick red in
 color, the San Felipe mountain be-
 ing lofty peak of the porphyry,
 and a very conspicuous object in
 landscape for miles around on all
 sides.
 At Sobia the ores are a silicious
 calcite impregnated strongly with
 iron and manganese, the iron solu-
 tions when deposited carrying gold
 As stated in the former article the gold values run as high as six kilo- grams per ton, but (he average is } about $250 American money pel ton. The formation is traced from Mineta to Baucari, a distance O. } about eight miles. At the latter named point Doctor F. F. Plank O Guaymas operated a paying golc l property twenty years or more ago 5 He sold it some twelve years age to the Cranz Brothers-of Nogales 5 The principal ledge--the Sar , Francisco varies in width from fvt f feet to fifteen, and it pitches to tn, s west at an angle of 45 degrees t Other lodges vary in their pitcl 7 from 25 degrees to vertical.
 I As stated last week there are two 7 shafts on La Junta mine, near tn, l south end. They are about eighty

time that he is still the poor page
with whom she earlier fell in love.
Now comes the %unravelling of the plot.
The sea captain is brought before the
Duke charged with his old offense of
sea-piracy, and claims the friendship
of Viola whom he believes to be Sc
bastian. Viola denies all knowledge
of him, and in the midst of their re-
elimination Olivia enters. The con-
fusion is becoming worse when Sebas-
tian appears and the Countess sees
two husbands before her, not knowing
which she has married. The hour is
at hand for the inevitable explanation;
in the similarity between the brother
and sister is discovered the clue to the
imbrogoiio. The Duke learning that
Viola is a woman turns from the
Countess to the newly discovered
damsel and to the sound of wedding
bells the curtain falls.

The Greatest Danger.

According to Mr.. Carnegie, the very
gravest of the dangers that beset
young men.who aim at success in bus
mess is the habit of Intoxicating IL
quors. He says in his book, "The
Empire of Business:
1.-The first and most seductive peril,
and the destroyer of most young men,
is the drinking of liquor. 1 am no
temperance lecturer in disguise, but a
man who knows and tells you what OBJ
servation has proved to him; and 1
say to you that you are more likely
to fail in your career from acquiring
the habit of drinking liquor than from
any or all Of the other temptations
to assail you. You may Weld
to almost any other temptation, and
reform-may brace up, and, if not re-
cover lost ground, at least remain in
the race, and secure and maintain a
respectable position. But from the in
sane thirst for liquor escape is almost
impossible. I have known but few
exceptions to this rule.n

Sensible Advice.

The habit of indulging in the use of
profane or obscene language is n Of
the most ~nonsenical habits a human
being ever acquired. No mar or
youth ever raised himself in the ,esti-
nation of saint or sinner by the use
of foul language. Purity of thought
and speech are valuable virtues. And
yet, it's our honest opinion that the
mar who unwittingly ''cusses'' a little
now and then, is not :half so big a
sinner as the fellow who continuously
thinks evil and speaks evil of his
neighbo's, and refuses to pay his hon
est debts upon the theory that "Jesus
paid it all, all the debt I !owe." If the
pulpits of the land would ego after''
the fellows who refuse to pay their
honest debts and to love their wives
and their fellow-men-ango after''
them as.vigorously as they go after
the fellows who '!'cuss and chew to-
bacco," the true reformation of the
race might be nearer at hand.

A Shrewd Economist.

Patrick O'Hoolihan was the oracle
of the little Irish village. He was the
wisest of the wise and was looked up
to by the others members of the COM
munity as a veritable encyclopedia.
But especially did he pride himself
upon his s%criptural learning.
1t was the custom in the village
church Sunday mornings for all the
inhabitants to attend, and Patrick,
who never missed a Sunday, always
occupied the front pew.
One Sabbath, when the minister was
reading the Bible, several dignitaries
were present from another town, and
in an endeavor to wax particularly
eloquent the pastor became slightly
confused and said, Sand there we're
five thousand loaves and three fishes
to feed q multitude of seven" And

"Indade, I could" said Pat, and the
sermon continued.
That night, however, when the
preacher reached his home and
thought yer his morning sermon, it
dawned on him that he had made a
serious error concerning the loaves
and the fishes. Accordingly the next
Sunday he ros in the pulpit and said
in explanation, Brethren, last Sab
bath l made a mistake and said that
there were, five thousand loaves and
three fishes to. feed the multitude Of
seven, but what I should have said
was that, there were seven .loaves and
three fishes to feed the multitude of
five thousand. !" And then he looked
at Pat again and said, And now Pat,
sure you could not do that, could
you?" :
"Ah yis, OF COULD" replied Pat.
"And how would you do it, PATTI"
asked the minister.

SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
Legislation Which Will Re-
ceive Consideration of Sol
ons at Bismarck.

The 1911 session of the North d.
kota legislature will be nj of the
most interesting held in many years.
Many important questions are coming
UP. Among these may be mentioned
the zreapportionment of legislative re-
presentation; the proposition to re-
peapthsw olf* bounty bill; the election
of U;sssssssaat5t; blehmendments
to the primaaffys law; tax AID railroad
legislation; legislation dealing with
the question of conservation; and it is
altogether likely that the Fargo peo-
pie will raise the question Of the loca-
ton of the state fair at that place. In
addition to these there will be a heavy
grist of bills touching the usual SUBJ
jects and possibly a few genuine sur
prises.
With such a prospect, this years.
legislature will be one of the most
closely watched assemblies in our his
tory. 1n-order+ to satisfy the public
with quick, reliable news from the
center of things, the Grand Forks
Daily Herald has arranged to keep q
representative in Bismarck during the
entire session, and to give thef people
the best news service possible con-
corning these affairs.
Would it not be worth while to take
advantage of this service by subscrib-
ing for the Daily Herald. Three

Do we take time during the hurry

be avoided in the future? That boy

Twelfth Night" was, in olden
times, the season of universal festiv-
ity-of Mosques, pageants, feasts and
Evolutionary sports. This comedy
then would not disappoint public ex-
pectation, when it was found to con-

delicate fancy and romantic sentiment
of the poetic masque, with a crowd of
reveling, laughing or laugh-creating
personages, whose truth all would re-
cognize, and whose spirit and fun no
gravity could resist.

Stock Taking.

Merchants and others will soon be-
gin to take stock. While most men in
business know in a general way how
things have gone, there are some
things in which the actual details and
figures are necessary. Tt is a trying
period for both employers and en-
ployed. The work is both irksome
and laborious. But there is some sat-
~isfaction afterwards-to know the ex-
act status of everything.
Many Hope business men will be UNI
able to find as much on the right side
of the ledger as they wished. In some
lines trade does not SCENT to have been
affected. In others there was a ma
terial falling off-owing to the talk of
hard times-and the fear of many peo-
pie that there would be a repetition of
former depressions.
Fortunately the conditions are
greatly improved. More encouraging
reports are being received daily-and
! the new year is full of promise for
North Dakotans.
When you take stock and find the
volume of business and the size of the
profits have been less than anticipated
don't imagine the country is headed
for the demnition bowwows. 1t will
still be here a long time to come-and
there are always a great many more
fat than lean years.-Fargo Forum.
If you find it SO difficult to keep
your New Years resolutions, perhaps
it would he a good idea to make a few
bad ones this time, for a change. For
instance, you might resolve to be cross
to your wife (if you have one) every
day during the year, and then give
her gentle words and loving kisses
instead. You can thus be consistent
with your past record, and possibly
be a better man when another year
rolls around.

THE STORK.

Last night the stork came stalking,
And, stork, beneath your wing
Lay, Tapped in dreamless slumber,
The tiniest little thing!
From Babyland, out yonder,
Beside a silver sea,
You brought a priceless treasure
AS a gift to mine and me!
Last night my dear one listened
And wife, you knew the cry
The dear old stork has sought our home
A,many times gone by!
And in your gentle bosom
| found the pretty thing
That, from the realms out yonder,
Our friend the stork did bring.
Last night a babe awakened,
And, babe, how strange and new
Must seem the home and people
The stork has brought you to!
And yet methinks you like them
You neither stare o weep,
But closer to my dear one
You cuddle and you sleep.
Last night my heart grew fonder-
Oh, happy heart of mine,
Sing of the inspirations
That round my pathway shine!
And sing your sweetest love song
To this dear nesting wee,
The stork from "Way.Out- Yonder''
Hath brought to mine and me.
