The Gordlsn Knot.

The famous Gordian knot was mado
Of leather taken from some part of the
harness belonging to the chariot Of
Gordius, king OF Phrygia. It seems that
this knot was SO tied that the ends OF
the leather thong was not visible hence
the difficulty in loosing it. Many must
have tried to unite it, for its fame as
a "stickler" at last reached the great
Oracle, which declared that the lucky
experimenter should be rewarded by
the Eingship Of Persia Alexander
trying his hand and meeting with no
better success than the others, drew
his sword and cut into the knot until
he found the ends Of 1t.

Lobsters Washed Ashore In Storm.

During the recent storm, which was
the worst that has swept the New
Brunswick coast in a number of years,
thousands Of HOLSTERS Of all sizes have
been washed ashore on the North
Beach at Rexton. For a distance of
several hundred yards a reef was
formed on the shore of all sorts of fish,
including an immense quantity Of rock
cells as we'll as Holsters. which fish
ermen say are more than all the traps
would secure in Q season.
Thousands of birls of the sea we're
on the beach eating the soft part of
he Holsters and leaving only the claws,
which were strswn about in all di.
rections. Although there have been
many severe storms here in the past,
no one recalls an event of this kind.
A great many have visited the beach
to watch the gulls and other birds
ravenously enjoying the feast for them.

YAQUI DELTA.
Development by Richardson Construe-
 ton Company Continuing Upon an Extensive Scale.

Last week THE OASIS man vis- tied the Yaqui delta and noted with no little interest the advance ment of the great enterprise con ducted by the Richardson Con- struction Company. The acreage planted under the canal of the company, ir the subdivided lands has been increased greatly over that of year ago, and, as noted in these columns two weeks ago, the ex- perimental work made for the com pany by the agriculturist, Mir. w.. ". Mackie, formerly with the De- partment of Agriculture of the United States at Washington, D. G., has been very successful in many particulars, and has given an experience that will be of great value in selection of products and the work of raising and harvesting crops.
 Last year the acreage under cul- tiyation in the subdivided lands under the canal was about 4,000 acres, and as shown by the follow ing detailed statement the acreage has been nearly trebled this year:

change in it's reduction plant from lixiVia tion to cyanide. The new mill was erected by Roy & Titcomb of Nogales. The mine, which was owned formerly by Flores & Will kinson, was discovered by MT. Nj. K. Flores in 1898. It is a great low grade silver proposition, the ledge being eighty metres in width. The ore is quarried from the ledge.
 In the Titache district of Sina- loa there have been discovered lately by Fortuna Pifla and Tariva Brothers of San Jose de Gracia. some very promising prospects to, development of which they will give their attention.
 Mir. M. E. Flores of Culiacan has taken bond on the Topago group of claims in the Palmerito region, near where corner the three states- of Chihuahua, Sonora and Sinaloa. MT. Flores is in the interest of g. syndicate of English and American, capital, which will begin explora- tion shortly.
 At Vancouver large syndicate has been formed to develop Sinaloa- mines. Mir. NJ. E. Flores is to be manager.
 A company has been organized in Mazatlan to explore and develop the San Juan coal fields, in the R9medio district in the state of Durango, not far eastward from Cosala, Sinaloa. H. w. Felton of Felton Brothers of Mazatlan, and M. E. Flores are the moving spirits in the enterprise. There are sev- eral promising coal veins One is eight feet in width At the surface the coal is slacked, but it is be. lieved that with depth there will be developed coal of good quality.
 A railroad from Osa station up the San Lorenzo river, ninety-fi kilometers would tap the coal field i. mentioned and open great min. eral region beside.
 It is reported that the Southern Pacific is Investigating the field, and experimenting with the coal. If that interest does not take it over there are others ready to do so.

 The company is extending now the main canal two and one. half miles farther, the laterals to cover those subdivisions under the exten. sion, and those heretofore in course of Construction. The work now in hand and projected which will be completed this year, will put water upon 10000 acres of land, of which 30OOO have been sold, 18,OOO are cleared, and, as set forth above, ll,O44 are under cultivation.
 Beside the acreage now under cultivation in the subdivided lands of the Richardson Company there are about 14,000 under cultivation Tn the pueblo lands along the river, surrounding the towns of Cocorit, bacum, Torim and Potam, making an aggregate acreage of 25,OOO that will yield crops this year.
 The pueblo lands are covered by 2 lateral named the Porfrio Diaz canal, the intake from which is at z point upon the main canal about tour miles above Esperanza.

 it into the lateral in any volume needed to supply the region below, In the intake gate there are three such openings which can be closed or opened by insertion or removal of blanks in the slides. By closing all the slides in the check gate the entire volume of water running in the canal can be turned into the lateral; while the volume can be divided and the diversion into the intake can be regulated to a nicety by manipulation of the blanks in the openings through the check gate. The structure stands about fifteen feet above the bed of the canal, and the base is dozen feet in width or more.
 Every lateral, of which there will be eight in the main canal, and ten in a branch canal, that will be constructed across the delta some time in the future about ten miles west of the present line, will have just such a check gate and intake.
 As planned the primary laterals, several of which are constructed already, will be about two and one- half miles apart. Then from each of the primary laterals there will lead at right angles eight secondary laterals which will lead to the blocks of land of about 1000 acres each. From each secondary lateral there will lead, also at right angles ten tertiary laterals which will take the water upon each smallest subdivision of the blocks. In each secondary lateral there will be at the head a concrete check gate and intake, like those at the primaries; and each tertiary lateral will be supplied with small wooden check gate and in- take. When the work is all com pleted as planned there will be about 600 tertiary check gates and intakes, IA secondary structures and eighteen primary ones. Of the water there will be about POO miles of main canal; 200 miles of primary laterals, 450 miles of sec. Ondaries and 2000 miles of tertiary laterals. All these will supply water to irrigate about 6O0,O0O acres of land. But it will be quite number of years before all that will be completed, and it will take many million dol lars to accomplish it all.
 The next great work which will be undertaken by the Richardson Construction Company is to be great dam and storage reservoir ior water in the Sierra Madre, which will assure an abundant supply in the river at all seasons. 1 Several sites have been surveyed, and selection will be made in the 1ear future, when the work of con- 'truction will begin. It is possi. ole that eventually more than one will have to be utilized. Any of hose surveyed will conserve a mil. ion acre feet of water or more. which would supply a volume of water to cover one million of acres o a depth of twelve inches. When he reservoir Is filled and the water s low, the gates can be opened, the water let into the river, and taken lp again at the head of the canal t Los Hornos.

 mining men of the state quite op- timistic with regard to the outlook for their industry, and they re- ported that despite the unsettled condition of affairs political there IS more activity and more inquiry for good mining properties than in several years.
 In considering the mines of Sina- loa it should be borne in mind that the mineral belts of the West Coast are not confined to that state, but that the general trend of Assuring, following the axes of the Sierra Madre, which there approaches the coast more closely than farther north, renders tributary to Sinaloa mining camps in other states, such as Durango, Jalisco and Topic.
 At San Jose de Gracia the Car. rizo mine has been taken over by 8 syndicate of capitalists of Van couver, British Columbia, and upon the 26th ut. there commenced on the property active operations from which great results are anticipated. The Carrizo is upon the same line of Assuring as are the Jesus Maria and Guadalupe mines, two famous producers but five or six miles distant. These mines yield free milling gold ores of high grade.
 In the Cosala district the Prieta is under bond at a good price. This property is developed on six levels. It has six foot ledge which aver ages l3 kilos of silver per ton.
 At San Juan de Camarones, in the state of Durango, development is in hand on new prospect mak- ing fine surface showing in gold and silver. The property has been taken over by the Avilando inter- ests of Mazatlan, for which Mir. James E. Cook is general manager. MT. M. Roca, formerly of Tucson, is associated with MT. Cook at that camp.
 Great activity is reported about Rosario. The great Tajo mine, of which Mir. J. H. Tweedy is general manager, is running its 60.stamp mill night and day and doing the finest work done anywhere on the West Coast.
 A gas producing plant has been installed at the Tajo, which makes gas from wood, and that supplies power to the gas engines which drive dynamos which transmit power to hoists. pumps and mill.
 Adjacent to the Tajo is a fine property owned by Hon. John R. Davies, ex- mayor of Oakland, Cali fornia, who is pushing active ex- ploration.
 The San Dimas, San Vicente, Candelaria, and Contraestica are famous antigUas at Rosalio which are still producing.
 The San Dimas belongs to the interests represented by Colonel Dan Burns of California, and is doing we'll.
 The San Vicente is the property of J, B. Haggin of San Francisco, and is working vigorously.
