of the sentiment and feeling in the public mind in Mexico, it may be cited that one day this week there was held in the federal capital great mass meeting in which there participated twenty thousand peo- pie, and resolutions were adopted pledging support to the constitu- tional government in its efforts to put down sedition and preserve order. Similar meetings are noted elsewhere. All that goes to show movement in the public mind which cannot fail to work out for good.

THE SONORA BONANZA MINE.
Operation Resumed. q Railway Con. neetlon Contemplated. Avery Val
 uable Property.

Recently the Sonora Bonanza mine, which is located about six miles west from Imuris station, on the line of the Sonora railway. passed to the ownership of the Ca. nanea Consolidated Copper Com. pany, and on the first of March that corporation resumed opera. tions after suspension of two or three years. Under former ownership there was extracted and shipped a great deal of high grade ore, and there is yet in the mine a great deal more; but there are developed also low grade ores estimated about 60,000 tons of rock which carries a value of about $l0 per ton. By construction of a branch railway from Imuris to the mine that ore could be shipped to Cana. nea and worked to profit; and it is reported that the plans of the Cana nea Company contemplate cons. truction of such line.
 The ores which have been ship. ped carried copper and silver, and they ran high in both metals.
 The force which went to work at the beginning of the month in. cludes about fifty men, and their permanent employment means a great deal for the camp and vicinity.

THE SITUATION CLARIFYING.

It is believed that the strained situation in Mexico is becoming relieved and that within a very weeks the present uprising will have run it's course and peace and order will prevail. The sound sense and good judgment of the business interests throughout the republic, which suffer so greatly with disturbance and disorder, are beginning to assert themselves, and before the force of aroused public opinion the recalcitrants who persist in making trouble must yield. The paralysis of business which has been spread over the country, even in such states as Sonora, where there are no dis orders, has taught everybody that peace and quietness are necessary to prosperity, and that they can be preserved only by constituted au- thority. Madero is the represen- tative of that constituted authority and his administration is the con- stitutional government of Mexico That administration has it's term and when supplanted by another it should be at the end of that term, through the expressed will oi the people of Mexico, declared under forms of law and by peaceful methods, not by force of arms Any other course now means anarchy, such as being experienced in Sinaloa, Topic, Morelos ans Chihuahua, and some other states
 
 That truth is sinking into tn, minds of business men all over tn, republic and is arousing senti ment that is making itself felt The classes among whom tha sentiment is crystallizing are pos sessed of a realizing sense that un less the constitutional authority i sustained they will experience a least ten years of anarchy and con fusion.

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
The Gift of Americans In Mexico to the Mexican People Unveiled in the
 City of Mexico.

Related newspapers from the City of Mexico, received this week, present interesting accounts of the unveiling of heroic statue of George Washington, on the, 22d ult., in the Plaza Dinamarca, in the federal capital, the work being a gift by Americans in Mex leo to the Mexican nation. Last year THE OASIS contained an ac- count of the dedication of the site, with elaborate ceremony, in which President Diaz participated. Upon the recent occasion a large plat form in front of the statue was oc- cupied by President Madero, his staff, the members of the cabinet, the diplomatic corps and many unofficial Mexicans and Americans, both men and women. Several thousand people assembled in the plaza to witness the ceremony.
 The statue is of bronze. It is eleven feet high and rests on a base of marble of the same height The figure, face and pose of the great American are dignified and noble and the statue adds much beauty to the glorieta, which is surrounded by handsome build ings.
 There had been a committee in. cluding prominent American re- sidents in the capital, and residents in all the states, which had con tributed to success of the move ment which resulted in the visible manifestation of the good will 0. all Americans toward the Mexican people, as presented in the splendid work of art unveiled at the time mentioned. In Sonora the mem bers of the committee were L. D Ricketts, Cananea; c. D. Taylor Guaymas; W. E. Bristol, Hermo sillo; Miguel Latz, Magdalena; J s. Williams Jr.. Nacozari.
 Tn Sinaloa the members of thu committee were Nelson Rhoads Jr. .Culiacan; H. w. Felton, Mazatlan
 The finance committee consisted of Hon. D. E. Thompson, forme Ambassador to Mexico, K. M. Van Zandt Jr., and c. E. Cummings 0 the City of Mexico.

the political pie counter can declare a revolution and make serious trouble.
 Moreover there is arising sense of fairness which desires to see the present administration work out the problems that fell to 1t and carry out the reforms to which it is pledged. The ambitious program outlined in the plan of San Luis Potosi cannot be formulated, pro- mulgated and executed within a few weeks. There is a deal of detail that has to be arranged and per fected, work which will require time and careful attention. All those facts are understood and ap- preciated, and with their apprecia- ton there arises a disposition to give the present administration a fair trial, which success of the new revolt would deny. And those leading the revolt have given no assurance that they can carry out the reforms demanded any better than can those now conducting the administration.
 The attitude of the United States toward Mexico is becoming better understood and appreciatedg by everybody in Mexico. The scope and intention of President Taft's proclamation advising withdrawal of Americans in exposed situations is understood better than it was a week ago; and his recent declara- ton that intervention would not be attempted except in execution of an Act of Congress, has served to allay deal of apprehension. It has called attention of Americans and Mexicans alike to the fact, presented several times by THE OASIS, that intervention would be an act of war that cannot be un-
 dertaken without the sanction of
 Congress. In the government of
 the United States the war making
 power rests in Congress, not with
 the executive; and an executive
 who would exercise 1t might ind
 himself impeached and put upon
 trial for high crimes and misde-
 meaners. And an enactment which
 would be tantamount to a declara.
 ton of war against Mexico could
 not be passed through Congress in
 the present disposition of the
 American people. These facts are
 becoming understood upon both sides of the line, and are serving to allay greatly much misappre hension which has been rife. They have appealed strongly to the sober judgment of those who influence public opinion, and are carrying along the judgment and temper of the Mexican people toward ad : justment of present difficulties anC assurance of peace.
