issue there was neltner tlme nor space available to present in that issue the masterly oration deliver. ed on the Fourth, by Hon. Frank J. Barry of Nogales; but as patriot ic sentiments are good reading at any time there is no hesitancy in presenting Mir. Barry's masterly address at this belated time. It was as follows:
 MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND CENT LEMEN; In appearing before you today, l feel that it is my duty to offer some apology. 1 fully realize the honor which has been bestowed on me by the committee which had charge of this program; for it is an honor to be selected at any time to address an audience ofAmerican men and women, but most of all is it an honor to be a speaker on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of our Nations birth.
 regret that the notice of my selection to speak on this occasion came to me so late that 1 had no time to prepare such an address as l would like to deliver, and as this important occasion demands.
 Recently, I have withdrawn to some extent from the life of the town. 1 have gone back to the soil. have gone away from the turmoil and strife and the great white way of your city to seek rest and peace with the cattle and the ong.birds of the wilds. l thought and fervently wished that you would not be bored by me for some time to come, and 1 noticed a general feeling of relief among the people who strayed my way, because of the fact that one more bore had been sent back to the primeval hills. But alas for tue vanity of human wishesl In every community we find mischief mak- CTS and disturbers of other peoples peace. A band of conspirators met, counseled by this arch.conspirator, our chairman, and having in mind the perpetration of 8 perfdious act, sought under the guise of patriot Ism to impose me once more upon your patience. They sought me out In the fastnesses of the noun 'aIns and dragged me forth from my SecIusion, willing victim, to oliend your sight and urban tastes. 90 here l am, unprepared to please, and carrying out the evil designs ol these base conspirators.
 Were l possessed of the power of ofalory, l could surely find words Ol hre in the contemplation of the occasion we celebrate, words that would set your hearts afame. Just ice t, Is not a human principle only. It IS divine. And human liberty, III US proper conception, is the teaiI2atlon among men of this ulVlne principle of justice. And as Ine writers of the Declaration of Independence said:-
 We hold these truths to be self ovldent, that all men are created pSquai, S and that they are endowed oE the Creator with certain in- ''le0abIe Rights" So that to

Hosey are shipping ore from the Augustus mine in the Santa Ritas.
 Ore shipments from the R. R. R. mine continue regularly and ire. quently. Chris B. Wilson, the freighter is doing the hauling.
 Messrs. John Allen and Ed. Castaheda, of Benson, have leased to James Harrington of Bisbee, their property, near the Sheehy camp, in the Santa Rita mountains, and MT. Harrington is shipping high grade ores carrying lead, cop per and silver.

 The work going on in the prop erty of the Crescent Copper Com- pany, on the Nogales and Wash. ington Camp road, is progressing satisfactorily, and there seems every prospect of the development of great ore body. The contrac- tor, Mir. Fred J. Miller, is pushing the tunnel in as fast as men and money can accomplish results, and as the work progresses in the high. ly mineralized ground the indica. tons improve greatly.
 Mir. NJ. P. Freeman of Tucson, has bonded to Fred Chatham of Bisbee, the Black Diamond and Isabel properties, in the Santa Rita mountains, in the vicinity of the Sheehy and the Allen camps, and MT.

A new wagon road has been com pleted from Canoa station, on the line of the Tucson & Nogales rail- road, and an air compressor has been taken into the camp.

 of this Declaration of Indepen- dence, have you noticed the splend- i'd tone of the language used by the emancipators of our country? Have you noticed how splendid their pro- nounced impatience of human yokes, while at the same time they bow with humility under the yoke of the Creator, Natures God? Itis well for us that it has become a practice to read that noble docu- ment on the Fourth of July, for 1t brings us back to time when men were brave and courageous and yet acknowledged their need of help from the Creators hand. And in these days of our power and pride, there is danger that we may forget Him who has watched and weaved our destiny. Let us beware that we not forget, and even some of us deny the Eye that ever watch eth over our grand country and it's splendid destiny. And let us, not with our lips merely, but with grateful hearts thank God that ours is nation, born in justice, and let us fervently pray that never may dawn the day when it shall be denied among Americans that all men are created equal.
 Ladies and Gentlemen,-you have always been so accustomed to enjoy your liberty that fear you but little appreciate your lot. You now enjoy the full measure of self government, than which nothing more is to be desired. When we last met on July Fourth we were still fedglings in the nest, but now our wings are spread and our star has appeared in the firm ament of our country's flag and we are a commonwealth among com. monwealths. To you this transition has been so natural that you have not passed to measure the debt of gratitude you owe to fortune. It is ! frequently said that Americas s adopted children become better Americans themselves, and this is sometimes true, because only those who have lived in countries where Freedom is denied can appreciate how sweet Freedom is. Ask the Russian serf what he thinks of Freedom. He will tell you that it IS dearer to him than the power to speak and hear, ay, dearer to him than life itself So thought out fathers too. And they proved it by writing in their hearts blood a Declaration which fired whole people and by whose power a powerful yoke was shaken off. Oh, Americans, forget, not that you have the fullest measure of liberty that ever human race was blessed with. You govern yourselves-not theoretically, but practically and actually. Let no man preach to you the injustice of the times. There is no injustice of the times. It is all stern justice. Among self governing people there is no such thing as injustice. An, but, you will say, how do you account for this oppression by the trusts, this tyranny of wealth2 Are not elections bought, and do not governors and senators and even presidents buy their offices? l an swer, that you permit all this; you are party to all this.
