WHY PEOPLE GO TO
CANADA

Those who are wondering why the
number OF Americans going to Canada
year by year increases in tie rates
that 1t does, would not be so surprised
were they TO accompany one OF the
numerous excursions that are being
run under the auspices OF the Govern
ment from several or the states, and
remain with the settler until he gets
onto the free homesteads, which, as
stated by Speaker Champ Clark. in the
u. s. senate tho other day, comprises
l60 acres OF the most fertile soil and
with remarkably easy settlement con-
ditions. Then watch the results,
whether 1t be on this free homestead
Of Ice acres or on land which he may
purchase at from SIS. to $40. per acre,
fully as good as the 500. and $3.50.
per acre land Of his native state, and
which his means will not permit his
purchasing. On the part. Of the MEM
bers Of the U. s. Senate and Congress
there is nothing but praise for Canada.
Canadian laws and Canadian lands al
though the reasonable desire is shown
In their remarks. that they pass legis-
latlon. (Which is very praiseworthy)
that will make the land laws Of the
United States much easier.
1t Is the success Of the American
settler in Canada that attracts others,
and when experiences such as the fol-
lowing are related to the friend back
home" is It any wonder that increased
interest is aroused and determine

new-found way up in Canada that
means wealth and health and all that
accompanies It.
William Johnston, who formerly
lived at Alexandria. Mimi, settled IN
the Alberg District near Battle River

Government agents, located in the
United States says: I'VE have had no

as in many others the value of fresh

the least-thoughtful shake out their

how many of even the most fastidious

being brushed, pulled into shape and

Little That Is Really New, Though

In d season when taffeta as a dress
material is lifted to the pinnacle OF
favor 1t seems odd that ribbed rib
bons should have such a vogue Ia mil
linery; but all the ribbon trimmings
on spring hats seem to be in grosgrain
or ottoman weaves. These ribbons
are plated into all manner of smart
bows, fans, cockades and cabochons.
When big, soft bows are used. silk by
the yard in taffeta weave seems the
favorite material.
Motor coats are simple and smart In
design Even the inexpensive models
have good lines, with broad, roomy
shoulders and a narrow effect at the
foot. These coats are made of English

has been In the vicinity many years, and had come over from his home over on the Warsaw and Aus. terlitz road, to attend to assessment work upon some good mining claims he has in the vicinity.
 At the Old Glory 1 found MT. Frank Lanyon, who has been in charge of the property several years. MT. Lanyon is an old timer in the region, and is we'll and favorably known by everybody. He is engaged at present in doing assessment work on the properties.
 Not long ago the Old Glory mines and mill were bought from the estate of the late Stilson Hutch ins of Washington, D. C., by Mir. Mr. w. R. Ramsdell, Los Ange- les mining operator. MT. Lanyon was just in receipt of letter from Mir Ramsdell conveying the intell- iggence that he is negotiating deal for sale of the properties to firm of successful mining men, who will be in possession shortly and at work.
 Leaving the Old Glory I rode on down canon leading in that direc. tion, to the Orc Blanco mine, where 1 called on Mir. Varpey, who re- located the properties some months ago, ,precipitating a law suit with the company which had owned them many years, and, claims Mir. Var. ney, failed to comply fully with the law regulating assessment work leaving them open to heinz jumped which the gentleman has done. Ht ] told me that he has completed the location work required by law, and that under a court order the assessment work for the com paRy is being done by Mir. Jones one of the miners in the vicinity 1 heard it said that some other par ties had bought out the company and it's lawsuit, and that the new people are fighters from away back so 1t is likely that there will be { suit in the Superior Court of Sant' Cruz County that will attract grea attention, for the property is yer. valuable. As stated in THE OAsI at the time MT. Varney located tn, mines, last summer, there are sait to have been developed and exposed fer stoping several hundred thous and dollars worth of good gold ore which go to make the property prize. MT. Varney expressed grea confidence in the ultimate outcome

 Leaving the Progressive Camp l continued down California gulch, two miles or more, and crossed over to the Orc Fine mine, prop erty which is very near the inter national line. Just below the Gro Fino are the old Kelley placer mines, now operating by MT. P. J. Mcintyre of Nogales, who has as- sociated in the enterprise number of Los, Angeles gentlemen, one of whom, Mir. R. B. Treat, is visiting the camp and observing the work ings! It being Sunday the work was closed down to make some ne- cessary repairs. The plantis quite extensive. A concrete dam about ten feet high, across the entrance to side cafon, holds water com ing down there, making a reservoir or pool from which it is pumped through four-inch pipe line up the Kelly gulch mile or more, and there the water is used to hy- draulic the ground, catching the placer gold in the same way that it was caught in the hydraulicking operations in California, when the hydraulic mining industry was at its height. The water is pumped from the reservoir into the pipe line by triple plunger pump, driven by 50-h. p. gasoline en- zine, which will raise column of water such as the pipe would hold to height of $50 feet. Mir. McID- tyre describes the operation of the. plant as quite successful. He has been in operation but very short time and has taken out already more than 5000 worth of placer gold The placers in the Kelly gulch, to which is tributary the California gulch embrace many thousand acres of available hy- draulicking ground, that can be handled by the plant described !, which contain many thousands of dollars worth of fine gold, much of which Mr. Mcintyre expects to sue ceed in recovering.
 Mir. Mcintyre informed me that in the vicinity he has discovered & rich gold ledge, rock from which aa- says $50 per ton.
 Leaving the hydraulic ground | returned tu the Gro Fino, about half mile above, and thence 1 set out for the Warsaw camp, which is about four miles distant, steady climb up the mountain all the way
 At the Warsaw 1 found Mir. Char les O'Neill, the the merchant there, and Miss Rosina Evans, the teach CT of the Old Glory district school, :, mention of whom in teaching indus trial arts to her pupils was made in these coloumns after my visit in July last. Recently THE OASIS contained an account of the school having sent to the Red Cross Socie- ty some of the handiwork of her pupils, which was sold speedily and the money turned into the fund of the society. The lady informed me that since that time two other lots of such articles made in the school have been forwarded to

 that in one mine of the Gold Bullion
 group, which are the properties of
 the company, (the Star of Arizona)
 there are blocked out, available for
 stoping and reduction, fifteen thous-
 and tons of ore of good value car
 rying gold and silver, and that in
 all of the other claims are good
 ores. The plans of the company at
 present are somewhat experimental,
 for which reason the small plant,
 which is practically testing outfit.
 The ores are of many different
 varieties, and the company intend
 giving everything most thorough
 trying out. When they are sure, and
 the development has proceeded to a
 point that will justify, there will be
 erected a large reduction plant
 which will handle many tons of ore
 daily, with the proper processes.
 The Progressive Mining Com.
 pany has in it's holdings twenty
 four full mining claims, with many
 different veins, also different charac-
 teristics, presenting many problems
 in treating. To meet them Mr. Dillon is prepared completely and thoroughly. Beside the mill in course of erection, he is equipped with one of the most complete as. saying and determination outfits
 anywhere in the country, includ'
 ing several of the finest balance: made, two grinding machines, a first class gasoline fire assayins furnace, with chemicals and other necessities galore.

"rhs Oasis" Man Pays a Wait to the Orc BiAoeo Region, Where "Thers
 Are Things Doing"

Saturday last HE OASIS editor started for the Orc Blanco region. As there was ahead along, hard days ride in the saddle as early start was made as possible, arising at ] o'clock in the morning; and even then, so many little things re- quiring attention, that it was al- most g o'clock before 1 rode out of town, on the trail leading in that direction.
 At noon 1 reached the Clark place, at the Walker Forest Station, and stopped there a few minutes. Much tn my regret l found Mir. R. Il. Clarke Sr., quite i'll.
 The CIarkes, father and sons, are doing considerable work upon their Pena Blanca mines, in their vicih- ity, and are getting out consider able high grade ore. They expect to ship a carload next month.
 From the Clarke place 1 pro- ceeded toward Pena Blanca, reach ing that deserted camp in less than An hour, stopping to rest and feed the horse, partaking of my own luncheon.
 About 2 o'clock 1 started out on the long, gruelling ride to Montana Camp, which place l reached at 6:20 p. m., passing Tanks in Bear Val ley about 5 o'clock. Going up the long 'cordon" which the road fol- lows out of Bear Valley was blowing cold wind which was decidedly un. comfortable,and to my reliefit died down when crossed the divide anu entered the steep and rugged canon leading down to Montana Camp. The waxing moon yet in its first quarter. cast pale light over the scene, and making it somewhat less difficult in picking the winding way down the ticklish trail. Al times a placid pool reflected the moon and stars, ref ecti ng 6 beautiful picture of section of the sky that would have charmed one at any other time than at the close of long days ride in the saddle.
 Reaching the Montana 1 was greeted cordially and hospitably J entertained by MT. and Mrs. J. s Andrews, who are long time resid ents, having resided at that place some sixteen years, where Mir. An drews keeps store. He owns alsC anumber of valuable mining claim! in the vicinity.
 At Montana are Messrs. Ed Mur phy and Bud Gator of Tucson, whC are doing assessment work on the Gold Boulder Claims, in the i'm mediate vicinity.
