APRIL End

[By Theodosia Garrison of the
Vigilantes1
We have been patient - and they
named us weak;
We have been silent-and they judged
us meek.
Now, in the much-abused, high name
of God
We speak.
Oh, not with faltering or uncertain
tone
With chosen words we make our
meaning known.
That like a great wind from the West
shall shake
The double Throne.
Our colors flame upon the topmost
masts,-
We lift the glove so arrogantly cast
And in the much abused, high name
of God
We speak at last.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE

IS Recently there touched upon in these columns
statement that effort is foot to start at Nogales
another reduction plant with that is just completed
starting UP.
'he Oasis" has endeavored to locate the source Of
the report of second reduction plant here at this tme
but far without avail. Maybe the report is but the
flsllent of vivid imagination somewhere But the
ruor is good pin upon which to hang protest and to
call attention that the Lower California Metals Company
has entered the field has erected large concentration
plant with capacity of hundred tons daily and will
follow up with smelling furnace the business
will justify.
The company about to start into operation will
buy ores as well as treat its Ores and in that way
encourage development of mines in the vicinity The
enterprise mentioned has entered this field upon it's
capital, and has made effort to secure stock sub
scriptions from among the business of the town.
1t has asked particular encouragement; but it wants
to work out its salvation without interference by
rival that looks to local capital to help it get start It
has mines of its with large reserves of ore, all
blocked out and ready for stopping to bring in to the
centrator With those it is assured the rock
to accept from shippers With it's own ores avail
able the company mentioned has in hand large supply
OF ore that has cost just the work of development To
nave TO buy the same amount of to have in hand for
aresrve would take many thousands of dollars and tie
UP a great deal more capital
II. A smelter without concentration could b1v and
treat only nigh grade Ores and much of the rock available
III the vicinity would be shut from market at such
sneiter But concentration put into condition for
transportation to other smeters and enable the owners
OF prospects yielding low grade to realize some
thing from their properties, which could not be done
from furnace alone. So the plan of the Lower Cali
fornia Metals Company to treat in way all ore leading
UP TO furnace later, is the better way
For these this journal holds that the duty of
those approached to aid in starting another reduction
pant to quietly decline to be drawn into so dubious an
enterprise Give chance to the people already in the
field
