DROWNED IN Az TRAIN.
Two Women and IA Child Find q
Watery Grave.

MARQUETTE, April 2S.-Mrs. Mary
Post, her daughter, Mrs. A. P. Finley,
and little Ethel Finley were drowned
in the Au Train river, in Alger county,
some time last Friday afternoon. They
were missed from home last evening
and boat was also gone. The bodies
of all three were found in the river to-
day. 1t is believed that Mrs. Post had,
while walking out to Finley's housa
from Au Train, become tired of carry
ing her satchel and left it at the bridge
a quarter of a mile away; that she,
Mrs. Finley and the little girl then took
the boat as the easiest way to bring it
in, and that the swift current drove the
boat on a hidden ledge and capsized it.
Mrs. Post had been housekeeper for W.
L. Wetmore, of this city, all winter.
and had lust returned to Au Train.

ALL ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
Why Gresham Tried to Secure
Delay for Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, April 2S-The dis
patches received by the Associated
Press today from England and Costa
Rica throw additional light on the
attitude of the administration in re-
gard to the Nicaraguan incident. 1t is
evident that both the United States
and the Central American republics
were anxious to secure a, peaceful set
tlement of the difficulty by the ray
ment of the indemnity demanded by
Great Britain for the expulsion of Pro-
Consul Hatch. President YglesiaS, Of
the republic of Costa Rica, if the cable
advtces are correct, offered 10. con-
tribute portion of the money, while
the state department here, through
Ambassador Bayard at Lonion, ar
ranged for an extension of two weeks,
in which the money could be raised if
Nicaragua would agree to settle on this
basis. 1t is not known exactly wlat
representations were made TO tie stale
department here by Nicaragua or
Nlcaragua's representative to induce
Secretary Gresham to cable Mr. Pay
ard these instructions, but as the pop
uHar feeling in Nicaragua was ell
against yielding, it is believed tina: the
government of Nicaragua concluded,
out of Difference to 1t, and possibly as
means of it's own preserva ton, to
stand out in the hope of ultimately ir-
ducing, if possible, active Intervention
of the United States. 1t is said that the
state department has all along ad-
vised Nicaragua that the expulsion of
Consul Hatch was an offense that no
self-respecting country could over
lcok, and prompt reparation was due
Great Britain.
When Hampton and Wiltbank, the
citizens of the United States, were ex-
PEELED from Bluefields, last July, fer
alleged completely in the conspiracy to
defy Nicaraguan authority on the
Mosquito coast, in which it was said
Consul Hatch was involved, the senti-
ment in this country was strong, and
the state department took such Wig
orous steps that hampton and Wilt
bank were not only permitted to re-
turn, but they were restored to all
their rights. and property, and pub
lie ball was given in their honor. At
that time it was believed that Mic

seized Corinto to enforce the
payment of the indemnity claimed to
be due her.
Much interest is manifested in diplo-
matte circles in the situation. Secre-
tary Gresham drove to Woodley this
afternoon and had a long consultation
with the president. 1t was thought
that some statement would be made
upon his return, but the secretary de-
clined to give out anything. The fact
that the United States has been Off

Corinto by the British is, however.

At present the route between the City of Mexico and Tampico Is via San Luis Potosi. The engineers of the company are now employed in running the sur yeys of the new line It will reduce the time between the City of Mexico and Tampico ten hours.
 A telegram from the City of Mexico dated the 1st says: The government of Mexico today resumed control of the hints, and will hereafter levy uniform tax of 5 per cent on all the gold and silver contained in the ore mined in the country, without regard to where 1t is smelted. For several years the hints have been leased to private individuals, who, while they have charged mintage tax, have put it on somewhat different basis from that proposed by the government. The charge for minting gold and sil- yer has been almost II per cent, while the government has collected in addi- tion .6l of one per cent, making tax of over five per cent, to be paid by all Mexican mine owners having their ores coined into money in Mexico, while those who sent their product to smelt- CTS either in the United States or Mexico escaped the tax. It was this  condition of affairs which induced the government to assume control of the hints, and to tax all ore irrespective Of where it is treated.

Work at ~rhe Planchasr to be Resumed

Work at ..The Planehas" to be Resumed
 Last week THE OASIS made men, tion of the fact that MesSrs. Charles II. Charlton and Miguel Bornio of New Orleans, president and general man ager respectively Of the company own ing the mines at "PlanchaS de Plata, about twenty-five miles southwest of Nogales, had arrived here and gone out to visit their properties. Satur- day they returned from "the Plan chas, and have now gone to El Paso on business connected with the pro posed resumption of work out there.
 Sunday evening Mir. Charlton, the president, was seen and he talked very freely with TIE OASIS man, stat ing that he had been authorized by the company to make a thorough ex- animation and report, and that they will, no doubt, carry out his recom- mendations. The gentleman stated that in consonauce with the recom-
 
 mendations he would make, work would be resumed in moderate way, and the force increased as develop ment warrants. The ten stamp mill formerly in operation will be thorough ly repaired, put into first class work ing order and set at reduction of ores now in sight. A small force will be devoted to prosecution of further development, and if that returns the results anticipated the machinery of new twenty-stamp mill, which has been lying on the ground there num- Der years, will be set up and put into operation.
 The company has five large claims at "the Planchas," any one of which would be big mine of itself when opened scientifically and operated by modern methods. Mir Charlton stated that while the work prosecuted will be done on a safe and economical basis it will be performed scientifically and thoroughly, looking to development and operation on scale fully as ex- tenslve as the magnitude of the pro- pcrties implies. Tho ores as the name implies silver bearing and very rich in that metal In the past they have yielded 3 great deal of hul- lion The grea, depreciation iusilyer and a change in the mining laws of Mexico caused suspension of the work some years ago.

 One of the features of the great Pesqueira ranch, in the Arizpe district of Sonora, are the immense flower gar dens, of which Mrs. Caraway has no less than three, covering an area of about 200 acres of land, in which are growing wonderful variety and pro- fusion of plants and flowers. To keep this vast posy plot in good order re- quires the unremitting attention of fifteen gardeners.
 The Supreme Court of Mexico has had under consideration for some time the cases of Allan Pratt and J E. Garratt, in jail at Enseiiada on a. charge of stealing sl3,000 gold bar from NJ.

While IL is not thought that anv
error has been committed, the defense
has embraced every opportu nity TO take
exceptions to the rulings of the court.

three features of the district attorneys

For months the Durrant case has be en-
an all-absorbing topic, and every phase
of the trial has been followed with close
attention. While some few of Durrant's
friends profess to believe that it was
impossible for him to commit the
crimes, the general verdict is that he is
guilty and should hang.
The verdict of the jury was announced
just in time for the evening papers, and
in an incredibly short time extra
editions were on the streets. Crowds
gathered about bulletin boards in
various parts Of the city, and general
satisfaction was expressed that the
arch criminal Of the country had been
convicted.
