Supposed I,auk Robbers.

Wednesdays Star says: "P. B. Yates, Of the Wells Fargo, who came in yesterday from the east, says that day before yesterday four or five mounted strangers camc out of the Dragoon mountains on the north side There Is suspicion that they are the Nogales bank robbers and there is some apprehension that an attempt will be made on ara:lroad train. The road through that part of the country offers greater facilities to train rob bers than any other section along the line, Che only disadvantage being that it would have to be daylight robbery.
 "The Nogales robbers are supposed to have gone into Mexico and the sheriff's posses followed in that direc- tion. The last information received from Sheriff Leatherwood was that the trail had been lost. Nothing has betn heard from him though since August IS, and no word has been re- ceiyed from the posse which left Bis bee twelve days ago. The anxiety which was at first felt for the safety Of the latter posse has worn away, as it is reasoned that 1t would have been improbable that both posses would have encountered the robbers and suffered exterminatioD. And as no word has been received from either. one might as well be considered lost as the other.
 fffie country toward toossssaassd which the pursuers were headed is so remote from telegraph or mail that it IS not thought a messenger would have been sent back until the robbers were taken or the pursuit abandoned.

SONORA SETTINGS.
A col1ection of Happeninas in the State
 Over the Line.

At Torres the municipal authorities have adopted precautiOn of protect ing the town by strong guard at night, to meet any sudden descent by the Yaquis
 Late last week information was re- celyed of the death of T. $. Hoff of SOyOpa, tres district. Deceased, who was a native of Denmark, was long and prominently identified with the business interests of Sonora.
 Alarming reports are coming in about the Yaquis. It is said that they are quitting their employment everywhere and have commenced to raid the ranches. It is feared that Sonora is in danger of suffering war such as the Apaches waged in Arizona in the early sos.
 The American Hotel at HerWosillo, right opposite the depot, is kept in the American style, and all travellers will find it a homelike, comfortable place. Mrs. K. M. Sullivan, the pro- prietress, knows how to keep hotel, an1 does so to the entire satisfaction of all who patronize her well known h0stclry.
 Work will be resumed next week in tie mines Of Colonel Llegd D Wad- dell of New York, at Guacomea. A twenty-stamp mill is en route, will be erected at once, and operations on a large scale will be prosecuted with vig0r. Col. Waddell and his associates have two fine gold properties which will rank ffigh as producers.

An Recipient Prletas.

Colonel Lloyd D. Waddell of New York City. representing syndicate of heavy capitalists headed by Mir. Frederick J. Lancaster of No. 2 Wall street, has just closed a deal by which there passes into their hands the ab- solute title to the justly noted gold properties, the Esperanza and Fran cisco mines, which are located in the Magdalena district of Sonora, about twenty-tiye miles southwest of the town of Imuris, and are said to be two of the most promising gold mining propositions in all Sonora. Reports made, after careful and thorough in- yestigation, by those well known min
 ing engineers Ignacio Bonillas Of So- nora, and John Parish of Colorado, state that the veins are true Assures, and that the properties are of great value.
 The properties are well developed, having over 1000 feet of shafts, tun- nels, drifts and winzes, exposing to sight over 100000 tons of high grade ore.
 The purchase price of the property was not stated to THE OASIS, but it was hinted that to write the figure would require numeral and five ciphers.
 A twenty-stamp mill will be ;mme- diately erected upon the property; several carloads of machinery for the same are now at Nogales, in transit, and transportation between Imuris and the mines has been engaged.
 Like the Minas Prietas properties, now world famous and the recent sale of which for millions has opened the eyes of the world to the mineral possi- bilities of Sonora, these mines, it is prophesied, will be bullion producers; and before the winter has well set in they will be pouring forth stream of wealth of no mean magnitude. THE OASIS wishes the gentlemen interested a grand success, and entertains every confidence that they will attain it.

Saturday morning Mrs. D. Calisher, and her sister Mrs. Headrickson of Reno, Nevada, who has been visiting at Nogales some months, started for Reno, where Ms. Calisher will remain 6 number of weeks.

County Tax Levy.

At Tucson, Monday, the county board of equalization fixed the tax levy at S3,50, an increase of twenty five cents over last year, distributed as follows:
The oasis., 1896-08-29

Under date of the 18th inst, the Bisbee correspondent of the Tomb stone Prospector says: A number of persons who have been employed by the Montezuma Concentrating Co. at Nacosari for some time past, arrived in town yesterday and departed on the train this morning. The entire shelter works have been shut down and the only work now being done by the company is development work in the mines. If the body of ore is ex- tensiye enough to justify a large ex- penditure, more extensive smelling works will be put in and it is even possible that a railroad may be con- structed.
The oasis., 1896-08-29

Interest on the bonded indebted ness thirty-three cents on each Sl00 valuation, making the total levy for territorial and county tax s3.50. The supervisors found the increase of twenty-five per cent necessary to meet a falling off in the county revenues by the repeal of the merchants license law from which the county derived nearly $l0,O00 yearly. With the same law now in force the levy would be about thirty cents lower than that fixed by the board. The loss of rev enue, however, from the reduced valua- tion railroad and cattle interests amounts to about the same thing.
