Shooting Anray.

Thursday evening Juan Gotta, an employe of the Electric Light Co.,, and Rufino Mabante, a stevedore at the railway depot, engaged in an alterca- tion over some disagreement which occurred New Years eve. As usual in such cases there was woman at the bottom of the fracas. At first the talk was good natured but finally it became serious, and their passions were aroused. Finally pistols were drawn and hostilities commenced. Unfortunately for Mabante he had dis charged all the cartridges in his gun to welcome the advent of the New Year and had neglected to relo ad it. Cota's gun was ready and was dis charged with damaging effect, the bullet penetrating the abdomen on the left side, and cutting through the large intestine. Doctors Welles and Chenoweth were called to attend the wounded man. An excision was made

A Valuable Reform.

Dear Sir:-I received your kind let ter and valuable paper, which now makes it's regular appearance at my office. Having had sixteen years of ex- perience in mining in Mexico, from where TIE OASIS brings good deal of interesting news, l certainly cannot do without it. Please let the fellow in Altar who has had the pleasure of reading your paper for several months know that l am still alive and kicking and am working together with in- huential friends in Mexico in the in- terest of all who are interested in prospecting and mining in that coun- try to have the mining law as to Article lS Explorers Right of three months changed for the better.
 The elusive repetition of acquiring ninety day permit to explore almost whole district from ninety to ninety days, again and again, by parties who never have the least idea of prospect ing, less of spending a single nimble nickle in having it done by others, and only take out the permit in order that, if poor miner finds agood lode, they might benefit and take away from the poor prospectvr what he has hunted for, earned by the sweat of his brow and by right should belong to him, is all wrong. It is the prospector who rustles in the mountains, freezes in the winter, swelters in the summer, endures bedrazzllng in the rain, is stabbed with a million espInas, stung by scorpions and tarantulas, sufiocated by gnats, attacked by rattlcrs, startled by monsters, blisters his feet, gets oyerrun by coyotes, hunting for new veins, and not the one who spies around imposing upon the community in taking advantage of the miner by locating a whole country where he has ascertained prospector wants to work, who should be permitted to locate claims.
 An amendment to Article B. must be made in order to prevent such in- justice; the pace of ground covered by an exploring permit should not ex- ceed ten pertenencias over one speci- fled certain lode.
 I have often been asked what show American miners would stand pros pecting in Mexico. My answer always has been very little. Unacquainted with the language and ignorant of the law, their experience is to be showed out But when the change of Article B. in the mining law has been accom- plished, the ground can be taken up in bulk at random no more, and min ing law suits, such as we have had in the district of Altar and such as are pending there in court, cannot occur so often and American prospectors may have a change. After a man has once acquired his title to property in Mexico and pays his taxes regularly, his rights to property in that country are equal to the rights acquired to in the United States of Amer ica, but if he neglects paying, he loses his property and also the right of re- locating the same.
 Respectfully,

4 Reported Inteference.

It has been stated that there has been imposed new customs regula- tion by the Mexican authorities at the capital of tie republic, prohibiting entry Ofteams from the American side for short periods without full payment of duty. One of the features of the rumor was that this prohibition is ex- tended only to the Magdalena and AL tar districts and does not apply to the Moctezuma andArizpe districts. THE OASIS editor was told that the prohi- bition applies to the two latter named districts; but by petition the people there have had it suspended. Yester- day like petition was circulated for signatures and it will doubtless cause suspension of the prohibition for the Altar and Magdalena districts, aud permit free communication herewith

Tho Smuggiers.

The Holmes & Wolford Company COM
mence a three nights engagement at
the Auditorium Thursday night, open
ing with the sensational melo-drama

partment of the government Steph.
Lyndon, smuggler, Jack Hardy, a
revenue officer, and Edith Lyndon, a
young We man who is the promised wife
of one but who is in love with the
other, are the principal characters of
the piece. There is another character,
that of Bill Hick, however repulsive
it may be, that occupies prominent
position and has much to do with the
unraveling of the story. The plot has
a fierce love interest, vived romance,
with plenty of comedy to Offset the
more sombre scenes. 1.-The Smugglers''
affords ample opportunity for scenic
and mechanical effects, the company
using all their own special scenery for
the production. Among the novel and
realistic scenic effects may be men
toned "The Smugglers' Cave, '"The
Revolving Prison, THE old Boat
House,, Deck of the Revenue Cutter
The Petral''', 1.-The Fire at Sea-, 1.-The
Sinking Ship" and the beautiful "Tropi-
cal Island''. All of the above scenery
is carried by the company and used in
each production. AS this is the first
appearance of the company in Marietta,
on Thursday, the opening night, ladies
will be admitted to the best reserved
seats if accompanied by any person
holding paid 30-cent ticket.
Prices will be 10, 90 and 80 cents,

DE Icons Comedians closed a

Saturday evening. There is not great
