F, Spence, resi- dent of Houston, Tex, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Fulton, ply ing between New Orleans and Nicara- guan ports, and confirmed the reports.

THE RUSH TO THE KLoNDIKE.
Hundreds of Men Waiting to Sail
 Warnings Disregarded.


 Warnings Disregarded.
 Victoria, B. C., Aug. 12.-Desplte the warnings sent out that men already at Dyea and Skagaway are unable to get across the pass, and that very few of the men there will get to the mines this year, several hundred men are here waiting to take passage for the north on the steamer Bristol, and all of the accommodations on the Islander, which sails on Monday, have been taken up. The question of establishing bank at Dawson City, Yukon is now before the Canadian government.
 Seattle, Wash, Aug. 12-The block ade of Klondikers at Dyea and Skaga- way will lead to much suffering this winter. Captain Annex, who was the pilot of the steamer Islander, which has just returned from the north, says that affairs are in very bad shape, and could not be much worse, Two thou sand persons are camped along the iioisNN oN fNN~~N animals at hand, and have practically no chance of getting over the pass. One of the United States commissioners, by using his official influence and paying $400 in coin, managed to get the Indians to pack his outfit over the Chilkoot pass to the lakes.
 Of the others who went from Puget Sound without horses not one in fifty will get across the mountains this win ter Seven Seattle men who went up on the Islander returned on the Victo- ria utterly disgusted with the prospect, and will remain at home until spring, when they expect to make another start. Those who have horses and boats stand fairly good chance of get ting through, but the start must be made before winter comes on.

 tent to give her daughter the right advice about how to keep herself we'll and strong Ill 1naidenly way she should seek the ad- vice of some physician of years of wide experience, and of substantial reputation. A young woman naturally does not like to be subject of discussion, examination and the horrible local treatment of home doc tor. Moreover, obscure physicians make the mistake of attributing her ills to indi- gestion, or heart or liver trouble, when the real cause is weakness or disease of the delicate organs concerned ill wifehood and motherhood
 The embarrassing examinations and local treatment upon which most doctors insist, are nine times in ten entirely unnecessary. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts di- rectly on woman's special organism and makes it strong and healthy and competent to bear the strain of wifehood and moth erhood. It allays inflammation, soothes pa1n heals alteration and stops facilitating drains. It banishes the sufferings of the period of expectancy, and makes baby's arrival in the world easy and almost pain less. Good druggists recommend it. Let ters addressed to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., are sacredly confidential.
 " It has been nearly four years since took Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription, writes Mrs c C. Clark, or New Rome Floyd Co.,, Ga "and there have been no signs of any return of female com plaint. l am now fifty years old and can walk two miles and one-half and to-day am as well as ever.

A cR LIFTING STANDING.

A well known capitalist operating
 in Sonora said to TIE OASIS editor
 one day last week "WhiIe at Carls-
 bad last summer l read your paper
 with much interest, receiving it re-
 gularly at the hands of gentleman
 now residing in Seryia, who is one Of
 your subscribers Again, recently.
 well known citizen of Nogales said
 to the editor: 'I saw copies of your
 paper regularly every week in Paris 2
 X third recently mentioned seeing TIE OASIS in London And numer- ous gentlemen have recently compli-
 mented the editor upon the work Of
 tue paper and it's wide circulation, de- claring they had encountered it in all
 the important cities of the United
 States, where it has numerous sub scribers and is widely recognized as the only reliable exponent of the develop
 ment of Southern Arizona and the
 Mexican state of Sonora.
 AS it's readers well know TIE OASIS is not given to vauntlng itself; but so frequently have compliments Of the kind mentioned come to the paper that it is admissible to present them to the public at this time, and assure the patrons of the paper that it's work is widely known and appreciated. It's subscription list includes prominent men in nearly every state in the Unioa, and it has subscribers in Eng- land. France, Spain, Belgium and Seryia. 1t has large subscription list in Sonora, and many subscribers in other states Of the Mexican re- public. Beside Its normal home cir culatlon at Nogales TIE OASIS has large lists of subscribers all over Southern Arizona, including Tucson. Phoenix, Bisbee, Tombstone and else where.
 This growth in the circulation and standing of TIE OASIS has been upon merit, which is the result of contln- uous and untiriDg effort to present the public with accurate and reliable information of the development aud progress Of the region surrounding and tributary to Nogales. It is uni versally admitted that no other paper published in Nogales has ever equalled it in that particular. Even it's enemies who bitterly resent the attitude of the paper in public matters, are forced to an admission of that fact: it's very advocacy of the measures which have drawn their enmity has made 1t a host Of warm friends who admire and applaud the courage with which it has taken it's stand on public questions and the skill with which it has presented the facts that show it's positions were correctly taken and those who condemn its course cannot l point to a single instance where that course has been wrong. Both in local | lffairs and in the broader field of na- .ional politics the utterances of TIE OASIS have ever been for honesty, de- ;ency and fairness. Those who have opposed it cannot truthfully deny | ,hese assertions.
 And the public can depend that the 'uture course of TIE OASIS will be | upon it's past. It will con ,inue to present all the information possible about the material resources # the region it serves and their deyel- ,pment.

 indebtedness incurred by committee
 appointed at a citizcns' meeting to
 employ legal talent to look for the in
 terests of the town in the ease before
 the land court involving the title to
 the Nogales de Elias land grant, in- lcluding, as it did, the townsite. That
 committee gave note for two thou sand dollars, payable when the case
 was decided in the supreme court of
 the United States. lt has been de- cded, favorably to the town, and the attorney holding the note wants his money The gentlemen who signed the note are +. C. HermoSillo, Louis
 Proto, J. J. Noon and C. A. Avery.
 When they did SO it was at the solici- tation of the people Of Nogales, made by public expression, with q plain un- derstanding that at the proper time the town authorities would assume and discharge the debt. There is extant a petition, signed by leading business men and property holders, asking that the town board assume and pay that debt. Unless it does so Messrs. Her mosillo, Proto and their associates will have it to pay.
 The other debt Is that incurred in building the Gro Blanco road That was public enterprise, in which the taxpayers and business men embarked with great deal of enthusiasm. They held public meetings, appointed the town board road building committee and submitted to voluntary tax Of one per cent to-create a fund toward building the road. When that money was expended the road was incomplete aud had 10 be finished lt would have been child's play to have stopped work then. In that juocture the road building committee borrowed two thousand Mexican dollars from Oscar Gebler. mourning just debt which was to be legalized and discharged by the town.
