lines so much falsehood. Mir.
 Green was not in jail six days, and he did not put up one hundred thousand dollars cash bail in order to secure a release to attend the funeral of his deceased wife. Ex- Governor Corral did not lodge serious charges against MT. Greene,
 and made no accusations whatever against him. In fact Don Ramon
 Corral, ex-Governor of the state ot Sonora, has never had any counec-
 ton whatever with the Cobre Gran de matter. As for the other in- famous charges against Governor Corral: they are likewise utterly false and without any foundation
 whatever. As one of the most en- frightened and progressive chief ex- ecutives who ever guided the des- tinies of any state Don Ramon has always been liberal in his policy
 and treatment of foreigners doing
 business in Sonora, and be has been
 particularly so in regard to Amer
 jeans. He has always recognized
 that an abundance of foreign capi-
 tai is necessary for successful devel- opment of the virgin resources of his great state, and he has done everything possible to encourage and foster it's coming and investing. It is hardly worth while to pay any attention to the assertion of the Gazette with reference to the Minas Prietas mines. But the truth in the matter shows up the falsehood of the Gazette so plainly that 1t may we'll be told. Don Ramon was attorney for the Colorada-C -Creston Co. before he ever became secretary of state and governor and yet con tinues in that employment. He has rendered the company satisiac- tory service, and received satisfac- tory remuneration. The Colorado Creston company owns and oper- ates the Colorado, the Creston and the Minas Prietas mines. In the immediate vicinity of those three properties was the Amarillas ground, also supposed very valuable It was owned by other parties than the Color radaCreston Co. To purchase and develop the Amarillas ground a company was formed con si ting of MT. Howell Hinds, then manager of the Colorada-Creston Go; MT. Ignacio Bonillas, the engineer; Messrs. Pedro Negro and Pedro Penelli, underground fore men in the Colorado mine, and other employees and officials of the company. Among the gentlemen so interested, was Don Ramon Corral, the company's attorney. These gentlemen put in their money, purchased the Amarillas ground and developed a great mine. Afterward the Grand Central mine, an adjoining property was bought for two hundred and fifty thousand Io11arc orAJ1 orI CancnI,do fad d

UNJUST AND OUTRAGEOUS.

Last week THE OASIS took oc- casion to criticise an article which had then recently appeared in the Arizona Gazette with reference to the Cobre Grande matters, which have of late received so much airing through the public press of the ter ri.ory. Al that time it was thought that merely passing allusion was all that was necessary to give the arti- cle i'll question. But 1t has since been learned that the outrageous and odious article IS being sown broadcast throughout the east, among investors everywhere, to the detriment not only of the min ing properties described, but to the detriment also of numerous other operators who are floating Sonora properties and negotiating with eastern capital for means to prose cute development and and set up machinery. So it has been con sidered wise to print in these col umns the article in full and direct reply thereto as follows:

MEXICAN COURTESY.
People Along the Rio Grnnde Are
Very Polite In Their In
tercOurse.

The MeXicans observe many little
courtesies that an American rarely
thinks about, writes j. p. Cranke in
Woman's Home Companion. For in
stance, two gentlemen meeting on the
street gravely salute each other by
raising their hats. AS they invariably
extend this same salutatton to their
American acquaintances the latter
must respond in kind, and thus the hab-
it is formed. 1t is often lauehable to
see two Americans meet, and with
grave dignity doff their hats through
the force of habit acquired in their in
tercourse with MeXicans, and then OBJ
serve the expression of their faces as
they realize what they have done. The
only passport to the best society is the
culture and character of gentleman.
If man is not gentleman, were he
millionaire, he could never penetrate
that charmed inner circle that obtains
in every border town The MeNlcans
are equally exclusive. a letter of in
PRODUCTION from one side of the river TO
the other will, however, give stranger
instant recognition socially. They are
exceedingly careful about these intro
auctions, and a man must be well
known to somebody of Importance be-
fore he can secure one. 1t is rule in
Mexico that the one who introduces
stranger in this way is responsible even
for his bills. The American habit of
writing everybody a letter of recon-
mendation does not, therefore, prevail
here. But when one does get introduced
the Mexcans never weary in showing
courtesies. 70 the Mexican your friend
is the same ms yourself and should have
equal attention.

THE SUNSET OF THE YEAR.

b. rl,her hues than Tyrian dyes could LEND
Yon wooded hill by autumn's touch 10
dressed;
Whore golden birch and silver poplar blend
with naples crimson as the robins
breast;
Md fragrant pines and stately hemlocks
vie
with cedars vested in perennial green,
While russell robes Ger oak and beeChes lie,
And sumachs, raising flaming torches high,
In sunny spots and sylvan hooks are seen.
with dog and gun the sportsman eager HES
Through browning fields once fair with
waving grain,
Where timid quail from out the stupble
rise,
And poor "Bob white" must chant his
plea in vain.
From yonder marsh there comes the plov-
ers call,
rabbit ats from friendly thicket nigh;
A lonely woodcock in the bushes tall
Whistles his note ere brown wings down
ward fall,
As rings his death-knel to the autumn
sky.
IN forest depths the evenings quiet broods,
Save where some lingering songster pipes
his tune,
And in the amber glory Of the woods
Perchance rejoices In the suns of June.
But through the asles, with rustling car
pets spread,
There fails no more upon the listening
ear,
Through spacious nave and archway over
head,
The melody Of song--the choir has fed;
The calm that tells the seasons close is
here.
Der forest, field and marsh and wooded hill
The golden lights in wondrous splendor
lie, -,
Ere winter comes, of stern and rugged Will,
And autumn whispers to the world good
by;
But ere the song Of mountain stream be
stllled,
And russell robes give place TO ermine

Again Is earth with summers presence
filed,
| And natures heart with joyous whisper
ings thrilled
In this. the radiant sunset Of the year.

NURSERY COOKERY.
FOR THE BABIES.
BY Christine Terhune Herrick.

CONTINUED from last week)
There prevails an impression, ground
ed upon ignorance, that milk alone will
not sufficiently nourish young child,
but must be supplemented by something
else. The student of food values appre-
ciates the fact that milk is what is
known as perfect food" That is to
say, it contaiks all the elements neces-
sary to support life. Alone. it would be
nutriment enough to provide for well
baby's health and growth until it had
passed its first year.
Such is the delicacy of a little baby's
stomach, however, that it can rarely
bear undiluted cows milk. 1t must be
mixed with water, or perhaps have
cream added to it or pepsin or lime
water, or be prepared in some other com
bination advised by a physician. In
many cases the mothers most valuable
aid, next to milk. will be found in one
OF the infants foods to which reference
has already been made. The manufact-
urers of these declare that the ingredi-
ents of their wares have been submitted
to certain processes which have antici-
pated the work of digestion so that the
food is in a condition to be managed by
tne CHllu immature gastric powers.
When the mother finds one of these
foods that is satisfactory, let her hold
fast to it and not be tempted by the re-
hearsal of the experiences of other
mothers to try a new article Nor must
she be discouraged if a food does not
suit a baby absolutely on the first two
or three trials. Frequently it may not
seem wholly satisfactory until the child
stomach becomes a little accustomed
to the new diet. After a few days or a
week a food will often prove entirely
suitable which at the first seemed as if
1t would not answer at all.

A LETTERS LONG JOURNEY.
zen Years between Sender and re-
cipIent, with n Touching
Side Light.

G. w. Koenig, clerk Of the probate
court, has received curious letter, or
series of letters, which shows the re-
markable journey of letter which had
been misdirected. The letter was mailed
in July, 1889, and just ten years and
one month after it was dropped in the
mail box it reached it's destination. In
the meantime, the person who wrote the
letter had married, became the mother
of boy, now seven years old, and died.
The person to whom the letter was sent
had removed from Akron, o., to San
Francisco, Cal.
On July 10, 1889, Miss Pauline Toelle,
then living in Baden, st. Louis county,
wrote a letter to Miss Alice Chisnell.
who lived at 1874 East Exchange street,
Akron, o. Unfortunately, by slip Of
the pen, the letter was directed TO st.
Louis. Enclosed in the envelope was
a money order for two dollars, which
the writer insisted on paying for two
little vests that Miss Chisnell, who was
her cousin, had bought for her in Chi
cago. The letter never reached Miss
Chisnell during the lifetime of Miss
Toelle. Three years afer the letter was
sent Miss Toelle married e. r. Koenig,
a brother of c. w. Koenig. The former
Is now living In st. Louis with his lit
tie boy, and is associated with the firm
of William Koenig g. Co., at 1870 South
Seventh street. Miss Toelle was also
sister Of Mrs. A. w. Koenig, 2708 South
Thirteenth street, the two sisters mar
rying brothers. Two years after the
marriage of Miss Toelle she died.
Meanwhile the letter written in 1889
had made a journey which covered town
after town in the United States. 1t
had been sent to the dead letter office
time and time again Between trips to
Washington the envelope which con-
tanned the letter became covered with
the names of post Office after post office,
until finally a second envelope was used,
and it, in turn, was covered with ad.
dresses. On August 10 of this year,
while Miss Chisnel was on a visit to
Los Angeles. Cal, from her home in San
Francisco, she was handed the envelope
containing the letter, now almost vel
low with age. The money order had
1t hpd become outlawed through the
lapse of time. Upon her forwarding
the proper papers to the post office de-
partment she received new money or
der for the two dollars, making the loss
good.
The letter received by Mr.. Koenig
from Miss Chisnell in regard to the mat
ter is touching. She incloses the two
dollars, which had been sent to her,
saying that she had never intended that
her cousin should pay for the two vests.
Miss Chisnell made one request. She
asked that suitable gift be purchased
with the two dollars, seemingly recov-
cred from the grave, and that the gift be
given the little boy as the present from
his mother Mr.. Koenig will do so, and
the letter and envelopes, with the many
addresses and stamps upon it, will be
kept as a sort of family heirloom.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

The First
Baby.

When baby comes to the home it will
bind the wife closer to the husband, or
it will gradually tend to cut her off from
his companship. A sickly mother loses

trial, even to loving parents. The use
OF DIR, Pierce's Favorite Prescription
prepares the wife for motherhood. 1t
strengthens the body, and induces
healthy condition of mind, free from
anxiety or fear. 1t makes the baby's
advent practically painless. The mother

a healthy child is a happy child, JOY
to the parents, linking them together
with a new bond of affection.
