A Rare Collection |.

preter in the office of General Manager J. A. Naugleof the Sonora railway, ir Guaymas, pursues with no little ardol the fad of numismatism and collec tion of curiosities and relics generally The other day he exhibited to THf OASIS editor his collection. which is really surprising in it's extent and va riety. There were large number of gold, silver and copper coins, tokens, medals, etc, list of which would fill several co.umns in THE OASIS
 The principal gold coin was a half doubloon of French coinage dated in 179s, bearing the effigy and seal of Napoleon, emperor of France, on the obyerse, while on the reverse 1t reads French Republic" Its intrinsic val ue is about four dollars. The other gold coins are of different dates, from the various hints of Europe and America, and there are two or three dozen of them, all very rare indeed.
 One of the rarities is large medal struck at the Philadelphia mint III 1869, during the presidency of General Grant, in commemoration of the first Pacific railway. Another rare medal IS a small one of bronze, presented by the authorities of the City of Madrid in Spain, in 1865, to Los Amigos de los Pobres, tthe friends of the poor) - those who aided in the care the sick during the cholera visitation of that year Another rare piece is an old ration check of the United States army, in use at the time of the war with Mexico. On the obyerse are the words tone ration;" the reverse bears the American coat Of arms, and on that side the disk resembles greatly the old copper half cent in circulation long before the war in lS6l5.
 Another very rare and novel piece is a triangular Spanish dollar, dated l7OS. It is very light and apparently cgrries considerable lead. It is lit- tie broader than a dollar, triangular in shape and corners rounded. It bears the crown of Spain and the cross. and is supposed to have been issued by ecclesiastical authority
 A very rare and interesting coin is a Spanish cast dollar, dated 1724. This was one of thirteen like 1t used in the marriage ceremony of the Yaqui h. dians. In the Yaqui war some years ago, the thirteen pieces fell into the hands of Mexican soldier, who. of course, ignorant of their numismatic value and recognizing that they were not current coin. proceeded to cast them into bullion, thinking that the most convenient form in which to realize. He had melted down seven when his commander discovered what be was doing, and saved the others. One, General A. Martinez gave MT. Gonzalez. He was offered one time fifty dollars gold for it.
 Several very peculiar and interest ing coins are known as 'macacos. :" They are of various sizes and denomin- ations, being irregular pieces of silver bullion in form approximating the pyramid. In the making the rude pyramids of Dallion were placed in press and the current valuation stamped upon them. The bullion was always little more than the stamp designated, and to reduce the coin to exact valuation the edge of knife blade was called into use and the sup erfiuous silver trimmed of the corners.
 Two rare coins in the collection are dollars dated IS22 and I223 hearing

between 1530 and l540 and over fifty Roman copper coins. Then there are a Spanish milled dollar of Charles III, TIT; a French five franc piece of Louis XVI, (who was beheaded at the be- ginning of the Reign of Terror) dated l7s5; centime of the French repub- lie of l792, bearing that year; Bel gian florin of 1764, Japanese coin, 300 years old; Burmese coin of un- known age, and numerous other coins and medals to list all of which would be here impossible, because he has about 1000 different coins and over 300 medals from various parts of the world.
 Mir. Gonzalez states that he has duplicates of many pieces and would be pleased to correspond with other collectors with view to exchanges.
 Among the objects of interest in the collection of Mir. Gonzalez are d varied assortment of paper money from all quarters; rare collection of autographs of eminent men, and nu- merous articles associated with various historical events. The Mex ican flag the Temochic Indians raised when they revolted in the state of about four years ago, and which was captured by General Ran gel; the cigarette case of Tetabiate; an autograph and portrait of Cajeme; the lance Of cavalry vf Ge eral Urea of Sonora, who was president of Mex leo for shCrt period. beautiful big huru trimmed with ~llver. and 4 silver stopper to Ue used d. d aribAfne cup, was presented tO MT. Gonzalez by General Pesqueira who had used it during his twenty years of service as governor of sonora Taken together He has rare aud very interesting collections over which many pleasant and profitable hours could be spent by the curious inclined.

DRIVER BLOCKS GALLANT ACT.
Substantial Evidence That 1t Is
Appreciated.

In the record of disorder and assaults on
women growing out of the street railroad

mend. and appreciation OF 1t is being shown
IN substantial way.
On last Sunday Edward NJ. Block driver

that, although he was felled by blow
from behind. the girls were enabled to es-
cape. The Republic has received several

turned over to the St Louis Star, which
several days ago started subscription for
Mr.. Blocks benefit. which already has
grown to nearly SWO. made up Of contribu-
tions from persons anxioos to show their
appreciation of Mr.. Blocks deed. The letter
inclosing the contribution is from Massa-
