HERN1oSILLO NOTES

Last week pr. G. H. Morre went to Noeales, returning home saturday morning
 Last week MT. and Mrs k. Luketich made visit of several days at Noga- les, returning to the sonora capitol Sunday morning.
 TIE OASIS acknowledges recei pt of ar invitation to the dedicatory servi ces ot the territorial capitol to be he d in Phoenix Fenrnary 3
 MT A. c Burrod, the new lessee uf the American hotel. opposite the railway depot, has rempdeled and greatly improved the property, and is now conducting the house very satis- factory to the travelling public. The house is convenient to trains, and street cars for all parts of the city start from it's door every five minutes.
 At the Central saloon, facing the Plazuela del Vieiectos, opposite the new building of the Banco de Sonora, MT Fred HOrnstein has very popu lar resort, bar room, reading room, etc, which is one of the features of the city. All visitors find Fred's place a pleasant one in which to while away time which might otherwise hang heavily.
 The new building of the Banco de Sonora, at Hermosillo, is rapidly ap- preaching completion, and the super- intendent of construction, Colonel A. F Wrotnowski, promises that the interior will be finished and ready for the hank to move in it's office by the first of March. When completed the structure will be one of the finest upon the west coast of Mexico.
 Last week MT. J. A. Simonds, of Canton, Ohio, was at Hermosillo, en route to Matape, where he is inter .ested in placer mining He has with him a new machine for washing placer dirt, simple in construction, easy of operation, economical and effective. Great success is predicted for it, and if anticipations are realiz ed the machine will be of great value all along the Yaqui and other mount. ain streams in Sonora.
 Cohen Brothers are in receipt of a fine lot of new furniture for the Grand Hotel, and are refurnishing all the guests chambers This favorite hostelry maintains it's popularity and is filled with guests. The dining room, under charge of MT. Fabian Maegelin, in conducted in the very best style and the menu always in. cludes the latest delicacies in the market. The house is headquirters for Americans in Sonora, and if you want to find anyone of them in Her. mosilo the first place you go to look fer him is at the Grand Hotel.

British Parliament for many years is

Chamberlain, colonial secretary. that

or elsewhere It's Indian and African
troops. II In an announcement OF most
profound interest TO the entire civilized
world, but more especially to those ma
lions which have millions OF semi
barbarous races subject 10 their rule.
Hitheto there has been strong
sentiment against the use Of semi-clvil-
lied races In the wars OF Christian
states. Il ~ sentiment that found
exprosslnon In the eighteenth century
at Westminster. when the great Lord
Chatham denounced with such elo-
quent indignation the employment by
the British commanders In this coun-
try OF Red Indian tribes against the
American revolutionary forces. There
are few newspapers. either In the

horses had made u particularly fine

$40 TO people In the street who were

a furore. Long reports Of the act were
telegraphed to all parts OF the coun-
