SONORA SETTINGS.

Saturday of last week Mir. G. C.. Graham, long agent for the Sonora railway at Magdalena, returned from St. Louis, where he had been a num- Der of months under treatment for his eyesight, which had been seriously impaired. He returned greatly i'm. proved.
 Last week MT. J. l.. Shepard, the mining operator returned from busl- ness visit in the Moctezuma district going as far as Tepachi, near Lam- pazos. When he was ready to return rains had so raisednthe Moctezuma river that he had to wait four days for the water to subside so he could cross.
 MT. Silver has resigned the superin. tendence of the Zabiate mine, about fifteen miles from Ninas Prietas, and will return to California on account of failing health. MT. Samuel II. Oliver, brother of Mir. D. R. Oliver, President of the company, has suc- ceeded MT. Silver. MT. D. R. Oliver was at the mine last week and has since returned to San Francisco. Wednesday MT. Silver went to Her. mosillo, en route to San Francisco.
 THE OASIS is in receipt of copy cf a prospectus of the Sonora Develop ment Co.,, of Kansas City, with re- port from Mir J. E. Lawrence, NJ. E., who recently exported the properties of that company in the Moctezuma district, an article from the Age of Steel upon Sonora mines, and the article upon the Moctezuma distrlct which appeared i'd THE OASIS on Jan- uary 5th. It is very interesting brochure.
 A letter from New York to THE OASIS, received Tuesday conveys the information that project is under consideration in that city for capital ization and exploitation of the con cession in the state of Sonora granted by the Mexican government to Dr. J. Diaz Prieto, formerly Mexican Consul at Corpus Christi, Texas, and now holding the same post at Phoenix, Arizona. By the terms of this con- cession Dr. Prieto is granted all the public lands in Sonora not previously disposed, and the excess claimed in all grants heretofore made, above the ac- tual amount granted. This includes fine agricultural and grazing lands in all parts of the state, and millions of acres of the magnificent Sierra Madre forests. The concession conveys an immense property, and to properly utilize it will require no small amount of capital: but with it millions of dollars of profit can be realized To properly exploit the grant company is to be organized and the shares fiOated.

As the homo corners from religious
services on last Sunday night were
snufiing the chamber lights and Che pale
moon peeped above its watery couch the
silent tears of faces turning from deaths
domain told that another life had passed
into the Great Beyond. Sorrowfully
expectaut faces had shown for some
hours-maybe day or two-that the
crisis was near. For some weeks typhoid
had stricken the frame of Mrs. Brew
ington, but skilled medical attention
seemed to be gaining the mastery, when
pneumonia attacked the exhausted frame.
Wan and emaciated it could not with
stand the onslaught, and after few
days, though jealousy guarded and
cared for, the spirit left its earthly
temple.
The deceased was a native of Bivalye,
Wicomico county, Md, having been
born there November 18th, 1912, and
consequently was in her 59th year. Her
maiden name was Insley, when, on
April 18th, 1870. she coupled it with that
of Isaac Wesley Brewington, whom she
survived about nine years. An only child,
Edward w. Brewington, was born to
them. They removed TO Irvington,
then known as Carter's Creek, while
he was yet child. This son, who
is member of the firm of T. j. Willing
81 Co., and son by Mr.. Brewington's
first marriage, Jno. C. Brewington, sur
vive her and are prominent citizens of
oar village. The devotion which these
two, and their family connections, have
shown TO the departed all through their
association with her, is commendable
and affords example worthy of emula-
ton. Mrs. Brewington was a conse-
Grated member of the Methodist church,
was foremost in all the lady-societies
and leaves record for spirituality ex.
celled by few.
The funeral obsequies were held at
the Methodist church here on Tuesday
morning, the pastor, Rev. G. r. James,
conducting the services. Her remains
were inferred in the church cemetery
by the side of those of her husband.
The pall-bearers were: Messrs. Jno. w,
Hundley, 7. j. Hayden, w. H. Ford, G.
@. Kirkmyer, s. p. Simmons and R. S.
Mitchell.

Chun May Keen Away

1t is now doubtful whether Prince
Chun will come to Berlin to make
formal apology for the murder of
Baron Won KetteIer. Members of
the expiatory mission say:
"Under the present conditions we
can never go to Berlin. We would
rather die than accept them"
They object particularly to Prince
Chun's attendants prostrating them
selves before Emperor William, as
this is "a special honor reserved for
the Emperor of China, and would
involve recognition of the Kaiser's
equality with the Chinese monarch.
