| claim, through the Civil Service law.
They contend that the union has nothing
to do with them; cannot harm them, and
therefore they will have nothing to do
with it.
This has naturally angered the union
women, many of whom also got their
places through the same law. and il was
their efforts, aided by the president of the
organization, Bertrand Nolan, who is a
member OF the Printing Pressmen and
Helpers Union, that inspired the latter
body to take the decided stand it did at
its late meeting.
This action was to the effect that all
feeders employed at the Government
with the Press Feeders Union by Sep
tember ! next. Printers and pressmen at
the Government Printing Office, it was
argued. when the question was broached
in the convention, are in the classified
service. They are also required by the
unions to be union members. There is no
reason, therefore, IT was held. that press
feeders who were appointed through the
Civil Service law should not be amenable
to the rules of the feeders union.
1t is said that out of something like 200
press feeders employed in the main office
and various branches of the Government
Printing Office, less than one-half are
now in good standing in the union. Of
about seventy feeders at work in the
main press room of the Government Office
only twenty-seven are now in good stand
ing.
Similar trouble, il is stated, was had
some time ago by the members of the
wonan's bookbindery union, but a de-
cided stand was taken with satisfactory
results. There were a few non-iIniOn
bookbinders at work at the Government
Printing Office, it is said, who refused to
Join the union. The union members took
a firm stand against them. it is said, and
as a result those who at first declined to
become members of the union Joined and
thus ended the trouble.
Up to this time, however, there has been
no intimation as to what action Will be
taken by the members of the Press Feed
ers Union In the event that those now
not members refuse to affiliate. This ques-
ton will. however. come up for considera-
ton at the next meeting OF the feeders
union, and will also probably he discussed
at the monthly meeting of Columbia Ty-
biographical Union No. 10l which will he
held August is next. Until that time il
is not anticipated any further action will
be taken in the matter.

COMING AFTER MCDOWELL.
A st. Louis Policeman Will Claim
the Alleged Swindler.
The Man with Many Aliases Photo

GalIery-Some of His Previous Ex-
pIOits-Incidents of His Capture.

John w. Cordell, of the St. Louis po-
lice department, will arrive in this city
this morning to take back to that juris-
diction Lewis c. Mcdowell, the man OF
many aliases. who was arrested Satur-
day afternoon by Detective Sergeants
Muller. Weldon, and Parham after des-
perate encounter, which, for time
threatened to terminate fatally for De
tective Sergeant Muller. A telegram was
received yesterday morning from Detec-
tive Cordell announcing his arrival al
Cincinnati and stating that he would take
the first train out for this city. Mellow
ell, il is believed, will not resist being
taken to St. Louis, and it is likely that
he will leave here on one of the after
noon trains.
Mcdowell spent his day quietly at the
Twelfth Street police station yesterday,
the monotony being varied only by lit
tie excursion downtown in company with
the detectives. lie was first taken to the
official photographer on Pennsylvania
Avenue, where he was photographed for
the rogues gallery. At his own request
he was then permitted to have a tintype
OF himself taken which he said he was
desirous of sending to his wife. He was
then taken around the corner TO Police
Headquarters, where his Bertillon meas
urements were taken TO complete the rec
ord for the gallery.
He was extremely docile throughout the
entire trip and gave the officers no trou-
BILE whatever. He seemed interested in
the comparison of the measurements be-
ing taken with those that had been pre-
viously taken Of him in st. Louis and
Cincinnati, but at no time did the sus-
picion of a smile show itself upon his
features. After the measurements were
completed he sat in the assembly room
for some time and conversed with the
detectives before he was returned to his
cell at the police station in the patrol
wagon.
During McDowells stay at Headquar-
ters Detective Hoban, of Baltimore, ar
rived TO lock him over and to tell the
local authorities of his exploits in that
city According 10 Detective Hoban, Nc
Dowell arrived in Baltimore about
o'clock Friday night and put up at the
Mansion House under the name of j. II.
Connolly. Saturday morning he started
out to visit the various jewelers. and ply
his nefarious occupation, but had visited
only two stores when he became sus-
picious of the treatment that he was re-
ceiving and determined that it would be
safer for him to quit the town at once.
He had been unsuccessful in his attempt
to secure the jewelry, but one of his in
tended victims had notified the police and
given an excellent description of the man.
The detectives had been stationed at the
prominent jewelry stores and at the de-
pots but Mcdowell gave them the slip
and came TO Washington.
As arrangements had been completed by
the local police to turn Mcdowell over
to the St Louis authorities Detective Ho-
ban could but express his regret that he

 In conducting to a successful ter imitation this colossal financial un- dertaking MT. Sharpe has given good account of his sojourn in Son. ora during the past eighteen months. Only those who have penetrated the fastnesses of the Sierra Madre, scaling lofty mountain ranges, treading narrow and peril ous trails, where the only means of transportation is the hurricane deck Of mule, ' camping at night beside the trail, packing with him his bed and board, can appreciate the almost superhuman effort the gentleman has had to put forth in overcrowding obstacles of all kinds. But with energy and determination he bent himself to the colossal un- dertaking, aud now enjoys that sweet reward, the consciousness of having achieved a tremendous suc- cess, whether the transaction be viewed from the standpoint of financial results or from that of great difficulties crossed and the creation of great industrial rIant. In his rich and dererved success MT. Sharpe has justly earned the need of earnest and sincere praise; and THE OASIS extends the nose hearty congratulations.

Progressing Rapidly.

The new foundry and machine shop of the Arizona & Sonora Manufacturing Co.,, is being push ed forward as speedily as men and money can do the work. The buildings are going up rapidly, and they will be finished, with the machinery installed and in opera tion, within three months. The new establishment will be equipped to supply anything needed in the machinery line by mine or min ing company upon the shortest possible notice. The foundry will have melting capacity of five tons per hour, and can turn out single finished casting of that same weight. There will also be a "hurry up" cupola furnace of oue- half ton capacity, to turn out small castings on short orders where time is a consideration. There will be a five ton crane, and trolly which will deliver any casting, lathe or planer at any point from ore end of the shop to the other.

 IS estimated that within that area are fully five hundred mineral
 bearing lodges. The timber-oak, pine and many oth.r varities also of great value. Of the mineral properties included the Mulatos proper is the principal and most noted. During nearly century it has been worked, in spots, in des- ultory fashion, and many thousand of dollars have been extracted and shipped. It consists of two tre- mendous "blowouts' of rock, each or which is veritable mountain of gold bearing ores. The largest, close to the town of Mulatos, is esti- mated by competent experts to con- tain one million, five hundred thou 'and tons of ore, which will mill six dollars gold per ton. The other, overlooking the Mulatos river, one mile away, measures one two hundred and fifty thousand tons of gold ore of the same milling value. Within these of auriferous rock occur kidneys of high grade ore, some of which go as high as $40 gold per ton, and even upward. When THE OASIS editor visited the property in January they were stoping ore of that quality out of a chamber which was sixty-6ve feet in width, thirty six feet high, about the same dis tance across in the opposite from the width, and there was still big breast of the same quality of ore in front of the work. men.
