Wine of Cardui has benefited every woman who has taken it. Such a remedy is worthy every womans confidence in the time of sickness when doctors fail and other medi- cines do not bring the sufferer relief. Wine of Cardui will cure any un- complicated cases of irregular pe- riods and bearing down pains. It is valuable during pregnancy, at child birth and during the change of life. It is not a strong medicine but it quickly relieves female troubles in an easy and natural way. It strength ems the nervous system, acts directly on the genital organs and is the finest tonic for women known to the medical science.
 1fMrs. Powell was cured by Wine of Cardui and recommends it to thousands of her lodge members, don t you think it is worth a trial in your home?
 All druggists sell s1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui.

Rev. John [. Barnard Relates Ex
 perience at Grove Hill

Annlston, Oct. 7.-(Special. )-Rev. John E. Barnard pastor of the First Baptist Church here has returned from revival at Grove Hill. in which there occurred a singular experience of prayers being answered, said MT. Barnard.
 After the first night service. the pastor and assistant prayed together for the con versation of ten souls the next day, and fourteen were converted. The second night they prayed for the salvation of twelve the next day. and exactly twelve were saved. At the close of this service the congregation was requested to pray for the conversion of fifteen during the next day. Friday. At the Friday morn ing service no one was converted. This caused some to doubt getting the fifteen for the day. But the Lord who had promised. was faithful and at the close of the service Friday night sixteen lad surrendered to Jesus.
 ''The congregation was then requested to pray for the salvation of twenty-four others Saturday and Sunday. The meet ing continued through Saturday and up to the close of the Sunday morning ser vice with only three conversions during Saturday and Sunday morning. The unbelieving world and the skeptical church members were so sure the twenty-fiJe would not be converted during

The spirit sought out the sinners until twenty six were converted that night. twenty-five at the church and a woman who had rot been to service during the meeting. but afterwards came and joined the church.

and at it's present rate of growth will shortly attain population of 25,000.
 At Campo Santo Nino the devel- opment of the great properties of the Yaqui Copper Company will create another city fully as large. In these immense deposits of cop per there is presented the greatest surface showing ever made any where, and the development work in course of prosecution demon- strates that the ore bodies extend to great depths.
 Near Bacoache and Manzanal are other great copper properties, while the great placer gold deposits recently discovered along the Sono- ra river in the vicinity of Bacoache, will give rise to thriving camps and supply heavy traffic.
 The new camps springing up in the Moctezuma district will also be greatly benefited by construction of the new railway. In the eastern part of the Ures district the Colo rada- Ures, Matape and Soyopa jurisdictions, there is also great mineral region which will receive a tremendous impetus from con struction of this line.
 Down the Yaqui, at La Barranca, there will grow up a great coal mining town, and at San Antonio de la Huerta, but few miles away from La Barranca, customs re- duction and refining plant is al- ready in course of construction, which, with the advantage of very cheap fuel and a wonderfully rich surrounding mineral region, will

Board of Equalization.

Monday and several days follow ing, the Santa Cruz county board of equalization sat in Nogales to hear those who had been notified that their assessment would be raised, and the proceedings about the clerks office at the court house were quite lively. Each and every one of the. interested taxpayers presented strong reasons why he should not be compelled to stand a raise, but very few succeeded in convincing the board.
 About the most severely hit ap" peared to be MT. w. N. Cummings, and he made showing which had great deal of weight in the minds of all who heard it. He called attention to the fact that his prop erty on Crawford street and Sonoi- ta avenue is assessed five cents per square foot more than the Monte zuma hotel property.
 Now" said MT. Cummings to Chairman Williams, q will trade you my ground for the Montezuma hotel ground at the rate of five feet of mine for one of yours, and I will pay you for your buildings and inn provements, and you pay me for my buildings and improvements"
 Such a showing as that made by Mr. Cummings demonstrates one of two propositions: Either his prop erty is assessed at too high rate, or the Montezuma hotel ground is assessed too low. The general sen- timent is that the latter is the real situation.

Water Improvements.

The Nogales Water Company are perfecting some very excellent work in their plant. In the we'll No. 1, just at the southern edge of town, a new well has been sunk to bed rock, beside the arroyo. This well was excavated a diameter of eighteen feet. Then a square, 6x6 foot box of two-inch plank was built up from bed rock to the sur face, and the space outside was filled with broken stone. Inside of that a four-foot perforated steel cylinder, eight feet high, was set upon the bed rock and the space between its outer surface and the wooden box a filling of broken stone was laid. Then from the center of that there arises to the surface perforated steel pipe, one foot in diameter, to which is att tached the steel suction pipe of the pump. This arrangement makes perfect filter, and all water pumped into the reservoir is as pure as fil- tration can make 1t.
 At the we'll one mile south of town the former building has been removed and the stone curbing of the we'll carried to height of seven feet and roofed over. The water from this well is siphoned into the water system of the city.
 The upper wells about three miles from town are in good sup ply, and yield good supply of water.

Only the richest ores paid to extract and work, and millions of tons of ore of grades too low to work then, but which will pay to work now are exposed to view. Rail transportation and modern machinery and methods of ore extraction and reduction will bring forth those unrealized mill lions to the enrichment of thou sands of enterprising and indus trious people, and a new chain of towns and cities will spring up along the western slope of the Sie- rra Madre.

THE YAQUI RAILROAD.
Work Commenced Upon the New line Which Will Soon Open the Sierra Madre Region.

TIE OASIS is in receipt of the following circular which has been recently promulgated:
 Circular No. 1. Cananea, Yaqui River < Pacific Railway Company, office of the president and general manager, Los Angeles, July IS, 1902.
 The Cananea. Yaqui River and Pacific Railroad Company, having acquired the Cananea Consolidated Copper Company's standard gauge railway, connecting the town of La Cananea, in Sonora, Mexico, with the town of Naco, Sonora, Mexico |, including telegraph and telephone lines, franchises and all other rail- way property and appurtances, does of this date assume control of the same.
 Mir. k. A. Mcfarland is appoint ed assistant manager and chief engineer, with headquarters at Naco, Sonora, Mexico, and will have immediate charge of the prop erty, reporting to the president.
 EPEs RANDOLPH, President and General Manager.
 The above described railway is the one of which THE OASIS by authority of Mir. w. c. Greene, in the latter part of May, presented the first information. At that time MT. Greene stated that while not definitely settled, it was thought the route would extend from La Cananea to Bacoache, thence to the Moctezuma river, in the vicinity of Cumpas or Moctezuma down that river to the Yaqui, passing the new and immense copper camp Mir. Greene and Colonel Harlow are developing at Campo Santo Nino, and connecting the great coke and coal deposits at La Barranca with both the greater copper camps Santo Nino and La Cananea-from La Barranca, penetrating and dew eloping the rich mineral regions of the Sahuaripa and Alamos districts and connecting the city of Alamos with the north. From Alamos the route will go into the State of Sina- loa, seeking a harbor at one of the roadsteads along the gulf coast in that state.
 Another possible route would be down the Sonora river from Bacoa- che to the vicinity of Canada An cha, thence across to the Moctezuma at Batuc, and down the rest of the way as described above.
 Last week it was stated that work of grading had commenced at La Cananea on the section from that place to Bacoache. The route from the latter place will be soon develo ped.
 This road will be pushed to a speedy completion and will open to development one of the greatest regions of natural resources on the Pacific Coast. From La Cananea all the way to Alamos and beyond lies the heart of the region which contributed most to the great treas ures drawn by Spain from North America during two centuries of domination by that power. Scat tered through the entire region are ruins of large towns and goodly cities which thrived and fourished
